"I've got a wonderful feeling…"

What a beautiful morning and how wonderful it is to wake up with a smile.
We have moved. Our house unfortunately will be another house sitting vacant, decaying, weathered, and shattered. Our battle with the bank is over, we played every card, we gambled, we presented our strategy and all to no avail. November 2011 was dark, shadowed by my husband's father's death, he raged, I withdrew. Amongst our friends and family, around a table of plenty, a house of love and warmth, laughter and memories, a blessing and remembrance of the children's "Gramps" we were unmoved by each other, silent.
I found company with our weekend guest, a friend from college, one of my husband's groomsmen. I found company in his attentiveness to the children, playing a game of monopoly that was stationed on the table for two full days. I laughed when he laughed. My husband begged for the same attention and I secretly cried for my husband to want to be my friend, to want to roll dough with me, to want to sit and talk about old times, to want me.
I was pregnant, trying to figure out what on earth God was thinking. I wanted to escape, move, leave, find a place of refuge.
December was dull, Christmas was frugal without the fun. The kids felt it.
January came and Cory damaged his knee, not the first time but this time an injury that wouldn't heal with rest. I spent hours searching for any home that would hold us, a three bedroom home was out of the question and four bedroom homes were scarce.
Well what I am getting at is it is a beautiful morning, there is a serene and joyful view when the storm has blown over and the puddles are drying. Last night's storm frightened me, thinking of the power of my Creator. I can feel His Almighty hands pushing us away from the edge of destruction.

The view here on the farm is a glorious one and I am grateful, I am grateful, I am grateful, blessed and trusting God's plan for me.

These are Fightlin words…Miriam Fightlin's that is..

A slut is defined as someone who is sexually promiscuous. I didn't hear Rush's program, however I did read ALL of Ms. Fluke's testimony. Yes, that's right....every whiny little statement. It was like nails on a chalk board. Having to read about this "poor" woman, who has her panties all in a bundle (and on the floor, apparently) whining because she has sex so much that she can't even pay for her own birth control. Can you imagine that kind of suffering? Too bad Mother Theresa is dead. I am sure she would have left the streets of Calcutta, left her ministry to the poorest of the poor who were left to die in garbage dumpsters because they were so unloved and come here to The United States of America and scoop us these poor female Georgetown Law students who are in need of such basic "health care". Insert finger to throat here.

Well...boo-hoo. Do you know how many women would LOVE the opportunity to be attending Georgetown Law School? Maybe she should focus on the fact she is attending such a prestigious law school and spend her time studying so she can become a powerful force for good in this country!

This woman has the AUDACITY to go before a Congressional panel on national television and demand that we as a nation, no matter what our religious convictions or beliefs, pay for her to have sex with as many men as she wants without any natural consequences! And what does our media focus on?? They focus on the fact that we should be "outraged" because someone called her a name based on HER OWN publicly admitted behavior? She should own this name just as proudly as she proclaimed her testimony. Frankly, I think she is much worse that just a harmless "slut" who is just looking for love and attention in all the wrong places. She wants to legalize extortion and, worse, make ME her pimp! She is getting all the bang for my buck! She is demanding, along with our president, that we as a nation hand over our money and our conscience (and the money and conscience of a Church that is morally opposed) so she can have sex whenever with whomever she wants, even if that means that poor people will go without the services they need, homeless people will go without shelter, and sick people will go without care because Catholic organizations will be forced to shut down. I just can hear the conversation now, "Sorry Sir, you are going to have to sleep under that bridge tonight because I need to get my groove on!" What arrogance.

This whole HHS mandate against religious liberty really makes me think that the patients are running the asylum!

This is especially relevant and irritating, as March is women's history month. I just can't imagine what Susan B. Anthony must be thinking. Can you imagine? Here we had a woman who fought tirelessly for the right of women to vote and this Georgetown Law school student is fighting for the right to be someone's sexual toy......with our money and regardless of our conscience! Her testimony is proof that this "entitlement" mentality that the Republicans love to mention as a criticism of the Democrats should also include these smug elites.

Here we have an intelligent young woman who is attending Georgetown Law School, who has been given a huge opportunity to become a strong force in this world, demanding in front of a congressional panel on national television, that our entire nation pay for her, to spread her legs with as many men as possible without any natural consequences at the expense of shutting down services for the poor and truly needy in this country.

Immature and irresponsible men all over the country are smiling. Way to go Ms. Fluke, you have managed to be the fulfillment of every immature man's dream and they are applauding you. Thank God you DO NOT speak for me.
