update and please continue to pray...

Charlie has a pretty bad infection. He also has an extremely bad hernia. Actually, more than one. He has some things going on with his kidneys, as well. So, he is on some pain medication and antibiotics and some anti-inflamatory medication. He has to take all of that, don't lift anything and go back in two weeks. If he is not better at a satisfactory level, they will send him to a specialist. We really need your prayers as this is very bad news. Charlie's work is VERY physical. Not only that, but to keep up with our place and 3 kids is very physical work, as well. We also do not have insurance at this time, (long story). So, we cannot really afford a specialist.

I am asking you to pray and pray hard for us. I know there are people that have problems a lot worse than ours. But, I know that our circumstances require prayer, as well. I know when we need prayer and we need it now. I also believe that my God can fix this. So, would you please join me in prayer for our family? Pray that Charlie is healed, 100%?

I thank God every day for the special friends I have who comment and email and phone me to let me know that I am loved. I so appreciate each and every one of you! May God bless you all.

*Also, of the upmost importance today, DON"T FORGET TO VOTE!!!!
VOTE FOR JESUS, VOTE FOR VALUES, VOTE FOR OUR COUNTRY
AND MAY
GOD HELP US ALL.

Our country was founded on biblical principles...it's time we take a stand...

This has been on my mind so much lately and I have been struggling for the right words and filling my blog up with superficial things (rambling) instead of addressing the issues that I feel must be faced. I am so good at that, trying to ignore problems and hope that things just work out for the best. I am struggling so hard lately to change that about myself.

Anyway, if my opinion on this election offends you, I would usually apologize for that. But, today, I am not going to. I hope that it does make you stop and consider, truly consider, what is important in our lives and what is sanctified, what does the WORD of GOD say about the issues we are facing today? Read this blog post and pray about it. Pray fervently. It is time that we stood up and took a stand. I love what God is saying to this woman. I love how she is not afraid to take a stand. May we all follow that example.

Have a wonderful, God led week,

Julie

Judge Roy Moore of Alabama (please read!)

AlabamaJudge

Some of you may be wondering what Judge Roy Moore has been doing since he was removed from the bench for refusing to remove the Ten Commandments from his courtroom wall. Please read the poem he wrote.

The following is a poem written by Judge Roy Moore from Alabama. Judge Moore was sued by the ACLU for displaying the Ten Commandments in his courtroom foyer. He has been stripped of his judgeship and now they are trying to strip his right to practice law in Alabama! The judge's poem sums it up quite well:


America the beautiful,Or so you used to be.
Land of the Pilgrims' pride;I'm glad they'll never see.
Babies piled in dumpsters,
Abortion on demand,
Oh, sweet land of liberty;Your house is on the sand.
Our children wander aimlessly
Poisoned by cocaine;
Choosing to indulge their lusts,
When God has said abstain.

From sea to shining sea,
Our Nation turns away
From the teaching of God's love
And a need to always pray.

We've kept God in ourTemples,
how callous we have grown.
When earth is but His footstool,
And Heaven is His throne.

We've voted in a government
that's rotting at the core,
Appointing Godless Judges;
Who throw reason out the door.

Too soft to place a killer
In a well deserved tomb,
But brave enough to kill a baby
Before he leaves the womb.

You think that God's notAngry
, that our land's a moral slum
?How much longer will He wait
Before His judgment comes?

How are we to face our God,From Whom we cannot hide?
What then is left for us to do,But stem this evil tide?
If we who are His children,Will humbly turn and pray;
Seek His holy faceAnd mend our evil way.

Then God will hear from Heaven,And forgive us of our sins,
He'll heal our sickly landAnd those who live within.
But, America the Beautiful,If you don't - then you will see,
A sad but Holy God
Withdraw His hand from Thee.

~~Judge Roy Moore~~

This says it all. May we all forward this message and offer our prayers for Judge Moore to be blessed and for America to wake up and realize what we need to do to keep OUR America the Beautiful.Pass this on and let's lift Judge Moore up in Prayer. He has stood firm and needs our support.
