Quotes for Life

"Pray also for me, that the message may be given to me when I open my mouth to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel. For this I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I might be bold enough in Him to speak as I should....My eager expectation and hope is that I will not be ashamed about anything, but that now as always, with all boldness, Christ will be highly honored in my body, whether be life or by death."~ The Apostle Paul: Eph 6:18-20; Phil 1:20

"Country music is about new love and it’s about old love. It’s about gettin’ drunk and gettin’ sober. It’s about leavin’ and it’s about comin’ home. It’s real music sung by real people for real people, the people that make up the backbone of this country. You can call us rednecks if you want. We’re not offended, ’cause we know what we’re all about. We get up and go to work, we get up and go to church, and we get up and go to war when necessary."

~ Jeff Foxworthy

"The most dangerous predator of liberals is the real world. They hide from it in college campuses."
~ www.imao.us

"To educate a person in mind and not in morals is to educate a menace to society."

~ Edna Ferber

"A liberal is a man too broadminded to take his own side in an argument."
~ Robert Frost

~Ann Coulter

"Feminism has nothing at all to do with being 'feminine.' Feminine means accentuating the womanly attributes that make women deliciously different from men. The feminine woman enjoys her right to be a woman. She has a positive outlook on life. She knows she is a person with her own identity and that she can seek fulfillment in the career of her choice, including that of traditional wife and mother."
~ Phyllis Schlafly

"Tolerance is the virtue of a man without convictions."
~ G. K. Chesterson

~ Margaret Thatcher

"What I felt like saying was, 'I've produced my third child and my sixth book since I last saw you. Aren't either of these things more important, more interesting, than my size?' But no - my waist looked smaller! Forget the kid and the book; finally, something to celebrate! Maybe this seems funny or trivial, but it's really not."
~ JK Rowling

"Dear Lord
Lest I continue
My complacent way
Help me to remember
Somehow out there
A man died for me today.
As long as there be war
I then must
Ask and answer
Am I worth dying for?"~Anon

~ Jerry Van Cook

"Remember that only in cheesy romance novels is the heroine guaranteed to find true love without the risk of vulnerability or pain."

"We do not fear censorship, for we have no wish to offend with improprieties or obscenities, but we do demand, as a right, the liberty to show the dark side of wrong, that we may illuminate the bright side of virtue."
~ from "The Birth of a Nation"

"Doesn't matter what the press says. Doesn't matter what the politicians or the mobs say. Doesn't matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right. This nation was founded on one principle above all else: The requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences. When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree besides the river of truth, and tell the whole world - No, you move."
~Captain America

"While God doesn’t promise tomorrow, he does promise eternity."
~ Tony Snow

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
~ John Stuart Mill

"I sought for the greatness and genius of America in her commodious harbors and her ample rivers, and it was not there. In the fertile fields and boundless prairies, and it was not there. In her rich mines and her vast world commerce, and it was not there. Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits, aflame with righteousness, did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great."
~ Alexis de Tocqueville

"I’ve got two daughters who will have to make their way in this skinny-obsessed world, and it worries me, because I don’t want them to be empty-headed, self-obsessed, emaciated clones; I’d rather they were independent, interesting, idealistic, kind, opinionated, original, funny - a thousand things, before ‘thin’. And frankly, I’d rather they didn’t give a gust of stinking chihuahua flatulence whether the woman standing next to them has fleshier knees than they do. Let my girls be Hermiones, rather than Pansy Parkinsons. Let them never be Stupid Girls."
~ J.K. Rowling

Wisdom from the Great Communicator, Ronald Reagan:
------------------------------
Politics and morality are inseparable. And as morality's foundation is religion, religion and politics are necessarily related. We need religion as a guide. We need it because we are imperfect, and our government needs the church, because only those humble enough to admit they're sinners can bring to democracy the tolerance it requires in order to survive.

Live each day to the fullest. Live each day with enthusiasm, optimism and hope. If you do, I am convinced that your contribution to this wonderful experiment we call America will be profound.

The dustbin of history is littered with remains of those countries that relied on diplomacy to secure their freedom. We must never forget...in the final analysis...that it is our military, industrial and economic strength that offers the best guarantee of peace for America in times of danger.

We will always remember. We will always be proud. We will always be prepared, so we may always be free.

Friday Randomness

I know this isn't new, but I thought it was pretty funny:

I went to an unaffiliated Christian high school, where there were students from every one of these groups. This brought back a lot of fun memories.
I'm still trying to figure out this whole couponing thing. Let's say I find a printable coupon for $1 off 3 box dinners. The coupon specifically says 1 coupon per item - not per transaction or per purchase. I'm buying 3 items, right? Can I print 3 coupons and save $3 on 3 boxes? Or am I only allowed to use one coupon still? My guess is not, but that would be sweet.

And, because I haven't stirred the pot enough today: Multi-Site Churches Are from the Devil Now, before you flip out at the hyperbolic title, I really recommend thoroughly reading the article AND the comments (because it was obvious from some of the responses that not everyone did). It's a really interesting discussion addressing some thoughts I've had rolling around in my head for a while.
The other night I was on the couch working and Jeb walked up and kept trying to either push the top down or push the laptop off my lap. It took me a while to catch on but eventually his point came across.

Yes, I was working.

About the coupons, as far as I know, you can only use 1 for the 3 boxes and most websites only allow you to print a coupon twice.

And I see you on pinterest! Lol hard work....lol

I am still trying to figure out the whole couponing thing as well. I do okay at it, but I think I could get better. I need to get a planner/organizer (or make one!) and use it. I need that organization in my life.

What a cute picture!!

For the coupon thing... $1 off the 3 boxes. If you have 2 coupons then you could get $2 off if you bought 6 boxes. So basically it is like getting 33.33 cents off each box but you have to buy in multiples of 3 and have a coupon for every 3. Make sense? I used to do a lot of coupon shopping when we were overseas. Every 6 months or so I would stock up on things like shampoo, soap, shaving cream, razors, toothpaste, etc.

And it looks like you are hard at work on pinterest!

I really enjoyed reading that post about multi-site churches. It brings up some very interesting points, and it goes along with a discussion that my husband and I have often. Oh, and the photo of Jeb in your lap is precious. What a big baby!

I loved that chart (I've never seen it before) I wonder where fundamentalist fit- possibly under evangelicals? I don't know. Thankfully the Lord has brought me from the crazy fundamentalist side to the reformed side of things. Also, have you looked at coupon closet? Thats a really easy site to follow for couponing- and when did couponing become a word/verb??
