Why is it that prayer and the name of God and/or Jesus come under such scrutiny for this year's inauguration? Wasn't this country founded on Christian principles and morals? Doesn't all of our money say, "In God We Trust"? I realize that silly people have tried to have that changed, and weren't successful, but I was just astounded the other day when I heard that some atheist in California had filed an appeal to have prayer removed from the swearing in of our new President when he takes his oath of office this week. Really? What??? I just don't get it. I also don't understand how people can say they are atheist. I mean, take a look around. Can a person seriously think that everything just appeared? That we evolved from fish or monkeys or whatever?? And what about the miracle of children? The beautiful clouds in the sky, the birds that sing, whatever it is that keeps the oceans from flooding the lands...all miracles of God. God's creation. Each of us is a creation of His, just as each and everything in and on this earth is as well as the earth and all things surrounding it as well! How can people not get that? I just don't understand. But if you want to say you don't believe, then that's your right, I suppose, we do have freedom of religion, (and speech) so therefore, let us continue to freely exercise our right as CHRISTIANS to be free from the atheist ways trying to tell us that we can't pray, that we can't use the name of God or Jesus in a public speech. We don't like what you say but we can't stop you, so why do you think you should be able to stop our prayers and to our sharing the Gospel??
Praise the Lord that a judge overruled that filing from that atheist to have the prayer removed. I can't imagine what things would be like if that had been allowed. I don't mean just for the inauguration, but for America in general. We need to stand up for our rights, our freedom, for our beliefs. God is REAL, He is Mighty!!
Pray for our country and those who haven't come around. Pray for our leaders, our safety. May God continue to bless us and the USA!

Honest Scrap
So, my friend, Kerri Pearson tagged me in this game called Honest Scrap. You have to tell 10 radom truthful things about yourself and then tag 7 more people do to it too. I'll have to tag most of mine in email since I have only 3 people that I know who blog, and Kerri is one of them! So here goes:
1. I love to cook! Cooking is a great pasttime and has a wonderful reward. Food Network is my favorite channel and I would love to meet Paula Deen and Rachel Ray!
2. I have always wanted to be a teacher. Probably teaching at church and hopefully one day being a trainer for my job is as close as I'll get to classroom training, but Junior English has always been my dream!
3. I had the most awesome job in high school working in an accounting office. Learned a lot about finance, business and life.
4. I have only traveled out of Texas 3 times in my life and have only flown once, although I'd do it again any time.
5. I have always wanted to go to New York at Thanksiving and although I'm NOT a fan of being cold, would love to spend Thanksgiving morning at the Macy's Thanksgiving day parade!
6. In addition to cooking, I love to eat! And I mean just about anything, although not a fan of beef, but pretty much anything else!
7. I don't drink coffee, but I'm addicted to Dr. Pepper. My mother says I was addicted before I was born! LOL
8. I love to be happy and smile. I don't like being grump and I don't like not smiling. I think there is a lack of joy and smiles in the world today and I'm always astonished at the number of people -- who know me well or hardly at all -- notice that I try to always smile and am most of the time genuinely happy.
9. I have no biological brothers or sisters, but I have a sister at heart that means the world to me and 'my person' is as close to a 2nd sister as I could get and I'm very blessed to have them as well as my other great friends. God has Blessed me with an abundance of true friends.
10. I miss all of my grandparents tremendously and I attribute my love for cooking and sewing to both of my grandmothers. I have many fond memories of cooking and sewing with them as well as attending church and what a great influence they have been on my life and I hope to inspire my family and friends and everyone, really, the way they inspired me.
Email Buddies...look out, I"m about to tag you...and I also tag my blog friends, Connie and Meghan.
