Good Morning Americans

This morning I turned on GMA.  GMA standing for Good Morning America!  Really?  The news they put out is anything but good.  Today the ticker at the bottom of the screen read that milk was going up $.60.  Here.  BUT this is what was supposed to happen.  Here.  Coffee prices are going up.  Here.  The best is fuel!  Gas prices escalate.  Here.

Let's talk about jobs...  Here is what the government says.  Here.  The reality is "In a phone call, Harvard Business School Entrepreneurship and Strategy Professor Joe Fuller called the numbers “more of the same.” While he felt the headline jobs number was “a disappointment even in the context of a decaying picture for jobs growth,” Fuller warns that”trying to read a lot into month to month data is a fools errand. There is, however, something in these numbers that’s unsettling. Even though we talk about the period from July to November being good relative to the recent past, it still wasn’t the type of job growth numbers we experience even in an average recovery.”  Here. 

So, how is Mr. Obama doing?  Here.   Poll: 71% of Obama voters, 55% Democrats 'regret' voting for his re-election.  Are you depressed yet?  So get that cup of coffee...put a little milk in it...jump in your car and drive to the gas station.  Gotta get to that job.

Thank You!

BJ and I woke up this morning to Kate!  She was "talking" in her room.  I love the little snippets.  She likes to say "bad girl" and then laugh!  Then started calling me, Mum Mum Mum.  Cracks us up.  We love going in her room to get her.  So full of joy.  Always ready for a new day!  This Saturday morning she brought her blocks to BJ to play.  This is our life.  Our children.  We would do anything for them.  All our children are gifts from God.  We never know how the road we travel will turn out.  We do the best we can to share God and love.  The most important part of life is kindness.  We teach kindness and forgiveness.  Our children practice this daily.  We are hoping they don't have the obstacles we have been dealt, but we all know they will have others. My husband BJ is my best friend.  Everything we stand for or against, we stand together.  BJ is a fantastic husband and a s...

Looly Goes to School

Looly started school!  She is going to a Special Needs Preschool to get speech therapy, occupational  therapy and physical therapy.  She was leary after the first day but once she saw her ole favorite Physical Therapist, Matt, the game was on! Matt is a young man that is married with two daughters.  He loves Kate.  He calls her turkey and she squeals with happiness.  When we first saw him after a year break, she actually kissed his cheek.  Matt has all of Kate's respect.  Matt challenges and pushes her to do better.  Sometimes there is even tears, but she will work hard for him.  By the next week he will see improvement.  It makes us all laugh at her stubborn determination to "show Matt!" This past week we were made aware through the speech therapist that they rang a bell directly behind Looly and she didn't flinch or turn to look.  So we made an appointment with a hearing specialist.  I do not believe she is 100% deaf...

Finding Peace with Charlie Kirk

It sure has been a rough time this year.  I really thought this year was going to be spectacular and finally peace among us.  How naive I still am.  Or is it the Pollyanna in me. Seeing Charlie Kirk get assassinated shook me and many others to the core.  I loved Charlie and what he stood for and yet!  I am so surprised at exactly how many people he touched.  Behind the scenes he was such a testament of who we should be.  He was genuinely GOOD!  How many times from thousands of friends did they say how he checked in on them and the encouragement he shared with them.   Now Revivals are breaking out and the younger generation is praising God in millions.  Does it make you think about yourself and how you make a difference in people’s lives?  Do you realize that your kindness and friendship is so much more powerful than you think?   When we want to mourn and hide away, we are being called to action.  Action with Praise and Glo...
