Kansas Bob,
I fully agree with you about gambling. I believe it's simply not in the heart of Papa.

In fact, if you look at the states which have the most casinos (unfortunately, I live in a state that has many), there will usually be a decent population of people who live in the low-income bracket and also struggle with other addictions or problems.

Indeed, even if the legislature "says" the money earned from gambling/related taxpayer monies goes towards good things such as education, healthcare in the state...you're correct that much of the bills are earmarked-up containing clauses that actually hurt the state's economy by keeping such gambling-related organizations continually running.

When money is funneled into casinos, that money is "lost" where it could have spent to purchase homes or products to help build that state's economy.

Great post, Bob.

I just recently found your page.

Feel free to "drop by" my blogpage, read my posts, leave comments, and perhaps even add me to your Blogroll if you can.

Kansas Bob,
This is beautiful. Indeed, expressing and showing kindness is a true demonstration of Love, wrapped with compassion, thoughfulness and acceptance. I love these quotes...all of them. Such words of Wisdom and Truth.

Kansas Bob,
Thanks for including this review from CT. I have also read a few other reviews from other blogs. I, too, want to see it. However, I added it to my Netflix Queue. I'm a bit tight to spend the money on theater tickets. Two others I also am looking forward to seeing are:
Doubt
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Hope you have a great rest of your weekend!

Amy — Sun, 23 Nov 2008 20:16:00 -0000

Kansas Bob,
Personally, I do not see the huge fascination with this movie and show. And quite honestly, I find it highly disturbing that so many people are enamored with violence, horror and darkness. Yet, at the same time, sigh..., I'm not surprised. Look at how many people were head over heals with the whole Harry Potter craze?

Unfortunately, I think the younger generation (young adult, teens, "tweens")from what I've both experienced and heard, are really espousing a lot of "dark" stuff.

Just my thoughts, of course, here.

Blessings,
~Amy :)

Re: What are natural ways to cure panic attacks?

Amy — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 10:46:59 -0000

Go to your library and look up relaxation cds- guided meditations, self hypnosis. It really works, as far as relaxing you and calming a panic attack.

Wet Ones® Antibacterial Wipes are proven to be just as effective as an alcohol-based gel hand sanitizer in killing germs but they also clean away dirt and messes, and won’t dry out your skin like alcohol-based cleansers.

Re: Everything you need to know to buy a good puppy, from someone who did it

Amy — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 17:50:00 -0000

I'm gonna join the camp of just not understanding how your "knowns" of a well-bred dog are better than the already-health-evaluated rescue dog... but it sounds like you just want to believe that the "quality" of the dog, through avoiding future vet bills, is most important.

Anyway, in my experience:

1. A mutt is the "healthiest" dog to get: it has the best chance of overcoming breed specific diseases because the other breeds in its background can overcome the mutated DNA supplied through purebreeding.

2. My purebred Collie came from rescue and has had nary a health problem in her seven years so far.

3. My aunt looked long and hard for a responsible breeder, and did find one with the small, at-home litters and parents on site, good socialization, perfect vet records and genetic testing for known problems with the breed (Collie), spay-neuter and return to breeder contracts, etc. After her thousands to buy the wonderful puppy, by 18 months old she had hip dysplasia and epilepsy.

Obviously anecdotal stories don't constitute the data needed to really evaluate this. But I sense a tone here that people should only go to responsible breeders (I agree that's WAY better than BYB and mills), and never go through rescue, which makes me sad.

Re: Global warming is irrelevant part two: Ten things you can do in your own kitchen to help the environment right now

Amy — Thu, 13 Sep 2007 13:43:00 -0000

Adding to #3, not eating meat (creating less demand for it) is also good for the environment because fewer natural habitats are destroyed to a)graze livestock or b)grow grain to feed livestock, and eating meat is an inefficient use of resources vs just eating the grain directly.

I went veg after a couple of years knowing my bf's family. They immediately came up with dishes for me at family functions, which is very sweet. I normally wouldn't want so many varieties of cheesy broccoli casserole but I've learned to eat what they prepare because I appreciate their efforts!

Mostly, though, I take a dish to share that will provide me a decent meal and that is tasty so everyone thinks I'm contributing as well as not too weird.

Re: The best bags for fruit and vegetables and how you can get a FREE reusuable shopping bag for, erm, free because we’re going green

Amy — Thu, 16 Aug 2007 12:53:00 -0000

I have been using totes too, but the produce gets other stuff all wet, not to mention in the cart and at checkout. I started taking ONE produce bag and setting it on the checkout conveyor with all the loose produce stacked on top to keep the conveyor dry. Then I have it all put in a tote just for greens, but again, wet. The cashier gives me dirty looks 80% of the time and spends a great deal of time wiping off the wet weighing area with paper towels (another waste).

I wonder if I could get away with these bags and keep things more segregated but less plastic-contained. I recycle the shopping bags but I buy lots of produce for the bunnies and goodness, that's a lot of plastic bags.

Re: Drink up: Water bottles for the Almost Vegetarian from SIGG and Klean Kanteen

Amy — Thu, 16 Aug 2007 12:20:00 -0000

Perhaps I don't worry about the plastic as much, but I refill my water bottles and reuse them for weeks. They even go in the dishwasher periodically. Eventually I recycle them. It makes for WAY less water-purchasing and still gives me the convenience of having a bottle around.

This is even better with tofu. Marinate cubed firm tofu in whatever you like (I like 1/2 soy 1/2 honey and a bit of lemon or lime juice) for a few hours, and then stick those cubes right on the skewer too!

We eat meat, too, but we've significantly cut back and found some awesome recipes and really good fake meats that are nearly (sometimes entirely) fat-free, but packed with protein. We make an awesome veggie chili with Melissa's Soyrizo. And we love to make tacos with the Smart burrito packets.

Yum... making me hungry just thinking about it...

I recently saw the term "flexitarian." I kind of like that. We still eat meat, but we eat a lot of vegetarian meals, too. I could never do the all or nothing approach.

First of all, you are great. My boyfriend told me about your site after it was in the NY Times.

I highly recommend getting your own site. It's so easy with the right tools.

I run my own website, which I NEVER thought I was capable of. I used Godaddy to buy the domain name and for my hosting. Their customer service has been amazing. I even called them on Christmas Day (I work too, too much!).

As for the website building part... do you have a mac? We have a mac and I used iweb and I would never, ever, trade it for the world. You can drop and drag photos, add text, change colors, etc., all as if you were in a word document. NO CODES. It does all of the encoding for you and you can change the templates however you like. And it looks good.

Then you just click one button to export your files to a folder and upload them to Godaddy and everything magically appears. It really was that simple.

If you have questions, feel free to ask me. I've had a great experience with GoDaddy and iweb. You can check out the site and see if you like the finished product: The Leash We Can Do!

If you don't have a mac, I have to tell you, it's worth the switch. It makes owning and running your own site accessible. That way you can be a blogger, not a web tech student. It's really saved me so much time and money and allowed me to focus on the things I want to, not the codes and knowledge required to share those things online.

you have to be careful with "biodegradable" dog waste bags. Some say they are biodegradable, but they don't actually biodegrade. Info here:

Biobags and poopbags.com are truly biodegradable and compostable, but there are many that aren't. Make sure you buy bags that are ASTM certified.

I like roasting a chicken. I make mixture of a couple of tablespoons each of softened butter and olive oil, then add salt, coarsely ground pepper, dried or fresh thyme and rosemary, and 3 or 4 cloves of finely minced garlic (I use a garlic press). I rub this mixture all ove the skin, and underneath the breast skin. Then I roast the chicken, starting it at 450 for 10 minutes, then turning it down to 350 and roast until done. I serve this with eithermashed potatoes or buttered noodles.

Knocking on wood, but quietly--or else the dogs would sound the "OH MY GOSH, SOMEONE'S HERE!" alert, rush to the front door, and wake my husband.

Thank you for your open post. We're all praying for you and wishing there was something we do in person instead of from far away. Is the mobility in your hands directly affected, too, or is it everything else that makes computer time tough?

Do you read comments on your older posts? I'm catching up, so I wanted to reply to your godson post here. My goddaughter, 3.5 years, is pretty outrageous and her mommy (my best friend) has posted some quotes at http://rebeccaandtom.blogspot.com/ It's well worth a visit if you have a moment for a laugh (or careful smile). My favorite:
After using the potty in the morning, Liesl pulled her pajama pants up over her bare bottom:
Mommy: “Liesl, don’t you want to put some undies on first?”
Liesl: “Nope. I’m goin’ commando.”

Re: Pastor reports to prison for tax evasion - ExChristian.Net - News and Opinion

Amy — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 18:24:00 -0000

Why is it that anytime someone who claims to be a christian makes a bad decision that gets them into trouble that you atheists have to start posting videos on here to make all christians look bad just because of a few bad apples in the barrel?

Do you think all christians act this way? Why do you have to make all of us look bad?

Not all christians act like this, and some of us actually do live Holy lives for Jesus.

Re: Pastor reports to prison for tax evasion - ExChristian.Net - News and Opinion

Amy — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 14:47:00 -0000

And you atheists are supposed to be tolerant? Yet, look at the way you treat and disrespect christians. That's not being tolerant of others, nor is it showing love. Atheism sure isn't about love. Most of the posts on here prove that. I see nothing more than bitterness and anger among most of the posts on here from atheists. Even when a christian has not posted on here, all most of you know how to do is sit here and criticize and make harsh and mean remarks about every single christian.

You atheists criticize us about not being tolerant? What about all of you? You judge all of us based on a few bad apples. That is not fair.

Based on some of the hateful remarks some of you have left on here towards me it just proves one thing.

There is no love nor tolerance from atheists either. So don't go around criticizing christians for not showing tolerance. Until all of you stop posting hate messages and bashing the rest of us, will you continue to prove that atheism is not about love and tolerance.

Now go ahead and act tough and macho with your curse words. It takes a really big and tough individual to do so.

"And furthermore, Amy, you stupid fucking, big-mouthed bitch, I refuse to tolerate stupidity and ignorance."

Thanks for proving my point.

Atheism is all about hatred, and apparently your mom and dad didn't teach you any manners when talking to women.

I assume that you are a man, because that is the way most men talk. They act all big and tough with their foul language. OOOH!!! We're a tough guy with our foul mouth aren't we?

Maybe the fact the top times were recorded on TT rigs are just because those that are good at TTing own TT bikes? (or have some form of triathlon background and own one from that..)

The problem with that is the well known tip to get faster - Ride with those faster than you. So everyone wants to get out there and train with the faster guys.
To police something like that you would need someone to sit at the start of the NRR every morning and Handicap it!

SKCC also have 3 sessions over the summer called Latte Laps, or Crit Training Sessions. It's a session that takes you through all the basics you need to know for crit racing, and then you can follow it up by having a go in E grade.. The first one is 11th October.

Did one last season myself and found it really informative!

Re: Work Life – Cycling Balance

Amy — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 22:18:59 -0000

'Fairly Meager Jobs' need to be done by someone, and I'm happy for that to be me! We can't all be high flying CEO's. If you place the title on your business card as the No 1 priority in your life, then to be honest, I don't think you'd live a very fulfilling/happy life..

I absolutely agree with the 'Work to Live, don't Live to Work' sentiment.
4.5 years ago all I wanted was to be promoted, earn more money, take on more responsibility. Working 12 hour days, not doing much exercise, and generally being unhappy. Then I realised as long as you can afford to live and pay for your hobbies or passions, why do you need more? Once I started dialling back the excessive work hours, and started running and riding more, I became so much happier within myself, and I became more productive at work! So I was getting similar amounts done, in shorter periods of time.. Win/Win if you ask me!

Now if I was offered another promotion, if it impinged on my ability to train at all, the answer would be no. In fact if I were to look for a new job, the only reason I would take it would be because it gave me more opportunity to train than my current one..

Re: Work Life – Cycling Balance

Amy — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 18:50:42 -0000

So did you get the job??

My boss is the one who got me in to triathlon/cycling, so it makes things much easier if I'm running late after my morning ride because 'traffic is shocking...' (ie, oops, I was having too much fun and rode later than I should have).. and those invetible times when a couple of hours is needed in the afternoon to head to the physio etc!

Go Saints!

Re: From Bible-thumper to a Deist - Testimonies of Ex-Christians

Amy — Tue, 14 Mar 2006 12:02:00 -0000

Jeff, like others, I am so sorry for the hypocritical people in your old church, although most know that a lot of churches (along with other sectors) are full of hypicrits. I truly believe that each person has to find what and who they are on their own. Please don't be influenced by anyone in your old church or on this web site. This is a personal journey. Yes, I consider myself a Christian and I go to church on a regular basis. But I think that I have more of a spiritual journey then say the politics of the church. It's a very personal thing and I will not try and sway you one way or the other and I hope that anyone who has any kind of belief will be stong enough in their own beliefs not to encourage anyone to go the way they do. I believe there is a higher force out there and that goodness and forgiveness is essential, it makes MY life more fulfilling. All I ask is that you don't close the book on anything, keep an open mind and see where your path leads you. I wish you all the best on your journey. But most of all I wish you peace and happiness.

Re: I suppose that I should not give up on God, but... - Testimonies of Ex-Christians

Amy — Sat, 01 Mar 2008 08:33:00 -0000

Hi Everyone. Sorry I have been MIA. I have to begin my response to all of your discussions with a big giant "WOW!" It appears that I have touched on a nerve, but that's a good thing. I have read your comments, and while there is wayyyyy too much for me to respond to each, I will simply say this:

Each of you has a genuine opinion about this matter regarding God. Some of you profess disbelief in God. Some of you do believe He exists. In either case, I find from this discussion string that there are a variety of different ways in which everyone chooses to believe or not believe in the existence (or nonexistence) of God. It reminds me once more that God, FOR ME, is someone that I have to tough it out with and get to know my own way, even when I feel mad enough to punch Him in His face or scared enough to run away. I admit it; my emotions get the better of me with Him sometimes. Still, I'd rather have a God that I struggle with and get closer to in doing so than no God at all -- that's just my opinion.

Am I still angry at God (who, indicentally, I do believe exists)? Sometimes. God answered me through all of you, showing me that we're all just trying to survive on what we know, and since none of us is all-knowing about anything, who can be the real authority on this issue? Close-mindedness is the real enemy, and this is the crappy thing about the Christian church today: it doesn't believe that people have different opinions and approaches to God, but maybe that's starting to change. We're all different and entitled to what we believe.

Thank you for chiming in to advice an honest troubled heart.

Re: I suppose that I should not give up on God, but... - Testimonies of Ex-Christians

Amy — Sat, 01 Mar 2008 12:10:00 -0000

Taylor,
I wish I could say that God is something that's easy for me to understand. As my first post suggests, I'm frustrated at the fact that I don't understand the concept or person of God more. . . or at least whatever I've been taught about God.

You've got a good question there; I really like it -- a real "quest" kind of question. It's the kind of question someone asks when they want know more about something and don't feel like what they currently know is enough to satisfy them. I love such questions and ask them all the time, but since I don't know everything, I am not the authority on what God is or isn't. I only know that I'm searching for what God may be. That's the best I can say.
Faith is a journey no matter what religion you are or are not a part of. People are always searching for what is true in the world and what is not. Your question is the question that sends people to the highest points on mountain tops and across oceans and lands on adventures that sometimes don't wind up where they think they will. The thing I am not giving up on is my own journey that only I am walking. I can't help you with your's except to say that being real with yourself about what you're seeking and why is a good place to start. If you don't believe in God, the universe will still respond.

This is a shitty answer I know, so fulsh it if you like. As I said, I am not the authority on anything, including my own struggles. I just choose not to quit. That's the best I can do when I have no control over anything else.

Thanks for your post.

Since this discussion has gone on as long as I needed it to (and I started it), I'm bowing out and going out to enjoy the nice weather. I won't be checking back in for this, so in the words of an old irish verse, I bid you a fond "si-yo-nara" and give you my thanks for your thoughts once more:

May the road rise
rise up to meet you,

May the wind be always
at your back.

May the sun shine warm
upon your face,

And the rains fall soft
upon your fields,

And until we meet again,
May God hold you
In the palm of His hand.

My prayer this morning is that the Lord will inspire new ideas, and a deeper revelation for His will for your life. Their's no doubt that He want's to use you mighty for His Kingdom. I believe He is going to open new doors of opportunity to share all of your ministry to the nations.

I have to say I'm a little disturbed with this post. Hmm.. ducks or humans, we are both made by our loving Father the creator. I think the writer of this one went way to far. I guess if the world can't penetrate our stands, they will try another way to ruffle us. ugh..

Re: The Gay Ducks of the Apocalypse

Amy — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 23:10:48 -0000

No, how could I ever be disturbed with you.:) What bothers me is the story. I think the writer went way too far with this one. The thought of this writer actually using God's creation as a target is just not right. I guess I can just see this story visiting many around the world and our Lord being the blunt of His humor is just not funny to me.
Your humor is always pleasant and I love reading your writings.

I also remember a commercial where some guys were grass skiing working up a Rondo thirst.

It is great to come to the site and find others who remember!

My most memorable gift was more in how it was given than the gift itself. We kept asking my dad over and over again to give us a clue to what our gift was. He just kept saying "I'll give you a clue Christmas morning". He would than hear us say, "But that would be too late!" Christmas morning as me and my sisters ripped open the present we found the game VCR CLUE! This is a story we tell our kids. They think Papa is sooo funny.

ahhh man..I missed it!!

It's been one of those weeks, and I'm JUST getting to it now.

btw--most memorable gift was a leather coat, b/c my parents had a small budget, but wanted to buy me a coat (i was beggin for one). They bought me the cheaper, pleather look (but real) one, and I was a big selfish brat. I still feel bad about it.

We do the three gifts also and I love it. One thing we do with our boys is read a Christmas story every night in the month of December. We have several books, but also check some out at the library. They really enjoy taking turns picking out the story for the evening. This year has been pretty special, because my oldest is learning to read. He is going to help read from the Bible this year!

Re: http://gitzengirl.blogspot.com/2008/12/canvas-for-christmas-day-3.html

Amy — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 20:42:00 -0000

oooh...this is a good one..

We def. don't spend an intense amount of money on the kids. We have a small budget, and do our best to fit a few gifts , of their choice, in.

We also choose gifts that will help others. This year we are doing Solesforsouls as well as a calendar sponsorship at our church that will help children from a 'dump city' in Philippines. (there homes are built in the city dump). Buying a calendar will help one child go to school for one year. we try to get the kids as involved with this as possible.

Christmas morning we have a party for Jesus, then celebrate with brunch at Grandma/Papas. It's a special time of eating, celebrating and enjoying, while still in p.j;s!!
I can hardly wait!!!!

Unfortunately my family did not live close to extended members while we were growing up. My fathers side lives thousands of miles away, and therefore we NEVER saw them ONE Christmas. With 12 brothers/sisters, it may have been fun??!!
Now, we have a yearly 'supper' with one of my moms brothers and we enjoy good food, good company, and lots of laughter, no presents. I love it as it is new, and something we never experienced growing up.

My dad would always hold an auction on Christmas Eve. It's kind-of hard to explain, but dad would gather gifts throughout the year and use them at the auction. The youngest cousin would draw names out of a hat and the person picked could pick between two items my dad set aside. When everones name was called they had the choice of auctioning their gift off, trading it, or keeping it. The gifts ranged from a shovel, bath items, or a ham! It was always a lot of fun!

My sisters and I would love to put on plays for my parents. My oldest sister was always Mary and my youngest always played baby Jesus. As she got older she began to protest her part, so we started taking turns, and eventually the play turned into a concert. We had a lot of fun performing for our parents and friends.

Love the fresh air too, here in Moorhead it's been in the mid 30's...a heat wave! It's spring like, melting and slushy!

I need to let go of a grudge or some anger I have towards a person in my life. I cannot control what this person does or thinks, she is her own person. I can only step back and learn from her, how I won't act. She is limited in her vision. I need to let go and stop judging her and love her for her.

Letting go--wow--which one should I say? lol. I have had the hardest time letting go of my opinions and judgements. It has been so easy for me to tell them what they "should" do (so I think) rather than just love on them. I'm (slowly) learning that God's direction is LOVE.

My daughter is in Deb's class. Today Deb sent home your blog address. I enjoy reading your blog. My Dad has AS and never talks about how painful or difficult things are for him-as a side note-he exercises on a gazelle type machine and that keeps his legs working (sometimes more, sometimes less). He says he keeps moving because the day he stops is the day he won't be able to move again. He has the greatest work ethic of anyone I have ever known, probably because he has to work so hard to stay mobile. Reading through your blog has given me some understanding of some of the things he is dealing with. I admire your attitude so much. I appreciate your honesty (and the cute pictures of your puppy) and your joy. My daughter really enjoys making cards and writing poems for you. Thank you for sharing your life with these kids.

After reading the book, and hearing from others, I hope I am not totally like that. I'll have to watch one day and see for myself.

Right there with you--I'm 34. About 1979, my dad put his store inventory and sales on a computer. Terminals at the sales counter connected to the refrigerator-size computer (no joke, even if my perspective was off because I was little) in the back room. Every night he ran a backup on the "platter" disk, which really was big enough to serve a turkey on. Yikes. That was cutting edge.

About the migraines: My husband also gets the super-horrible, incapacitating, vomiting, frightful variety that you enjoy. A couple years ago, he was part of a clinical trial through Ohio State Univ. for a gadget to help prevent migraines. Picture holding something like a hairdryer to your head when you first get an aura, pull the trigger, and it gives off an electromagnetic pulse that disrupts and stops or lessens the migraine. He doesn't know if he was in the control or experimental group (he suspects the latter), but since then, he has had fewer migraines and they tend to be less intense. An article we read about the study beforehand cited people who had migraines every day for years, and after a few treatments had few or none. Definitely worth looking into.

I'm sorry I didn't get a card in the mail to you this year. I'm usually so good about that, but the past 5 weeks have been extra busy at our house. I'll do better next year. I do hope you have a very happy day. Thanks for being my friend!!

Happy Birthday! My most memorable birthday gift was a card that came from my nephew. He is just turning 6 next month and he gave it to me when he was 4. He gave it to me and said "Aunt Amy, I know this isn't the best give that someone will give you but I wanted you to have it because it comes from my heart!" Doesn't that just melt you? I said "Austin, because you said that, it IS the best give anyone will EVER give me!!" His face lit up with a big smile!

Happy Birthday, Susie! This is a beautiful post, Sara. Susie is just as wonderful as you describe her in this post. It still makes me happy to know that the two of you enjoyed that blender so much :).

It was great to be able to see Susie and Deb at Jack's shower last weekend. We were able to catch up and it was just like old times. Here's a story for you: Susie and Deb walked in with Wente. Wente walked in first, greeted me and then Susie and Deb both came in and gave me big hugs. Wente said sorry I didn't hug you Amy but that's just not the first thing that pops into my mind. I told her it was fine, that I knew she felt a hug for me in her heart :). Some things never change!! We missed you at Jack's shower. Have you seen his pictures on Facebook? I try to update them each week or so. Everyone says how much he looks like Matt. He must because not one person has said that he looks like me!

I love it! This has potential. Maybe the next cut can be Riley the Rhodesian Ridgeback.
I had wondered whether the outside air would get stuck on his fur. If the short haircut works better, could you clip a long leash (clothesline or very light chain) on him and fasten it to the patio wall or something just inside the door? That way he could safely have recess with outdoor minimal air getting in to trouble you.

Yay! More fear. If you can't win them with the Good News, scare the living daylights out of them.
When I read this statement I immediately thought of my niece Faith and how she reacts when she's scared about something. Her response is the opposite of what this statement is referring to. When she's fearful she runs to safety and where she feels loved. The thought of scaring anyone to receive just tells me that maybe they forgot what brought them to the cross. For me it was and is unconditional love and acceptance.
I have learned that to win them with the Good News is the Holy Spirits job not mine, I just share when He prompts me to otherwise I just live the life of love and let my light shine.

I like your last sentence. Two of my nieces are named Hope and Faith. :) For me the grace of God is something that took me a long time to understand and live. I'm so thankful that when you seek, you find. Suffering is a really hard thing to swallow at times but I have learned that it really means dieing to self. Once you make up your mind to die (loose your life), you definitely find it. :)
Great job Randy!

Thanks for posting Alan's article. If I was asked about the term covenant friendship, I would probably think of just a pure friendship like David and Johnathan had. Wow, it crazy that people are coming up with new ways to identify their lifestyle and make others think it's ok.
Alan did an excellent job pointing out the truth.

Re: The New Homosexuality?

Amy — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 20:28:05 -0000

It saddens me to see people have bought into the lie of this covenant friendship relationship; it all leaves one feeling lonely and unloved. I believe the truth of the matter is that even though they say life partner they know deep down that it's counterfeit. God say, the two become one flesh. When someone lives outside the guidelines of Gods word, they can't see how you can share everything including an intimate relationship guilt free. I'm so glad for the blood of Jesus and that one day I will experience the friendship and intimacy of marriage.
I agree, it's baffling.

Re: The New Homosexuality?

Amy — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 23:13:06 -0000

My idea of marriage is defined by the word of God and the covenant friendship is the very opposite. The definition of marriage is one man and one women with Christ as the head. Before I came to Christ my thinking was right inline with this so called covenant friendship. I was deceived for many years and tried to convince myself that the relationship I was seeking was just friendship. But deep down I was really searching for love and acceptance and found that no one could fill that except Jesus. Believe me I tried for 5 years but came up empty handed every time. Once I surrendered my life to Him, I found real friendship, love and acceptance and it was with no strings attached. It's such a good feeling when you meet that special someone that loves you unconditionally and wants to give and not take. I'm talking about my relationship with Jesus. :)
You ask, but what if you didn't have the friendship and intimacy of marriage to look forward to? I have found that once you receive Christ love and understand how much He loves you, you will be very happy and full. My happiness is in Him. If I look for love from anyone else without receiving first from Him, I'd be empty. Brady, if you have accepted Jesus as your Lord and savior you do have the friendship of marriage to look forward to. Christ say's that we are is bride. Just cling to Him, love, trust, live upright before Him, and He promises to give you your hearts desires. He knows the secret petitions of your heart that maybe you haven't even uttered yet. I would challenge you to get alone with Him and be totally honest with how you feel and what you really desire deep down. The awesome thing about having a relationship with the Father is that He already knows, He is just waiting for you to ask. :)

It's ok Janey, I knew what you meant. Even though we enter difficult situation as we follow Christ, we now endure them with help from a loving Father. Victory is ours through Christ Jesus!
If you are still waiting for a healing in your body, I have excellent news! He's alive and ready to meet your every need, just cling to what Jesus has done for you and you will find joy as you receive what the blood has already paid for. (YOUR HEALING!!)
Proverbs 4:20-22 says, My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life to those that find them, and health to all their flesh. (KJV)
The Hebrew word for “health” in verse 22 is “medicine.” God’s Word is medicine to all our flesh. Exodus 15:26 reads, I the Lord am thy physician. The medicine He prescribes is His Word.
I pray as you keep your eyes on the finished work of the cross you will have peace. God bless you. :)

Re: The New Homosexuality?

Amy — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 11:59:25 -0000

The word that I hear in my spirit as I'm writing this is "Receive". Confession is our part. CONFESSION: God’s Word is health to all my flesh. His Word is medicine to my flesh. I am the Lord that healeth thee is medicine to all my flesh. I will take sickness away from the midst of thee is medicine to my flesh. The Word of God is full of the life of God. That life is saturating my spirit. God’s life and healing power is in His Word, and His Word is at work in me now. The Word of God is depositing the life of God and the healing of God into my spirit. That life and health is spreading out of my spirit into every tissue and pore of my body, creating health and soundness. My body has no choice but to respond to the healing in the Word that is being absorbed into me now. I will stand in agreement with you. We serve a faithful God!

Passing judgment is not my job, I was simply stating how I felt and know as truth according to the Word of God. Your feelings for feeling fulfilled are undeniable and because you choose to not seek God's perspective you and I can't see eye to eye. I will say that I have no right to pass judgment on you and make you feel less than me. The same love of Christ Jesus that was offered to me is available to you. :)
Have a blessed day!

Re: The New Homosexuality?

You will think what you want and that's ok, I just realize that you and I do not believe the same so it doesn't matter what I say. I stated that from what I have experienced myself leads to loneliness. Undeniable means incapable of being disputed,unquestionable,clear,and evident. I was just pointing out that the way you feel is clear and until you seek to know God's viewpoint and truth you will continue to feel the way you do.

Re: The New Homosexuality?

Amy — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 15:05:04 -0000

You stated, I was a bit discouraged recently in the face of my own struggles and not yet seeing the healing I've wanted to by now. I apologize I was thinking you were referring to a physical healing. Regardless healing physical and spiritual both work the same way.
Yes, you are right with pointing out that it takes time. I'm very thankful that the Lord is patient and loving. :)

Re: Joe Dallas’ Testimony and The Gay Gospel

Amy — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 16:10:47 -0000

This really blessed my heart this morning, thank you for sharing. The Lord has put it on my heart several times that it's not the identity of the sin like, being gay, or a heterosexual pursuing a sexual relationship outside marriage but the simple fact that one chooses to disbelieve His Word and reject His love and guidelines. I have learned that all of His instructions are their to protect us from being hurt. I feel that most men and women feel like we share Jesus to turn them from their sin and that's just not true; we just want them to see the love of the Father and experience His protective hand. It's not until one see's and receives for themselves the gentle touch of the Father that understanding of His Word can take root in the heart. And it's only after receiving His Grace that one will want to do and be all that He has designed them to be. Unconditional love these days is nowhere to be found, selfishness is shouting from every corner. "What about me!" I can say this in closing, you will never find the unconditional love from anyone or anything, the love that makes a heart pure and full only comes from receiving His love. His name is Jesus. I would like to challenge anyone that doesn't know Him to know He's always knocking and waiting to be invited to come in and love you.
God Bless you.

Arguing and debating is useless. It's obvious Randy that men and women without God's word in their hearts have no legs to stand on. We on the other hand have truth according to the word of God and that's what we have to stand on. Your doing a great job sharing the truth in love. :)

Re: Iowa Court Says Gay Marriage Ban Unconstitutional

Amy — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 12:20:33 -0000

I'm not against standing up for what is right but it must be for what's right according to God's word. The right to vote and racism laws that have passed are all good and right b/c that's in line with the word of God. I'm talking about arguing with someone over an issue where ones opinion vs fact/truth according to the guidelines of God's law. These debates take you no where. Debating can turn into trying to convince and that's not our job. The Bible tells us that convincing the world of what's right according the the bible is the Holy Spirits job. Not all but some have miss used sharing, debating however you what to say it. This has given some the impression that Christ followers are judging and not loving unconditional.

My midwife told me something when I was pregnant with my second, because I was so concerned I would never love that baby as much as my first. She said "A mother's love is never divided, each child gets it all." I love that! A mother's love though, not her time.

Joe - I like the Trader Joe's brand best. If you don't have that near you, I think the Tinkayada (sp?) is pretty good too. A couple of things though:

1. you have to put good seasoning on it, its not going to taste exactly like normal pasta

2. cook it all the way through. These ones are not so good al dente! I also like to cover it generously with olive oil right after cooking to make sure I don't end up with a globby rice ball.

3. I prefer the short cuts (penne, spirals) over the long ones like spaghetti. For some reason they taste more realistic since you expect some heartiness out of those anyways.

Let me know if you try any out that you like!

Hi Kelly - I totally hear you on the Wheat Berry fear. I was too until I found out how easy it was to just soak and then boil them (not much harder than pasta with a little planning ahead).

And as far as price, if you buy them in bulk they're actually pretty cheap - ttp://www.amazon.com/Hard-Red-Wheat-Berries-lb/dp/B00015YTVA/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2?ie=UTF8&s=grocery&qid=1236108702&sr=8-2

Though if you're too afraid, you could always use leftover brown rice or barley or something too. So long as it's a nice crunchy grain!

Re: An Easy and Comforting Lunch

Kimberly - my pleasure. So glad to have found it :)

Kristen - here I boiled them because quite honestly I wanted less time standing in front of the stove. I just put them in the water and let them alone and then spent only a few minutes pan frying versus the longer time it takes for raw. You could definitely do these from raw too though! I just find they don't get quite as soft in the middle.

Thanks for all of the great comments.

This is definitely cheaper than the store-bought stuff and you can sweeten it as much you like by adding little by little for yours (or your hubby's tastes).

Brooke - I think this should keep about a week. Though if you kept it packed up in the fridge or even freezer I don't see why it couldn't last a few weeks or longer! Just remember it doesn't have all of those preservatives that you find in your supermarket ones, so a cold place would be your best bet.

I agree Obama gave much stronger responses than Clinton. However, I thought many of the questions from the moderators (not so much from the audience) were inappropriate, for lack of a better word. I mean "Do you think God created the world in 6 days"and "Does God want you to be President" and "Can you tell us about specific moments when you've felt the presence of the Holy Ghost" don't seem relevant to establishing their ability to be POTUS. A person's religious beliefs at that level are private. I can understand the questions on HIV/AIDS, international humanitarian support and abortion but those others were off the wall.

Excellent article. You've done a nice job of comparing the campaigns without denigrating anyone.

I'm caucusing for Obama, but Hillary is my close second. They're both good candidates.

Alabama does have it's own groundhog, named "SMITH LAKE JAKE".

He has been on the american idol reality show predicting that Taylor Hicks would win, and he is on a daily television show in Birmingham, called The Suzuki Man show. Smith Lake Jake is very popular down south. Check him out type in 'SMITH LAKE JAKE', and ypu can pull up his picture under smith lake living.I read somewhere that Smith Lake Jake was featured in 11 magazines, and will soon be in the genis book of world records for the groundhog that has worn the most hats, while doing appearances. I have also heard him on the Rick and Bubba radio show on groundhogs day. Smith Lake Jake is privately owned, by people from Graysville, and he was born on Smith lake. Check him out for his is just too cute!

Re: "Rethink" Human Connection

Amy — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 23:26:00 -0000

I visited my old church a few weeks ago to see one of my college-aged friends perform a solo in the traditional service. There were old hymns, a choir, and all that good stuff they don't have in the "contemporary" service (which is really just a service for baby boomers anyway). Then when it came time for the sermon, the pastor popped onto the big screen at the front of the sanctuary.
Apparently, he was talking to the folks in the "contemporary" service and being broadcast live to the rest of us in the sanctuary. I thought it was ironic, given that we were the "traditional" service, and what's more traditional than actually seeing your pastor at the pulpit? I later learned that he trades off--each week he's live in one of the services, and this week it was the contemporary service's turn.

You want to scream, "Can't we all just sit in the same room and listen to the sermon together?" But, no, we can't. In fact, the issue of music almost divided the church to the point of splitting.

It's not just that--I don't even have to carry my Bible to church anymore because the verses are right in front of me on the big screen. We don't have to talk to each other because we have that whole obligatory greeting thing going on. And yet we're still lonely and depressed.

In fact, some of my loneliest moments have been sitting in the pew. I agree with you--we need to rethink the human connection. If we can't even connect with other Christians, who are are supposed to have "citizenship in Heaven" in common with, then how on earth can we get along with anyone else?

Re: How Can a Woman Lead with Power and Wisdom?

Amy — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 09:08:00 -0000

Yes, Jonalyn, I know of a woman who is a great leader and also feminine. She's my friend, Shannon, a fabulous person who lives in the San Juan Islands. She serves on committees in her church (they're Presbyterian and let women hold leadership positions)and is a great cook. I mean, I've never seen anyone who can love and care for her family (and friends) so tenderly, all the while remaining a great leader. I think part of it comes with age, wisdom, and finding her identity in God alone. She's still vulnerable and emotional, but she has a peace about her, too.

I've asked her what it's like for her to serve on leadership teams where she is the only female. She said that she never flirts and she remains focused on the task--in other words, she believes God gave her a place at the table and she is going to take it boldly. I know that when I've served on youth ministry committees as the only woman (and unmarried person and the youngest person), it was terribly intimidating to me. Plus, it's hard when a group of grown men refuse to listen to you.

I remember being laughed off when I suggested a big youth event should also include a female emcee. I interrupted and loudly asked, "Have any of you ever been a teenage girl?" Silence. No one had. "I was a teenage girl and I know how important it was for me to see a woman on a stage." I said some more great stuff and in the end it didn't change a thing. Yet it did change me. I spoke when I should have been quiet...or that's what such an event would lead me to believe.

I hate it, Jonalyn! Sometimes I'm told that I intimidate guys because I have my convictions and passions, and love to talk to people about them. I generally know what I want and allow God to do what He will with me. But I do struggle with it and I am vulnerable. I'm really not a brownie baker or a nursery worker (although I do like kids). It is really a hard balance, especially since the next great adventure in my life should be "settling down". Does that mean I need to settle? Is the only thing I can do for God now marry some guy? (I secretly wonder if people think having a man will simmer me down.)

It's all very complicated and frustrating, so I'm glad you are addressing it. Someone has to lead the way for women to find a voice because we're not all cookie cutter images of each other and we don't all enjoy making cookies either (although we probably all enjoy eating cookies together).

I don't expect movies to be anything like the books anymore. Like Harry Potter leaves so much out...why even bother to compare the two?

I enjoyed the first Narnia movie--perhaps because I think that James McAvoy is pretty cool. But I'm not a diehard Narnia girl. I read the books when I was a kid, and that's about it.

I expect the books to be better, and just go from there. Plus, I don't think Hollywood will pick up on the Christian themes in the books. They're gonna put in what they think will make money and that's about it.

Re: The "Millenials" are Coming…. speak out!

Amy — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 23:42:00 -0000

OK, so being born in 1980 provides an interesting problem for me--am I Gen-X'er or a Mill? Depends on who you ask, I suppose.

But according to this piece I am a Millenial, so I will comment. I am really tired of people describing Gen-X and Millenials as "lazy" and "self-centered". Guess what? There are lazy and self-centered people in EVERY generation.

I worked my butt through high school, college, and graduate school while working at various jobs and being very involved in my church. I had a work ethic even as a small child doing odd jobs (like taking care of the neighbor's dog when the family went on vacation) and proudly got my first job at 14.

Most, if not all, my friends have led the same lives. A few have had a more glamorous upbringing, like the one described in the article; however, that doesn't represent the majority...at least around here.

I work on several projects at the same time while my roomie works a FT and a weekly job as do two of our good friends who fall into the age bracket. I am tired of people acting like we get life handed to us on a silver platter because we don't.

We don't get the dream job with a B.A. or even a M.A. We have to work just as hard, do jobs that are just as menial, and pray to God that we get ahead.

I hear that these things exist but I never see them. With the youth I've worked with or with the college students I talk to now...no one seems to have these issues. Sure, the college freshman get a little whiny about having too much work to do, but they're freshman--they learn.

It always seems like generations are defined by the its most radical members. Like it seems all baby boomers were pot smoking hippie war protestors--not so. Or that everyone who lived through the 70's did LSD and went to disco clubs--also not true.

For every one person that fits into a stereotype, there are ten that don't.

Re: Halloween Musings

I remember going through a haunted house that the shopping mall I was working in helped out with. It made me want to puke. I don't mind Halloween, trick-or-treat, or dressing up (because dressing up is awesome!) But the scary, gross stuff--so not for me. It doesn't scare me; I just don't like it. Although crazy clowns and psycho doctor scenes do freak me out. I think candy and dressing up is good, and for many people, that's just what it is. Sadly, many people seem to enjoy gross things (Like the movie Saw? I mean, people seriously want to watch people make torturous life and death decisions? Seriously?)

I guess a crooked and depraved world clings to the dark.

Thx for highlighting this article. Academics today must navigate a precarious landscape demarcated by censorship, political correctness and litigious repercussions.

Campbell comments in the article: Science and religion just ask different questions. Both questions deserve to be asked and I believe the opportunity to asks both questions was the intent of the First Amendment: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof ....

Ideas should not be suppressed, but nor should they be worshipped.

Re: Part I: So Kyle, I Want To Move To Chile…

Amy — Thu, 08 May 2008 14:10:00 -0000

Hi I just wanted to chime in and say that I totally agree with everything in your post! I actually moved from the US to Australia to be with a guy, and it put a huge strain on our relationship. (in fact so huge that it didn't end up working out). Australia is very similar to the US in some ways, of course the language is the same, but there are still major cultural differences - for me the biggest problem was that the men and women have a more old-fashioned mentality. Probably not as much macho stuff as in Chile, but basically men do their thing, women do their thing, and in my opinion the men are sometimes less respectful of women than they are in the US.

I'm sure Chile is much harder to deal with than Australia, but the bottom line is that your significant other becomes way too big a part of your life, and you're sort of cut off from your usual life-lines, due to time differences and expense of calling overseas.

Looking back, I just didn't know my boyfriend well enough - if our relationship had been more solid everything would have worked out OK. But it's hard to get to know someone that well if they live halfway around the world from you! :) That being said I don't regret a single thing so I would encourage any of the girls wanting to move to Chile to do it!

Re: People in Russia Who Want to Work in Chile

The MB schools are going to get much worse over next few years. Budget cuts dictated by the follownig article. I am going to have to start paying for private school for my three kids. This will make affording my mortgage a lot harder __ California spends $775 million on Medi-Cal healthcare for illegal immigrants, according to the Legislative Analyst. Of that, $642 million goes into direct benefits. Practically all the rest is paid to counties to administer the program. The federal government generally matches the state dollar-for-dollar on mandatory programs. Educating illegal aliens is the single biggest California taxpayer burden. Last week, I calculated that of California’s 1.5 million non-English speakers attending K-12 schools, about 500,000 are illegal aliens and another 500,000 anchor babies. Depending on how you interpret anchor babies, the state’s education tab for aliens is either $3.5 billion or $7 billion.

Re: what the heck is chocolate entertainment anyway?

Amy — Fri, 27 Jan 2006 17:23:00 -0000

I can accept both sides of the comments save for one. The parking issue is a non-issue. Anyone been to Savannah? Try to get a spot downtown... It's crazy and yet thousands of people manage it everyday. There is a wonderful arts district, there are restaurants, retail shops, even and the entire SCAD college campus. They pump quarters into machines every two hours and they figure it out.

One solution that the city should consider is re-issuing the request for proposals. Producing an RFP that perhaps has more focus on what's best for downtown Jax than on $$. It could claify details of the criteria. I know it's all about the green. But I'd like to be able to walk from here to a pharmacy to get my scrips or maybe for some Advil for the headache I am getting from blogging all day.

Personally I think we need to start building a community downtown. That starts with people, which we have, and a grocery store (as long is it isn't hick-mart), which we don't. Not that I think it should be at the Hayden Burns location, but it should be somewhere.

Re: Save the World

Amy — Sat, 14 Apr 2007 10:56:00 -0000

i reckon that Life would be too easy as Christians if everyone was already saved, i personally love a challange. I do find it sad to think that many of my non-christian friends wont be ending up in the same place as us, but again that gives me the motivation/challange to talk about Gods love for us. I just got to keep praying that one day they'll listen and also that i stay strong not to give up on them!!

Thanks Commissioner for reminding us of the importance of spreading gods word!!

Re: Sarah Lacy on Sarah Lacy and the SXSW Mark Zuckerberg Keynote

Amy — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 22:06:00 -0000

"Sarah Lacy, the person behind the journalist, so that we can have a genuine, honest, and sincere look at her world, both coming into this and leaving with her head up, spirits bruised, but diligence and perseverance stronger than ever."

This belongs in Cosmo Girl! not a tech blog. Seriously.

You would never see this kind of "reporting" if the interviewer was a man. A look at her world? Sincere? Bruised spirits?

Why stop there? Why not add a heart-wrenching half-tearful, half-hopeful glisten to her eye and a slight and not unattractive heave to her saintly chest?

The woman did a terrible job, acted utterly without dignity and she deserves the criticism heaped on her. For all I know, she always does a terrible job, but I had never heard of her before the keynote and certainly have no desire to learn anything more about her in the future.

I am, however, more than slightly disgusted to see her get a free pass because she's got breasts.

The kids and I made these today! I think I did something wrong because the dough wasn't really the consistenty of play dough, but we were still able to make letters out of it and they still tasted great! We will make them again! (Incidentally, I used 1/2 wheat flour and 1/2 all purpose, but that shouldn't have made a difference, right?)

Hey there, and thanks for stopping by my site. I do a lot of reading about adult asthmatics so I know what's in store for my daughter, should her asthma get worse/stick around her whole life....if she has to battle severe asthma as an adult, I want her to do it the way you are, by fighting every step of the way.

Re: New asthma action plan

Amy — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 09:35:00 -0000

"Well with severe or brittle asthmatics, things are a apparently a little more tricky. The primary goal of the action plan often becomes not one of avoiding the ER, but rather, of going to the ER much sooner ,than later."

I think I need to print this out and frame it, for the times when I'm complaining too much. (read: everyday) I need to remember that my daughter could be struggling so much more than she is. You have such an awesome attitude, Steven.

Good luck with the new plan! I hope you won't need to implement it and can keep training.

ok i think i get what ur doing a little more now. its just not a podcast as i had envisioned it and as some other music blogs do them. but i think thats definitely a good thing. ur right it is something u can listen to anywhere, and thats what makes it so much more versatile than a standard podcast. you can listen to it more than once as well as you dont have the talking bits inbetween that u have already heard and have to skip. its basically the equivalent of putting ur ipod on shuffle and getting really lucky with what comes out! and i love that.

so yes u have changed my mind! and of course i will be downloading the next one :)

We gave our firstborn the middle name JOY for this very reason. We need to choose it.
The joy we felt when we were FINALLY pregnant..and the almost 2 years of waiting and trying was in God's choosing and we needed to find JOY in the whole experience. --whether we were blessed with baby or not!
This is wonderful. Thank you.

Thanks for that.

I can't help but think of Paul. Stuck in jail (which I'm sure your sickness must feel like a sort-of-jail sometimes?), not a place anyone of us would like to frequent I'm sure. Yet he managed to take his circumstances and pen God's words.
I'd probably be crying in bed most days, waiting for someone to come and tell me I was going to be okay..
yet, you, like Paul, live in the moment, the day, and give it all you've got.

Thank you.

Re: 6 Ways To Defuse Anti-Cyclist Road Rage

Amy — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 21:02:06 -0000

I live in Chicago. And YES the salmon bike thing -- all over the place! I live in a neighborhood with a lot of four way stops and I don't think I've EVER seen a bike stop at these. It drives me crazy because the bikes seem to appear out of nowhere. This is a hazard both when I'm driving AND when I'm walking.

I walk far more than I drive. And on foot, I've nearly been HIT by bikes several times.

Also, I hate it when bikes climb onto the sidewalk and zip around me. Honestly, there's not a lot of room on the sidewalk and they're fast...

I want a better biking situation in Chicago in general -- I think it would be great. I'd love it if there were LOTS more, and safer places, for bikes to ride. But man, why are bikes above the law? I love the idea of ticketing the non-stopping bikers and the ones that go against traffic.

Re: Dancing Rabbit EcoVillage

Amy — Sat, 09 Jul 2005 12:13:19 -0000

Dancing Rabbit is set up to be a diverse village in many ways. Our village does not discriminate based on age, color, race, religion, gender or sexual preference. We have omnivores, vegetarians, vegans and in the past, raw foodists -- all in various styles of eating scenes. Most households are financially independent, but we also have an income-sharing subcommunity. We're hoping to grow to 500-1000 people, so we encourage people looking to start a community to come start a subcommunity within Dancing Rabbit.

I like to think that we're creating an ecovillage for the masses. Though right now we're looking for more people with a pioneering spirit to help us grow. Please feel free to contact us with questions!

I agree with the above comments. I've been vegetarian or vegan for the past 12 years (currently vegetarian), and still do not understand the vegan community's endorsement of plastic products. What about reclaimed leather or cellulosics like bamboo and hemp? Or, at least, reused plastic? Unfortunately, "vegan" is not synonymous with "sustainable - the makers admit that synthetic leather is not "environmentally ideal". Something that needs to be taken into account by a young company like Matt & Nat is that continued harm to the overall environment is cruel to all living creatures. /rant

Re: Waterloo Grad Students Win $25,000 for Bike-Share Program Proposal

Amy — Wed, 14 May 2008 09:24:59 -0000

I don't think Waterloo is the first to have a bikeshare.

Toronto had a successful bikesharing program for several years.

Bikeshare, run by the Community Bicycle Network, was even cheaper than the Waterloo program (a one time membership fee for the year meant access to hundreds of bikes all over the city), didn't have an age limit, and was a lovely addition to the transportation landscape of Toronto.

I think they had too many tire slashing incidents, and not enough donations, and maybe no grants, because Bikeshare has been on hiatus for about a year now.

This information is easily found through a Google search, and I'm surprised the reporter didn't know about it.Maybe I've missed something?

I'm amazed that Republicans in Illinois have not

value, that is if they can get away from Bush and
deficit governance,
and if this state is socially liberal, they cannot
hope to gain with the scary Christian Right.
perhaps their business world view is polluted with
too many Enrons, but Republicans claim themselves
to be able to deal with numbers. Why can't they do that? usage levels, usage fees, site evaluation,
hard choices for where services are provided
and whether they work. actually, republican
or democrat, I'd appreciate all levels of
government in Illinois to do things this way.

pass out all the microscopes! after saturday, I
more unhappy with him.

1)he's taking a page from the W playbook, the
"generation" theme, using the word over and over.
here's a quote from The Case for Hillary Clinton
(Estrich) p. 152 "What would you do if you
were running against Hillary? - answer from a friend who isn't but might want to work for her
someday - ....turn her into Ann Richards. Do
to her what George W. did. Nice old lady, but old
ideas. Mumbo jumbo. Part of the past. Nothing
personal. Still hasn't gotten over health care.
Still talking about the Clinton administration.
He looks old. She sounds old. My guy is the next
generation."

he's bashing Hillary, not Edwards.

2) was there one word in the speech about
reproductive rights? civil rights, gay bashing, but not reproductive rights. Illinois is
the bluest state in the nation on this issue and
we have worked hard to keep our state strongly
pro choice. why did he not say it in the most
important speech of his life? Women deserve
this in the speech. He's a U.S. Senator from
Illinois. Why does he not represent us on this
issue with conviction?

not happy.

"When will the next female leader break through
in Illinois?....." Let's start with that question.

Why assume that next female leader means one
woman? why not just state that there are new
women in leadership in State Legislative positions
and women are likely for key municipal and
Congressional, etc. races?

or that we need more women in leadership
positions. it's not about
one woman; it's about getting closer to 50%.
Frankly, the recent gains in Senate leadership
are long overdue. The percentage of women alive
is just over 50%. That's our goal, not one
woman in "leadership." Ask yourself if other
groups, well, other than white men, are as
silent as women on the issue of adequate
representation. Ask yourself
if it was easy for women to gain those new
leadership positions and whether some men
vocally opposed
those appointments as more of an impediment
to them than those of new appointments of men
in leadership positions.

women are under a microscope for all sorts of
things, especially in politics. let's put
the microscope on inequality and get louder
about changing things.

it's not that they expect him to be up on all the

has to answer for stuff at home if he keeps taking
credit for how he solved things when he was here.

reporters may dig into Obama's fiscal dealings
in the legislature and ask if they contributed
in any way to the current mess.

of course, pretty soon Obama may want to answer
for things here cause the "quiet riot" comments

opinion is that the term is problematic. we can

Re: Obamarama – Sun-Times unearths Rezko letters

Fact: Obama did legal work for Rezko before he
was elected to office.

Fact: Obama sent a letter on behalf of Rezko's
company sometime after the legal work when Obama
was elected to office.

that alone is usually enough to send clean government types screaming to the press.

what was the time period between the work and the
letter? was it as long as government ethics
requirements for employees?

if you worked in government and worked anywhere near the dealings with Rezko, it was WIDELY known that something was hinky in the world of
the former CHA chief, Alison Davis, Rezko and anyone who came near them. obama knows better.

and so do you who condone him playing the game. Just because he's from Illinois does not mean you
have to play dumb along with him. unless you want

better than his lawyer. Barack, you can't be both

or decides on a felony or gets an over-ride referral if they say no and the police want a felony(in the case of murder) or
in the case of Juveniles, cases are referred.
The State's Attorney does not make a magic
decision to create drug cases. Once again,
I implore you, look at the arrests. they are
real. Look at victims. They are real. Victims
deserve justice.

The State's Attorney's Office needs someone who
understands how to prosecute. A former
assistant prosecutor would be nice. Is there
one among the pols who understands that the Office
is not some socially balancing experiment but a
professional office that goes after justice?

Brookins was an ASA, but he seems not to remember
his roots. Dart was an ASA for at least a short time. Perhaps Devine should step
down, put Dart in the slot and give the Sheriff's
Office to an African American in Law Enforcement.
Or coax one of the many African American former
Assistant State's Attorneys who are now judges
to become the State's Attorney.

granted this governor thing is just nuts. but
does anyone think a budget bill that does not
help the CTA is a good thing? GRod has done
a great job of slipping right into Madigan's
trap by doing poorly. but even if GRod was
doing well, Madigan would still be going at
him. Because Madigan is into the public good?
Wouldn't the public good include helping
the CTA and solving the property tax exemption
issue long ago? isn't anyone concerned that
the Speaker is running unchecked in a whole
different way?

actually, maybe we can blame Julie on this one.
a sales tax increase and a transfer tax, both
taxes on consumers and we're supposed to like
that? Julie's heart is certainly in the right
place, and in her super liberal mind,with her
rich constituency, this does not hurt. but
in the bungalow belt, it does, hence the no
go from the gov, in my opinion. Madman, oops,
Madigan, knows that, in fact, I don't think his
constituents would like those kinds of taxes.
so, once again, mr. mike get his way. and
the riders wait and wait.

amen to Obama Needs that..... Just what has
he done since he got to the Washington he
hates so much? Springfield is in a shambles and
his pals are to blame. When Obama was in the State
Senate he was soft on crime and absent when
half the choice votes were taken. This guy moved
to Chicago to run for office and he is
just another politician with a progressive
veneer and a rotten core. he can't even
stop staring down his nose at others in a
debate forum. Obama's arrogance is stunning.

"You receive a call today from your preferred partyâ€™s chamber leader. He....."

imagine if the party's chamber leaders were
Barbara Flynn Currie, Renee Kosel, Christine
Radogno, and Debbie Halvorson. THAT would
change my opinion on how I would answer the
call.

time to make some changes in the leadership
of each chamber. there are no where near
enough women in leadership in any of the
chambers let alone a woman in any top post.
time to change that.

hey Loop Lady, guess we need to get a water meter
in your house cause there are meters in lots of
Chicago houses. they should cross reference all
the employees in the Building Dept. to ensure
that they all have a meter in their house cause
I know of some who do not. coincidence?

Peraica....no class whatsoever. Suffredin and Allen are both very smart and Tom Dart is pretty smart too. Brookins was an ASA for a year and has no quality. If the African American community
is serious about a candidate for the post they
have to look beyond the Pincham/Jackson realm and
treat this position with respect. Find a former
Assistant State's Attorney who actually did the job well and is respected. look among the judges.

surely his lawyers looked at this and said it
is worth a shot. and why not. Pork or
healthcare? That's an easy call. and if Lisa
Madigan has to weigh in on the legal dispute and
does not side with health care, woe to her. this
looks good for the people of Illinois.

Ryan did NOT look at the cases from an individual
perspective. He could not possibly have done
that BECAUSE VIRTUALLY ALL of them are GUILTY. His
blanket wipe out of death row is one of the most
cynical acts from a government official in history.
Victims do not forget. And guys like Aaron Patterson, who got actually hurt more people than
his most publicized case, now rots for more
crime after. thanks George for putting evil
back on the streets.

George Ryan should be sentenced to a personal visit
from a family member from each of the death row
monsters he took off the death wait. He should never forget the pain he
inflicted on them. And, he should get a visit
from the jail guards who have to fear the rath
of those who sit without fear that they will
die soon. George Ryan and the so called
innocence project...what a joke.

Rich, you run a good blog. But that column
contained thoughts which made the blood boil
at our breakfast table this morning. Anyone
who read the individual cases of the Death Row
released would weap for the victims. Not Ryan.
Somehow he likes hanging out with Andrea Lyon and
her ilk who think John Wayne Gacy should still
be alive...hey, he would have been pardoned too
under this scenario. Perhaps George showed his
"Lurleen" personality around you, the one he
shows his wife. The truth is that he has
always been a petty bureaucrat, concerned with
money grubbing power grabbing. It also matters
not to him that his office policies led to the
death of those children on the highway. And,
have you ever met Scott Fawell? That creep and
his boss buddy Ryan are two of a kind....weird,
arrogant and......GUILTY.

The rotting of Ryan in the federal pen cannot
start fast enough.

hmmm, unfortunate choice of words re Obama's
fundraising.....above water.

obama is currently found praying in New Orleans.
while no one can compare the Illinois situation
to New Orleans, why is Obama not in Illinois
observing the flooding and comforting the people?
there are some who are losing alot. Does Durbin
work for Obama now? cause he always throws
Obama into any comments he makes. Durbin was
walking barefoot through the waters.

Obama could have spent one day in Illinois doing
his job as our Senator. i'm sure the people
in the Fox Lake area could use some comfort.

also, bad of Obama to skip the cancer forum. I know he has the steepest learning curve and it
is difficult to grasp details on so many subjects,
but, if Hillary had opted out of forums there
would have been a firestorm of anger at her.

obama is above water because of Illinois money. Maybe Illinois should keep the money at home. there are plenty of people who can use all sorts
of help here now cause their homes are under
water.
