Almost Heaven, West Virginia!

I feel a road trip coming on to try out my "new" car and to rest and rejuvenate before tackling our next project!!! 

We've been working so hard to turn our little house into a "dollhouse" it really is time for R & R.  I already have it rented, so I think we just need to get away and relax for a while.  Do some fun things before going on to Project #6 in a couple of weeks.


I told DH either I wrote a darn good ad or didn't charge enough rent.  I received twenty calls in twenty-four hours after placing it and rented to the second person who looked at it.  They didn't bat an eye about the monthly rental amount either.  See what I mean?


But the former "ugliest house on the block" is now one of the prettiest; much to my pleasure.  Didn't think I would enjoy subcontracting the work and being a decorator, but I really think I've found my niche!  Though next time, I will definitely hire a painter!  ;-)   


Oh, yes, back to the road trip...I think I'd like to go back to a place in West Virginia where the water is so blue, it's as if God rinsed His paintbrush in it after painting the sky! And, maybe He did? 


After all, it is...almost Heaven...West Virginia!

THANK GOD, OUR SYSTEM WORKS!

Feeling really good about the George Zimmerman case. In this instance, our justice system worked!  But some people will not be happy.  To some it is never enough.  POTUS should have never intervened, it cost the U.S. taxpayers a whole lot of money, when evidence clearly indicated before the trial it should have never been prosecuted to begin with.  Nuff said.

About D-Day - no apologies here!

 If anybody doesn't like what I "like" or like what I have to say, please feel free to unfriend me! Save the chastisement for your children, who have swallowed the liberal agenda whole and now spew it out like pablum! Last time I checked it was still a free country...oh, but wait...hmmm. Yeah right!!! It's free for all except for Conservatives and born again Christians who dare speak up for what is right. I truly hate no one. While I may not agree with their beliefs, it doesn't make me ignorant or a bad person or a non-Christian. And, if you would ever take a look at the Constitution it does mention how our nation is founded on a belief in God and it's law actually based upon Judeo-Christian tenants such as the Ten Commandments. Where we have failed is in teaching our children how that special document helped form a special nation where other people are literally dying to come to. Our children are sorely lacking in knowing the history of our (dare I say it?) GREAT country, when it was the US that was attacked by Japan at Pearl Harbor that instigated WWII. We as a people, had every right to strike back.Nearly a half million people - mostly our young men and women - died so that we wouldn't be overtaken by the tyrants who would have totally destroyed us had it not been for the fact we ended what they started with a nuclear weapon! Did we want to use such a heinous weapon? Of course not! We asked them to surrender and stop the senseless killing, but they refused. They were given several chances, they refused. And, yes it was awful so many of them and their children were killed and so many suffered, but what about our people??? Did the killing of innocent American men and women not matter? The only thing aggressors understand is brute force, and it was brute force that finally ended it. If you would take time to look at this video about Normandy, hopefully, it will give you a better understanding of the sacrifice our brave young men and women made, not to mention their families who FOREVER felt loss and what lengths we had to go to, to stop a tyrant.

Life in prison is too good for Gosnell, the baby murderer in Philly! The death penalty seems more appropriate.  But instead of using drugs to induce his death, they should snip HIS spinal cord!

Happy Belated Birthday

Happy belated birthday to my grandson, Brandon!  He is such a great guy.  He wants to help others by becoming a State Trooper.  He's overcome many things in his life including Dyslexia and maintains a 3.5 grade average.  I am very proud of him!

God bless Israel!

 Photo: Egypt's president has called Jews "decedents of apes and pigs." This is the same nation that the U.S. plans to send advanced weapons of war.

As a Christian, I pray one day I will be able to see the Promised Land.  It would be a trip of a lifetime, just to walk where my Savior walked.  Maybe even be baptized in the River Jordan.  How awesome that would be!
