Did you miss me?

It's been awhile since I logged on and posted something. I have been struggling with what to write, but watching TV tonight it dawned on me.

Tuesday will be a very big election day, probably the biggest and most important of my lifetime. I am going to post some opinions on the fast approaching election.

"Undecideds" - The campaigning for this election has been going on for a year or more, and if you are one of the booger eating morons who show up in the opinion polls as someone who is "undecided", do your community, your county, your state, and your nation a great big effing favor and stay home on Tuesday. Pull the shades, drink some coffee, eat some ice cream, pamper yourself. But for the love of all that is good and holy Do.Not.Vote. If you are incapable of choosing a candidate by now you are too ignorant to participate in an election of this magnitude, and I don't want my representation being decided by you flipping a freaking coin when you get in the booth.

"The View" watchers - Same for you. If you find entertainment in watching those imbecilic left-wing dolts, I don't want you deciding the future of this nation either.

Since it's pretty obvious I'm a conservative, (it's in the subtitle of the blog fer cryin out loud) I also think that if you are not paying taxes, or if you receive more support than you pay in you also should stay home. In fact, I don't think you should be allowed to vote. PERIOD. Why? Because the Founders fought a war and sacrificed their fortunes and security because they were being taxed and had no say in how things were being run. (Remember your Schoolhouse Rock? "Hey! That's taxation without representation! And that's not fair!") Well, for all those who are not paying taxes, that's representation without taxation, and that's not fair either!

I think property owners are entitled to TWO votes.

While I'm at it, I believe you need to prove that you are a legal citizen of the United States before you are handed a ballot. Sue me. For that matter I think you should be required to prove that you are a natural born citizen before you get your name put on a ballot to run for President. I am a proponent of impeachment in case you haven't figured it out.

I think there should be an exam for everyone who wants to vote. The same exam that is given to immigrants going through the naturalization process. It is a basic civics and history exam. Pass it or you don't vote. Pretty effing simple. (Go here and see how YOU do.)

I believe early voting is unconstitutional.

I believe our men and women of the armed forces should vote before civilians do, and to deny them a ballot is treason punishable by hanging. In public.

I think electronic voting machines are bullshit. We should have to write the name of the candidate of our choice on the ballot. Spelling counts. If you cant do that, re-read above.

I believe people like Michael Moore, Joy Behar, Bill Maher, and all of the left-wing idiots Hollywood know-it-alls should just shut their effing cake holes.

I think the second amendment is my 'right to carry' permit. I think an armed society is a polite society.

There is probably a lot more I have to say about this, but it's giving me a headache.

So, if you have been living is a got damn cave for the last year, stay there until Wednesday, will ya? Mmmmkay?

There is so much going on...

...but nothing worth blogging about.

The kids have kept us busy with football, but that is nearing an end. Joe has one more game, and Andrew and Daniel have two more. It has been a lot of fun watching them play this year.

We had football Thursday night for Joe, homecoming was Friday night, Andrew and Daniel played Saturday morning, and Saturday afternoon, Joe and I drove to Durand, IL and picked up a WSM (Weber Smokey Mountain). It is my preferred BBQ pit, and this one makes my sixth WSM. Of course, I have the oldest WSM in the world and it has been retired, now sitting in the rafters of the garage. Maybe Weber would want it. So I have 5 that I can use. Maybe I'll flip it.

Now that I have it home, I suppose I should clean it up and cook on it, at least once. The Badgers are late next week (Ohio St come to town) and I guess maybe that would be a good excuse to throw something on.

My dad has been in a lot of pain lately. An issue with one of his hips. It's hard to see him hurting because he has always been the strong one. Doesn't let pain show. He is always available whenever someone needs help. He is truly a great guy, a great Christian, and a great great dad. He goes to see an orthopedic specialist tomorrow, so hopefully they can find what the deal is. If it is in your wheelhouse, say a prayer for him and his doctor.

Have a great week everybody.

How Great is Our God?

Let me tell you people, if you do not have a loving relationship with the Creator God and His Son Jesus Christ you do not know what you are missing.

A beautiful woman in our congregation was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. This is usually terminal. We have been in prayer for her since we first learned of her condition.

Yesterday her team of caregivers biopsied her cancer to determine the course of treatment. What they found was shocking. (Well, shocking to some, but not to those who knew God would be glorified in all of this!)

She does not have pancreatic cancer! (can you imagine the surprise of the medical staff?) The biopsy showed that she has a totally treatable lymphoma. She will still need to undergo chemo, but she will likely beat it.

Believe people. Believe. Believe in miracles. Believe that the God of the universe hears you. Believe when you feel drawn to Him. Believe when He speaks to you. He is REAL. He loves you with an unfathomable love. He does not want any to perish.

Come to Him. He will give you rest!
