Judgment to Rush

Quilting for Soldiers

Today was my first time attending a group hosted by blue star moms that meets once a month to make quilts for our wounded Soldiers. We send the quilts we make to Quilts of Valor. I had a blast! It was nice to enjoy the company of other quilters while supporting our Heroes. I added a ChipIn to the right and below if any one is interested in donating fabric money for the quilts my group makes.

Obama and ?Change?

I would have to say that this is probably one of my favorite Stoplights. Please take a look....

The Huckabee Report

I encourage you to tune in to Mike Huckabee's most recent venture called The Huckabee Report. I just started watching it this week and am hooked. Huckabee keeps you up to date with current events with a witty point of view. If you miss it on the radio you can check it out on his site under the On Demand link. Below is a snippet from his show.

The Huckabee Report
January 13, morning commentary

Cecilia Velazquez has won a 2200$ Prize from the Mexican government for the worst example of pointless red tape. Every 2 weeks she needs a prescription refill for her sick son. And to get it she has to obtain 7 bureaucrats signatures. It takes at least 4 days each time. Still want the government to manage your health care?

Stoplight - Yes Pecan!

Huckabee on Israel...

I found this excellent article on Israel by Mike Huckabee discussing Israel and why they have a right to defend themselves.

Israel - by Mike Huckabee

The intensifying military situation along the Israeli border has kept my attention the past few days. I have made 10 trips to that area, the most recent in August. I’m including some photos from that trip, including some from my meeting with former and likely future Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as well as some photos of my standing on a rooftop in Sderot, just across the border from Gaza and the area that has suffered the most of the rockets fired from Hamas positions in Gaza. In one of the photos, you will see a small sample of the retrieved rockets that were fired into people’s homes, parks, and public streets. Despite a so-called “truce,” Hamas continued to launch over 8400 rockets into Sderot through August alone. Given the population of this Israeli community, the odds were 1 in 17 that you would be hit by a Hamas rocket.

Some do not understand the delicate nature of this situation. Here is the simple picture: Hamas is not a legitimate government, but a terrorist organization. Israel has the right not only to exist, but to expect some level of security. The borders are not miles away, but mere meters away. Those of us in the United States would never tolerate having Osama Bin Laden setting up shop 300 yards from our homes and allowing his thugs and terrorists fire rockets at our children’s schools or into the roofs of our homes. The Israeli’s shouldn’t be expected to tolerate that either.

Israel is doing what we would do---what they SHOULD do—to let Hamas and the rest of the world know that they will protect themselves and not allow a rogue government to attack them. Pray for the “peace of Jerusalem” and the rest of the world as we start this new year.
