Its been quite some time since I have been here. In fact, it has been almost three months! Shame on me!!
Now that that is out of the way, I just want to say that I am still more or less up on current affairs, though I rarely write a comment about them anymore. I think I got lazy more than anything, but part of it too is that I am not all that prepped and ready for the nastiness that comes from those who don't like my opinions. I mean, I don't agree with many people either, but I absolutely do not hate them and would never think of speaking to them as I have been spoken to by those who disagree with me. With all the changes in my life of late, I just don't have the backbone anymore.
Currently on the local level, we had a gas main out on a major thoroughfare in our town that rerouted traffic for hours and hours. On the state level, our governor is recovering from an accident that could have killed him, being that he was in the front seat of an SUV driven in excess of 90 mph and wearing no seat belt. A slight aside: I totally disagree with about 90% of what this man stands for and represents to me as a prolife, stay at home mom, but yet my heart went out to him and his family in compassion and prayer when I heard what had happened to him. I am glad that he is recovering well.
Also, on the state level, there was a major bust of a terror cell in my lovely state that makes me so thankful that there are many men and women willing to stay in thankless jobs such as law enforcement so that things of this nature can be rooted out. I am also proud of the regular citizen who saw something that seemed suspicious and did something about it rather than convincing himself it was none of his concern.
On the national level, we have the ongoing hatefest of so many people in Washington, the media, as well as the regular citizen on the street towards our President. Now that makes me ashamed. We have representatives declaring that Iraq is a war lost and the terrorists paint his picture (Senator Reid) all over Al-Jazeer to encourage their jihadists with his words of defeat. Do these people in Washington and our nation really think that we can live here unto ourselves? We will be searched out and destroyed again and again, sometimes right from within, because of this attitude of defeat of aura of hate for our own.
In the meantime, on the homefront, my last child is graduating high school this summer. What is a mother to do with the rest of her life, I ask you? ;-)
