Field Day with our homeschool group.

How can this be?  Can you believe that people actually believe that way?  I believe in equal rights for all people!  This is shameful NC!

Let’s take these arguments that anti Amendment One voters have been sharing and line them up against abortion.  Do you really believe in equal rights for everyone?  So, next year we can have an Amendment banning abortion and you will vote for it?

I do not appreciate everyone who jumps to the conclusion that I based my vote on an “obscure” verse in the Old Testament.  Questions like,”Do you eat Pork?”, “Do you wear mixed fibers?”, “Are you for stoning?” are regurgitated arguments that come from those who don’t know any better.

We vote from a Biblical Worldview.  I do not take scripture out of context or twist it around so that it will justify my sin.  I have read behind Biblical “scholars” that pick and choose scripture and interpret it how they want it to sound.

Love the sinner not the sin.  You may hate me for how I stand, but understand I do not take it personally.  You do not hate me, you are rejecting the Bible, you are rejecting the truth.

Christians, stay in the Word, stay in prayer.  Know what you believe, believe what you know.  Pray for our government, our leaders and those who stand against the word of God.

The More You Know……

For the first time I can remember I’ve had a really hard time getting back into a good routine of exercise after baby. He’s six months old now yet I just can’t bring myself to get up early and exercise like I have in the past.  I’m not normally one that struggles much with willpower.  I’ve always been a “suck it up and get it done” kinda girl.

Anyway, this week I decided I had to get back into the routine.  Even though I normally get some kind of walk in during the day, I needed to get back to my morning workout.  So I set the alarm for 6 am.  Monday I woke up at 5:55 am, turned the alarm off and headed downstairs.  I did  some yoga that worked out my abs. Did I mention that I had a baby 6 months ago?  Yeah my abs, not in the best working order of their life.  Tuesday I felt like I had been hit by a truck, in the abs of course.

Tuesday morning I did ab work again.  I have no idea why, possibly I forgot.  I was a glutton for punishment.  I secretly enjoyed the severe pain, I have no explanation.

Wednesday my abs still hurt, my ribs felt like they had been smashed, and my feet were cramping.  I dragged myself out of bed, the cat licked my feet, and then….. I smelled coffee.  My dad had left earlier and there was still coffee on, it smelled    so    good.  The house was quiet and the cat had even retired back to sleep.

My house is rarely quiet and when it is I’m not normally awake.  That’s when I remembered, ah…the brownies we had for dessert the night before.  I imagined this picturesque moment where I was eating brownies and drinking coffee alone in a quiet house.

I stumbled over to the remote, put on some 20 minute workout thing and grabbed some hand weights.

Then I shared the brownies with the kids at lunchtime, I mean you have to compromise sometimes right?
