Spring Fever

Today was gorgeous and sunny! I think its the first day all summer that I truly didn't need a jacket and not be at least a little chilled. So I did wear a sweater. I'm just glad I didn't see anyone walking around in a Colorado State sweatshirt, shorts and sandals...yet. :) Hey, its Colorado, right? You really can't be in Colorado without having some of our modern hippies walking around like that sporting their fancy dread-locks and hemp necklaces.


But really, it was so pretty today, I just needed some alone time with God. Some time to really devote to Him. So I went to a local park that is always a pleasure to go to no matter what time of year. There is a small lake with a walking path all around it with absolutely stunning landscaping. And birds of all kind love the park as well as the people. There is always an ample supply of both around, but neither seem to be intrusive. We all just live in harmony together like one big happy family. I believe the park was built in the early 1900s if not late 1800s. Whoever designed it really knew what they were doing, there's even a rock along the path to pay tribute to the specktacle.

I wasn't having a very good day today so as soon as Sybil layed down for a nap, I took off for my sabbatical. I brought a blanket, my bible, a notepad for journaling and my Strong's Exhaustive Concordance. After spreading out the blanket I layed down on a sunny patch of goose poop (okay, really it was grass, which even had a few green shoots popping out) and spent some time reading and writting in the word, and lifted a few burdens to the Almighty and prayed for about an hour.

The wind kicked up a bit and the sun began to set, as I was getting ready to leave. It was so peaceful though, I think if I had stayed any longer, I would have fallen asleep!

I really can't wait for the weather to be like today was - every day. I've been living in my town for nearly 5 years now and I never used to leave the house, so its only just within the last year or so that I have been discovering great spots like the one I visited today. I can't say its all been me, though, I have met some other nice young mother's like myself who have been helping. :)


My spring fever has officially sprung!

1 Cori9nthians 7

Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.

Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the huwsband.

The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.

Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.

But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.

For I would that all men were even as I of GOd, one after this manner, and another after that.

I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.

But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.

And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:

But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or let her reconcile to her husband; and let not the husband put away his wife.

Nut to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and he be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.

And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to swell with her, let her not leave him.

For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.

But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.

For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?

But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches.

Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised.

Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.

Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.

Art thou called being a servant? care not for it; but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.

For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ's servant.

Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.

Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.

Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgement, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.

I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.

Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.

But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you.

But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;

And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not;

And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.

But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:

But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.

There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.

And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.

But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry.

Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well.

So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better.

The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.

But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgement: and I think also that I have the Spirit of God.

Galatians 5:16-21

This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

Nopw the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

Idolatry, withchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

Envyings, murderers, drunkenness, revelings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in the time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Colorado Republican Caucus 2008

It was an interesting thing. My district's caucus was held in a small conference room at a local hotel where they expected maybe 30 people to show up. At least 200 people came and overwhelmed the small meeting space. Every few minutes a frazled looking woman would come out and yell some instructions at everyone but her frail voice was unable to reach all the people. Everyone I talked to had never been to a caucus before and had no idea what the purpose was or what the process would be. They had to divide us up into rooms and then asked us to cast our vote for the strawpull to see who would be on top of the Republican party. Then they invited anyone willing to share information about their party at the front of the room. One man came fprward and spoke a little bit about Ron Paul . Then another man, and another. No one else felt compelled to speak about their Presidential candidate. Then we moved on to selecting delegates.


Once we were done one woman asked the first man who spoke on Dr. Paul, why she had never heard about him before. The media never talks about him and she never thought to research the candidates herself. She regretted voting for someone else, whom she probably knew just as little bit about as Ron Paul.


I have requested every week at church that we pray for our nation, for our Presidential candidates, and that the Lord would give us a Christian Conservative like Ron Paul to lead our nation. Our country is being flushed down the drains by immoral Presidents who don't live up to their promises (sorry Bush). We need to stop our ties to other money hungry countries who really want to harm us. I wouldn't keep a dog who bit me every time I fed it and we should end our tied with the world based on this same principle.


Please pray for our country, pray for our leaders, and make wise and godly choices about our future. Please arm yourself with knowledge, and most importantly, please vote Ron Paul for President.

1 Peter 1

Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,

Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

To an inheritance incorruptable, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,

Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:

That the trial of your faith, being much more precious that of gold that perisheth, though it tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:

Recieving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.

Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:

Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.

Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.

Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

As obedient children, not fashioning yuourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:

But as he which hath called you is holy , so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;

Because it is written, BE YE HOLY FOR I AM HOLY.

And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:

Foreasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation recieved by tradition from your fathers;

But with the precious blood of Christ, as a lamb without blemish and without spot:

Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,

Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.

Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:

Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower therefore falleth away:

But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

1 Corinthians 11:1-16

Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.

Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.

But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.

But every woman that prayeth or prophesyeth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.

For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.

For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and the glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.

For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man.

Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.

For this cause ought the woman to have power on her because of the angels.

Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.

For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.

Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray to God uncovered?

Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?

But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.

But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.

2 Peter 1

Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through righteousness of God our Saviour Jesus Christ:
Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowlege of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
According as his divine power hath given unto all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitfull in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.
Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;
Knowing that shortly I must putt off this my tabernacle, even as out Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.
Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.
For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
For he recieved from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, THIS IS MY BELOVED SON, IN WHOM I AM WELL PLEASED.
And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.
We have also a more sure word of prophesy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
Knowing this first, that no prophesy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
For the prophesy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

PARENTAL RIGHTS ATTACKED IN SWAT TEAM ASSAULT

I first heard about this story from one of the ladies This blog entry is to tell you of something rather disturbing that I recieved notification about from my state. A Colorado family was grossly violated by a SWAT team called upon them by CPS because of a minor injury to their son in which the Paramedic Vietnam VET father could tell (because of his former training) that his son was not seriously injured.

Where are our rights these days? It seems that we are all being graded on a curved scale and the curve is in favor of anyone who does not agree with YOU!

The world's meanest mom

I think this article is great. Its too bad more parents aren't as "mean" as this lady. Of course if she really had her son's heart to begin with he never would have disobeyed her. Click on the title to see the article.

The book of Jude

Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called:
Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.

Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.

For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.

And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgement of the great day.

Even as Sodom and Gomoroha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.

Yet Michael the arcangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.

But these speak evil of those things which they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.

Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.

These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;

Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their shame; wandering stars. to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.

And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these saying, Behold, the Lord commeth with ten thousands of his saints,

To execute judgement upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against them.

These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men;s persons in admiration because of advantage.

But beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;

How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.

These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.

But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,

Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

And of some have compassion, making a difference:

And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,

To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

new haircut

Here is my new haircut. Since my hair is falling out and its dry and tangly, and oily. To me it looks gross and I finally got tired of dealing with it! SO last week I made an appointment to get it chopped off and here it is! I've had it like this before when I was first joined the Army. I have a few cow licks. One right at the hair line above my forehead, and the other right on the crown on my head. Plus its curly so with that combination and after a few days of having this hair style, I think it is a bit too short on top. I like the look in the back, but will definately let it grow out for a few months and play around with it to see what shape is going to be best to suit my hair's weirdness.
