{Me Thinks ....}


What weekend it was so busy my little brother got married Saturday and it was SO cold. But it was a great day and turned out good for them she wanted to be married outside and she did good thing we had blankets coats and snuggle buddies!! It was so nice to be with my five siblings and their kids and spouses its weird that we are all married now.Only one more on D's side!! With three weddings this year I think we are burned out ha ha!!
Time does go by so fast I think I say that every week but its so true I still feel like he is ten! it was fun to spend time together, plus sunday we got to see alot of D's fam too for dinner and it was general conference this weekend we caught as much as we could but look forward to reading or watching what we missed I love General Conference!

For ME THINKS my sister sent this to me today and
I thought it was awesome so I'm sharing it...

Its written by a 15 year old in Ohio:

New Pledge of Allegiance

Since the Pledge of Allegiance and The Lords Prayer
are not allowed in Schools anymore
because the word "GOD" is mentioned
A kid in Ohio wrote the following....


NEW School prayer :


Now I sit me down in school
Where praying is against the rule
For this great nation under God
Finds mention of Him very odd.

If Scripture now the class recites,
It violates the Bill of Rights.
And anytime my head I bow
Becomes a Federal matter now.

Our hair can be purple, orange or green,
That's no offense; it's a freedom thing..
The law is specific, the law is precise..
Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.

For praying in a public hall
Might offend someone with no faith at all.
In silence alone we must meditate,
God's name is prohibited by the state.

We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks,
And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks..
We can carry smut, but not the Bible.
To quote the Good Book makes me liable.

We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,
And the 'unwed daddy,' our Senior King.
It's 'inappropriate' to teach right from wrong,
We're taught that such 'judgments' do not belong.

We can get our condoms and birth controls,
Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles.
But the Ten Commandments are not allowed,
No word of God must reach this crowd.

It's scary here I must confess,
When chaos reigns the school's a mess.
So, Lord, this silent plea I make:
Should I be shot; My soul please take!
Amen

Seems to me that we need GOD more than ever in our lives, in our Schools, in our Homes and definitely in our Communities... Nothing else seems to be working.... you get rid of God you lose....its obvious don't you think???

Well thats what me thinks anyway lol!!!

Have a great Fall week....

I think we skipped fall here and went straight to winter!

Aww, T.J. did pictures, she's awesome hey. And I've heard the other photographer is good too. I love weddings, especially with family. It looks like you had a great weekend!

Cute pics from the wedding! I love the poem. I put a video on just a few minutes about the Pledge of Allegence, I wanna put this on if it's ok. Love you!

Mandy said...

I feel the same about the God thing in schools. I have read that poem before. Someone sent it to me a few years ago and it really stood out to me.

I love that your kids are all matching. I hope that we can have more kids so I can dress them in matching things too! It's like playing dress up...kind of...lol
