WOW! Where has the time gone? Friday slipped by without a thought in my head - NO WAIT!!! I did think some that day - I just didn't take the time to write down anything. And now it is after midnight, so it is early Sunday morning.

Saturday was a busy day. Denise and Deborah walked in the Heritage Days Parade 2009 with the Huntington County TEA Party float. They handed out fliers telling of an upcoming rally on the 4th of July on the courthouse steps. It was a hot day in the neighborhood and Daniel, David and I sat on the east side of Jefferson Street and watched the parade.

At 2 pm, I volunteered a couple of hours to hand out information about the TEA Party Rally next weekend, as well as pocket-sized copies of the US Constitution. I told passersby about 4 petitions that were available to sign.

1. The Term Limit petition to establish term limits in the US Senate and the US Congress.
2. The 912 Project petition
3. The petition to Repeal Property Taxes
4. Petition to retain Sovereignty

These are 4 very important petitions that need to be passed to show our government that we are fighting for our country! Our country was founded on principles from God's Word and we as a nation need to get back to the original thoughts that made our country great. We can not sit idly by and watch our country go up in flames. We must know our Constitution and the rights that it gives us as citizens so that these rights will not be stolen from us. We must fight for our country!

Today was a good day and I am proud to be an American!

Today is a new day. I have been reading in 2 Kings this week. I started reading in Judges as a result of my wanting to study women of the Bible. Then I read Ruth, 1 & 2 Samuel, and then 1 Kings. It has been an interesting ride.

I am amazed at how many times God delivers Israel. Deuteronomy 28 plainly spells it out that Israel was to follow God and if they failed to "hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statues which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee." (Deut. 28:15). In the next 52 verses, the Bible lists the many plagues that would come upon the children of Israel for their disobedience.

Many times the Bible says that "Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord" and served Baalim or were delivered into the hands of a foreign king. Then "Israel cried unto the LORD" and God would hear their cry and deliver them. What a merciful God they had, and they weren't even sons!

Today we have the privilege of being Sons Of God With All Power (SOGWAP). God is the same God today that He was during the times that the Bible was recorded (Malachi 3:6). How much more we have than they! Our God gives mercy which means that He withholds due punishment. Our God gives grace which means that He gives us what we do not deserve.

Praise God for His goodness and His love.

This is the first day of blogging for me. I have never done this before, but I thought I would give it a try :)

Today is a good day. But it isn't good because of the things we are/are not doing - today is good because, "This is the day which the Lord hath made. We will rejoice and be glad in it." Psalms. 118:24. Praise God for His goodness and His love!

The sun in shining brightly as I sit by my window working on the computer. The window AC is at my back and is keeping me cool. I have chlorophyll water at my disposal to quench my thirst. Daniel is reading a book for one of his classes while reclining on the bed.

Tomorrow I will have more to write. Until then, have a good day :)
