Our hearts are burdened. My children are sad, I am sad.
The outcome of the election, has left me feeling mournful. I feel as though something I love- has died, and the loss of it is too much to understand. I don't know how to express my emotions. I look at my children and I cry. I think about the future of our America, and I disappointment.

I think that the outcome of the election, not just Obama's votes, but McCain and Chuck Baldwin also, is a picture of the strength of "Christians" in America. Dedication to God, Family, and Country, has changed over the years, that much is for sure. This year our votes have shown dedication to me, me, and me! (not personally me- but overall "me". ) We have Forgotten God, Overlooked Family, and Trashed Country!

What sad times for America. How do we look our children in the eyes and tell them what happened? Where we went wrong? How we allowed ourselves to be beguiled?

Yes, God is my hope, and my love, and my future. But He is also who I answer to- and this is a day that I don't have words for God. Just a broken heart. For God, my family and my country.

Everyone is in a buzz how to save $. How to make the most out of what you have.
I, too, am looking for ways to make the most of what we have and waste less. Waste is a big problem for us and I know that we need to get it together!
I have been looking for a way to chart what we have for food. Taking a look in our pantry, or kitchen cabinets for us. What and how much do we have of each item. Easy enough, to know what we have, but how do I keep up with this? I was hoping to find a chart on the Internet, all set to hang up- hahaha, well, I did find some charts, but either, I can't figure out how to work the chart or they are just plan ugly!
My point is for help. If you know of a great web site that has printables for the kitchen organization, please share! (must be free, and I would like it to be- well, let's say attractive to the eye!)

Watch

8-For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles; these are the beginnings of sorrows.
12-Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.
33-Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
34-For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.
35-Watch ye therefor: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:
36-Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
37-And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
Mark 13

Faith

Hebrews 11:1
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Hebrews 11:25
Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;

Psalm 40:4 Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, for such as turn aside to lies.

garden planning

I know you are going to think I am crazy, but I've been thinking about my gardens for next year! Here are the ideas I've been thinking about: (some were suppose to happen last year)

***eatable flowers

***herb garden

***wild flower garden

***onion and garlic garden!

of course there will be regular garden stuff, and I hope to get a better plan next year. Check out this pic of a person's garden, Wow! Now they have got it going on!

The Constitution Party Candidates did it again! What you say? They showed us what real men (that look to God) stand for!
We had a great time going to the Constitution Party meeting in Kansas City. Mr. Baldwin was running late because of a hold over due to bad weather. No matter, things went on! Our girls got asked before hand to sing the Pledge of Allegiance Song. (no I'm not going to be overly proud here, but WOW! ) So they didn't get to sing for a possible president of the US, but vise president candidate is very cool!
I didn't get to listen to much of the speaking, but my husband got to hear it all. Mr. Hubby, is not an easy man to please, so if he walks away feeling positive from you, your doing good! Mr. Hubby was very pleased with Mr. Castle. (VP candidate) "He really knows his stuff. This man is on top of it." And he was very pleased with Chuck Baldwin, too.
They gave real answers to the peoples questions. They tell you what they really think about the issue and a CLEAR answer on what they think should be done about the problem.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I must tell you, there is one really good drawback to being in the hall with a little one at these meetings. I got to meet Chuck Baldwin before everyone else even knew he was there! He let me take a picture of him and his wife and I got to shake hands with Mr. Baldwin. He looked me right in the eyes and asked me what my name was! and then I fainted.................well not really, but I was thinking how cool this moment was! (the bad thing is that my husband is never with me during these moments because he is in the meetings;-( I also got to speak with Mrs. Baldwin. I got to personally give her a small gift that I had brought for both of the wives and visit a bit with her. Let me tell you, she would make the White House look good! She was nicer than nice. I felt unworthy to be using her time! I was thankful to be able to tell her that it's the women of these men that I have a special prayer for, also. The whole family really has to be strong for these men. I don't know how well I would handle my hubby being gone so much and going to all these sort of events. I just wanted to tell her that my family really appreciates what her husband is working for, and that it takes a good women to to be a helper to such a man.
After the meeting we (as a family this time) got to meet Mr. Baldwin. He signed every sign that each child had made. And I got to take a pic. with Mr. Castle, too.
We will put this down as another "wild" 2008 adventure!
**pics later, sorry, they are on the camera memory and I have to switch that over to the computer**

CONSTITUTION PARTY

Today we are going to Kansas City to see the Constitution Party candidates for President and Vice President!!! Chuck Baldwin is who we are voting for Hope For America. Why?

-Because we believe in Freedom

-We like America being America as it was founded

-Less Government control all around!

-A man that answers to God

-We want jobs back in America

-We want our borders protected

-We want our solders here! protecting us on our soil!

-We want the government to stop letting private banks print up money out of thin air!

-We want someone who stands on something and stays strong!

*McCain is not a true Christian. He believes in evolution!

He twist what he stands for all the time. His voting record is not strong! One year he is for it, next year against. I don't trust that.

He is a member of the CFR, which is working to unite Canada, Mexico, and America as one! They are also very much for pushing the whole Global Warming lie. Yes, I did say lie. The facts behind global warming are twisted. (which is a lie!)

McCain is for the Patriot Act, which gives the government the right to listen to your phone calls, without you knowing. It give the government the right to come into my house without a permit and without me being home and without me even knowing they were here! Now if you can find good in that than you need to show it to me, because I see that as pure control!

The government can also take my cars from me, our animals, our food, our ways of protecting our family, and anything else they see fit to take- if a state of emergency is declared. Sorry, but I think we should be able to protect our families if America is in a state of emergency!!!

**Well, that's is just a few reasons we are voting for Constitution Party. We will be putting our Hope in God, because His Word says we should follow truth. His Word says that we should trust in Him and that He will bless a nation that turns to Him. I think that that means not voting for the "fat cats", and putting our vote for the men that will look to God for guidance.

(not just fill us with empty words of "hope" and "change", with out really telling us what he has planned) God never tells us to do what is most popular. God tells us to seek wisdom! I hope you will take the time to look into a Party for America http://www.constitutionparty.com/

**tell me what you don't agree with after you look up the party platform!
