My husband sent me this oh I do agree how about you?

Like a lot of folks in this state, I have a job. I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as they see fit. In order to get that paycheck I am required to pass a random urine test, which I have no problem with.

What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who don't have to pass a urine test. Shouldn't one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check, because I have to pass one to earn it for them?

Please understand, I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet.
I do, on the other hand, have a problem with helping someone sit on their butt & do drugs on my tax money. Could you imagine how much money the state would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check.

This is certainly food for thought what do you think?

OBAMA for your MAMA?

Yes Yes Yes I know we are ALL entitled to our own opinions for sure on Political views.

So that means since you have have your own view then I can have mine too. (smile)

Watching, listening and reading all I have been on the Candidates for President I fear for our Country......

Now this is just my take on the situation at hand okay?

Can anyone tell me why at a time when we are at war with a Muslim nation the United States would ANYONE be voting to elect someone with his Muslim family ties to the highest office?
When the future generations look back and see that we have elected a Muslim to be President when we were at war with a Muslim country, what will they think?

Would our grandparents have elected a Japanese man to be President after Pearl Harbor? Or a German, after Hitler?

I don't get it...how can people be so ignorant to even consider voting for this man?

And lets face it...if Obama wins the Democratic Party nomination he will be President...There is no Republican I fear strong enough to challenge him. Or should I say not enough votes to out do Obama I fear.

It is really quite sad to see how far down our choices have come to.

Where are the great men who ruled nations? What has happened?

If this man becomes President I do indeed believe we are living in the end of times.

I do know that the media has played a role in the disrespect of the Presidential office. The media seems to ruin a lot of things.....but OUR GOVERNMENT took God out of the equation, and I feel that broke our covenant with God. I feel terrible for our children and grandchildren. We certainly have not done a very good job at leaving them promising futures. From the state of our government to the state of the world...Heaven help us all and GOD BLESS AMERICA.....

I found this interesting not sure if all of it is true but sounds very interesting for sure......


Can a good Muslim be a good American?


This question was forwarded to a friend who worked in Saudi
Arabia for 20 years.

The following is his reply:

Theologically - no. . . . Because his allegiance is to Allah,
The moon God of Arabia.

Religiously - no. . . . Because no other religion is accepted
by His Allah except Islam (Quran, 2:256) (Koran).

Scripturally - no. . . . Because his allegiance is to the five
Pillars of Islam and the Quran.

Geographically - no. . . . Because his allegiance is to Mecca,
to which he turns in prayer five times a day.

Socially - no. . . . Because his allegiance to Islam forbids him to
make friends with Christians or Jews.

Politically - no. . . . Because he must submit to the mullahs (spiritual leaders),
who teach annihilation of Israel and destruction of America, the great Satan.

Domestically - no. . . . Because he is instructed to marry four women and beat
and scourge his wife when she disobeys him (Quran 4:34).

Intellectually - no. . . . Because he cannot accept the American Constitution
since it is based on Biblical principles, and he believes the Bible to be corrupt.

Philosophically - no. . . . Because Islam, Muhammad, and the Quran
do not allow freedom of religion and expression. Democracy and Islam
cannot co-exist. Every Muslim government is either dictatorial or autocratic.

Spiritually - no. . . . Because when we declare "one nation under God,
" the Christian's God is loving and kind, while Allah is NEVER referred
to as Heavenly father, nor is he ever called love in The Quran's 99
excellent names.

Therefore after much study and deliberation, perhaps we should be very
suspicious of ALL MUSLIMS in this country.
They obviously cannot be both "good" Muslims and good Americans.


* * * Call it what you wish; it's still the truth.


* * * You had better believe it.


* * * The more who understand this, the better it will be for our
country and our future. The religious war is bigger than we know or
understand.


And Barack Hussein Obama, a Muslim, wants to be our President?

You HAVE to be kidding?! Wake up America!

Every President that I am aware of has been sworn into office on the Bible. If Obama wins will he be sworn in on the Quran (Koran)---not the Bible!

Okay I did see the surgeon last week I have another appointment today at 1:45 then they will fax the paperwork if I am cleared by them for the surgery to the surgeon. THEN if all is okay I then should get my surgery date sometime this week. Many of you have been asking and PRAYING for me I know and I love you ALL..... I will keep you posted as I learn more. Some of you have asked how to contact me while I am at the hospital well the day of the surgery if you want to check on how things went you can call Michael's cell. They said I would be in from 2-5 days depending on how things went and easily I recover.
So I had best go and get ready for my appointment today. WISH ME LUCK...

Aaron and Corey

Everyday when Aaron gets home from school, Corey just lights up. He adores Aaron. Aaron walks in the door puts down his backpack and on the floor he goes. He will say Hello Corey.. in a real cute way and Corey just smiles and kicks his feet. They were in the floor the other day and Corey was cracking up of course by the time I though about getting my phone to video them together he was not giggling like before but it was still cute so thought I would share it. To hear it better go down to the bottom of my blog and turn the music off that is playing..

Yesterday... With my guys

Yesterday was a Holiday, Mike had the day off Aaron had no school. I worked but just half a day. So it was a pretty day outside it was raining and everything smelled so clean and nice. Mike said let's go for a drive and check out where you have to go tomorrow. I don't like having to find new places alone. And I see my surgeon today and the office is in Corona. So we went for a drive in search of the Surgeons office.

We found the office without any trouble so it will make it easier for me today knowing where I am going. Mike took my camera out of my purse as I was driving and took a picture of the windshield it was raining kind of hard at this point. Then just a few minutes later it stopped and a rainbow appeared it was very pretty.

Then that is when Mike and Aaron went crazy.. as you can see in the slideshow below.
One would make a face then the other. I do not know which one is the biggest kid. Yes, I am still raising two boys as you can see. But I must admit I would rather have them this way, having fun and goofing off and enjoying their time together. Ha!
You can see how much fun they had!



Then this morning after Aaron was ready for school he said mom are you going to put those pictures on your blog today I said oh what a great idea. So I got my camera out of my purse to take the card out to download them on the computer. Then Aaron said hey take a picture of me with my new shirt on. He does have quite the sense of humor. He had been wanting a T Shirt for a long time that said this and I finally found one. He finds humor in his disability's most of the time so that is a good thing. It is much better to joke and laugh than to be sad. And you can see he was happy this morning before leaving for school.

Rally at the Coachella Church today...

We had a great time today down at the Coachella church for the rally. After the rally was over we hung out for awhile singing with Jason and Matthew. I love those guys so much. They are very special to me. And so happy that Jason's son Tanner loves me so much too. (ha! ha! ha!)

I love going to the Coachella church it is always like going home. I attended that church from 11 months old. I was saved in that church, baptized in that church and married in that church. Still have a lot of relatives that attend that church and many dear old friends.

Anyway here are few pictures of the day. Wish I had got some during their awesome skit but it was very dark in the church you can see the black paper they had on the walls and windows in some of the pictures. I teased them and said wow Coachella has gone Gothic or something when we walked in was so dark inside with all the walls lined in black.(smile) Any great job Coachella on hosting the rally.


Jason had not sung this one song in over 10 years I asked him if he remembered it. It was always one of my very favorite songs that he did. Thanks Jason for bringing back wonderful memories. I LOVE YOU.. Hugs Mom Judy

Show about Bipolar and Medication issue...

Well anyone who knows me knows I read and watch as much as I possibly can things concerning Bipolar in Children and Autism. PBS had a special which you can watch on online here if you missed it.
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/medicatedchild/view/main.html

It shows families and what they go through with their children who have been DX with Bipolar. It also talks to the Food and Drug Admin about medications they are making and ones that are given to our children. There is a segment where parents are blaming the medications killed their child. Some from Suicide. I feel so sorry for these parents because this has always been a fear of mine because I know several people who have lost their Bipolar children to suicide some of the had taken their kids off medications because of all the talk our children were drugged. So there is two sides to this issue. Some parents feel the medications made them commit suicide and I have seen first hand of friends who lost their child because they removed the medication. So there is no right or wrong answer is a situation such as this. I have been told more than once that the type of Bipolar has and the things that have been seen in him that someday it might be to much for him and that he could try and hurt or kill himself. This has always been a fear of mine for sure.
That is why I see that he sees his Psychiatrist and Psychologist as often as possible so that they might see the early signs of this. I do know in my heart I have done all I can to see that Aaron gets the help he needs and see that he takes his medications. But this has not been an easy journey and it is an ongoing battle to try and make sure he has all that he needs and every avenue has been checked out on things that can possibly make things easier for him to live in this world. So those friends of mine who read my blog who have special kids check out the show on the link I posted above it was good to watch. I know many of you when you read my blog you email me instead of posting and that is fine whatever makes you more comfortable if you do not like others reading what you wrote then just email me. Hugs and have a blessed day...

Sad news.. prayers please..

A man Michael works with his name is Jim. His daughter who was 25 years old died in her sleep over the weekend. They have no idea why she died, she had not been ill or anything. Our daughters, Amanda and Sara played with her each week while Michael and Jim played on the Santa Ana City Softball Team when our girls were like 11 and 12 years old.

This is very hard on this family. Kristina was Jim's youngest daughter. Please be in prayer for this family as they prepare for her services.

We certainly never know when it is our time to go. Young or old. God takes us home when he sees fit not when we feel it is time to go.
