2010

In December 2006 my husband and I had a bad feeling. So bad we cancled Christmas plans with friends. I feared an attack on the churches on Christmas or something dreadful on New Years Eve. Maybe we were just off by a few years.

The attempted bombing on Christmas day shows how incredibly vulnerable we still are. It's bad enough our fellow Americans refuse to see it, but our own government is so busy with their agenda they refuse to recognize it as well! I was so worried there wouldn't be a Christmas this year as Americans have come to know it; I'm glad to see we got one. I don't know if there will be next year. Between the government trying to take over our lives with the health care bill (what a lovely present) to the realization there will be more attempts on America and they are getting closer everyday, I have no idea what to expect in the coming year. I just hope those of us that are Awake are well prepared enough to face it.

You Have No Power Over Me

I watched this movie while growing up. When I was a kid I never could understand what it meant when Sarah says,"You have no power over me." After breaking away from an emotionally abusive family, I understand it's meaning.

And now I watch the goverment offering the people everything. I pray that they will wake up and discover this same understanding.

For the first time in my life this summer I felt a need to go to church. Growing up I was not allowed this luxury. It would have undermined my mother's control over our family. I have been attending the required classes to be baptised and join a local Catholic parish. Oh, but there's a snag. They want a signed affidavit from someone who has known me since I was 16. The same requirement for my husband so we can convalidate our marraige at church. As far as I understand with out this I am not allowed to be baptised. I barely managed to find someone to sign mine, with great fear that my abusive family would think they have a right to my life again. My husband can not even get an answer from his own sister. No one from our childhood talks to us. So now the church is demanding a piece of paper that we can not produce. It is not even church law! I am livid. They are doing this to another couple in class as well. And they are being absolute jerks about it at CHRISTMAS! What the Heck?!

I will not be treated like this. I do not need a piece of paper for God's approval. I will not allow my family to be treated like this. This is abusive.

So to my local priest:
YOU HAVE NO POWER OVER ME!

Just because I love this scene so much, and it is the holiday season!

Obvisiously a spoof. But scary because it's probably true!

Jealous much?

Because mocking her is the mature option?

Stupid in America

I love John Stossel's reports. He gets to the heart of the matter. In this case, Public Schools!

Why go to college?

This is completely un-American. I am so sick of a few making rules for the many. They can not keep trampling on people like this! One of these days people will get fed up and fight back. But the scary thing is it will be the other sides crazies that fire the first shot.
