labels

Tonight, my husband and I were listening to a radio talk show. The host was talking about how two college football fans were killed over the weekend simply because they were wearing shirts with their college of choice logo on them. So he was wondering what labels his listeners wanted to be known for. He wanted the label that meant the most to us. Like one man called up and said he wanted to be known as an Atheist. Another woman called and said she wanted to be known as a mother. As I was listening, I was thinking about what I would say if asked that question. First, I thought of a wife. I take that responsibility very seriously. But then I thought of my membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I thought that would be the most important thing in my life. But then I thought of the greatest answer of all. I am a Child of God. That is the thing I want to be known for most. That is the greatest compliment any one could give me. Because I know that I am a child of God, everything else falls into place. Because I know I am a child of God, people know how I should act and speak. Because I know I am a child of God, people know what kind of person I am. What greater compliment can there be?

Election 2008

Well, like a lot of you, I went to bed last night a bit disappointed. Loosing the presidency, seems a bit less important when I think what we lost here in Washington state, but mostly in Seattle. First, Dino Rossi lost to Christine Gregoire again. So here we go with a state income tax on top of everything else. Oh joy. Anyway, in Seattle, the "politically correct liberals" passed propositions to raise taxes even more to fund a transit plan that benefits no one. Using public moneys to fix a tourist landmark, Pikes Place Market. Yes, I think it does need to be fixed up, but do we have to use tax dollars to do it? Apparently so.
Anyway, so Barrack Obama is going to be President now. Well, because I am an American, he is my President, but he will never be my Messiah. I don't mean to be a sore looser, but I think the liberal media assisted Mr Obama to victory. They seemed to be telling the country the last several months that the election was over, Obama wins. So us conservatives were perhaps so down-troddened that we already felt defeated, McCain couldn't possibly win. I think McCain did alot better than a lot of people thought he would. Anyway, we go forward and onward, proudly clinging to our guns and our religion.
