KING OF QUEEN OF QUITE A LOT

I looked and it has been almost an entire year since my last entry.  This, of course, is according to my master plan.  For it is a well known fact that when one has constant delusions of grandure, it is best to rest from time to time.  Anyhow, there are many things new in our lives over the past year.  For one, my wife has found it entertaining to point out the three gray hairs I have grown recently.  This , naturally, could be expected from a spouse uncomfortable with her own chronilogical advancements.  Also new is a strange, yet painful, fetish she has developed for plucking out my wild eyebrow hairs that seem to be a never-ending cause of irritation for her.  This seems strange to me, as I do not quite grasp the fascination one has with another persons follicle annomilies when said annomolies have no bearing at all on that persons well-being what-so-ever.  Oh well………the mysteries of a woman are indeed a deep and dark place I choose not to venture into. 

For those familiar with my pultry butchering horrors, you will be glad to hear that since my last posting,  I, along with some friends, succesfully butchered a whole bunch of chickens, a goose and …………a turkey.  It went well and I am happy to report that none of my children will be in need of therapy this time around.  Speaking of children, the most exciting news is that we are expecting triplets.  We are adopting two children from Liberia and a third child from Liberia is now with us.  She is a beautiful girl that has brought as much joy and happiness to our family as each of our other children did when they were born. The good Lord brought all these children into our lives and into our family and I am literally in awe of what He is doing.  Soon our other two children will be here as well and we will then be a family of eight.  If anyone is considering adoption, I must reccomend that you seek the Lord and allow Him to lead were He leads and be prepared for a life changing experience.  Of course, there are those that would attempt to disuade you and bring to bear all the possible risks involved or all the horror stories they may have heard and as a result have all sorts of horrendous things to opine about concerning Liberian adoptions, but don’t let that get in the way of God’s leading, if He is indeed leading you that way.  Much could be said about the children from Liberia and the problems that some of them may have. Some true and some probably not true no doubt.  The point is simply this; who cares??!!  If God says so, then what does it matter.  Just do it.  Besides, as far as these children having some baggage goes-just pick up a book on just about any country in Africa that has been torn apart by civil war; Sudan, Sierra Leone, Etheopia, Rwanda, Somalia Ghana, Liberia etc.  Gee, ya think some of these kids might have an issue or two?-Ya think?  All the more reason they need the Love of God to be poured upon them by a family that has the love of God.  That’s why God may have chose you. So anyway, don’t get too discouraged by any naysaysers you may run accross-and there is no shortage of them-Just show them the same love we’re talking about here.  And if they get really outrageous-well then, just enjoy the pure lunacy of it all because I am sure you could use a good laugh.  In the end, just pray for those people in however the Lord may lead you to pray and show patience and grace as well.  In most cases, you can be sure that thier motives are good and they mean well. 

I’ll get some pictures up soon so all can see the beautiful creation that is God’s children.  In the meantime, I wanted to just say hello again after some time away and give a special hello to those nice people in the Potato state, whom I effectionately refer to as the Potato Heads, who remain my inspiration to continue to seek after God and to view these precious children through the eyes of Jesus.  Thanks guys!!  May the light of the Lord shine brightly upon you!

    Some may rememeber that
my better half…AKA…”The Woman”..AKA  “The Little
Lady”…..AKA………..”Goat Chick”….AKA…….The
Missis”…AKA…..Dalyn……wanted a chicken coup.  Those same
acuity enhanced few may also recall that I did not want a chicken coup
because I was more interested in shooting Wile-E-Coyote using the live
bait provided by free roaming chicken.  Common sense man. 
Chicken are a dime a dozen these days, especially with this whole bird
flu thing. “Ehw…look out, it's bird flu…help…help…..oh no…..not bird flu!!!  ehwww……Whooooopi”  Anywho…..This has been going on since last year.  I THOUGHT she
had given it a rest.  You know; forgotten the whole silly idea of
a chicken coup.  I underestimated her resolve.  Her
stubornness, her unflinching dedication to this ridiculous idea of a
chicken haven.  I thought I could just nod and smile and
everything would be alright.  Then again, I thought I could shoot
a stupid canine at 150 yards without issue.  I was wrong on both
accounts.
    I put in my time at work; a 24 hour shift, and am
coming home….a three hour tour, for some well earned rest and
relaxation.  I get home and do you know what I find??  Our
pastor is in our field beginning the ardious task of building a chicken
coup…..by himself….without me.  That's just wrong man!! 
This is the ultimate in “guilting” someone in order to get your
way!!………Manipulation to the hilt.  There is no denying
that. 
    So, here I am with a half built chicken coup, my
wife and daughter at a conferene 250 miles away and temperatures
approaching 80 degrees and a complete expectation of a chicken coup
upon her return.  I mean, a guy can't just sit there and let some
other guy….especially the Pastor, build something for him.  I'll
get back at her though……..I don't know how or when…..but it's
coming.  I'm telling you, it's on!!!

    Dalyn has been sent
away….to Texas.  Her Grandmother passed away last week after a
very brave and tough fight with various ailments.  We prayed for
her Salvation and I for one feel a sincere peace about it. Nonetheless,
please keep Dalyn and her family in your prayers. 
    So, I am home alone with the kids.  This is
pretty fun.  Who woulda known Taco Bell and Tilimock Chocolate
Peanut Butter Ice Cream could sustain you so long.  Oh, by the
way, lets say hypothetically, that someone took some deer steaks out to
thaw, leaving them on the counter.  Lets also say that that same
someone decided to pick up Taco Bell and forgot about the steaks until
the next morning.  What would happen if that person put them in
the fridge and then cooked them up the next night???  Do you think
you could get sick from em??  Hypothetically of course. 
Anyone know how to get horse poop out of the carpet?  Why I,m
asking, would a shower curtain be better served being washed in the
dishwasher are the washing machine.  Same question except instead
of shower curtain, mini schnauezer??  Oh, speaking of the dog, how
do I get Mrs. Clairol Golden Brunette to wash out of dog fur??  I
did find out that you cannot cook toast in a microwave, but that you
can use a coffe pot to make hot chocolate,….just not with
marshmellows. Vinagar has a lot of cleaning uses, but not so much as a
laundry detergent or as toothpaste.  Horses will eat peanut butter
sandwiches and enjoy it.  We've also discovered why chichen
fighting is banned in most states.  They can actually hold thier
own with a smaller sized dog fairly well though.  Well, I guess I
better start calling around for house cleaning services because Dalyn
comes home tomorrow, so I better get going.

In a school just outside of Pittsburgh, a first
grade teacher explained to her class that she
is a Steeler's fan.   She asked her students to  
raise their hands if they were Steeler's fans too.

Not really being a Steeler's fan, but wanting
 to be liked by their teacher, their hands all went
up into the air.

However, there was one exception.  A little
boy named Timmy had not gone along with
 the crowd.
 

 The teacher asked him why he had decided
 to be different …

     “Because I am not a Steeler's fan” says
Timmy.

     The teacher then asked, “What are you?”

     Timmy says “I'm a Seahawks fan.”

     The teacher was a little perturbed now, her
face slightly red, she asked

     Timmy why he was a Seahawks fan.

     ” Well, my mom and dad are Seahawks fans
so I'm a Seahawks fan too.”

     The teacher was now angry. “That's no reason”
she says loudly. “What if your mom was a moron
and your dad was an idiot?”

     Timmy smiled and said,

“Then I'd be a Steeler's fan.”

Terry Bradshaw, after living a full life, died.
 When he got to Heaven, God was showing
him around. They came to a modest little
house with a faded Steelers flag in the window.
 ”This house is yours for eternity,  Terry.” said God.

“This is very special; not everyone gets a
house up here.” Bradshaw felt special, indeed,
and walked up to his house. On his way up the
 porch, he noticed another house just around
 the corner. It was a 3 story mansion with a blue
and white sidewalk, a 50 foot tall flag pole with
an enormous SEAHAWKS flag, and in every
window a blue Towel.

Bradshaw looked at God and said,
“God, I'm not trying to be ungrateful,
but I have a question. I was an all-pro quarterback,
I hold many NFL records, and I even went to the
Hall of Fame.”

God said, “So what's your point Bradshaw?”

“Well, why does Matt Hasselbeck get a
better house than me?”

God chuckled, and said,
“Terry, that's not Matt's house, it's mine.”

    The department of education is unconstitutional. 
    Public schools are government schools. 
    You, as a parent(s), “have no due process or privacy right to override the determinations of public schools as to the information to which their children will be exposed while enrolled as students.”  (3 member panel of the 9th circuit court of appeals ruling Nov. 2 2005)
    Roe v. Wade actually thrusts the Federal Government
into the business of states and stole soveriegn power from the states
thus making it also unconstitutional. (as if the fact that nothing in
our constitution even remotely resembles anything close to suggesting a
right endowed by our Creator to kill the unborn is not enough) 
Not to mention the unconstitutionality of depriving life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness from the most underrepresented, without due
process. 
    The constitution actually
explicitly provides equal protection under the law for these silent
victims. 
    Reversing Roe V. Wade would only put control of abortion back with the states.
    etc, etc, etc   

    The preceeding statements are all statements of
fact, easily confirmed and verified by either a sampling of the “less
reported” news stories of the day and a simple reading of one of the
most important, yet neglected documents essential to the foundation of
this great country of ours.
    I am no writer and
find it very difficult to articulate and express in a coherent manner
all the things stored up in the ol' noggan of mine.  However, I
found a very well writen book that does just that, “Taking America
Back”,  by the founder of www.worldnetdaily.com and of “Whilstleblower” magazine;
Joseph Farah.  He puts forth a sobering look at the true State of
the Union as well as solutions that may seem radical to some, but
hey….tell me what has happened to our constitution is not
radical.  He does it not through conspirialtoral paranoia, but
through a contrast of the clear intents and language of our founding
documents with what we are actually seeing today.  Anyone who
actually reads through some of these founding documents, especially the
Declaration of Independence and The Constitution, would undoubtably
draw the same conclusions Mr. Farah draws.  This isn't rocket
science and you don't need to be a “constitutional scholar” to
understand most if not all of what these documents say.  Likewise,
it's easy to see where we have aimlessly drifted and consequently ended
up today and more fightening yet, where we are headed.
    Mr. Farah has been kind enough to allow me to
republish a small sampling of his book and you will find that in my
next blog.  In the meantime, his book is available for purchase at

     The reason this has been an important subject
to me for a long time and should be to everyone, is because the only
way it has been possible to stray so far from our moral base and the
constitution as a country is because not enough people know what our
fouding documents actually say.  You can bet that special interest
groups , lobbying groups and ACLU lawyers know what it says.  They
would have to in order to manipulate it the way they have. 
(Although I sometimes wonder if any of these unelected black robes have
ever read it.)  We NEED to have , at the very least, a simle
understanding of history, of American history and World history. 
And as home educaters, it is out responsible duty to teach our children
what this country is, what made it special, what our founding documents
actually say.  To teach them history, undefiled, unadulterated
history.  There are plenty of those ready and willing to teach
them all manner of destortions and lies about our countries history and
it's founders as well as the documents that etched in stone the tenants
of this country.  But if we teach the next generation Truth in ALL
things, that lie will become more and more difficult to spread. 
After all, we call ourselves “Home Schoolers.”
