Just a comment, my father just bought a gun and the gun guy in the shop said that day--last Sat. before the election he sold over 100 guns in one day. Incredible. Taking up arms? Preparation? Coincidence? Blessings to you and your family. God will and does always reign supreme!<BR/>jill<BR/>www.homesteadblogger.com/jillAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2947580832429520795.post-41216371604010839662008-11-06T09:01:00.000-06:002008-11-06T09:01:00.000-06:00Geez, why would someone have such a problem with o...Geez, why would someone have such a problem with owning guns. We own more then I can count. I have read this post and the one prior and found nothing wrong with either, in fact, i agree whole heartedly with both. I live on a farm in North Kansas (moved here from SOuth MS) and you know what we use our guns for, coyotes getting after my chickens, scaring stray dogs off our property, hunting, AND we have no problem using them for personal protection against a burglar if the need arises. Heck , where we live, by the time the police got here some criminal could have gotten away with our property or broken in and done some harm to one of us. With a gun and all family memebers knowing how to use one we are prepared. AND who knows, with the way our country is going who's to say things aren't going to go in a bad way in the years to come? I dont mind saying we are and have been stocking up on ammo for WHATEVER we want to stock it for. You have to protect yourself, your family and whats yours because no one else is going to do that for you when push comes to shove.If anyone was on the Gulf Coast during and after Hurricane Katrina you should understand what I mean. Whatever comment the person left about your stocking ammo...I wouldnt personally respond to it because that is what they are wanting you to do. You have some really great posts. I may not always agree with everyhing but God made us all different for a reason. I dont care what Joe Shmoe down the street thinks or any one else for that matter. When they need to protect themselves or theirs let them use a phone or a frying pan (like it would work, lol). I would use my gun. <BR/> Personally I didnt like either candidate but the country has voted and Obama is there and thats that. I didnt vote because i didnt want either one to be President. Just as I have a right to vote, i have the right to not vote. I have a right to voice my opinion as well, whether i voted or not. This is still a free country, for now anyways. <BR/>Hang in there and keep up your good posts.I look forward daily to checking your blog.<BR/><BR/>CathyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2947580832429520795.post-80214544527125527312008-11-06T08:00:00.000-06:002008-11-06T08:00:00.000-06:00And Amen... we have guns because right now WE CAN....And Amen... we have guns because right now WE CAN. We have a rather strong-minded President-Elect in place who would like to take those privileges away from us. I prefer to keep what I have, thank you.<BR/><BR/>Not looking to start shooting the neighbors, but protection is protection and I am a woman alone in the rural country here with 8 children.

I may not be politically saavy, but I do live here. How people vote is their own personal business, but the Who belongs to everyone, voters and non. I've seen people who do not vote get rather loud about the choices...pointless, when you haven't voted yourself. I've seen those who did vote, remain quiet.<BR/><BR/>Sorry, I'm not much of what you would call a 'quiet person' at all. I say what I have on my heart, and yes, I often (too often, it appears) jump ahead of my God-given common sense :o)<BR/><BR/>Right now, agree or disagree with the choices in place, our country can't continue on without a deep and serious prayer vigil... God is still God and He places people in the positions He does. My heart is calling out Chronicles 7:14, as many others are as well.<BR/><BR/>This election was historical. Not many truly thought we would have a black President, given our hang-ups with race for so many generations. It was a truly monumental step for this country.<BR/><BR/>This comment from a blog I follow sums things up rather nicely, I think:<BR/><BR/>If there is to be any future to the Christian political thought, then Christians cannot continue to be republican lapdogs rain or shine. There must be a return to uncompromising faith in the certainty of Gods word. Every area of political thought must be brought under the authority of scripture, and any candidate that is Biblically unqualified will have to change or give up one of their most influential voter bases. We are called to be peculiar people of faith in Christ, not people called after pragmatism and compromise. If we believe what scripture says then, it is not the voter, but God who rises up leaders for the nations. Christians read that in the scriptures, but they do not truly believe that do they. If Christians truly believed what the word of God said it would naturally follows that delivering a vote made in faith for a Biblically qualified candidate (even if he has “no chance” of winning) goes further to raise up strong and godly leaders then a pragmatic vote for “the better of two evils”. Leaders like Obama are given as God’s judgment against all those who disregard His word and are given to compromise.<BR/><BR/>We have four years to think over the consequence of compromise and during that time we have a lot of work to do.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02315996496008524220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2947580832429520795.post-17510494904405215972008-11-06T00:01:00.000-06:002008-11-06T00:01:00.000-06:00Currently we do not own any guns, not that we are ...Currently we do not own any guns, not that we are anti-gun, quite the contrary! My husband is a wussified suburbanite and doesn't hunt.

So we will be praying for the new president, as well. However, from his history, I know that he is anti gun and we too, will be stocking up on ammo. We too hunt, as a means of filling our freezer and supplying our meat needs.

Just because God allowed someone to win the white house doesn't mean it was his will. God will allow some things in our lives just to teach us a lesson and also for his plans to play out also..Take for example, God never wanted Israel to have a king..He wanted to be their king..But because of all of Israel's whining and moaning that they wanted one..he allowed it to happen, but it was never his will..I appreciated your blog and enjoy reading it!! keep up the good work---JanaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
