The role of Values Voters in this year’s presidential election is being dismissed beyond comprehension. We are basically being told our concerns don’t matter at all! Personally I find it deplorable and incredibly offensive. Yet, they expect us to “rally around” a candidate that has NOT EVEN WON 50% of the American Republican’s vote.
Values of […]

I just watched Tim Russert’s Meet the Press on NBC, and all I have to say is, “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore!” (and I don’t cuss). I’m so sick and tired of being LIED to…by the media…by my political party…by the so-called conservatives over the airwaves. There is […]

On the way to school this morning, I was telling my teenage son the importance of paying attention to a person’s values.

If a man is unfaithful to his wife, the mistress should beware. If he is willing to be unfaithful to his spouse, he would be willing to be unfaithful to her.
If a man is […]

I was just speaking with my husband about why I feel so passionate about supporting Mike Huckabee for president. We’ve been quarreling over how much time & energy I’ve spent “campaigning” for this man…he is not our savior, my husband says. Of course, I recognize he is not our Savior, Jesus Christ is. But there’s […]

In an article today, Huck, the Constitution and “God’s Standards”, Mike Huckabee is quoted for some closing remarks given at an event in Michigan last night. He stated,
“[Some of my opponents] do not want to change the Constitution, but I believe it’s a lot easier to change the constitution than it would be to change […]

Mike Huckabee just released a Stimulus Package that focuses on five principles to guide his economic policy-making.

Family: Focus on Middle Class Families: More Income, Better Jobs, More Secure Homeownership.
Fed: Work with the Federal Reserve for a Pro-Growth, Low Inflation Economy
Fight: Create Jobs as We Build Up Our Defenses and Build Up Our Infrastructure
Fuel: Invest in […]

I came across a very interesting resource this morning put out by the Campaign for Children & Families at www.SaveAmerica.net on each of the Republican candidates regarding their public position on “natural family”-related issues. I say it’s very interesting because it gives Mitt Romney a BIG FAT ZERO, which surprised me.
Both Mike Huckabee and Ron […]

I’ve noticed a change in flavor over the past three months on this blog. Originally my intent was to write about “all that matters to me” and I introduced six categories: faith/religion, family, friends, home, politics & work. I thought I’d be addressing mostly family-related issues with a bit of work mingled in, since I’m […]

I finally did it… I moved my 2-1/2 year old out of our bedroom and into his recently-turned-4 year old sister’s room. It’s only temporary though. When we finish remodeling a bedroom for our 12 year old, and he moves out of his current room, then the two younger ones can have their own rooms. […]

We’ve been attending Fluvanna Baptist Church for over six months now and we love it. I’ve grown up visiting this church since this is where my aunt & uncle have been attending for almost 2 decades, so there’s more history here than just the past six months. In fact, my cousin is buried here. So […]
