A new day....
SO today is school, homework, piano prep for Mom, some light housekeeping, 4-H meeting tonight and an FRG meeting (prob hubby since I don't want to spend the gas on an extra trip to post).
How blessed is the Nation whose God is the Lord....
I worry about this. As we are in another election year it has just been a burden on my heart that we who claim the name of Christ MUST pray this year and not just before elections but NOW! For the candidates and which two we will vote between (hmmm slim pickins it would appear at present.... ) and for our nation to return to the Lord!
Those who say it doesn't matter that Obama has a Muslim background obviously don't know much about Islam, not that I'm an expert but I do know this -- there are many millions who wish to see the US gone, see us as a threat to Islam because of our Christian heritage and would gladly go to the death both literally and figuratively to see that happen! We need to stand firm as never before, now when so many are wishy washy especially!
And did you see the story about stores in NY accepting the Euro?! HELLLLOOOO?! We are not part of Europe people and we need to maintain our national soverginty this is only going to make the dollar weaker and they would certainly never accept dollars instead of Euros! (I've lived in Europe so yes I do know that to be a fact!) When did we lose our intestinal fortitude and become so easily swayed?!!!
Nations have long looked to the US as an example beccause of our strength, our willingness to stand by our convictions rather than our acquiesence!!
Oh that we would once again stand firm!

We will dance.....
On streets that are golden....
We did a worship and praise dance to this song at Fall Focus which also incorporated sign language. It was amazing and such a blessing to the ladies! Well the Fort Leavenworth ladies asked us to come up on the 29th and perform but most of our ladies couldn't so we went over last Thurs and taught them and then myself and one other lady helped actually perform on Tuesday. It was a lot fo fun and such a blessing again both to the ladies in the performance and those watching!
We also stayed with my friend Kristin and her kiddos so while we got stranded by winter weather an extra day it was ok and fun for the kids and us to catch up.

Miss. America
Anybody else disappointed with the show last night? It used to be something we watched every year and enjoyed the long show of talent, questions, etc ---- last night seemed more rushed and contrived. The girls didn't really get to talk at all, the talent was rushed and they didn't do the final three. I understand then trying to make it a bit more modern and we've enjoyed watching the reality show. HOWEVER, they didn't even listen to the voters who put Miss Utah through and put her into at least the 2nd round of elimination - let her talk, or something.
I think if they were to combine the old pagent format with the new "look" and talent then it would be great. But was dissapointed with this year.
