What if?

Where I work, there is always a TV on. If it weren't, I wouldn't watch it. I am daily thankful that we don't have it at home. Most of the time, the noise coming from that socially-engineered direction is completely foolish and often meaningless. Various false 'goddesses of culture' with their collectivistic talk shows harp about their opinions as if their opinions were the only ones that mattered. Meaningless and fanatical game shows and adulterous soap operas usually follow. Other noise describes renovations of such critical locations as the back porch that cost more than the average American makes in 10 years or feature a 3 million dollar, diamond encrusted vent-hood for the stove (coming to your local superstore soon!). Even the news isn't worth listening to, with its focus on our limited options as we consider our vote for the next President. The powers that be have determined that for the first time in our nation's history that I am aware of neither of the candidates is a Christian. One is the world's most influential socialistic, rock star, secretly-Muslim, gay activist. The other is a committed cult member who is about as conservative as a strip club. Both are scary for our country's future. (BTW, there are 49 registered political parties in the US, including the non-canditorial Conservative Party and the Constitution Party represented by candidate Virgil Goode.) And, when the news isn't talking about establishment politics, it focuses on the worst aspects of our nature: kidnapping, murder, adultery...

Here's where the "What if?" comes in.

What if?

What if we stopped playing by their rules?

What if we stopped listening to their propagandas?

What if we stopped deciding between the lesser of two evils, and made a real choice?

What if we demanded they give us our country back or determined to start a new one for ourselves?

What if we banished affirmative action, limited the federal government, and demanded national fiscal responsibility?

What if we treated homosexuality, abortion on demand, and adultery as sins instead of as choices?

What if we defended our borders, executed kidnappers, and banned the lottery?

What if we stopped telling our children they were amoebas and monkeys?

What if we repented and reaffirmed our identity as "under God"?

What if?

Caption Contest!

Today Micah reached 2 lbs, 0.5 ounces. In order to celebrate, Olivia (and Micah) suggested a competition. So, here's the deal: Think of a caption for this picture and contribute it in the Comments below by clicking on the underlined word "comments". The winner will get a guest appearance on a popular sitcom, a cash prize of $2000.00, and a special gift from Micah. (Well, maybe just a special gift from Micah!) Micah also asked me to tell you that she is progressing on her ventilator and her lungs have cleared very well because her lungs are growing. Praise God! She did have to have a transfusion to get her red blood cells up where they need to be, because she is making less blood than she uses. (But, hey! She's only 5 weeks and 1 day old [gestationally 28 weeks, 5 days] and is amazingly making making her own blood, how much more do you expect?) So, think of your caption, enter it in Comments below, and keep praying! Add Your Caption Here {click below}

Gone

We saw her born. I cut her cord. We waited. We loved and thanked her birth-parents. We visited with them, ate with them, rejoiced with them. We took her from the hospital. We watched her all night. We hardly slept. We set up stations for changing and sleeping. We fed her. We changed her. We worried about germs. We held her. We prayed over her. We sang to her. We talked to her. We cleaned the stub of her umbilical cord. We memorized her changing little face: her nose, her ears, her blue eyes, her soft dark hair. She was perfect and we fell in love right away. She squeaked. She sighed. She looked at us. She snuggled. She held our fingers. She ate passionately, liked noise better than quiet, and learned to anticipate a camera's flash by the "1 - 2 - 3" that preceded it. Never had either of us been so happy. Yesterday, we packed her things in the car. We started driving back home. I drove. Olivia sat in the back with her. We sang praises to Jesus. Every mile was joy. We stopp
