Random Items of Interest

Christmas is coming and we are all looking into what to buy and what not to buy for our children. Well here is something to consider not buying; the Mattel Lil' Mommy Cuddle & Coo doll. Mattel was contacted by numerous parents with the complaint that the doll utters the words, "Islam is the light." The company denied these allegations, but with enough pressure supposedly removed that clip from the soundtrack of future productions. If you have the doll alreaedy, listen to it carefully. And if not, here is a clip of the soundtrack to listen to: Cuddle & Coo soundtrack

On another note, here is a movie offering to help overturn Roe vs. Wade. If you are interested in this cause, you can read about "Come What May", which is available on DVD, here.

So, I've found a new toy. Several friends have told me about Facebook, but I was a bit unsure of it, especially hearing about myspace. Well, I guess you could say I finally broke weak and joined. Wow! I had no idea how many of my friends were on it. It's a neat place to re-connect with those you don't see regularly, and even chat with those you do. I could get lost in it, but, just as with everything else, I must prioritize and enjoy in moderation.

24 Years!

Today I am 24 years old. By my second birthday, that is. Yes, it was October 21, 1984, when I was just 7 years old, that I asked Christ to come into my heart and save me from my sinful condition. He forgave and forgot!
Ashamed I must say that I am to be this "old" in the Lord and not as mature as I could be. I mean, I am 31 years old and am a wife, mother and have a few gray hairs and wrinkles even to show my age.
But how much fruit is seen in my life by others. Can someone look at me, listen to me and see a "Christian"? Not just by name, but a "follower of Christ." Is my conversation such as is pleasing to God? Can I direct someone to Him by my lifestyle?

I thank God for saving my soul. I thank Him for an eternity in Heaven. I thank Him for loving me so much that He sent His only begotton Son to the cross to die in my stead, for my sins. Such love!

Do you know Him? Does He know you?

America's Election

Our nation's polls are open for early voting today
Each one of us much cast our vote, and Christians, we must pray!

Everyone must take a stand, we each should make our choice;
To not decide this way or that means you won't have a voice.

The future of our country lies prayerfully in our own hands
But it's only on our knees that we can seek to save our land.

'Though neither candidate stands firm on Biblical convictions,
We must choose the closest one, regardless of their diction.

The Democratic party chose the pun "Obama-nation."
But truly looking from God's view, it's more "abomination."

Conservative Republican McCain will talk the talk
But when it's time to bite the bullet, will he walk the walk?

The only hope for change we have is living by God's Word.
And country first will be obtained by trusting in the Lord.

We know our Father has a plan, He knows just what's in store
And given what we're facing, we should pray as ne'er before.

Let's humbly bow before our God, let's pray and seek His face.
Let's turn away from wickedness and plead mercy and grace.

For He has promised He will hear His children and forgive,
He'll heal our land and teach us every day how we should live.

So do your part to save America from "Ichabod"
And help to keep our country "one nation under God!"
