Try It Tuesday - with a twist!

Today, i encourage all of you to try to become better informed about what is going on in your city/state/national government. Here are some suggested places you could start:

Find out how homosexuals are trying to take away a Christian's right to religious freedom at http://www.afa.net/hatecrimes_20090615.html

Find out how Planned Parenthood is trying to convince the nation they are providing a public service at http://www.traditionalvalues.org/pdf_files/TVCSpecialRptPlannedParenthood.pdf and http://www.blackgenocide.org/sanger.html

Find out how President Obama is trying to take away a person's responsibility to provide for himself/herself at http://righttruth.typepad.com/right_truth/2009/02/hello-socialized-medicine.html

Find out how the government is trying to take away your rights as a parent at http://www.parentalrights.org/

Our "culture" has been trying to tell you "They" know what is best for your child, but as we have let them take more and more responsibility away from us parents, as we have let them condition us that sexuality and drug use are normal and natural and "kids will be kids," here is the fruit of "Their" labor:

~ "More than 700,000 teenagers in the United States will become pregnant this year alone, and half of all sexually active people will have a sexually transmitted infection by age 25." (hmm, great job, Culture)

~ "United States has the highest levels of teen pregnancy among developed nations." (oh, yeah, way to go, Society)

~ "Underage drinking costs the United States more than $58 billion every year." (umm, National Debt, anyone?)

~ "Ten percent of teens report that they have attended a rave, and ecstasy and other drugs were available at more than two-thirds of these raves." (but, let's just let our kids have fun, right? and the people who operate the raves have rights, too... right?)

~ "More than 60 percent of teens said that drugs were sold, used, or kept at their school." (but schools are safe. sure.)

~ "Teenagers whose parents talk to them on a regular basis about the dangers of drug use are 42 percent less likely to use drugs than those whose parents don’t." (but let's take away parental rights because the government does a much better job)

~ "Alcohol kills 6 ½ times more teenagers than all other illicit drugs combined." (but, ya know, at least they aren't getting high, right?)

Try to wake up today. Try to put on your Grown Up Hat. And try to find out what is really happening out there.

Be informed.
Be Blessed.

Health Care in the USA

Well, it is time for another political rant, so depending on your standing, you may want to mosey along.... Health care in the United States is apparently in need of an overhaul.  There are few who disagree.  However, the method of that overhaul is in question.  Many would like to use their power in government to take over health care.  Yeah, yeah, yeah, they are calling it a reform , but it is really just a takeover . So, okay, let's evaluate. Your company, which you have worked for your entire life, is losing money.  It is still afloat, but it isn't doing as well as it could.  You have a couple of choices as a member of the voting board of directors : you could vote in favor of a reevaluation of what is working and what isn't, what rules are already in place that aren't being followed that would benefit your bottom line, and what people in your company are beneficial and what people are detrimental, then you could weed out things and people who aren...

How Has Homeschooling Affected My Life?

Well, homeschooling IS my life, so suffice it to say, there's no stone unturned!  Massive takeover, at times, a bit hostile!! For example, my second child was getting ready to embark on Mother's Day Out and my first child was conveniently ensconced in a Government-run "educational" facility, and I had a glimmer of real freedom... for about a day.  Then I found out I was preggo with Baby #3.  Commence Meltdown. I have since gotten over that traumatic , er, beautiful time, and we have embraced homeschooling.  The freedom never came, the oldest got pulled from Uncle Sam's Brainwashing Academy, and the second offspring never entered a public school.  The third will not go away to preschool. They go with me to the doctor.  This, they do not love.  Neither do I. ( Mommy, why is she putting that there?? ) Alas, it is our lot in life... at least until the eldest is of babysitting age. They go with me to the grocery store.  This, they love occasion...

The Children Unite!

My children all got together last night while I was sleeping and decided to up the ante. They agreed to sabotage all of my good intentions with back-talk, whining, defiance, and drama. And that was just for breakfast. My day started with my husband grouching at me about something that doesn't affect him, followed by the Mommy Sweater attaching herself to me over my morning coffee and clinging for dear life. Not to be outdone, The Boy decided to refuse to do his math. That's it. He just wasn't gonna do it. So there. (yeah, he did his math) As if that wasn't enough to turn Super Mom into a blubbering idiot, The Princess, aka The Eldest Child, spent a laborious hour writing sentences for her spelling words, because " it's too ha-a-a-a-ard " to write a sentence using words like "kitchen" and "throw." Uh-huh. Sure. Well, more whining continued throughout the day, interspersed with moments of blatant defiance and dramatic flair over...
