Vote.

This has been brewing in my head for sometime; I just needed a quiet moment to get my thoughts laid out right. I was going to give my opinion on various candidates, but have since changed my mind. Here is how I will always vote.

*I will ALWAYS vote life over death; never will I cast a ballot for a pro-choice candidate. Having given birth to two children, in addition to studying God’s word, it is inexplicably obvious to me that life begins at conception. I always think about the 3 times we were told that MH was dead and that I would need to have a D&C, only to have that heart continue to beat. She was alive inside me, a most perfect, treasured gift from God. She was alive because God gave her life, a life that he planned.
*I will always vote for character over empty promises. In today’s world everything is uncertain, the world today is so different from just 3 months ago. In times of trial, ones true character always comes out (you know, the who you are when you think no one is looking.) The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior (right Dr. Phil?)
*Morals over money.


So as you go to vote this week, think about how you vote, and why you choose a particular candidate, make informed decisions, it does matter, every vote counts!

Pray for Mckmama

Rollin' With the Homey's

How she rolls...

Workin' On the Chain Gang

Hello again. I have delayed posting due to lack of pictures. I wanted to post new pictures of the Lucy, but none of them ever do her justice. She is the cutest dog, especially when she wears her pink hoodie. I kid you not, she is ET made over, and we laughed until we cried in PetsMart. If she will cooperate I will try again later for a picture.
We have all been super busy, JB works all the time, the kids are busy with school and sports, while I work PT and try to keep the world spinning. I am sometimes so busy that I wonder where live is going. I am trying to stay focused on the kids and Jon. I feel sometimes I am losing touch with my friends, and that life is passing me by, which is not a very good feeling. I feel a little lost these days. Maybe it will be better when things slow down, whenever that is….
I am pondering an upcoming post regarding our looming presidential election. The Lord is definitely convicting me to express my convictions; I am just trying to get it straight in my head. All I will say is that I am spending a lot if time in prayer for our country these days.
Until then…

Where I Am

I am spending Thursday and Friday at what I would like to call "Paul's Sheraton," although it is my understanding that for some reason that won't happen. At any rate it was fun to sit and day dream that we were in the same place, along with 4,000 of my closest friends. The ACSI convention is there this week, today I took classes on Proactive Classroom Management, American: On the Road from Christanity to Islam, and Cheap Software for Your Classroom, plus one general session with the above mentioned 4,000 people. Over all it was a good day, however, leaving home at 6:30 was a little early. Tomorrow, I have three more classes and then home by early afternoon. Saturday is the first cheer competition, here is the link to it http://www.jamfest.com/Events/0809/MegaJAM/ThrillJAM.asp
Want to guess what time we have to be there? Try 8:15, why can't these things start later anyway,

Go Tilley's Stars!
