11:36am

       I really wish I was busy at home, cleaning and sewing and washing windows, but alas, I’m here, and there’s nothing I can do about it.

       This morning we woke up at 6:30am, and thankfully neither of us had to have a shower, cause we did yesterday, and my hair is still pretty curly, so I just washed my face and brushed my teeth.

       I threw on some of my old Adidas capris, that have been too tight to wear for the past couple years, and they fit today!!! So I’m wearing the green capris, and a pink Bass Pro tshirt, and flip flops.

       I put our lima bean chili in a storage container, and brought it to work today for lunch, and I will be eating that shortly. It’s 237 calories per serving, or thereabouts, I know it’s in the 200’s somewhere.

       I had Lucky Charms for breakfast, 300 calories, and have had a few cups of coffee, 200= 500 so far today. That Lima Bean chili will make 750, so I’m well on my way today to doing good.

       Yesterday, I had Lucky Charms for breakfast (300), pizza for lunch (700) coffee (200) lima bean chili (250) 1 beer (110) = 1550 minus I walked for 20 minutes, 1 mile burned 120 calories = 1430 yesterday. Pretty good I’d say, considering I had pizza.

       So if I make that 250 calories meal tonight, I will have had 1000 calories today, plus I will walk tonight, so I will be at about 880 calories for the day. I love it when I cook healthy!

       Tomorrow is pay day, so I’ll be out and about tomorrow, so I’m going to get my grocery list together sometime today or tomorrow, and go to the grocery while I’m out. I think I’ll go to Hancock’s while I’m in Monroe as well, and possibly go to Super One too, since we are boycotting Walmart.

       I’d like to go by Dollar Tree too, cause everythings a dollar in there, and see what all they got.

       The Democratic Convention came on last night, and I don’t understand how people can be that way, and live with themselves. They support ABORTION. I have come to the decision, that the reason that women have abortions, is because they don’t want their babies, but they don’t want anyone else to have them either. So they kill them. They abort them. That person is alive, and isn’t even given a chance at life, to live. That baby isn’t even given a chance to be born, to live, to have a life. They are subjected to violence in their own mother’s womb! They are murdered before their very first breath, by their own mother.

       I have put this in the Lord’s hands, and I trust HIM to do something about it, because the people of this world can’t be entrusted to let people live anymore, and have made it legal to take life before a person even gets a chance to have a life. There are no words, I can’t even come up with a name to call this.

       There’s  no one to vote for, I don’t feel good about voting for Romney or Obama, or that Libertarian candidate either, so I’m just not going to vote at all. For the first time since I was 18, I’m skipping out on the election.  

       I’m worried about where America is headed, but I trust in the Good Lord above, that He has us in His Hands, and He will bring us back to Him, as we are a nation founded under God, my God, and we will always be. That will never change. God will get HIS country back.

       I don’t think it’s the end of the world, by any means, but I do think we are in for some hard times ahead. I think we will live through the hard times, and make it through to the other side, and see better days, more peaceful days.

       It’s hard to imagine right now, but I believe God will see us through, and his blessings are on the other side of these hard times.

       I pray that we start manufacturing again, producing our own fuel, eating from our own crops, using the cotton the Lord has produced for us to make fabric, clothing, blankets, all goods, that we start building with wood, stone, brick, steel, iron, gold. That we produce the goods from the earth, and be thankful to the Lord, who has provided for us all. That we tear down the old abandoned buildings, use the scraps, build new buildings. That we grow as a nation together, in this century.

       That we supply an honest and fair wage, and working conditions, that we work hard together, and love one another unconditionally in Jesus Christ. That every man is the other’s friend, and that each would die for his neighbor, his family, and his country.

       I pray the Lord start us on that path, together as a nation, believing in Jesus, and His path for our lives, and our nation, trusting in Him to deliver us, and provide blessings for us, and that He is the Maker, and the Healer of our own hearts, and of our lands, and that we LOVE HIM FREELY, with all our hearts, minds, and souls, and mights.

       May we take care of the poor, the sick, the homeless, and the needy out of our own pocket, and our own hearts, providing freely to them without government assistance.

       I’m drinking coffee now, it’s 12:50, but I really need to be cleaning off a desk, and filing some papers.

       I want to go home and sew and mow my yard, but the skeeters are so bad outside. The minute we open the car door about 10 or so of them scramble inside the car, we have to run and kill bugs half the day.

       I planned on cleaning the windows of the car today, so I guess that’s what I’m about to do, if it’s not too hot outside, and I can find some OFF.
