My Historical Soapbox

As of today, the United States has its first African-American President. Shoot no! I didn't vote for him! There are many reasons, but mainly because I am a Christian!

OK OK! Go ahead and yell! I know that some people think that you can be both--a Christian and a Democrat! Well... according to my Bible, there are some things wrong with that!

1...The 10 Commandments say "Thou Shalt Not Kill", but Democrats believe in abortion. Shoot! Some of them even believe in partial-birth abortion. Of course everyone has there own beliefs about this subject. So, believe however you feel. I am PRO-LIFE! There are plenty of people who can not have children, but that want them. Please share that opportunity with them. Do not kill your child just because you decided that it was more fun to make him/her than to have him/her.

2...The Bible says that homosexuality is an abomination. Democrats believe that men should be able to marry men and women should be able to marry women. Exactly what is that going to prove? God created man and woman. He established the family as the first institution, even before He established the church.

I have plenty of other points to argue, but I know it wouldn't matter. The US has already made the mistake now. We are stuck with him for 4 years... then we can replace him!

Just a note... exactly how is he African-American? He wasn't born in Africa. If he was, then he is African and cannot be an American president. You have to be BORN in the US in order to be able to run for the office of President. So...he's just plain ol' American! (Not that I care!) I just thought I'd throw that out there while I was on my Historical Soapbox!

If you have thoughts about this, share them please. If you disagree, it's ok by me. We can't all be right!

Until next time........

Amen Sister! I agree. I am probably the most non prejudice person you could find... I just strongly disagree with his beliefs.

I don't disagree with what you said about homosexuality and abortion

I didn't vote for our new president but I'm praying for him daily; his success is only going to come from the Lord; I fear for our country but what I fear is how far we have moved away from the Lord not who is in charge because I trust the Lord and I know for whatever reason he has the present administration in. I think we as Christ followers need pray, repent and to pray for others (2 Chronicles 7:14) and then our land will be healed

Well said. I agree with you. I respect the Office of the President, but the man, well, it's tough to respect someone who professes to believe in one thing, but whose actions tell a completely different story.

"a corgi" put what's in my heart into words better than I ever could.

Preach it, sista! I totally agree on both issues. I DON'T think you can be Christian and pro-abortion at the same time.

Weight Update!!

Last week, I didn't weigh myself because I was sick! Plus, I didn't really eat anything much at all last week. I did, however, register for Weight Watchers online. So I did spend time reading up and learning about the program. Today, I got on the scale. Two weeks ago, I weighed 402. Today, I weigh 390! In two weeks, I have lost another 12 lbs. That makes a total of 26 lbs. so far! I'm excited! Yeah, if you look at the previous post about my weight, it says that I started at 412. Yeah... I looked at the paper wrong. I started at 416. I lost 4 lbs the first week. I lost 4 lbs the second week. I lost 6 lbs the third week. Then I didn't weigh in last week. I weighed in today at 12 lbs down! I can tell it mostly in my pants. I HATE for my pants to be baggy, so I buy them to fit! Yesterday, I wore my black dress pants to church and I had to keep pulling them up. I'm going shopping next Sunday with my mom! I'm so happy! Next Sunday is my bday! So.....

Still Learning

Ok...so I'm always learning something new. However, recently, I have seriously been thinking about something. I want to learn to sew. My mom has a sewing machine I can use any time I want to. Of course, if I really learn to sew, I'd want my own sewing machine! ;) Anyways, I have been checking into classes. I have only found one place in my town that does classes. They offer a 4 week class for $115. That's not bad for a class. But, I'm afraid I wouldn't learn in 4 weeks and I'd need to take the class again! lol Anyways, I'm still looking into it. I'd love to learn. I will one day. However, I've seen some REALLY cute things that I'd love to sew for Chasity to wear! :) Until next time........

NC Weather

Image
In the state of NC, we rarely get that BIG SNOW. They used to be more common.  We used to get one huge snow a year.  Now, we are lucky if we get one every 2-3 years.    However, schools are cancelled, delayed, or let out early for weather all the time here.  We haven’t heard anything today about our schools, but we shall see.    It’s all about waiting to see what happens.  Sometimes, I think that God is sitting up there showing us HIS sense of humor.  He lets the weather people tell us whatever they want to tell us.  Then HE decides to have some fun with the weather.  (That’s just my 2 cents!)   Countdown Updates: 0 days until I pick up cookies!  TODAY is the day! They are still calling for “weather,” but they are pushing back the start time to later today. My scheduled pick up time is 6pm. So, we shall see.  It should be fine. Tony is going to drive me there so I’m not having to do it alone.  Then ...
