Something To Ponder For Today

Evolution and school violence—a sad connection?

This image came from here.

People have been shocked in recent times at the outbreak of violence in public schools in America and around the world. Some schools have installed metal detectors to try to curb such violent behavior.

What does evolution have to do with this sad—and shocking—situation?

What we see happening is the end result of an education system that has effectively eliminated God from the classroom. When you think about it, generations of young people are being brainwashed each day in evolutionary ideas. They are being told that they are nothing special—they are just animals that have evolved from some primitive form of life over millions of years.

The more society as a whole thinks this way, the more people will act consistently with what they’ve been taught. If life is not special, then it has no value. If there’s no God, and thus no absolute authority, then anyone can decide right and wrong for themselves.

Most of the students probably don’t realize the connection of violence with evolution (though some have)—but underneath it all, this anti-God belief system has subtly caused them to think life is hopeless and without any purpose.

'Global Warming Is Lies' Claims Documentary'

Check out this article. I am so excited to see an article like this. One of my favorite things that was said is below the link. (Italics bold print are my words or were added for emphasis.)

"At the moment, there is almost a McCarthyism movement in science where the greenhouse effect is like a puritanical religion and this is dangerous."In the programme Mr Calder said: "The greenhouse effect is seen as a religion and if you don't agree, you are a heretic."

By the way, as much as I know it was full of political correct junk, I am embarrassed to say I just LOVED the movie "Day After Tomorrow". Love those nifty special effects and Dennis Quaid. I think I love every movie he is in. Great actor in my opinion or maybe he is just a likeable fellow. ~Kim

I Would Vote For This Guy!!!

WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT TO TURN ON THE TV AND HEAR ANY U.S. PRESIDENT, DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN GIVE THE FOLLOWING SPEECH?

"My Fellow Americans: As you all know, the defeat of the Iraq regime has been completed."

Since congress does not want to spend any more money on this war, our mission in Iraq is complete. This morning I gave the order for a complete removal of all American forces from Iraq This action will be complete within 30 days. It is now time to begin the reckoning.


Before me, I have two lists. One list contains the names of countries which have stood by our side during the Iraq conflict. This list is short . The United Kingdom , Spain , Bulgaria , Australia , and Poland are some of the countries listed there.

The other list contains every one not on the first list. Most of the world's nations are on that list. My press secretary will be distributing copies of both lists later this evening.

Let me start by saying that effective immediately, foreign aid to those nations on List 2 ceases immediately and indefinitely. The money saved during the first year alone will pretty much pay for the costs of the Iraqi war. THEN EVERY YEAR THERE AFTER IT'll GO TO OUR SOCIAL SECURITY SYSTEM SO IT WONT GO BROKE IN 20 YEARS.

The American people are no longer going to pour money into third world Hellholes and watch those government leaders grow fat on corruption.

Need help with a famine? Wrestling with an epidemic? Call France .

In the future, together with Congress, I will work to redirect this money toward solving the vexing social problems we still have at home . On that note, a word to terrorist organizations. Screw with us and we will hunt you down and eliminate you and all your friends from the face of the earth.

Thirsting for a gutsy country to terrorize? Try France or maybe China.

I am ordering the immediate severing of diplomatic relations with France, Germany , and Russia . Thanks for all your help, comrades. We are retiring from NATO as well. Bonne chance, meza mies.

I have instructed the Mayor of New York City to begin towing the many UN diplomatic vehicles located in Manhattan with more than two unpaid parking tickets to sites where those vehicles will be stripped, shredded and crushed. I don't care about whatever treaty pertains to this. You creeps have tens of thousands of unpaid tickets. Pay those tickets tomorrow or watch your precious Benzes, Beamers and limos be turned over to some of the finest chop shops in the world. I love New York

A special note to our neighbors. Canada is on List 2. Since we are likely to be seeing a lot more of each other, you folks might want to try not pissing us off for a change.

Mexico is also on List 2. IT's president and his entire corrupt government really need an attitude adjustment. I will have a couple extra thousand tanks and infantry divisions sitting around. Guess where I am going to put 'em? Yep, border security.

Oh, by the way, the United States is abrogating the NAFTA treaty - starting now.

We are tired of the one-way highway. Immediately, we'll be drilling for oil in Alaska - which will take care of this country's oil needs for decades to come. If you're an environmentalist who opposes this decision, I refer you to List 2 above: pick a country and move there.

It is time for America to focus on its own welfare and its own citizens. Some will accuse us of isolationism. I answer them by saying, 'darn tootin.'

Nearly a century of trying to help folks live a decent life around the world has only earned us the undying enmity of just about everyone on the planet. It is time to eliminate hunger in America. It is time to eliminate homelessness in America . To the nations on List 1, a final thought. Thank you guys. We owe you and we won't forget.

To the nations on List 2, a final thought: You might want to learn to speak Arabic.

God bless America . Thank you and good night. "

If you can read this, thank a teacher. If you are reading it in English, thank a soldier.

Stealing Cinderella

This image was found here.
I should have called this blog post "Bet I Can Make You Cry" but I didn't. I just heard this song for the first time today. It made me think of my Daddy (Dad this is dedicated to you).

This song is also for all the little girls out there (that would be all girls since I am convinced that we always have a little girl living inside of us) and to all the Daddy's out there. Just so you know there is always a special place in the heart of a girl for her Daddy.

Click here to see this video. When you are done with that video if you still haven't teared up check out this one, below. Let me know if you can keep from crying (or at least tearing up) because you will deserve some kind of award. :-) ~Kim



In place of

"She was playing Cinderella"

I would have to say playing the roller skating Queen but that wouldn't make a very good title would it?

In place of

"Bouncing on the bed and looking for a pillow fight"

I would have to change it to bouncing on the bed and playing with her Barbie dolls!

You can read all the lyrics below

I came to see her daddy for sit down man to man
It wasn't any secret i'd be asking for her hand
I guess that's why he left me waiting in the living room by myself
with at least a dozen pictures of her sitting on a shelf

- Chorus -

She was playing Cinderella
She was riding her first bike
Bouncing on the bed and looking for a pillow fight
Running through the sprinkler with a big popsicle grin
Dancing with her dad, looking up at him
In her eyes i'm Prince Charming
But to him i'm just some fella
riding in and stealing Cinderella

I leaned in towards those pictures to get a better look at one
When I heard a voice behind me say "Now, ain't she something, son?"
I said "Yes, she quite a woman"
and he just stared at me
Then I realized that in his eyes she would always be

Playing Cinderella
Riding her first bike
Bouncing on the bed and looking for a pillow fight
Running through the sprinkler with a big popsicle grin
Dancing with her dad, looking up at him
In her eyes i'm Prince Charming
But to him i'm just some fella
riding in and stealing Cinderella

He slapped me on the shoulder
Then he called her in the room
When she threw her arms around him
That's when I could see it too

Playing Cinderella
Riding her first bike
Bouncing on the bed and looking for a pillow fight
Running through the sprinkler with a big popsicle grin
Dancing with her dad, looking up at him
If he gives me a hard time
I can't blame the fella
I'm the one who's stealing Cinderella

To Christians and Non-Christians -Get Ready

There is a very interesting post on my friends blog. Everyone should see it. If you are a Christian it could be a wake up call. Maybe you need to look at your life a little closer. If you are not a Christian you DO need to see it and you should talk to someone that is a Christian. No, not someone that is a Christian in name only or is "religious" but someone that has a relationship with Jesus Christ. The world is changing and there are things we need to really pay attention to. If you were going on a trip to another country or even another state you would want to be prepared. You would want to research the area and get all the information you could. You would want to plan and pack. You would not just head out the door without a map or a plan.

If you are not a Christian you need a plan......Check out my friends blog here.

John 16:33
These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will[a] have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

No Limits on TV?

TV can be really good or it can be really bad. Right now we have to work together to stop something bad.

Help protect our children!


On Friday ABC joined ranks with Fox and CBS to challenge the Federal Communications Commission's authority to fine broadcasters for airing so-called fleeting profanity. They want to make it okay to air "F-words" and "S-words" over the public airwaves, regardless of time of day or how many children are watching.

We can NOT let this happen!

Your activism last summer helped to move this important legislation out of committee and onto the floor of the Senate. But now it is being blocked from coming to a vote.

We've already seen what the broadcast networks are willing to do when left to their own devices -- unfettered foul language, graphic sex and nudity, explicit violence... Is this the legacy we want to leave our children? Please help us take a stand for decency. Help us give the FCC the tools it needs to get the job done.
