Guess who loves his Grandmommy Mae?????? Logan does!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SNNNNNZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

I was very happy to be there.......

Playing very intently!!!!

???

Am I understanding this right? Some of the top priorities of the first days of our new president have been to take some of the restrictions off abortion funding and to begin the release of political detainees from Gitmo? Hmmmmm.....wonder what will be next??? Why should allowing easier access to kill the unborn be such a predominant topic that it had to be near the top of his list of "changes"? I am deeply grieved. I don't know enough about stem cell research to comment on that, but if he is talking about stem cells from embryos well then, that just makes it even better, doesn't it. A double whammy. And the detainees??? Well....I guess all of our CIA folks and their cohorts are PROBABLY just a bunch of bullies who get their jollies from being unkind to poor, misguided terrorist types. Let's let them all go....do you think we will be providing them with transportation to Pakistan and Africa so they can hook up with their buddies more easily. You know, I don't agree with a lot of President Bush's thinking, but he is right about one thing...there has not been a terrorist attack on American soil since 9/11. Is that a co-incidence? Or perhaps, just maybe....some of the work at Gitmo has been necessary. I abhor the thought of torture/water boarding etc. I totally admire John McCain who having BEEN tortured by the VietCong decries torture by Americans....but I don't see that detaining these folks qualifies as torture. I know, I know...there are talks of waterboarding etc. When I look at the pros and cons of that, I don't know what to say. I'd like to think I was strong enough to go along with John McCain's viewpoint, but honestly if an American city was at stake...well...I'm not sure that would hold up for me. So...these are just some of my ramblings....but everytime my home page opens to yahoo news and I see another new thing that President Obama has instigated or done away with or planned.....well....it's really difficult. And...it has only been 4 days.

Such a long time!!!

It has been such a long time between posts because my computer is spazzed out at home and won't let me sign in to my blog!!!!!! So, basically you just need to take a look at some of these gorgeous pictures of my beautiful little grandson....HE IS SOOOOOOOOOO CUTE!!!!!!!!!

Soooooo handsome........................

Can you believe how much he looks like a baby already instead of a newborn?????? Obviously, an extremely talented, highly skilled, totally above average child. (Gee...can you tell his grandma mae wrote this????)

The Rock....

I came across the greatest prayer this morning....it really sums it up, doesn't it?? The explanation prior to this prayer was about the wise man building his house upon the rock. We WILL be buffeted. We WILL make mistakes. We WILL have difficult circumstances in life. However, those things should NOT define who we are. If you know Jesus...HE has become our identity. Who we are in HIM. Not our circumstances. Kind of hard to really wrap your mind around, but totally true, nonetheless. We have an amazing God who loves us amazingly.

Dear Lord, Thank You that my identity does not have to be determined by the circumstances of my life. Help me to hear Your Words, put them into practice and stand firm on Your truth. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Funny thing....

You know...sometimes when you are on your own, you really think you are "on your own". But, I can't tell you the number of people who have asked about my new grandson, really seemed like they actually wanted to see the pictures and were fussing at me because I hadn't sent out an announcement when he was born. That made me feel very special. It's nice to have friends that care.....

Best Wishes for a Grand New Year....

Well...one more time. Thanks, Lord! I appreciate the opportunity to do better in another year!
