Here is my little blurb that I wanted to share.
Now that it is snowing out here in MI, I am getting excited for the holidays and the things to come. I am excited to replenish/restore/recreate/create/establish holiday traditions for our family. Its an exciting time to think about what we are thankful for and how God has truly blessed us throughout the year.

Had to do it....
I know a lot of people won't agree with is email! However, for a kid who never thought in his lifetime, we would be able to put aside slavery, racism, and the invisible ceiling of where black people and women can go... we did it November 4th. American, yet again, has made history and elected the first black man into office... congratulations Barack Obama!
Now, what is really funny to me about people is the way we react is things. Example #1, gas prices are now down to a low and we are praising the oil gods like they did us a favor. But if you look back, the gas was this way only about a year ago. The barrel of oil price is lower however, the price of gas is higher than it was a year ago. Why are we happy, when actually the oil companies are still making profit on the barrel of oil, and still charging us more. Gas should be clearly under 2 bucks... if the reason why it got so high in the first place, was the cost of the barrel. Why are we not mad?
If you look around the world, the diversity of leaders in other nations are people of color, women, and minorities. America is the land of choice and freedom right? Just got our first taste of diversity in office and some American can predicting the end of the world. Why is America so behind and not upset about it?
His nation is on it way to hell in a hand basket. Schools are bad, banks can't be trusted, corporations are fail because of bad decisions, and CEO's are leaving with millions. Why is this behavior acceptable. Where are all those AMERICANS that what to pray!! Why are we not mad about this?
These are not problems that have happen in 2 days....

Does November 4th really matter....
America is on its way to the crapper and we are spending billions to elect someone who really can't do anything for us anyway. Whether it is Big Mac or Barack, this country has moved away from its real ruler anyway. Built on the saying "in God we trust", but do we? No matter who wins the big seat, things are not going to change overnight. We took pray out of school and they are circling out of control. We allow "in your face" sin to mount, in even the laws we pass. Place our God on Wall Street and it seems that its was as strong as the opinion of others. We only cry to our lord when we are attacked or something bad happens. Everything that is happening to us right now can be found in the scriptures:
Proverbs 1:24-26
Proverbs 1:24-26
24Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
25But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
26I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
We cry out, why has God done this to us... when really I believe its mocking time.
