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.

Still ALIVE...

... but swamped with fabrics and paint. It's kind of funny, I ordered some fabric online from Joann, and then when it arrived, I really didn't like it. See, I'm making new curtains for the back door (it's one of those sliding doors and we used to have blinds there), new pillow covers (because we got new slipcovers for the couches) and I'm re-upholstering the dinning room chairs. And so, I ordered different fabrics that I thought would match. Very orangy-yellowish, those are the colors we chose for staging the house. Anyways, when I saw the fabric, I was very tempted to return it, but instead, I started the first chair today... And I think it looks AWESOME!!! I just finished cutting all the fabric for the back of the chairs, tomorrow I'll be busy sewing. Can't wait to see the first one finished. I'm actually getting EXCITED! Bought a couple of lamp shades, too, and I'm almost done painting the tables black (coffee and end tables). Of course, the kids ...

Happy birthday, USA!!!

We will be having a totally lazy 4 th of July. Brian just came back from his trip last night, and I think he must be needing a lot of rest. He's loving his new job, but since he really is very good at "fixing" accounts, every time he fixes one and he's starting to enjoy the fruits of his work, another one gets "broken", so he has to go in and fix that one as well. It's nice that he gets such a good reputation in his industry, and it's great that he gets to know so many new people, because it's always good to have such a network of contacts, but it's really exhausting. Anyways, a few days ago I went to buy a watermelon, because we all are fans (big time!). We come home, our mouths watering, and we open it to this... WHAT??? Cesar was brave enough to try it, but I just cannot bring myself to eat some yellow watermelon flesh. It does taste the same, but I just couldn't have more than a bite or two. I'll have to give it a try again toda...

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...
