I cannot understand...

There are some things I cannot understand, and today is one of those ranting days...
We live in a country where you are free to worship whoever you want to... Except if it is Jesus Christ. If you are a Christian these days, you probably feel persecuted, like myself. Don't say Merry Christmas. Don't say Christmas party. Don't sing Christmas carols. Don't bring a Bible to school. Don't say you admire Jesus Christ for your report in school. Don't say he's your hero. Don't pray in school. Don't have a sculpture with the 10 commandments written on it in the court house. Don't say under God. Don't say In God We Trust, or you will be sued.

BUT, these hypocritical liberals will not work on Christmas day, and if they have to, they will charge overtime for it. Tomorrow is one of the holiest days in Christian faith. Will they work??? NOOOO! And what, can someone explain to me, are they celebrating? Why will they not work on a Christian holiday????

I hear your frustration, Paula. Don't tell me you needed to take care of something tomorrow and found out you won't be able to? I hope this is not the case. This world needs lots of prayers, that is for sure!

Nope, nothing I need to do besides going to church. Just honestly tired of being harrased and discriminated against for being a christian, but observing so much hypocresy when it comes down to it, that's all.

My bank is open today - that was surprising.

In any respect, I completely understand what you're talking about. It is a very sad state of affairs that our country was founded on God and yet we are succumbing to the whims and ways of non-Christians; my only advise is to be steadfast and relentless in your own faith and never waiver. (not that I would ever think you would, but you know what I mean).

GOD BLESS!

I hear ya!! All of our holy-days have become just "normal" days that non-Christians take as their own as well! Granted, Easter has also become just a wonderful time to get together with family--but it doesn't have a religious meaning for so many people!

As a Christian, I just try and make my faith known! this week, i have taken Easter as an opportunity to invite some people to church--knowing that even people who don't usually go to church might consider it at Eastertime! The only way to change how people think about Christianity is to be a good example of Christianity to others!

Hope you have a wonderful Easter

Amen, Cheryl Wray, Amen! All Christians need to be more of an example to the world and never give up. That is what we are called to do as followers of Jesus. Easter blessings to all of you! Holly

Funny Paula, a few ladies and I were discussing how, for Jewish holidays, we get days off of school entitled, Fall recess, yet we don't get Good Friday off.

There is always a double standard and I find it quite sad.

A few weeks ago, after work, I heard Brian scolding Cesar. (If you don't know it, Brian and I work from home, so my office is just a few steps from the kitchen, so i can hear pretty well) He was starting to sound VERY unhappy, especially because Cesar wouldn't own up to his mistake. OUCH! So, here I come into the kitchen and start listening in: BRIAN: "What do you mean you didn't take them? Are you hording them? Did you hide them?" CESAR: "Brian, I didn't take them, really" BRIAN: "What do you mean you didn't take them? Coco and Connor can't reach them. Mom wouldn't take them, and they did NOT grow legs". ME: "What are you guys talking about?" BRIAN: "It's just that we had the gumballs' container almost to the middle this morning, and now, there's barely one layer of them. The only one who could have done it is Cesar, and he won't even tell the truth!" ME: "Eh... mmmhhhh ... did we have t

About birds and TEA

Before I start my update... I just had to take a picture of Connor. He is such a BOY!!! I think boys are programmed to be goofy... If you have a boy, I'm sure you have found these kids of scenes, pretty much daily! Anyways, this Good Friday I participated in The Way of the Cross celebrated at 3 pm in front of the Planned Parenthood clinic we have in Aurora. I was so glad to see such a large group, it kept growing as the minutes went by. It was pretty cold, and as usual, I was not wearing a sweater or jacket, but it was well worth it. We prayed for the babies being killed, for their mothers and for the doctors and nurses that assist them. May God help them all. As I did this, Noni came to take the kids to decorate eggs. We did decorate some at home on Saturday, too, but Noni's were a lot more dramatic, especially the one with all those feathers! Coco and Connor found some presents from the Bunny on Sunday morning. After church, we went to Noni and Papa's to celebrate with ou

Plank Jr. High

Last Thursday, Cesar had his Jr. High open house. It's a brand new school, so everybody was sooo excited to go to this new place. The original plan was for Brian to be here and take him, or for all of us to go, but Brian, of course, was sent to the Indiana office at the last minute, so he couldn't get here on time. And that left ONLY the option of mom taking him and his friend Aaron to the open house... With the two li'l ones in tow, mind ya! I was sooo aggravated, because I felt that Cesar was soooo embarrassed to walk around with Coco and Connor, and me. I had to bring myself back to his age, to try to understand that I, too, wanted my parents to leave me alone, but not VERY alone :) I just wanted to feel like a grown up, and my parents all the time around me made me feel so much like a kid. Of course, at 11 you feel like a woman already (naturally!) In any event, I really wanted Brian to be there, to walk with me and help me with the kids in the neverending sea of noisy
