On Friday last week, the US House of Representatives held their last session before Speaker Nancy Pelosi broke for a 5-week summer break without allowing an up or down vote on our Energy Crisis. At that time several Republican House Members revolted. They led a “call” to the Speaker to have the House return to [...]

This fall I’m excited to be homeschooling my two preschoolers. A few months ago I met with some homeschooling parents from my church and decided to dive in myself. Several years ago I had considered homeschooling our oldest when we moved from Oklahoma, but shortly after we closed on our new house I discovered I [...]

Someone complained to the ACLU when a man, Hashmel Turner (not shown), a City Council member, led the opening prayers of their the City Council meetings in Fredericksburg, VA and invoked the name of Jesus Christ. ACLU threatened to sue the city if this didn’t stop. So, the city said they would adopt a non-denominational [...]

I specifically wanted to check out the National Archives building on Constitution Avenue in DC this past weekend, more specifically the original Charters of Freedom documents. We were one of the last visitors on Saturday to view the U.S. Constitution housed in the Rotunda, and it was a remarkable experience. Unlike the scene depicted in [...]

My husband and I had the distinct pleasure of traveling to our nation’s capitol for the first time as a couple this weekend. We left our children for a few days with friends and family and caught a bus ride to Union Station in Washington DC. After finding our way through the city’s Metro system, [...]

Local Republicans’ July 4th Float Produces Fresh Fodder for Democrats’ John Deere. In this year’s Annual 4th of July Parade through downtown Scottsville, VA, local Democrats showcased a wagon full of Tom Perriello supporters hitched to the back of a John Deere tractor. Not too far behind were Republicans Congressman Virgil Goode and Delegate Rob [...]

I am outraged over the California Supreme Court recent decisions to not only override the will of the people concerning the traditional meaning of marriage, but also despite the fact that an amendment to the state’s constitution will be on the November ballot to be voted upon by the whole state, they refuse to stay [...]

My personal blog here has gotten a bit heavy on the political side lately, and I’m afraid folks who seek me out on the internet might think that’s all I’m about. While public policy has certainly peaked my interest, it’s certainly not my sole defining issue. So in an attempt to balance things out, I have decided to move all my political blogging to a brand new site, Grassroot Americans.

I just watched some video footage of the Mayor of San Francisco, CA claiming homosexual marriage is inevitable…that the door is wide open now. Oh, it sickens me that this door was opened at all. Last week I signed a petition requesting a stay on the California Court decision until the Voters of California have [...]

“The Wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities — his [...]
