I find it very disturbing that some people are now being forced to support projects/materials/agenda that go against their beliefs. I would not expect someone to produce a work of mine if they did not agree with my beliefs. Once again things appear to be very one sided. The cry of discrimination is heeded only when it is screamed by certain individuals. Talk about double standard. What exactly is the definition of religious freedom if it does not allow you to refuse to support something that goes against your relgious beliefs.
This is an article about a Christian business that is being forced to duplicate a film supporting the gay agenda. I would not expect a businessman who was gay to duplicate a Christian film if they do not agree with the content. What is next? A christian business forced to support pornography?

I know this is in Canada, but we are headed the same way!
Now if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives to all generously and without reproach; and it will be given to him. ~James 1:5

On Leave Now
Well, yesterday was my last day at work. I'm officially on maternity leave now. You'd think I'd be doing great and in a wonderful mood, but last night and today I've found myself in a bit of a depressed mood.
Maybe it is that I've not been posting my "Happy Ups" the last couple days. Nah!
I think it has to do with me being tired and coming down from a few stressful weeks. I've been going so much trying to make sure everything was taken care of before I left work for 9 weeks that now I'm coming down off the "stress high" I've been on. It will probably hit me more on Monday when I don't go to work. Right now it is still like a normal weekend.
The good news for me to concentrate on now (once I catch up on some sleep) is that I have time to get ready for the new baby and to get some serious writing done that I've been wanting to do. I also should be getting some new books later this week that I ordered and can start doing some serious reading that I've not had time for lately.
I'm sure on Monday I'll be back to my normal happy self and looking forward to the next weeks! And when I go back to work, I now have the position I've been wanting for a couple years now. I'm excited about that!

Blogs - What are they?
My husband is not much of a reader or writer, therefore he does not quite understand my interest in keeping up a blog of my own or in reading the blogs of others. However, yesterday I must admit he had a good quesiton.
"What is a blog?"
I started to explain to him what people use them for, but that was not what he was asking. He wanted to know what "blog" meant.
Well, I tried to look it up online on Webster's but it is only listed on the collegiate site which is not their FREE site. So I did a search online and pretty much just found a ton of websites which help you set up a blog of your own and/or track blogs.
I finally found something that did not specifically state what "blog" means but it did prod my mind into a theory.
I believe "blog" is basically something that has come about because of our laziness and need for a snappy name for things. I believe it is short for Web Log. We just dropped the "We" off the front and smashed it together.
Anyway, that is my thought for the day. Not anything earth shattering but it was something to write about. Now I'm going to turn off my brain and get some sleep! Good Night!!

Happy Up 4 (Wednesday)
I know I'm behind a day on posting, but between work and being tired all the time now (1st priority when I get home is spending time with family) I've gotten behind. I do think about these and determine my three items each night before bed. I'm just not getting them posted the same day.
1. Baby Shower - On Wednesday, my staff (now ex-staff, I guess) hosted a baby shower for me at work. Everyone really seemed to enjoy themselves and it was nice for everyone to get a break from work for an hour to play games and laugh. Even some of the guys in the department joined in!
2. Good Night's sleep - The other day Shaun looked at me and asked if my stomach could get any bigger! This baby is going to be at least as big as Austin was, if not bigger. However, this means it is hard to get comfortable at night and get a good nights sleep. That and the fact that I am getting up at least 6 times a night to use the bathroom. Wednesday morning I woke up very rested. I think I was just so exhausted that I just konked out, but I slept very good!
3. Good Apple Pie - On Tuesday, Shaun had made an apple pie for me for House Church. Well a lot of desserts showed up that night so the apple pie was not finished off. Therefore, we were able to enjoy it. After Austin was in bed, Shaun and I sat down with Tyler, ate apple pie and watched the first half of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch & the Wardrobe. We watched the other half with her tonight!

Day of Silence
Okay, for those of you who are concerned with being "PC" you may be offended, so I advise not to read further without being forewarned.
What is the deal with being PC anyway? We are so concerned with hurting someone's feelings that we are not honest any longer. We can be honest in love, you know. In fact that is what God commands of us. We are to be honest and uphold His principles, but do it in a loving way. However, nowadays even when you are honest in a loving way you can be called a bigot. Just because you do not see eye to eye with someone. I'm tired of being told I should be tolerant by those who say they are so tolerant but are only so with those who agree with them! This whole PC idea is harming our country and our children. We can't fail a child because it might hurt their self-esteem. What happened to teaching our children to work their hardest and do their best?
But I digress. Today while getting ready for work it was announced on the local news channel that today was a Day of Silence in support of the gay movement. I've looked at a couple sites regarding this, one which gives the history of the day. It states this day was set up to protest the silencing of lesbian, gay, bisexual and trangenders due to discrimination. I can't say I've been noting silence from that camp lately.
I have absolutely no problem with the fact that EVERYONE deserves to be treated with respect. However, treating someone with respect means they can have opinions of their own. I have friends who live this lifestyle, however that does not mean I need to support or agree with their lifestyle. I believe it is against God's commandments and I'm not ashamed to say so. I should not be called names because of my opinion. Why is it okay for others to voice thier beliefs and say everyone must be tolerant, but this does not apply to Christians who want to express their beliefs?
There is a big difference between protecting those with different beliefs from physical harm and discrimination and forcing others to buy into those beliefs. I will speak of my beliefs and why I believe what I do, but I know it is your choice as to whether you agree with me or not. I would like the same respect. You may not agree with me, but don't require me to buy into what you believe.
I think one of the major problems with this country lately is the idea that we should all be tolerant, however it is applied so very selectively. America's idea of tolerant is very ironic. I find it ironic that we have a National Day of Silence, however nobody seems to care that this crusade against discrimination has turned into a silencing of anyone who believes differently from what they believe.

Happy Up 3 (Yesterday's Happy Ups)
Okay, so I did not get this posted yesterday, but I did think about them. After work I had some very special people over to my home and once they left I just crashed for the night.
1. Simple Church - Awhile back the traditional church I attend decided to try something different. We dismantled our traditional church and our traditional ways of thinking and started meeting in house churches. Each week we meet together for a meal and to fellowship, study the word and be a family. Basically we are the church. The groups are no more than 20 individuals so we really get to know one another. Then once a month all the house/simple churches meet in one place for a Celebration. Well, my house church meets on Tuesday nights and last night we started meeting at my home (we rotate through homes) and will continue to do so for a few weeks (at least until the baby is born). I love getting together with my family and it was a blessing to have them in my home last night.
2. My children - I've been a bit stressed at work lately because I'm going out on maternity leave the end of this week and I'm trying to get a bunch of projects done before then and train others on taking over the Supervisor role that is no longer mine (YEAH!) and train someone on the items I will take back on when I return. After a long stressful day, it is always refreshing to go pick up my little ones and have them sooo happy to see me. They are so excited to see me and that just lifts your spirits after a long hard day.
3. My husband - I must say my hubby makes my days happy. He is not a Believer and does not participate in church house (in fact he hides in the garage pretty much the entire time everyone is here) but he is so supportive of me. He has absolutely no problem with our house being "invaded by Jesus Freaks" along with all the children that go along with them. He is friendly (at least for him, one of few words) with the guys that wander out to the garage to see how his Harley project is going along and he even made an apple pie so I would not have to worry about coming home from work and making something for our church house family dinner.

Happy Up 2
Okay, I went back to work today so the happy up was a bit more difficult today. Not because I'm not enjoying my job now, but because I'm tired and don't get to take my nap. But that does get me to my first happy up for the day!
1. No more management - today I spent time with my ex-staff members and the new manager I am training to take over the AP Supervisor position going over goals & objectives for the year. This means I officially am no longer a manager. As of now my official title is Senior Financial Analyst. This means I get to do all the things I enjoy at work (process improvements, training, mini audit, I know - boring, I'm an accountant though!) but no longer have to deal with the drama that goes along with the managing of others. I get to interact with all the people in my department without being responsible for them. Yeah!!
2. Massage - After work today I went to see my friend Tanya who is a wonderful massage therapist. With the stress of all the projects I'm needing to finish up before I go on maternity leave the end of the week, I was really in need of this. I really enjoy my massages, but especially when I'm pregnant. Pregnancy just does some nasty things to your body and stress added to that can really make you feel old at times. But now I feel great!!!
3. Coupons - I purchased the 2 DVD set of Narnia - The Lion, The Witch & the Wardrobe. I have the whole set of the Narnia books and have been reading them to my daughter. I saw this movie in the theater with my father (who recently read the books) as a birthday present for me. My daughter is also wanting to see this, so I decided it was one worth buying. Better yet, a friend of mine gave me a $5 off coupon that I was able t use today when I purchased the movie. Coupons are great!

Happy UP - Day 1
Awhile back, Scott Nutter posted on his blog about a study by Martin Seligman which showed people who looked back over their day and identified three things that made them happy for a week were happier, even 6 months later! He challenged his readers to try this for a week.
Well, I've just read over this part of his blog so I did not particpate back when he originally wrote it but I figured it is never too late to start. Also, it is just another way for me to write on a daily basis.
So here goes. . . HappyUP day 1 (I'm borrowing Scott's cool name since my preggie brain is having trouble coming up with my own snappy name!)
1. Lazy Day - Today has been a "lazy day" for me. Shaun is out of work at the moment and therefore keeping the house very clean so there was not much for me to do around the house. I enjoyed having the day to do some reading and surf the web reading blogs of some of my friends. And of course I came across this Happy UP idea for this week. This also means I was able to take a nap today, being 8 months pregnant makes this a very goood and happy thing in my book!
2. Shaun's dream job - I know this is Shaun's dream but anything to do with him obviously affects me. And of course if he is happy, I am happy. As mentioned above he is out of work right now because the shop he was working at is shutting down. He recently rebuilt a Harely he bought from his grandfather and loved doing the work. This week he bought a Harley needing some work and now has his first project. He is wanting to start rebuilding bikes for a living and this is his start! He has someone that he is going in with who owns a paint booth and will be doing the paint jobs. I am so happy for him and praying this dream of his will work out.
3. Baby Present - I had a neighbor come by today to drop off a gift for the new baby. I just LOVE getting baby clothes. They are so small and so cute! I can already imagine myself holding this new little life in my arms. And boy is he an active one. Once again he has been active all day long, usually whenever I sit down to rest. Tyler & Austin like to put their hands on my tummy and feel him move. They think it is funny to feel him kick them. Tyler actually helped me unwrap the present for him today. She is so excited about her new baby brother.
So there are my three Happy UPs for the day. I actually feel better already! Thank you Lord for all the little good things in my life!

In His Eyes
Just something from one of my writing lessons that I came across today and thought I'd share. I was supposed to use word pictures to describe how God interacts with us.
* * * * * *
The first thing I noticed about Him was His eyes. Not the color, as I could not tell you the color, even though I’d spent the whole night stealing glances at Him. What caught my attention was what I sensed behind His eyes: hope and grace, unfaltering love. It seemed He saw to the very core of my being and knew things about me even I did not know. I was afraid to meet His eyes, but could not tear my gaze away. The power I saw behind those eyes simultaneously terrified and comforted me. I knew, no matter how dark my soul, this was the One that could erase all the squalidness. This was the One who could renew my life and fill me with radiance brighter than the sun and more pure than freshly fallen snow.

Passover - Part 1
I know Passover for this year has already passed, but since I'm still doing a study of the Lord's Feasts and this is the first one, that is what I'll be talking about today.
First I want to say I attended a Passover dinner put on by a local church this year. We actually did this on Friday night (4/14) although the actual Passover began this year at sundown, April 12th. Passover was meant to be celebrated in a smaller intimate setting than what I experienced from this Passover meal, however it was a wonderful learning opportunity for me. I believe my house church group (about 12 of us, not counting the children) will be celebrating next year in a more intimate setting.
"On the fourteenth day of the first month at twilight is the Lord's Passover." (Lev. 23:5)
Nisan 14th
Exodus 11 - In this chapter the 10th plague is described as occurring at midnight when God would pass through the land and kill the firstborn of all families and cattle.
Exodus 12 - God outlines the steps to be taken by His people who trusted Him in order to avoid the plague, in order to be "passed over".
Requirements for Passover
* A year old male lamb, perfect with no flaws or defects was to be taken from the flock on the 10th of Nisan
* For four days the family was to take the lamb into their homes to ensure it was fit for the sacrifice and to become attached to the lamb. In this way the lamb became "their lamb".
* At sunset on the 14th day of Nisan the lamb was to be publicly killed and the family was to apply the blood of the lamb to their doorpost.
* The innocent lamb became a substitute so the Lord's judgment "passed over" the family.
At the time of the first (and true) Passover, the month of Nisan became the first month in the Jewish religious calendar.
God's requirements for the Passover Meal
God required three items for the Passover Meal to be eaten:
1. Lamb - a young lamb was chosen to symbolize innocence. It was roasted over a fire to symbolize the judgment of the first born
2. Matzah (unleavened bread) - this symbolized the purity of the sacrifice because leaven symbolized sin.
3. Bitter Herbs - served as a reminder of the suffering of the lamb (and of the Jews as slaves in Egypt).
Importance of Passover
1. There was only one Passover when the Lord passed through the land as judgment. All other celebrations since then have been a memorial to this one true Passover.
2. Passover is the oldest, continuously observed feast in existance today. It has been celebrated for some 3,5000 years.
3. Even today more Jewish people observe Passover than any other Jewish holy day.
4. Passover was so important to the Lord that He allowed those who could not celebrate on the 14th of Nisan (those defiled by touching a dead body or who were away on a long journey) to celebrate Passover 30 days later on the 14th of the second month. This is the only holy feast for which He made an accomodation such as this.
