The Alarming Case of the Lawn Sign Bandits

So we had two glorious McCain-Palin signs gracing our rather large lawn....and our neighbors down the street had littered their tiny yard with signs for every democrat in the state....

One day our two signs were down to one....where had the other wandered off to? We shall never know.

A few days later, the neighboring Obama sign mysteriously went to join our delinquent. 

I occasionally wondered who these sign ninjas were....and what could be their nefarious plans for the signs .....

Soon enough, the neighbors had a shiny new sign...and with a pang of lonliness of our remaining sign, I wondered if I should replace the runaway.....I decided it could stand alone for the short election countdown.

Then last night as I drove home, I didn't see anyone's names reflect my headlights..."Where have they run off to now?" I wondered......I drove by again...Sure enough, the second sign had run off! "Someone must have mistaken tonight for Halloween", I reasoned. Slowly, creeping through our yard, thinking maybe I just missed it, I whispered...."McCain! Palin! Where are you?" No answer.

I pouted and ate some soup.

Tonight, as I slowly drove home from work, past idling cars dropping off Tinkerbells, dead cheerleaders, and small policemen, I happened to look over and notice that the Obama replacement had been taken as well.

I laughed out loud, came home, and ate more soup.

My Favorite Crack Baby

I just finished scrapbooking these pictures of one of my favorite children, Tirzah...

I was her nanny for only six months, but I fell in love! Probably the naughtiest child I ever met, even her pouts could melt my heart! And she could definitely scream and cry at whim....but that smile.... 

She loved to dance, and if I needed her to cal

m down or stay out of trouble, I could put on some nice music and she would be a ballerina for hours if I let her! Thes pictures were taken right before naptime one day...(she was stalling for time :-D ) 

One day I stopped her in a dancing frenzy and said "do you know what God thinks of your dancing? He LOVES to watch you dance! You are so beautiful!" And once again, that smile.......

The reason I am compelled to blog about her is the arguments I have heard from pro-abortionists lately: "What

 of the crack babies? It only takes a moment, and they are free from a life of abuse! Of misery! Oh, the Utopia!"

What of these crack babies? Would it have been merciful to shove a pair of scissors in Tirzah's spinal cord to save her from her life, prone to disobedience and defiance; save her from the Fetal Alchohol syndrome inflicted by her careless, prostitute mother? Or for those not fond of partial-birth abortion, what of early-term? Perhaps we should have ripped out those ballet arms from their sockets before they reached an inch in length? Smashed her skull piece by piece to avoid any pain to her mother? Instead Tirzah went to one of the thousands of American couples on adoption waiting lists; parents who pour their love into her, dressing, feeding, loving, adoring, nurturing her with the patience to train her out of natural foolishness! Can you look at this child and say "Yes, there is no place for such children! We only need perfect children in America!"??

I know their are children who see my blog, so I will save their eyes and leave you with this link:

The so called "merciful" way to deal with children like Tirzah:

The Mother Year of 1985

As my birthday approaches this week, I thought a tribute to 1985 was in order...

Ah, and what a fabulous year it was!

We'll begin with the muse-worthy Cyndi Lauper: I have seriously been told I look like this woman!

Girls Just Want to Have Fun...stellar video

Here is the link since they have so kindly disabled embedding for us....

Live Aid:

Ah, Bono, ROCK that mullet!

The classic of classic 80's Christmas songs!

I'm not sure why they thought we needed subtitles?

Myself being a Reagan Child....

THIS is what the uber modern, obese children are lacking!

Have I mentioned how much I love this year????? I like to think my birth inspired these events...:-P

Given Enough Reasons.....

I'm confused by all the Obamans out there. This post says it quite well:

I just believe they’re mis-informed. I wish people could give me at least five valid reasons that they’re voting for [Obama] other than

 “He’s going to bring change.” Because “change” can mean a lot of different things, and unfortunately in Obama’s case... all the wrong things. His domestic and

 foreign policy are typical liberal fare. But somehow he has this amazing ability to make you think he agrees with you. 

I'm also confused by my friends who think McCain and Obama are devil twins. He lists these facts, laying those qualms to rest:

Experience - You’ll hear the slanted media downplay the importance of experience. But the truth is that in America we’ve always valued experience. Why? Because it leads to more informed decision making. John McCain has been in Congress for 26 years to Obama's 4 years. Obama has sided with Democrats his entire congressional career. McCain has fought AGAINST republicans when he needed to, and is disliked by many in his own party because of it. He's not a typical old Washington conformist like say... Joe Biden. He's a politican that's actually accomplished something. Experience is valuable, especially at such a crucial time in our nation.

Ending the War - McCain is the only candidate that can bring a responsible end to the War in Iraq. Unlike Obama, he actually understands the intricacies of modern combat and how it effects the world. He'll work with the Pentagon to devise a phased withdrwal but not at the expense of

 loosing everything we've fought for. Obama just wants to cut our losses and bring an immediate end to this war. That's unrealistic and could be potentially devastating for the nation of Iraq.

Life- John McCain has vigorously fought to uphold the sanctity of life. Obama on the other hand completely show's himself for what he really is in regards to this issue. He's voted against the "Born Alive Protection Act"; a bill that among other things, would protect infants that were born during failed abortions. There are documented stories of these babies being left in soiled linen closets to die. Ted Kennedy, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, and John Kerry all voted FOR the Born Alive Protection act. Obama was the ONLY one that voted against it. This is extreme people. It's simple: Obama is Pro-Abortion. McCain is Pro-Life.

The Economy- Obama is all about wealth re-distribution. It’s classic socialism. Penalize the rich and give it to everyone else. That idea works AGAINST capitalism (the economic principle that’s made our nation the wealthiest in the world). John McCain is about stabilizing our economy by keeping keeping Wall Street accountable and bringing reasonable government regulation so that financial power isn’t abused. He has practical ways for giving money BACK to the people. He wants to double the tax

 credit for parents from $3500 to $7000. McCain understands that people are struggling and wants to help... but he’ll do it in a way that doesn’t compromise the free market.

This election is about more than the classic evangelical issues. There are so many things at stake here. The McCain/Palin ticket certainly isn’t perfect, but I have no doubt that they are the best people to be in the White House. Please prayerfully consider your vote, and pray for our nation to come back to God.
