David Letterman and Election 08

2008-10-18T12:03:00.001-04:00

Senator John McCain appeared on the David Letterman show this past Thursday night (October 16) to stand good on an invitation he had previously canceled. While being interviewed, Letterman asked McCain if she was his first choice for the vice presidency. This was a legitimate question. However, Letterman continued to press him on Palin's qualifications, after the question was answered. Letterman even downplayed Obama’s link to convicted terrorist and unrepentant anti-American, Bill Ayers. Moreover, Letterman seemed frustrated that Obam’s tied with someone such as Ayers even came up during the campaign. How ridiculous! I believe what’s fair is fair and Letterman should drill Obama on issues as well. We know there are plenty of them that could be addressed. Let OUR voice be heard all the way to New York. Here’s how... The producer for Late Show with David Letterman is Chris Moloney. Join with me in sending Mr. Moloney an e-mail expressing your concern and disagreement with how the talk-show host handled the interview and request that Obama be on the show to also answer some questions…far more serious ones. Fell free to add some questions of your own. His e-mail address is:Chris Moloneycjmoloney@cbs.com
With that said, please also allow me to remind you to be kind and professional in your e-mail. I have dealt with Chris (Moloney) in the past and have found him to be very helpful, kind and professional. It’s okay to speak up and to speak out…as long as we make sure we do it with the right attitude and spirit. We can disagree without being disagreeable.

We’re enjoying our new house out here in the country. It’s much different from where we lived in the city. Here, we don’t often hear the many sounds that come with city life. Being from Chicago, I love it out here in the quiet. But having been raised in city live, there are some things I’m not quite familiar with and often they catch me offguard. One day last week was no exeption.
It was a very quiet evening and I was ready to wind down from the day’s activities. I was ready to turn in for the night, but first decided to first spend time outside under God’s beautiful creation…the many stars in the sky and the view of the large mountain seen from our backyard. Afetr a time of meditation, I went inside and then realized that I hadn’t put food outside for our cats. I had already taken my glasses off, but I didn’t think it would be that big of an ordeal. Afeter all, I was merely going to the cabenet for the cat food and then just steps away from the door. When I turned around to go back into the house, I noticed that the door was still closing. Then I noticed a fluffy figgue out in the distance. I panicked with worry as I ran to get our beloved Fi-fi back inside. I was in shock that she went out. She had never done that before. Afetr all, our pampered Persian would not be able to handle the rough outside life. So, as I raced behind this fast little creature, I was just inches away and about to grab her when she stopped and looked directly at me. It was NOT our beloved pet. It was a possum! Oh my! I was in even more shock!
Later, I related this humorous moment to our spiritual walk. Often, certain problems and situations come in our lives and if we’re not careful, we just react to it without our spiritual glasses – God’s word. In Psalm 119:105 it says “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path” (NIV).
Before you go chasing after something make sure you give it some thought and seek HIS word and will.

McCain / Palin 08

It is utterly frustrating to even entertain the thought that there are actually people walking around out there considering voting for Obama. A guy that literally came from nowhere, seems to not be able to stand the sight of the American flag, been in the senate approximately 143 days, wants to cut our military, and befriends terrorists. We should be running from this guy, but instead some of you want to make him president of the United States of America!

Vote McCain!

2008-09-06T22:58:00.000-04:00

If you watched Sara Palin's speech the other night at the GOP Convention ... Who would have thought that this Godly Lady would come out of nowhere and shift the whole direction of this election. It's unbelievable! I have a attached a 15 minute video clip of Sara speaking at a church service.

4th of July

Good Morning!

Wow! It has certainly been while since writing my last blog. I trust all is well with you and your family.

God is good...ALL the time! As you're out and about today with family and friends, celebrating our freeom as a country, I want to enourage you to use this time also as an opportunity to share with people about the freedom one can have in Jesus. John 8:36 says:
Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.
In scripture, whenever we come across the word "Therefore", we need to stop and ask "What is that word there for? When Jesus used that word, you can be assured He was about to make a very important point.
Pray and then look for ways to share about Jesus today. Let people know that they can be free today.

Well, Isabella's leg is back in a cast again. She is very active and keeps jumping off swings, goes on the trampoline at a friend's house, etc, etc. We keep an eye on her when she's home, but when she's not...
Today, she chose purple. Today was 95 degrees! No rain. We need rain! Tomorrow is her last day of school...She starts summer camp this Monday.

GROUND TROOP

2008-05-26T19:28:00.000-04:00

Gooooooooooood Morning!

If you happen to have today off due to the holiday, I hope you spend time with your friends and family as you reflect on the meaning of this day.

I wanted to tell you about a brand new, exciting ministry taking place here in the Mount Airy (NC) area. It's a street drama ministry called GROUND TROOP. We will be ministering on the street as well as in the city parks. You will also see us at Moby's Coffee. There has never been a street drama ministry in this city, and we are looking forward to ministering to folks and telling them about Jesus in a unique way. So, if you find yourself in "Mayberry" this summer, and come across people clucking like chickens, sounding like cars or doing a mime; have no fear. It's just us...GROUND TROOP. Please keep the team in your prayers, and I, as I lead in this ministry. The Lord has already opened many doors, and it's exciting!

Last week, I recorded an interview with Christian Radio Station WBFJ. The interview will air sometime in June and when I find out exactly when, I'll make sure I post it on this blog.

Again, please keep us in your prayers. In fact, if you will be praying for us, please post a "comment" on here to let us know. We NEED your prayers. We want to see lives touched and changed for JESUS and we know that the enemy does not want to see this happen. Thank you in advance for your CONTINUED prayers.

Block Party

2008-05-25T19:41:00.000-04:00

Hi Everyone!

I trust you all had a great day in Jesus and are ready to face a new week. Some of you have tomorrow off, and I hope you choose to spend it with your family and friends. Let's make sure we spend time to reflect upon it's meaning.

We had a great day yesterday. Our church went into a neighborhood and hosted a bock prty. We had a lot of food and music and gave away bikes and games to the children. The day was also filled with music, mimes, skits and puppets. There was also a clown and someone who did balloon sculptures. Everyone had a fantastic time as we reached out in Jesus' name. Several people from the neighborhood came to church today and one that I know of, asked Jesus into his heart and life. He sat next to me, and I made the opportunity to talk with him after service and we were able to get him his own Bible. Please keep this person in your prayers.

Our family all got involved in the block party. I did 2 mimes and a skit, Lisa was in a skit, Amanda worked the puppets and Isabella was in a mime with me and the children. We were blessed to be part of it.

Did you share about Jesus this week? I'd love to hear about it. You can tell us by posting a comment for all to see.

What Isabella has been up to

2008-05-22T13:26:00.002-04:00

Last week, Isabella had her "Gold Medal Day" at gymnastics. I don't know how those kids do that stuff! If I tried that, I'd break every bone in my body! She did an awesome job. She's looking forward to her summer as well...with summer camp and swimming. This will be her 3rd season being on the swim team.

Update on Amanda's job

2008-05-22T13:23:00.003-04:00

Amanda's enjoying her new job at Burger King. They have been training her, so she hasn't had a lot of hours yet. I think she worked 3 times and about 3 or 4 hours each. She's enjoying the veggie burgers most.

Amanda's big day, part 2

2008-05-15T20:44:00.000-04:00

She got the job!! She starts on Monday and is very excited. We're happy for her.

Amanda's big day

2008-05-15T17:18:00.000-04:00

Our daughter Amanda had her first job interview today at a Burger King. Actually, we should be hearing from her at any time now.

God answers prayer

2008-05-13T20:32:00.000-04:00

As some of you may know, a while back Lisa had a scan done and the doctors found sores on her lungs. They were concerned as to what these could be, so another scan was ordered for yesterday. Well, we've been praying and those sores are GONE! Praise the Lord! I wanted to share that as many of you were also praying. Thank you!

A MUST see

2008-05-11T22:53:00.000-04:00

This touched my heart, and I wanted to share it with you. Be sure to turn up your speakers.
