Gun Control? Is That What We Are Calling It?

Today I read the article below.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/05/13/critics-deride-designed-weapons-terrorists-hands/

I know about HB45 (I may be wrong on the numbers, or letters, please don't hold me to it), which is the bill that will keep those of us who own guns from owning them unless we get a background check, fingerprinted, photographed, register the guns we own, EVERY gun, and require you to give your first born child. Okay, THIS bill is just ridiculous. I won't even go there.

However, the article above that I read today made me so.....MAD.....that I just didn't know what to do but PRAY. According to this article, last month a report was issued saying that if this bill in the article passes, "Critics say the names of suspected terrorists could be drawn from existing government watch lists that cover such broad categories as animal rights extremists, Christian identity extremists, black separatists, anti-abortion extremists, anti-immigration extremists and anti-technology extremists."

It also says that ,

"The American Legion, the largest veterans group in the country, harshly criticized DHS officials last month after they reported that veterans would be likely recruits for right wing groups looking for "combat skills and experience."

So this would put ALL YOU VETERANS on a terrorist watch list. It would put most everybody I know on a watch list. And the only way to get off? Is to go to federal court and fight it. Which, of course, is so affordable, and we KNOW the government won't drag THAT out.

America, watch out. Christians, pray. Get on your knees before our Lord and pray. This is the beginning of a battle that isn't going to end. I am not saying it's the end of the world. What I AM saying is that eventually, if we as citizens don't start DOING something, then this stuff will be voted in, and once they take our guns, they can take anything else.


Today is Sunday. I heard an amazing message preached today by a man from MUD Ministries. Yes I know. Alabama, mud, etc. MUD stands for Making U Disciples. His website is at www.mudministries.com . He has 5 gorgeous children, a gorgeous wife, and one kid on the way. He travels all over evangelizing, teaching, equipping Christians with the tools they need to evangelize, and to tell the story. He will go to churches big, little, it doesn't matter. He also works in Nicaragua as well. His name is Eric Hixon. Pray for his ministry. His family, and the work that God has given him. Okay. I am done for now. Please pray for
my family, we have certain needs I won't go into, and certain people that need God. He knows what they are. Please feel free to email me at any time.

Don't Ignore The Pain of Infertility

This week is National Infertility Awareness Week and the fine people at RESOLVE have challenged Bloggers to write a blog post with the theme of “Don’t Ignore Infertility”. In your life, in the lives of your family and friends, don’t ignore infertility. The words that so make so many of our hearts drop to our feet are: “Just relax, it will happen” and “Just trust God’s will”.  These (and others) are phrases that I can’t stand. They are meant to be helping words. Kind words. Words to uplift and give encouragement. And yet as quick as they are spoken, they cut to the quick and cause resentment, anger and bitterness. Some people experience infertility and never have biological children. Others have children and experience infertility after that, called secondary infertility . Either way, it hurts. There is no cure, and the best that we can hope for is to find some other (albeit very costly) way to get pregnant or have that child we dream of. I got married last week to a wonderf...

Anxiety, Caregiving, Separation from Kids and other anxiety and depression related things

 Today was a super hard day.  Yesterday I was supposed to leave with The Man to go to California for a vacation. Something everyone, including Momma said I needed. Well, American Airlines canceled the flight due to the weather in DFW.  I took a 1/4 of my Xanax (which I've never taken) to sleep last night and woke up feeling emotionally, physically and mentally unstable in an EXTREME way. Add to that when I'm away from The Boy from more than a few days it really hits my depression in a way that nothing else, even the stuff with my Momma does.  Today was taxing. It was hard to keep my head on straight and I felt like I was going crazy. I felt as if I couldn't control anything and needed to be hospitalized. Not because I'm suicidal or even depressed. But because my level of stress and anxiety is so beyond the norm that I felt like I just needed to be placed somewhere safe without anything to say, do, or experience. Except The Boy.  The Man is amazed by my level of ...

Cancer Treatment Centers of America and Mom

Well,  I'm laying in the bed next to my mom as she snores (yes you do, mom). Here are photos from earlier.  She's extremely weak and has a huge appetite but can't eat more than a bite or two at a time.  It's so surreal to have this force in my life who has shaped me; this strong woman who has battled cancer and won four times be laying in this hotel room and weighing less than 90 pounds.  In my head she is strong, decisive,  larger than life.  She taught me to always laugh,  even in the bad situations- especially at the bad; to have faith in God, speak life and to always carry some type of weapon.  Of course I'll be updating every day because I have to write it out somewhere.  Watching both of your parents rapidly deteriorate at the same time is... indescribably difficult.  It comes with anxiety,  frustration,  gratefulness, faith,  anger and a whole heap of patience that waxes and wanes. Tomorrow i...
