ENOUGH! When Are We Going to Say Enough?!

Picture of a Nativity statue in front of the Provo, UT Temple.



Small factions of society say,


"You cannot post the 10 Commandments in public places."


"You cannot put up Nativity scenes during the holidays in or on government owned properties."


"You cannot raise white crosses along the Interstate road system designating the demise of public servants."



When will the rest of us who are god-fearing Christians stand up and say, "ENOUGH!" "SILENCE."



Okay, so if we-the majority are going to be soooo tolerant as to let others kick us around, then can we at the very least, every church put up Nativity scenes? Can we, at the very least, post a billboard on Church property with at least one of the Ten Commandments and change it out every month or so?


We are a Christian nation, i.e. a nation founded by Christian believing and practicing individuals. Really people, it's okay. Let's put our $ where our hearts are and get the ball moving on this!



Love this song:
More of Us by Trace Adkins

Seems like everytime I turn around
Another Ten Commandments is comin' down
As if this country revolves around
The people who hate my God

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e48323-trace_adkins~more_of_us_lyrics.html ]
They want Him out of the courthouse
And out of the schools
Off the airways and under the pews
I think it's time we remind those fools
Of something that they forgot

That there's more of us
Than there are of them
Don't you think we've taken enough
Of all this givin' in
It's ‘bout time for pushin' back
Watcha say we take a stand
I'm talkin to my Red, White, and Blue
Tried and true proud American friends
Remember there's more of us
Than there are of them

Now listen

I know we've learned to talk the talk
But now it's time we walk the walk
With one voice we oughta call a halt
To the madness in D.C.
We gotta change the course they've got us on
Double check whose side they're really on
Seems to me they've got this country wrong
It belongs to you and me

That's right

Yeah there's more of us
Than there are of them
Don't you think we've taken enough
Of all this givin' in
It's ‘bout time for pushin back
Watcha say we take a stand
I'm talkin to my Red, White, and Blue
Tried and true proud American friends
Remember there's more of us
Than there are of them

Yeah

I think it's ‘bout time for takin' back
Whatcha say we take a stand
I'm talkin to my Red, White, and Blue
Tried and true proud American friends
Remember there's more of us
There's a whole lot more of us
Than there are of them

FAVORITE CHILDHOOD SONGS

My favorite childhood songs were the ones my mama taught me. 1) One day as I was seated on the subway, my high silk hat, my high silk hat; I laid it on the seat beside me, my high silk hat, my high silk hat; A big (sung in deep voice) fat lady came and sat upon it, my high silk hat, my high silk hat (sung in high pitch tiny voice); A big (sung in deep voice) fat lady came and sat upon it, my high silk hat, my high silk hat (sung in high pitch tiny voice); Christopher Columbus now what do you think of that? A big fat lady sat upon my hat! She broke my hat, now what’s the joke? She broke my hat, now what’s the joke? Christopher Columbus now what do you think of that? 2) The golden sun sinks in the west, Great Spirit calls all scouts to rest. We’ve had our work, We’ve had our play And we have lived, The true scout way. Upon my honor, I will try, To do my duty, To God on high, To help all other people out, And live the life of a real Girl Scout. 3) I had a little parasol long, long ago. A

The Measure of a Man

I loved this song. It was sung by Brett Raymond and it gave me a tremendous sense of where young men need to center themselves. The whole tape (yes, I have a cassette) is great, but this song speaks volumes. I played it often when my boys were teens-as much for me as for them. My youngest son even sang it at a program once-ah heaven-maybe some of it was getting where I really wanted it to go! The Measure of a Man comes from the album of the same name. It is by Clive Romney and friends. I have the hologram sticker that came with it. On the back of the jacket to the cassette case it says: "Though beautiful in any light, this holographic cover is most beautiful when viewed by the light of the sun. Life, likewise, is most beautiful when viewed by the light of the Son. Try it!" Is it the width of your shoulders how tall you stand Or how far you tip the scale The size of your biceps the strength of your hands Your prowess in games of skill Is it the style of your hair, the way that

A Cerulean Blue Ice Cream

Image
  Being a grandma, I have a tendency to like to ‘kidnap’ one of our grand kids and take them out for an ice cream. Not just because I love my grand kids and want to establish a relationship with them, but also because I like ice cream. You learn a lot of things from your kids if you watch and interact with them. Things like you can’t leave a three-year old unsupervised with scissors for very long. Disaster is definitely going to happen. Or with a permanent marker…around leather furniture. That kind of learning from your kids. Guess what?! The learning goes on with grand kids too! I took a grandson out for an ice cream. Small shop, 31 flavors of ice cream to choose from. With so very many options to choose from, the choice can be overwhelming. He chose his favorite color. He loves cerulean blue, so it stands to reason, in the mind of a young child, that the ice cream flavor had to be as endearing to him as the color was. He ordered it, was handed it and took a lick and before I ev
