                                 My Confession

I am a jew, and every single one of myancestors was Jewish. And it dosent bother meeven a little bit when people call those beautiful lit up, bejeweled trees, Christmas trees. I dont feel threatened I dont feel discriminated against.

Thats what they are: Christmas trees.

It dosent bother me a bit when peoplesay Merry Christmas to me. I dont think they are sleighting me  or getting ready toput me in a ghetto.

In fact, I I kinda like it. It shows that we are all brothers & sisters celebrating this happy time of year. It dosent bother me at all that there is a manger scene on display at a key intersection near my beach house in Malibu. If people want a crieche its just fine with meas is the menorah a few hunderd yards away.

I dont like getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I dont think Christians liked getting pushed around for being Christians. I think people who believe in god are sick and tired of getting pushed around period. i have no idea where the concept came from that America is an explicitly atheist country. I cant find it in the Constitution and I dont like it being shoved down my throat.

Or maybr I can put it another way: where did the idea come from that we should worship celebrities and we arent allowed to worship God as we understand him? I guess thats a sign that Im getting old,too. But there are a a lot of us who are wondering where these celebrities came from and where the america we knew went to.in light of many jokes we send to one another for a laugh,this is a little different: This is not intended to be a joke; its not funny, its intended to get you thinking.

Billy Grahams daughter was interviewed on the early show and Jane Clayson asked her how could God let something like this happen ( regarding Katrina ) Anne Graham gave an extremely profound and insightful response. She said, I belive God is deeply saddened by this, just as we are, but for years weve been telling God to get out of our schools, to get out of our government and to get out of our lives. And being the gentelman  he is, I belive he has calmly backed out. How can we expect God to give us his blessing and his protection if we demand he leave us alone?

In sight of recent events terrorists attack, school shootings, ect. I think it started when Madeline Murry Oharra ( she was murdered, her body found a few years ago ) Complained she didnt want prayer in our schools, and we said ok. Then someone said you better not read the bible in school. The bible says thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbor as yourselfAnd we said ok.

Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldnt spank our children when they misbehave because thier little personalities would bewarped and we might damage thier self-esteem ( DR. Spocks son committed suicide ) we said an expert should know what he is talking about. And we said ok.

Now we are asking ourselfs why our children have no conscience, why they dont know right from wrong, and why it dosent bother them to kill strangers, thier classmates & themselfs.

Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, wwe canfigure it out. I think it has  a great deal to do with " we Reap What We Sow "

Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the worlds going to Hell Funny how we belive what the newspapers say, but   question what the Bible says. Funny how you can send jokes through email  and they spread like wildfire but when you start sending messages regarding the lord people think twice about sharing. Funny how lewd crude, vulgar and obscene articals pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion of God is suppressed in the school and workplace.

Are you laughing yet?

Funny how we can be more worried about what other people think of us then what God thinks of us.

Well I havent been around for awhile & was missing you guys real bad tonight. So I came here & watched the slide show on my page & looking at all my very dear freinds. As I was watching the pics & relised how lucky I was to have so many great freinds. So I just want to say thanks to all of you wonderful people for putting up w/me

As you guys know I do take some trips out of town & I went to Sadelia Mo. 3 times last week & I happened to notice a billboard for the winery. They were advertizing a cajun fest for July. Just thought I toss that out there.

So what have all you great people been up to??

Ok Im the first to say we need to obey road construstion speed limits. I know we need to make it as safe as we can for these guys & gals who work on our roads. I agree W?the punishments being handed out by the states if you hit & or kill a worker. However that goes both ways.

I have had on more then once at night had a mo dot worker to cross the highway in front of cars in the night. so what happens if that fool gets killed while crossing the road in the night??

Then yesterday on the way  to springfeild Il I watched several I dot workers cross the highway several times moving baracades yep you guessed it right in front of moving traffic.

So what punishement do they get if they invite getting hit??

After watching the news this morning, I got really mad. I seen there was a young man that was mad at his dad for whatever reason. I think it had something to do w/his dad asking him to leave the house because of drugs or something like that. So the boy gets mad leaves goes to a older neighbors. Steals a gun & goes back to his parents & kills his 40 something dad. Now what makes me so mad about this is. As most of you know i recently lost my wonderful mom. I miss her everyday. I just went through her birthday w/o her. Now mothers day is coming up & ill spend it w/o mom. Any of you who know me will understand my next coment. Id give my arms, legs hell Id give a lung just to have my mom back. So it just really really makes me so very mad to know that this young man killed his poor dad. and i think this is the second kid who has recently killed a parent.

When will it be enough ?? When will it stop?? I truly want to get ahold of these young men & just shake them till there teeth rattle. Why cant they figure out they have just eraced the most valauable thing in there lives??

Well last night some of us got to get together for a night of bowling. It was also for a good cause. I like doing things w/my foxfamily. But to be able to do it for a good cause is a added bonus.

Im not much of a bowler but its just fun to get out w/freinds & have a good time. tho I had fun w/all of you guys. Drew thanks for all the fun I had w/you. You are a big a hoot as that sweet wife of yours.

ok i made a post about hatefulness awhile back. I did this in hopes that some folks would sit back & see if they were being mean or hateful to others. Well I guess I shouldnt be suprised that nobody quit got the pic.

Im telling you folks you need to take a step back & think about what you are saying or doing. And say to yourself would that be rude or hurt someone??

I dont like it when people I care about are hurt for no reason other then being their loving selfs.

ok folks i just cant take it anymore. i know that we have to have our news & its everyones job at fox to report the news. But I got to tell you i cant take the pics of animals being abused anymore. Im telling you Im a animal person & a lot of times Id rather be w/animals then some of the people in the world.

My breaking point came when i was watching a thing on those poor cows in ca. I seen a poor cow walking on it knees. thats just plain wrong. I know they have to report the news but do we relly have to see those horriable pics?? I cant take  that anymore & i dont want to see it anymore & I dont want to see those poor dogs cats & whatever eles the humane socioty recuses. Im grateful they are found & are taken but I just dont want to see it.

Cant you report on it w/o showing those horriable pics??

You know i make a few blogs here & there. I try real hard to be pleasent to everyone. I do think Iv done a fairly good job at that.

I do read a lot of blogs here. I dont respond to a lot of them. But again if I do I try real hard to be pleasent to everyone. Again I think I do a fairly good job at this.

But I see that some people try to go out of thier way to be mean to some people. Now my qustion is why would anyone want to be hateful to others?? Do they get a thrill out if being hateful?? Or maybe they are just plain mean & dont know how to be nice to people.

My motto has always been treat people the way you want to be treated.

In the book of hebrews it states Be careful how you treat strangers. As some have done so & entertained angels unaware.

Now thats worth thinking about.

Peace & HUgs

Well Im having a horriable time trying to do this greiving thing. I knew it wasnt going to be east. But I didnt know it was going to be this hard.

I miss mom everyday. I want to always remember her & all the good times we had. But I just want to feel a bit better. I know mom wouldnt want me to feel this bad everyday.

I know that i function well if Im at work or out w/my wonderful bloging friends. But when Im home its so hard to want to do anything.

So Id like to ask all my bloging friends for a special christmas present. If it isnt to much trouble can yal do a bit of extra praying for me.Im sure some prayers will be of help. And I know that w/prayer & gods help this might just get better.

Hugs & Peace
