Wisdom From the Mouth of Kids

I was talking with my daughter about a meeting we had last week at church. The pastor asked us to think of ways to increase membership. We talked about a few options when she said she wanted a separate church service for the Youth because church can sometimes be boning. I explained why our church wanted the youth to stay in the church service; that sometimes services may be boring but there will come a day when she will appreciate the time our church has taken teaching them the foundations of the faith. I told her there are some things about our church I'm not crazy about; but no church is perfect citing the music could be better. What she said next about knocked me over.

Daughter: "I was thinking I don't like the music either. They need to sing songs like hymns"

Father (gasping) Oh?
Daughter "Yeah"
Daughter: "they keep singing the same words over and over and I think, yeah I get the point, let's sing something else."

Father: "Can you learn anything when they sing like this? "
Daughter: No it's like Mass. (she used to attend a Catholic school) they would say the same thing over and over and I'd think, yeah I get it, it becomes boring"

Amazing how my daughter understands the need to sing music with meaning but many Worship leaders don't.

Yes I asked DD if she was copying what her father said and she assured me no.

Henry's Coat of True Colors

Just heard on KFAQ; our Governor is endorsing Obama.

More proof of our Governor's true colors.

Let's trace the bread crumbs...First Governor Henry wants to expand government giving out (read spend more of YOUR money) more entitlements.

Then Henry vetos Tort Reform after claiming he wants "Texas Style Legal Reform"

Next Henry vetos two Pro Life bills that would save countless lives and provide real choice for women.

I'm sure there are more but these are the only ones that came to mind.

Now our Governor endorses Obama, who's pastor is a racist, himself a left wing, cut and run, tax us into oblivion, unfettered abortion on demand who's wife has said she's ashamed to be an American. (I think the quote went something like.....For the first time, I'm proud to be an American) candidate for President.

Henry might want to remember Obama also insulted traditional values and small town folk. In case he forgot, most Oklahomans share those traditional values.

Brad's name ought to be changed to Joseph.

Proven Right again

I don't mean to sound like a braggart, but I was proven right today at work.

This afternoon, I stumbled upon a conversation between a liberal and conservative. I was asked who I'd vote for and when I responded Amnesty John, the liberal came undone. When presented with the facts that, yes, liberals do raise taxes, and no, don't believe them about only the "rich" (which is a relative term because somehow the amount that makes you "rich" keeps getting lower and lower) paying taxes, she resorted to little more than name calling.

I tell you, I've said it before, liberals can't handle facts. When presented with them, they will run like the wind like my co worker did this afternoon. That is, after calling you a couple of names.

Primary Update

Per the CBS Evening News, it looks like Clinton is the winner of the Pennsylvania primary.

Yeah Obama, when you have racist pastors as your spokespersons, run down small town folk, and bash traditional values, people (some anyway) won't vote for you.

Earth Day

Today's Earth Day.

I frankly don't care.

Instead of naming it Earth Day, let's call it: "Stupid Environmentalist Wacko Policies Based on Myth More than Fact that Tree Huggers Want to Implement that Destroy Our Civil Rights Day"

I agree a little long but more honest.

True Colors

Our governor is showing his true colors.

Not long ago the Oklahoma House and Senate passed HB 1878, a sweeping Pro Life bill that would, among other things, regulate RU 486, the abortion pill, protecting the conscience of healthcare providers who are against the pre -meditated murder of children, and allowing for a woman to view an ultrasound of her unborn child before he/she is aborted.

Of course our governor, ever loyal to the abortion industry vetoed the bill.

However, both House and Senate have overwhemingly overridden his veto.

First it was vetoing Tort Reform after he said he wanted "Texas style Tort Reform" now he vetos Pro Life legislation.

We are seeing Henry's true colors.

Then again, maybe they were there all along?
