Billy Graham

Commentator Paul Harvey aired Billy Graham's prayer on his radio program, 'The Rest of the Story,' and received a larger response to this program than any other he has ever aired.

Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, 'Woe to those who call evil good,' but that is exactly what we have done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values. We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery. We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare. We have killed our unborn and called it choice. We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable. We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self esteem. We have abused power and called it politics. We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression. We have ridiculed the time -honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment. Search us, Oh God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and Set us free. Amen!
I feel this is good for everyone to hear and think about.

Wholesale Insurance

As we grew older we learned more about insurance. It can be very confusing for many. We have spent sometime trying to explain the types of insurance that are out there and available, to our children. When it comes to life insurance wholesaleinsurance.net has you covered. The term life insurance at Wholesale Insurance is affordable and can save a person money. Protecting your family and business is important. Don't put off covering your loved ones.

Christmas Decor

We usually put up our Christmas decorations the weekend following Thanksgiving. This year was no exception. Due to the changes we have made in our family room, we needed to purchase a more slender tree. This one is taller and very full. I was very pleased when we got it put up. It fit in the area we needed it too, so well. It is perfect. We also decided to go with a different look and choose burgundy and gold instead of the Christmas reds. It's nice for a change.

Christmas Lighting

The past few years we have hung some icicle lights on our house gutter. Bill never wanted to decorate like that but I talked him into it. We only hang the lights on the back of the house and it takes about 1/2 hour to do the job. We use a timer so that we don't have to walk outside to turn the lights on and off. We found a box of new lights downstairs that we must have purchased on sale at some point. They are now up and ready to use.

Flat Panel TV

We have several televisions in our home. Actually we have too many. Most are the old, heavy style but we do have a flat panel type too. I think I prefer the flat panel over the old ones partly because they are attractive, but also due to the fact that they can be moved easily. If we have to move it, it doesn't take several people to do the job. Whoever thought of the flat panel idea, good job!

Denver Restaurants

There are a lot of great places to see and visit in this wonderful country. Denver, Colorado is now exception. Its fast pace and up to date style is an added plus. The Denver Magazine will share the awesome highlights of this fine Mile High City. The setting is amazing with the Rocky Mountains near her. The beauty there is breath taking and they have so much to offer. The Denver Restaurants have some of the finest chef's in the world. The food is endless. The Colorado breweries and vineyards supply some of the greatest beer and unique wines to be found anywhere. This is definitely a location worth visiting.

Facebook

My kids have been involved in what they called Facebook. At first I wasn't aware of what they were talking about. It seemed more geared towards the college aged kids. Soon they were allowing high school age and then adults became involved. My daughter kept prodding me to start up my own account with Facebook. She said it was a great way to stay in touch and share photos with one another. Soon she helped me set up my account and away I went. I really enjoy it now. It is a quick and easy way to stay in touch with family and friends. I wish everyone would take part.

Prayer In Schools

I received this in my email today. I thought it was very good. I wanted to share it with all of you.

WRITTEN BY A 15 yr. Old SCHOOL KID IN ARIZONA :

New Pledge of Allegiance (TOTALLY AWESOME) !

Since the Pledge of Allegiance
And
The Lord's Prayer
Are not allowed in most
Public schools anymore
Because the word 'God' is mentioned....
A kid in Arizona wrote the attached

NEW School prayer :
Now I sit me down in school
Where praying is against the rule
For this great nation under God
Finds mention of Him very odd.

If Scripture now the class recites,
It violates the Bill of Rights.
And anytime my head I bow
Becomes a Federal matter now.

Our hair can be purple, orange or green,
That's no offense; it's a freedom scene.
The law is specific, the law is precise.
Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.

For praying in a public hall
Might offend someone with no faith at all.
In silence alone we must meditate,
God's name is prohibited by the state.

We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks,
And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks..
They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible.
To quote the Good Book makes me liable.
We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,
And the 'unwed daddy,' our Senior King.
It's 'inappropriate' to teach right from wrong,
We're taught that such 'judgments' do not belong.

We can get our condoms and birth controls,
Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles.
But the Ten Commandments are not allowed,
No word of God must reach this crowd.

It's scary here I must confess,
When chaos reigns the school's a mess.
So, Lord, this silent plea I make:
Should I be shot; My soul please take!
Amen

My son Jake is on a business trip out in Los Angeles. He recently spent some time in the Laguna Beach area. A VP of a company out there took him out to an amazing restaurant. It looks like it is quite beautiful. It also sounds like they are having wonderful weather also.

Black Friday

With the shape of the economy, now more then ever people are looking for ways to save money and find great deals. For years we didn't venture out to shop on Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving. It seemed that you would need to be out there early to catch the awesome deals. The past couple of years we have decided to travel out and see what we could find. We always return home with some fabulous stuff. What great prices a person can find on that day. It is definitely worth going out.

Driving Skills

This winter has already shown its bad side. We have had snow and ice which has caused driving problems in the area. This past week several vehicles were in the ditches and kept wreckers and law officers quite busy. It shows us that people need to keep up on their driving skills for times like this. Many have driving issues when the weather is good too, but in the winter it can be more of a challenge driving.

Promises Treatment Center

It seems every time we turn on the television there's a new story of someone struggling with addictions of some sort. It's so sad and makes me wish that these people knew where to find help. I would suggest anyone with an addiction problem....alcohol, cocaine, codeine, heroin, marijuana, methamphetamine, or something else.....look into Promises Treatment rehab center where they can help you get your life back on track. For more information you can visit their site.

Keeping Warm

I have written about our new fireplace before but I really can't say enough about it. We have enjoyed sitting in the addition at night, being kept warm by the gas fireplace. It is very functional and looks great too. It has a remote control feature so all we need to do is push a button to start it up. A fan runs until the fire is off and the unit is cooled down. We absolutely love it.

Diet Pills

A large percent of Americans are looking for a healthier lifestyle. With the hustle and bustle of life, they are grabbing that quick fix when it comes to their eating habits. Most of the fast foods are filled with calories and fat. There are many solutions out there on the market, from diet pills to weight loss surgeries. It's easy to browse and find a solution you are looking for.

Hippo

One of our dog Zoe's favorite toys is her stuffed hippo. It is several years old and has been stitched up because the stuffing was coming out. It is also missing an ear. I have no idea where that went. It stinks quite badly but Zoe really doesn't seem to mind. I think it might be time to throw it in the wash. Zoe even knows the toy by name. We can say 'go get your hippo' and away she will go to get it. I can't remember where we got it, but if I happen to see another, I am buying it.
Picture: The hippo is something like this money....

Las Vegas Hotels

Through out the years we have done quite a bit of traveling. It was always the high light of the year to take our family vacation. One summer we traveled out to California and Las Vegas NV. Las Vegas was like nothing we had ever seen before. The las vegas hotels are amazing in themselves. Each one is uniquely different from the next. There was so much to see and do there. We had a great time.

Just A Peek

This morning it was raining and the forecast mentioned that four letter word 'snow'. I know that isn't the word I wanted to hear like so many of you. Right now, however, the sun is peeking out and it is actually quite pleasant outside. Could it be that the weather station is wrong? Surely that can't be the case! I hope they are wrong about the weather. I want to see more of the nice weather we have been having.

New Look

We now have a new look in our family room. We recently had a gas fireplace installed and yesterday we had the job completed by having the mantel attached. It is absolutely beautiful. I don't like cold weather but I have to say that I am actually looking forward to a cool night so I can turn on the fireplace. I know that sounds terrible but it is true.

Black Friday

Years ago I never had any desire to shop on black friday. I had heard of the all the crowds and really did not want to venture out in them. Then one year my daughter convinced me that the sales were too good to pass up. We went out, and ever since we have not missed a year! Black Friday is just too good of a shopping day to pass up. Wouldn't you agree?? It's the best shopping day of the year...especially with the holidays following so close behind it! I have to say that Christmas gifts are what I'm mainly shopping for on this day. I can't help but find things for myself as well. There are just so many great deals that no one could pass up!

This year I'm particularly interested in finding Babies R Us Deals as well as many others. I have two Grandbabies who will be 1 at Christmas time and they are so much fun to shop for. It will be fun to find great sales so I'm able to buy them more. I went online looking to see if my favorite stores have put out their Black Friday ads and they had not yet. However, I did come across a great Black Friday site that wants to help shoppers like myself save money and dodge the huge crowds of people on this very popular shopping day by giving people the chance to shop online. They allow people to list their e-mail addresses so that they can be contacted when ads are put out. I am definitely going to do this, as it really helps with planning out my shopping for that day.

If you'd like to learn more about this site, check it out today and see if it's something you'd find helpful on Black Friday!

Warmth vs Cold

It has been unusually warm the past few days. Temps have been as high as the 70's. They are saying that tomorrow will be another nice day for us and then it is suppose to turn. We have chances of freezing temperatures by the weekend. I guess we may be using our new fireplace soon. Not that I am in a hurry for winter, because I'm not.

Blackberry Plants

I have been looking into living a healthier lifestyle. My husband and I both feel as we grow older we need to watch our weight and become more physically fit. With that in mind we have been hearing that the safest foods to eat are those from plants and trees and not man made foods processed in plants. A person can grow their own plants such as Blackberry plants and fruit trees. We have found that home grown garden veggies are some of the most flavorful.
