Hi Folks, I haven't posted here in a long time and this new set up has me all confused. I'm not sure if all of you know this but I am part owner of a Chat Room and Forums. I made a decision a couple months ago that I needed to be dedicating my on line time to Servant Chat (the name of my chat room) as our numbers have been falling off a lot over the last several months. If anyone one wants to come by for a chat or drop a note in the Forums you can find me here: www.servantchat.com Hope you all had wonderful holidays and that I hear from you soon. love gracey

Have you ever been reading something and feel like "oh my gosh! this person crawled inside my brain and wrote about what I think! Well here is the article I read today that made me feel that way: My Personal ‘Faith Priorities’ for this Election by Jim Wallis 10-23-2008 In 2004, several conservative Catholic bishops and a few megachurch pastors like Rick Warren issued their list of “non-negotiables,” which were intended to be a voter guide for their followers. All of them were relatively the same list of issues: abortion, gay marriage, stem cell research, etc. None of them even included the word “poverty,” only one example of the missing issues which are found quite clearly in the Bible. All of them were also relatively the same as official Republican Party Web sites of “non-negotiables.” The political connections and commitments of the religious non-negotiable writers were quite clear. I want to suggest a different approach this year and share my personal list of “faith ...

Fear Mongering at it's best: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081025/ap_on_re_us/christian_right_attacks_6 Again, check the facts: http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/ http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/50lies.asp Dobson and gang should be ashamed of themselfs for this type of fear mongering and lies. It is exactly this kind of behavior that makes me ashamed to call myself a "Christian", when the word "Christian" is associated with this type of people who engage in manipulation, dishonesty and fear mongering. Call me a liberal, call me an idiot, call me a trouble maker, but please please don't call me a right winged evangelical Christian. I love Jesus but I am NOT a part of a group like this. Honestly this kind of thing is absolutely disgusting to me, when people hi jack the name of "Chritian" which means Christ like and then act like this. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Quotes ...

I could not have said this better myself. I'm appalled people could even imagine voting for mccain, 72 yrs old with history of cancer three times, and knowing that if something happened to him, this woman with absoultely no qualifications necessary to be the president of the most powerful country in the world would step in as president. The ignorant thinking that just because she is pro life makes her a good choice for the most powerful position on this planet is absolutely mind boggling, and to even try to say she is as qualified as Obama is so utterly obtuse it doesn't even deserve a response, all you have to do is listen to them in interviews to see there is absolutely no comparison. just my strong opinion lol love gracey Op-Ed Columnist Palin’s Words Raise Red Flags By BOB HERBERT Published: September 26, 2008 The country is understandably focused on the financial crisis.

My mom took all our old movie tapes (way back from the late 50's and early 60's) and had them transferred to a DVD and gave my brother and I copies. My father died when I was 18 months old and my brother was six weeks old. There are parts of the movie that show my father and I together, him holding me, playing in the snow with me and the two of us going for a ride in the car... No baby car seats back then I sat here watching the video crying my sentimental head off wondering what my life would have been like had he lived. What kind of woman would I be today if I had grown up knowing I had the safety of Daddys arms to run to when things were scary? How different would I have been if he had been there to protect me from things that happen to me as a child that should never happen to any child? He was a shy sensitive man, what would it have been like to have him there to listen, understand, love me and make me feel ...
