Why haven't more of you spoken out in answer to my question? If you don't know an answer, say so. Are you afraid to speak out? You shouldn't be at all. I'm not looking at names on the answers, I am looking for honest, serious answers. Here is the question again:
WHY, IN A SITUATION OF SIN IN THE CHURCH, DO CHURCHES FAIL TO ACT AS GOD AND THE BIBLE DIRECTS US TO?
I am looking for some honest, serious answers here. Let me hear from ya.

Saturday Night
Here it is, another Saturday night. This one is the second one here in July. Gosh this summer is sure flying by fast!!
Let's see, a brief summary of politics this week. Obama continues to sell our country down the river, agreeing to cut back ships, planes, subs, oh my!! What an idiot! What's he think we are going to fight with when the time comes, and the time is coming!
The Democrats in Congress want to appoint yet another Czar, this on for health care! Huh?? Has anyone actually looked up the definition of the word Czar? Here is it:
Czar - (1)an emperor: title of any of the former emperors of Russia and, at various times, the sovereigns of other Slavic nations(2) any person having great or unlimited power; autocrat*
and since some of you will wonder:
Autocrat - (1) a ruler with absolute power; dictatorship; despotism (2) anyone having unlimited power over others (3) any domineering, self-willed person.*
Do you guys actually want this kind of power over you and yours? We already have it in a number of 'czars' (not sure of the count, but it's getting up there in numbers) in a variety of things. We have already allowed ourselves to be put under this kind of domination in other areas of our lives. When will it stop? When will we, as Americans, have the guts to stand up and say "ENOUGH"!!!
Wake-Up America!
Okay, enough with the politics for tonight. Let's move on to other things..hmm...where to begin.
I turned 40 years old on June 27th!! Had a party with very good turn out and much, much fun!! I don't really feel any older, body wise, which is good. My cake was absolutely fabulous. It was horses racing (40 being chased by 30) with the fence and everything! It said something to the effect of 'Meg's 40.....And She's Off'! Off to the races! Off to a new life. Off to a new beginning. It was a great day all the way around!
The bummer thing is that I have been battling a terrible asthmatic cough for almost a month now. There was a couple of weeks where I coughed, hard, every evening for about 4hrs or more. That has settled down some, although last Sunday night, I was up all night coughing and pulled some muscles on my left side (shoulder, neck, chest). Ribs are mighty sore too. See doc again this week, hopefully we can figure something further out about this. My cough has reared its ugly head again tonight.
Finally got my application into the college here in town! Whew! I am not planning to start there till spring of next year (Jan 2010). They are on semesters, so this won't be at such a break-neck speed, thank goodness! I am looking forward to getting back to it and getting it (the degree) done!
Nephews are growing like weeds! Both are going to be tall, but I think the younger one will be taller than the older one! It is interesting to watch them learn and grow! Think we may hit the circus next month, which would be awesome!
Well, I guess I had better go for now. Tried to just briefly update about this and that. As usual, heavier on the politics than anything else, but it's needed right now.
Ya'll stay aware and get active about your country!!! Be safe, as always. Now to try to find a song....hmm.
Ok, in honor of where I currently live, here is:

Words for Thought
"If, from the more wretched parts of the old world, we look at those which are in an advanced stage of improvement, we still find the greedy hand of government thrusting itself into every corner and crevice of industry, and grasping the spoil of the multitude. Invention is continually exercised, to furnish new pretenses for revenues and taxation. It watches prosperity as its prey and permits none to escape with tribute."
-Thomas Paine
1791 from "Rights of Man"
Mr. Paine was a smart man, wasn't he? What he wrote 218 years ago still applies today. I don't think much more needs to be said.
Call your US Representative and beg them to vote no on today's "Climate" or "Cap and Trade" Bill. It is vital! This government is already into "every corner and crevice" of our industry and our lives!! You can find your representatives on www.house.gov.
God Bless America!

CAP and TRADE
I sincerely urge all members of the US House of Representatives to vote NO tomorrow on the 'Cap and Trade' Bill. This is also known as an energy/climate bill. I also urge all of you to contact your Representative and urge them to vote NO on this bill.
If this passes it will not only cost us millions of dollars, but cost thousands and thousands of jobs! This obviously would further aggravate our economic situation. We are already in serious trouble on the economic front and this bill will not help!
Using Obama's own words when he was a candidate last year for President, paraphrasing the first part: passing a cap and trade bill would cause our utility bills to "skyrocket"! HELLO??!! How fast can this man flip-flop?? My goodness!
So, get on your telephones or computers today and tonight, contact your Representative(s), and urge them to vote NO. Tell them to not take anymore of our country's future or our kids/grandkids future, by allowing this bill to pass!

D-DAY 1944
Today is D-Day. It was on this day, 65 years ago, that Allied troops landed on the shores of Normandy, France to begin the liberation of Europe from Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. People in Europe and America will be remembering throughout the weekend, the sacrifices made by those who fought and lived, and those who fought and died.
This landing and subsequent battle, was one of the worst of any war, I think. There were boys who did not even make it off their landing crafts, boys who drowned, boys who were killed and floated in the water, in and out with the tides, or on the bloody beach. That did not stop them however, they had a unified mission to fulfill and didn't stop until it was fulfilled and the Nazis had been defeated.
I want to salute all the boys of the United States, France, England and Canada who fought that day and and those who fought forward from that day. There are huge cemeteries in Normandy, just full of rows and rows of white Crosses and Stars of Davids. Thousands of them. God Bless those boys and their families.
My Uncle Phil was not apart of the European War in WWII, but he was with the United States Marines in the Pacific. He fought on the islands with names like Saipan, Iwo Jima, Tarawa Atoll etc. I was able to hear some of his war stories several times over the years till he died. He fought bravely and missed his buddies that didn't come back with him after the War.
The Pacific War was very different from the European, but the main thing is this: That no matter where you fought during that War, it was for The Cause: Freedom, and each of you fought heroically and bravely.
We thank you for all you have done for our country and for the cause of freedom. I will never forget you.
God Bless America!
