No comments? Come on, just talk...
Obama seems to have won Wyoming. Is Hillary pouting? Since we have all seen her recently when she went into second place and when she was unhappy the Barack was criticising her health plan.
I went to the democrats.org to find out who won the Texas caucus. The main headlines on the democrat site were: Bush backs McCain, John McCain-No change, McCain Backs Criminalization...again, Countdown to McCain's Iraq Withdrawal, McCain hires Another Lobbyist and McCain Trying to Distance Himself from Bush? I bet all of these articles are written with the highest of journalistic standards.
Nate's getting glasses. He's actually getting bi-focals. Crazy-isn't it? The doc said it will help him to be able to read a book and also see the board better. Aaron doesn't need them. Taurus needs his teeth cleaned. I went to a new vet who gave him a very thorough exam. We'll get his teeth done within the month. Nate starts CSAP on Monday--it's like MCAS in Massachusetts. State testing of kids' skill levels. The boys went to my dentist for cleanings. Nate said he was the best dentist ever. Such a relief when it works out.
What have we done for fun? Absolutely nothing this weekend. We went to the library, to the bank, out to lunch and then we read all the rest of the day. Now we're watching Kicking and Screaming, a Will Ferrell movie where a parent goes over the top with his kid's soccer team. Have you seen pictures of him for his new movie-Semi-Pro? He has that afro with a headband? If I got a headband, and fluffed my hair, I could look almost like him!!!! My hair is curly and about 4 1/2 inches long. We just measured. I got some mousse. If I dry it, it goes big & fluffy, so I don't. I just air dry it.
And now I have to watch The Bad News Bears. Yippee! It's the re-make with Billy-Bob Thornton.

I think politics and religion are very interesting ... but unfortunately I think the former makes the latter less reliable :(
What I mean by that is I believe that most politicians are more interested in power / success / control / fame / fortune / protection / recognition than anything and as a result everything else gets filtered into what is "right" to achieve their hopeful demographic support.
Thus, Barrack Hussein Obama could believe and be a muslim but he may have decided that it is not a politically expedient characteristic. Hillary Clinton could be a non-believer but have concluded that also is not politically expedient position. McCain could be a fighting fundamentalist christian but have decided that is not a politically expedient stance. They may all actually NOT believe in anything spiritual outside themselves (i.e., God") and only believe in doing "the best" as they see/define the best. Although Kennedy claimed to be a catholic I believe he was well known for his regular trysts with women who weren't his wife. I suppose we could go on and on and on and on. Who of them is faithful? Who is true? Who believes in the concept of right and wrong in the face of wrong feeling good?
I understand wanting to know the candidates spiritual beliefs, because as we try to search out how effectively people will lead the country it would be comforting to know a lot more than we ever get to know. And for those of us who believe that our universe didn't come from nothing, that everything around us reveals an intelligent designer (just as the honda in my garage reveals an engineer and manufacturer), and that if 'god' exists he would choose to reveal himself to us -- and have thus tested & concluded that the bible's claims are real, it seems like it would provide comfort to know that we had a leader who believes that our decisions have greater implications than ourselves and that there is a plan in effect that is bigger than this quarter or four-year election cycle.
However, I think that although every president has professed faith in God as revealed in the bible of the old and new testaments, I unfortunately don't think by-and-large this professed faith has included obedience to God's truth and/or translated into godly character.
I really worry about politicians ~ especially on the national stage. I wonder if there are any who are self-less and serving -- I wonder actually if surviving in the political environment is completely contrary to being self-less and serving ?? I worry about ALL of them ...
And I'm not even a cynic!
Love you my friend,
