Sneaky, Sneaky!!

The end of last week and this whole weekend has been very lazy. We took Konner to the doctor to find out he has a sinus and 'almost' ear infection. His appetite this past week has not been to great. The doc prescribed some antibiotic. He takes his first dose of medicine Friday and doesn't keep it down. It says it may upset stomach if not taken with a 'moderate' meal which is like bread, just something light. Saturday is not a different story. This morning he wakes up bright and early. He turns on the TV and gets a rice krispie treat, the usual morning routine. He hardly ever wakes us up. I decide if he is going to eat all the rice krispie treat I better get him to take some medicine. He put up a fight but finally took it. And yes he did keep it down. Thankfully he got his appetite back somewhat today. He was playing and singing and just having a good ole' time. Well... he is playing with his puzzles and I look over to him and I know that look when he has had an accident and he says "I gotta go to the bathroom." So we hurry to the bathroom only to find he has diarrhea. Oh boy was that fun to clean up off me, Konner and the bathroom floor. After that episode he settles down a little and lays on the living room floor and rests while he watches Scooby Doo. He gets up a little while later and asks for some candy. We don't like for him to have candy on a day to day basis. Only on special occasions, which is not very often. We tell him that if he finishes his lunch that he could have a Hershey's Kiss. I was doing some scrapbooking at the bar and Dan was in the bedroom watching football and we hear Konner trying to open the pantry door where we keep the garbage can. I look up to see him with a handful of chips. I said quickly, "What do you think you are doing?" He replies with a big, huge smile, "Throwing my chips away." Uh huh! Caught ya!! Dan and I and Konner started cracking up laughing. He knew what he was doing and he knew we knew about his little scheme. That little stinker was going to throw away his lunch so we would think he ate it all so he could get a piece of candy. Gotta give it to the kid. Trying to turn one over on us. He is one smart boy. He did get a piece of candy because he did finish his lunch.

The Moon

Konner is always trying to find the moon and show us where it is when we are driving at night. A few nights ago we were driving home and he says, "Mommy, there's the moon." It was a bright, big, beautiful moon that night. I replied with, "Oh, hey moon!" Konner tells the moon hey also. A few minutes later I asked him if the moon said 'hey' back. With a little attitude of 'don't you know Mom' Konner says, "Mommy, the moon can't talk. It doesn't have a mouth, or a nose, or eyes, or ears to hear us."

Romans Chapter 13

Romans 13

Submission to the Authorities 1Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. 3For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you. 4For he is God's servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God's servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. 5Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also because of conscience. 6This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God's servants, who give their full time to governing. 7Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.
Love, for the Day is Near 8Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for he who loves his fellowman has fulfilled the law. 9The commandments, "Do not commit adultery," "Do not murder," "Do not steal," "Do not covet,"[a] and whatever other commandment there may be, are summed up in this one rule: "Love your neighbor as yourself."[b] 10Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
11And do this, understanding the present time. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. 12The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. 13Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. 14Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the sinful nature.

We have to stand up!!!

I was woken up this morning with a phone call from my friend asking me if I had heard the news. The news that Barack Obama has won the election and will be president of the United States. My heart sank!! How could this be? What is America thinking? They aren't thinking that what it is. They have fallen into his trap and will soon realize who he really is and what he truly stands for. Buckle up y'all because we are going to take a ride. Why would we elect a islamic president, on a Christian based nation? When the book of our nation is supposed to be the Bible but yet the book of Islam is the quran?

I called my mom on my way to work and asked if she had heard the news. She told me to look up Deuteronomy 17:15. So when I got to work I did and here is what it said, (This is from the BIBLE. The book that we ALL should abide by. Not bits and pieces of it. ALL the book from cover to cover. We can't pick and choose what parts to believe and what parts not to believe.)

'be sure to appoint over you the king the LORD your God chooses. He must be from among your own brothers. Do not place a foreigner over you, one who is not a brother Israelite.'

I sent this verse in an email. A lady that I work with that I looked up to because of her 'christianity' and beliefs emailed me back and said, "It was the right choice." I still do not know what to say back to her. I am not going to reply back. How could anyone be ok with killing unborn babies and take money from those who have worked their whole lives to get to where they are and BAM! in a blink of an eye it's gone. These people will do this without even thinking. This makes me sick to my stomach to think about. That boggles my mind!! Really!

We are getting away from the Christian values and principles. This country was brought up by Christian founders. What happened?? It is sad to even bring a child into this world today. I will not teach my child other than what the Bible teaches and commandments God himself gave us. That is the LAW!! Put your full trust in LORD not man.

We as Chrisitans need to pull together and bring this back. We all need to pray. Pray alot and pray hard for Obama and his followers. Pray that God will convict their hearts and speak through us Chrisitans for them to see. We need to be the light for these people. Let us show them how great and Mighty our God is. We can change this world back to what our founders intended it to be and what God wants it to be. The power of prayer can change our nation and our American people. FEAR the Lord your God!! Let your voices be heard!!!!

I cast my vote!

As we all know, today was the voting day. I hope you all went out and voted today. It is our right and duty as American's to stand up for this country. What was this country founded on? What did our forefathers do for this country? This is where we started. Let's not forget this. Let us not ever vote because of what others are saying. Read up on the past of these candidates and know who they are and what they believe in and what they will bring this country. Watch the debates and TV. It is all over. Tomorrow will bring a change no matter what the outcome. If you are not registed to vote I urge you to go register ASAP. Your vote matters. It will and does make a difference. But ultimately know that GOD is the real maker and ruler of ALL the earth and will continue to be. There is no voting for that. Don't take this for granted!! Let's stand up Christians for what we believe in!! VOTE!!

One successful week

We have been working with Konner on potty training for what seems like forever now. Last weekend he stayed in 'big boy' underwear all weekend and only had one accident. So come Monday morning I asked him if he wanted to wear a pull-up or 'big boy' underwear to school and he chose big boy underwear. YAY!!! I pick him up and was thinking that he surely had an accident during the day. Much to my surprise he did not have a single accident. I was so proud of him I took him straight to the store and bought him a car. The whole week he only had about 3 or 4 accidents. He loves to wash his hands so he usually tells us he has to go to the bathroom just so he can wash them. We went to Hooter's tonight and he told us he needed to go to the bathroom and we both thought 'Yeah right, he just wants to wash his hands.' We were wrong. He went to the bathroom and then washed his hands and then washed them again. I had to drag him out of the bathroom. We weren't at the table 5 minutes and he said he had to use the bathroom again so I made Dan take him and all he wanted to do was wash his hands, which is not a bad thing. We are glad he likes to wash his hands. We are so proud of our little boy that is growing up so quick!!
