As to the rest ...Thank you for the article, Misti. As to the rest of my blog, well, I hope you find at least something of use so you aren't wasting computer time on me :o) I don't get on a rant like this very often, but I was getting emails hand-over-fist about saying much less than this on a group I visit and I suppose I just had enough.<BR/><BR/>That apron that makes me look huge and pregnant (which I'm not...well, just the huge part) is the softest cotton I've ever found. A friend gave it to me last Christmas and I kept hanging onto it trying to decide what to use it for. The apron pattern is the Friends Kitchen/Canning apron.<BR/><BR/>Brenda, you know I definitely agree with you. I don't support the war at all, I do however pray deeply for each soldier over there fighting for this country. I support what they believe they are doing for this country -- I'm just completely off on the government who would sacrifice so many lives to boost profits and try to stand large and in charge. I have family over there, I have several friends with husbands over there now, or on their way back soon. It's insane and pointless. The 'people' aren't worth much in a war like that, on either side.<BR/><BR/>Carie, thank you for the Kreative Blogger award. I'm certainly not much on the creative side I don't think. I'm just opinionated :o) I do appreciate the award -- thank you. I can't possibly choose only 10 to pass it along to -- I share it with everyone on my link list! I follow them all :o)<BR/><BR/>Aimee, I do agree with you. There are alot of people who aren't sure where they sit with the war. I had to divide it into what it is...a show on the part of the government and money-maker for politicians with connections, and the men and women who serve. I am against the war itself, but I am for each and every soldier over there fighting for what they have been taught to believe they are fighting for. <BR/><BR/>Our prayers, regardless of where one stands on the war itself, MUST go toward those men and women, their families and loved ones. They truly are sacrificing themselves for things they perhaps don't even know; most because they feel it's the right thing to do and that they are saving more lives than are being lost, that they are making a positive difference in the lives of those people in other countries, as well as their families over here.<BR/><BR/>It breaks my heart.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for keeping the flames to a minimum. I only ditched one comment, and honestly, I shouldn't have. I don't like censorship, but my children read my blog and comments as well and I won't put garbage out there and I won't take the time to play Editor, plain and simple.<BR/>To that blogger )anonymously listed, of course)all I can say is you are welcome to believe what you wish. I pray I am totally incorrect on any of my "ranting delusions" as you put it, but I read my Bible and honestly, this is just a shadow of what's lined up for us. <BR/>I may go against the popular, American Citizen rhetoric you find on "other nice and truly Christian blogs" but I don't believe in mincing words. It is what it is and I am what I am...and I know I'm a blood-bought, born again, saved by Grace and Mercy Child of Christ walking daily as close to Him as I can get, reading and praying for understanding of what He wishes of me and my life here.<BR/>And yes...my Bible does contain that verse about a meek and quiet spirit...and I have read it, despite my ranting. I take the WHOLE Bible to be of use and purpose in my life, of course, but I am human born of sin and I'm going to need continual practice and work to move into His Perfection one day.<BR/><BR/>Same as you.<BR/>DeannaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02315996496008524220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2947580832429520795.post-5129861932674658392009-01-28T20:41:00.000-06:002009-01-28T20:41:00.000-06:00Interesting.

I don't think we should sit back and watch atrocities (sp) being commited (example: Hitler and the Jews, Sadam and the Kurds) at the same time I don't think we should be the world's police and force Democracy on them.<BR/><BR/>I agree with you that prophecy is being fulfilled and there are scary times ahead.

(just kidding LOL)<BR/><BR/>You won't get any opposition from me. My husband and I watched a t.v. program the other night about an American female soldier, mother of 3, who fled here to Canada with her family to avoid re-deployment in Iraq. Besides facing danger everyday from the enemy combatants, she also faced daily sexual harassment from her own soldiers! Now our conservative, former-President Bush-lovin' Canadian Prime Minister has ordered her to be deported, along with her youngest baby who was born here in Canada. You can read about it here, at Courage to Resist: http://www.couragetoresist.org/x/content/view/541/1/<BR/><BR/>You may get a LOT of heat over this, Deanna. I'm against a war that the Bush government concocted just to give Cheney's Halliburton and his arms-dealing buddies some blood-profits. Canada followed lock-step behind the U.S. and our troops are there too--in Iraq and Afghanistan. "Support our troops" stickers are on vehicles here too. I feel for the families who are giving up their children for a war that that was unnecessary. I have much sympathy for the individual soldiers who are over there risking their lives--but for a system that doesn't deserve their loyalty! That's my two cents worth...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2947580832429520795.post-42715293032851064022009-01-28T15:18:00.000-06:002009-01-28T15:18:00.000-06:00I love your blog and read it daily.

I think you'll find it interesting...now they are trying to get rid of children as a way to fix the economy! It won't stop until the Lord stops it. It's just the way nature is. Sinful and on a downward spiral to destruction. Sad. I do believe in standing up for what you believe in, and I really appreciated you voicing your thoughts. I can't wait to read the rest of your blogs!
