MEXICAN FOOD, DANCING & DADDY IS HOME

SO SOME OF MY FRIENDS TOOK ME OUT FOR MY BIRTHDAY LAST NIGHT. WE WENT TO ON THE BORDER! KAREN TELLS THE WAITER IT IS MY BIRTHDAY...AFTER EXPLAINING TO EVERYONE I WAS PREGNANT, ETC...THEY SAID WHO CARES YOU ARE GETTING IN THIS CHAIR, SO I MADE KAREN GET UP THERE WITH ME. THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT THEY ANNOUNCED I WAS 22. I DIDN'T TELL THEM THAT AGE, SO HEY I GUESS I AM LOOKING YOUNGER! LOL! THE BAD NEWS IS WE HAD TO SHAKE IT HOLDING A SALT AND PEPPER SHAKER WHILE THEY SANG HAPPY B-DAY TO ME. AS I WAS ON THE CHAIR, I SCANNED THE ROOM AND AM PRETTY SURE I DIDN'T KNOW ANYONE. HA!
IT WAS FUN, SO THANKS KAREN!
SCOTT HAS BEEN IN COLORADO ELK HUNTING WITH MY DAD SINCE LAST THURSDAY AND HE GOT HOME AT 4:00AM. I WAS SO GLAD TO SEE HIM EVEN AT THAT HOUR. I HAVE TO SAY THAT MY MOM SPOILED ME WHILE SHE STAYED WITH ME. SHE CLEANED HOUSE, DID LAUNDRY AND DISHES. I TOLD SCOTT HE BETTER COME HOME BEFORE I TRADED HIM FOR MOM. LOL!!!

PRAYER FOR OUR NATION

Subject: Billy Graham's Prayer
Billy Graham's Prayer For Our Nation

Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to
seek your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, 'Woe to those
who call evil good,' but that is exactly what we have done. We have lost our
spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values. We have exploited the
poor and called it the lottery. We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare. We have killed our unborn and called it choice. We have shot abortionists and
called it justifiable. We have neglected to discipline our children and called it
building self esteem. We have abused power and called it politics. We
have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition. We have polluted the
air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression. We
have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it
enlightenment. Search us, Oh God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us
from every sin and Set us free. Amen!'


Commentator Paul Harvey aired this prayer on his radio program, 'The
Rest of the Story,' and received a larger response to this program than any
other he has ever aired. With the Lord's help, may this prayer sweep over our
nation and wholeheartedly become our desire so that we again can be called 'One
nation under God.

WE ALL NEED TO PRAY FOR OUR LEADERS ESPECIALLY THIS PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION THAT GOD'S WILL BE DONE...I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT I AM GETTING TIRED OF PEOPLE PROTESTING TO TAKE GOD OUT OF SCHOOL, GOVERNMENT, ETC...WE NEED TO GET BACK TO ONE NATION UNDER GOD!!!!
