Respect for God's Creation

     I'm surrounded by all types of people; Indian, Black, Mexican and then theirs me!  We are sitting in a coffee shop and just finished having a light breakfast.  The smells are incredible!  The coffee is great and extremely hot, just like I like it.  The cranberry muffin was perfect!  My Love has gone to get the car while I sit admiring my beautiful roses and drinking my coffee!  What a wonderful morning!
     Let's get back to the people.  Hardly any person makes eye contact with one another anymore.  Only one person who actually looked me in the eye is a boy from India who recognized me from last night.  He almost turned my roses over!  I did give him the Evil Eye only because his family was allowing him to run around right where the drop off and pick up lane happened to be!  It was only l08 degrees at the time and lots of cars were coming and going.  I decided to be the smart one in the bunch so I gave him a glance of fear so he wouldn't get hit by a car!  Some people are so lack in their guidance of their children!  I noticed he was given a lot of leeway of behavior when it came to his sister.  Who, by the way was dying for attention.  I felt this was more like a cultural thing going on and it made me so sad.  In the eyes of God, females are held to the highest regard.  Only man on earth tends to downgrade her status.  Therefore it seems the treatment of women in cultures all over the world want to hold us down emotionally, spiritually and economically just to name a few!  It was so evident in the behavior of this family!   One child got all the attention and no discipline while the other was completely ignored!
     Could this treatment of girls and women be just because we can nurture and give life?  Yes, I know not by ourselves but the whole growth and development stage for 9 months is Our deal!  Bless God for giving us this wonderful gift.  Being a mother is one of the highest positions a woman could ever hold.  You're in charge of a little mind who is so eager to be loved and to learn.  Each child is a gift as well as each mother.  Grant you, the scale is very broad from the top of the list as Mother Teresa to the bottom of the list being the devil's wife!  I pray that I'm secure somewhere in the top of the middle of the scale!  Children are God's gifts to be cherished, although not all are.  Some of God's creations seen to suffer from the onset of life, when their life is filled with nothing but trouble and heartache.  Others seem to have their troubles much later on in life.  Problems and troubles are conditions all of us must face sometime but it shouldn't come so soon for our little ones to deal with.  It's our job to keep them safe from all harm, especially if it comes from us.  It's our growing and testing moments to develop character that shapes and changes us and them forever.
    I just wonder if I made an impression on that little boy.  I was the only one who seemed concerned about his safety and about the safety of my Roses!  I'm pretty sure I did, just by the fact he noticed me in the coffee shop and kind of sat down on a chair real fast.  I wanted to say to those parents, hey notice your sweet little girl who keeps asking you questions and you're just ignoring her!  But I know it wouldn't make any difference if I did.
     Women, think about your fate and your responsibility as a woman and as a mother.  Unfortunately the job goes with a tremendous amount of pleasure and heartache.  I guess having children ourselves allows us to understand how God must feel about us.  Think about how you want to be seen in your children's eyes?  Be that special someone who they can look up to for anything and everything no matter how small!  Like Dr. Phill says:  as a parent you need to be their soft place to fall!  Your job is important and shouldn't be rushed or ignored because every detail matters!
     Don't be like that family, show respect from the littlest and youngest female to the oldest female!  Just remember God is Watching and Taking Notes!

Freedom, Freedom

     Freedom is being free and independent.  Freedom is an exemption from an obligation or discomfort!  Freedom is being able to act freely.  Freedom is having the ease of movement.  This definition is right from the Webster's Dictionary!
     Reading these words makes a person decipher or conclude that Obama Care is Unconstitutional because it infringes on our Freedom from obligation!  We don't have the obligation to carry such a program or practice, to have it forced on us by our government or by anyone else for that matter!  We can walk, talk and make decisions on our own without the control or help of our government, state or federal.
     People in power and behind the scenes are making changes to our Freedoms every single day that nobody talks about in public.  It's all about control of the people.  It makes no difference what the reason for good or for bad, they have no right to force us to purchase or sign up!
     Freedom comes in so many different ways! It could mean as little as a 15min. break at work to a full-fledged Freedom from a Dictator!  That certainly is a big gap between those two situations!  But, let's think about it, what does Freedom mean to you?
     1.  It could be 1hr. by yourself away from the kids
     2.  Maybe lay in the sun on a beach away from the stress of work
     3.  Just a blooming day off
     4.  Freedom to say an opinion about your government
     5.  Ease of travel all over the country, from South to North, East to West without being
          stopped to have your papers checked     
     6.  Freedom to Worship what, when, where and how of your choice
     7.  To be able to stand on a street and carry a sign to voice your views
     8.  Freedom to do what you want basically anytime, any day depending if you have a
          job or not
     Doesn't it all come down to responsibility on how one treats the Gift of Freedom?  Do you cherish it or do you throw it away or do you just abuse it?  The big question:  Do you let others steal your Freedom away from you?!  We definitely take our Freedom for granted!  It was here when we were born so we expect it to remain and never seem to worry that one day in the near future it could possibly be gone!  The generation of people who never had to fight for Freedom don't seem to even grasp the concept at all!  Sometimes when I speak about this great nation I receive the deer in the headlight look, not a clue at all!  What's so scary is that those people won't even try to protect our Freedom at all!  They won't even see it coming before it's too late. 
     The people who volunteered after 9-11 to service our country to protect her and her people from harm completely understand what Freedom means!  The generation that went through the Great Depression also gets it!  All of the baby boomers understand hard work and the cost of Freedom and the big secret is they will fight to keep it!  Amen, how about giving me two Amens on that one!!!
     I'll close in saying don't ever think the men and women who wear a uniform be it police, fire or military will ever sit still while our beautiful Country goes down the tubes is in denial!!

West Coast Trip

     This is a diary of the life and times of the West Coast people viewed by a Southern Girl.  So far the landscape is full of vast, endless huge ant hills or maybe dinosaur dung?  It could have been left by Dino!  Maybe not, but we had fun with it.  All of a sudden, a big pile of rocks would appear out of nowhere!  How in the world did they get here?  It looks like a huge tractor pushed them into the piles.  Can you say, Alien?  I can see now, this trip is going to be a Hoot!
     We haven't had any contact with people yet, but I'm also getting hungry!  I eat like a baby, every three hours or so whether I need it or not.  Yes, I'm looking for something to eat besides Mexican!  Come on, this is still America!  I think!  Maybe not!  Oh look, it's a McDonald's!  At least I can get chicken, my stomach thanks you!  It's only 108 outside, so I'm sitting in the car while my love gets the food so my beautiful roses stay cool.  I know I forgot to tell you about the roses.  They were sent to me by my daughter for my birthday and they are beautiful.  My honey didn't want to leave them at home, so they came on the trip with me.
     Wow, a lady is sitting at a table on her computer in McDonald's.  Is life that serious or stressful that it requires a laptop and a phone while eating lunch?  Pray for the satellite to work or her life is toast!  Would she be able to live without the flat box to communicate?  Let's hope so.  I'm wondering if my love has encountered any English while ordering my food?  His patience is not very long neither is his tolerance for businesses not to have someone who could communicate in understandable English.  If his eyebrows are up, I'll know the answer!  His eyebrows weren't up but he was not disappointed in the language barrier.  He had to say the order three times and it still came out wrong.  Maybe, she couldn't understand Southern!  However, not all was lost.  He found a little humor in replying, clean up on aisle one, when he knocked over his large drink.  This was by accident, I might add!  I'm glad I was in the car!
     Now that lunch is over, can you say potty break and change drivers!  My turn!  I'm so comfortable behind the wheel that I've actually considered a career that included driving somehow.  A constant vacation, that's it.  I could travel the country and rate hotels and the services provided!  I would be willing to sacrifice my job to be on a vacation all the time!  No problem!  Nice thought, but my dream is over now.
     Our TomTom, which we call Shirley, talks to me like my God is talking to me.  I couldn't live without  either!  Stay In The Left Lane!  Go Straight On!  Turn Around When Possible and Right Turn in one Mile!  She talks all the time and gets ticked whenever we stop for something.  We just say, hang on Shirley we'll get on the right track in a minute.  Shirley will be a blessing in more ways than one on this trip!
     After finding tons of sightseeing tours and locations we had our first choice, The USS Midway Museum!  We walked all over that aircraft carrier while listening to an audio tour through head phones.  You just type in the number of your location and the story begins.  I thought about all the young men and women who served their time aboard her, doing hard jobs and making hard choices for us to be free.  God Bless each and every one of them!  It was just awesome!  Afterwards, we found a restaurant called, The Boat House.  Our meals were fabulous!  What a way to end the day!
     I was told by people, you have to visit the Hotel Del Coronado and the Coronado Beach.  It's old  and has character and has a very interesting story.  I like old and I really enjoyed walking all over the hotel, very pretty, very busy and very expensive!  Two days later we came back to the Island and rode our bikes all around the water, the sailboats and the Navy Base.  The sights were wonderful and the weather was perfect!  My love had his own idea the day before, The Del Mar Race Track!  That was OK with me because we love going to the horse races.  We've been to a few on the East Coast and you can't ever tell what might happen, like the jockey falling off the horse during the race!  Our horse Won but had no Rider!  Which means, we Lost!
     We are not early risers anymore, done that, over that.  We like to stay up late and sleep late, that way you miss all the rush hour traffic!  At least, that's what we tell people.  So, for us to leave the room to have breakfast before noon is a miracle!  Mornings consisted of coffee and a muffin at the local gas station!
     I had fun with a few signs out there.  One sign read, A Recovery and Reinvestment Act, which was located on a highway under construction.  I wanted a flag from the flag lady but nobody was working on a Friday!  I figured we paid for that since I'm a tax payer so I wanted a flag for my collection.  Next came the Easy Life Furniture Store sign!  I had two thoughts on this one, was it maybe outdoor furniture or was it for the illegals coming into Ca.?  Hey, I can wonder, can't I?  Plus, I'm almost positive that a car full of illegals was beside me going on a bypass!  They looked suspicious!  We followed each other for quite awhile and then he turned off.  Oh, then we saw a big sign, Tattoo Expo!  You have got to be kidding me, a whole Expo just for Tattoos!  I think I'll have to miss that one, maybe next time.
     Besides the flowers, my family went together to buy me a Kindle!  I had great fun playing my games on it every single night and I'll be downloading books real soon.  On the drive out, I kept asking my love, have we been here before?  He always replied, No.  My memories are a little confused or I'm confused.  I've had so many memories that I think they are just blending together!  I told him, it will take both of us to get through the rest of our lives!  We'll probably need a check list every morning just to get started, but we aren't there yet, so no worries!  I begged Shirley to please find me a Red Lobster!  She came through again, only 10 minutes away!  Thanks, Shirley!
     We visited The Old Town Historic District and we even made it to the last house in the USA, which was 4 sale.  We stood on the beach and to the left Navy Helicopters were doing maneuvers and to the right we could see Mexico!  We love anything that deals with our military and watching any aircraft in flight is a bonus!
     The service and the people at our hotel could not have been nicer. The rooms were very pretty and the bed was very comfortable and the food wasn't bad either!  We would stay there again in a New York Minute!  And it didn't hurt that I had decorated the room with my flowers!
     So, I conclude that Southern Hospitality also exist and was equalled by our Western Friends!  It was sad but we had to leave.  I'm still looking for the bag of $20's on the side of the road!  I guess I'll have to start saying the bag of $100's since things cost so much more now.  We plugged Shirley in and she was so happy to tell us Where to Go!  Just like so many other people in the world, but all we have to do is unplug her!  Travel this beautiful country of ours, go East to West or North To South, just Go and stay safe. We'll see you on the flip side and always say your prayers!

Role of the Female

     What is a woman's role in our society?  Joel Osteen says, to Honor your wife will make God smile upon you with His blessings!  To Honor your mother and father is a good thing.  But, mother wasn't just added in to go along with the father part!  Mother Mary was sacred because she was the mother of Jesus.
     As we have our babies, we don't plan to have a Genghis Khan!  Most of us hope and pray our children will be more like the baby Jesus instead.  I feel about 3/4ths of the time the amount of love, understanding and guidance we give our children is the deciding factor that shapes and molds them to be the future adult, one which is either productive or one who is a slacker in life!
     Now back to the cultures, look at the actual religions of the world that downgrade females and treat them as property where they have no rights, no say and no life!  That's not what God intended for his creation as a woman.  Muslin women are treated on the same level as dogs, covered as they are unsightly and never equal to a man!  They are just used as a vessel to have a male heir and degraded for every female baby born, even though the sex of a child is determined by the male in this equation!
     When the religions of the world condone and encourage this absurd behavior, the female situation will never improve!  If you consider all religions are run by the male species, it happens to be their rules and beliefs on paper, doesn't it?
     The customs, family traditions, respect, love and the dynamics of the family dictates the treatment of the women or wife, husband and the children.  Society as a whole has gone down the tubes because of the acts of violence displayed between the members of the family and the use of obscene language in the household!  Personal control is out the window! Rules and respect are also out the window!
     I feel as a child growing up in the 50's life was like the Beaver Family!  A healthy fear of our parents creates respect and a fear of God is the balancing second control of life!  People don't go to church like in the past so they don't have that fear of God.  Children don't have enough rules and control to create respect of parents and the healthy fear that's needed.  So many people I'm in contact with have no fear or morals.  They just fear the government check will be late.
     Societies all over the world want to live in the U.S.A.  But, once here some want to continue the same obscure beliefs and control they had in their own countries.  The same bad habits and behaviors just continue on!  So, why come to America?  It is to dominate our big, bold land of ours, to deny us our freedoms and to deny the freedoms to women which they despise!  Freedom of religion is just that, you worship your way and I worship my way!  But, you can't leave my Sacred Freedoms Alone!  You know, that's what separates man from the animals!  What's mine is mine and what's yours is yours!  Animals can't tell the difference but humans can, we have a mind that tells us the difference between right and wrong.  As people, we leave the other person's things alone because its called stealing!  Stealing of property or stealing of rights or stealing of dignity, it's all stealing and robbing us of our soul.  I know we haven't ventured too far since man was a barbarian!  The man would just drag his woman home to the cave but, man's job is to continue to grow and grow and shape humanity toward the good scale and not go backwards!
     I'm the youngest, a special place to be, of three children and the only girl.  I was so blessed because my parents were hard workers and wonderful people.  The time and place in life was perfect to be growing up.  No violence was ever witnessed by me or my brothers and no cussing to speak of, was said.  How many families can say that today?  Hardy any I'm sure!  We have come to accept bad behavior and to condone it, sometimes to even welcome it's display!  People, we have to get a grip!  We need to get a grip on our life and on our emotions!  Yes, I know I blow a blood vessel after hearing a liberal talk for only two seconds!  I didn't say I was perfect!  But, my views are important and righteous and as a woman I have the right to voice them!  I'm not going to be that muslin woman having no opinion, no rights and no will of survival!  It won't happen in our life time because there are too many baby boomers to resist such an Ungodly take over!  I believe that's our role in the present and future is to maintain and return all our Freedoms to the 50's Era!
     I am the lucky one, my life has been filled with respect, rules and love living that simple life.  I gave my children the same values and I expect them to pass this same value system to their children.  Memories of my childhood are drive-in movies in a pickup truck, parked backwards so we could sit in chairs eating Mama's homemade donuts, life was good!  Saturday night's we watched the Grand Ole Opry snapping green beans or peeling butter beans at the kitchen table for Sunday lunch.  The big Sunday lunch consisted of either Southern Fried Chicken or a Roast in the oven after Church.  A little religion and a lot of good food makes for a happy family and it made Sunday's so special!
     We didn't have a lot of money but I didn't notice.  Love doesn't require money.  My Mom use to say, Soap is cheap.  We had a bath every single night and lots of food, a big yard and a big garden to provide.  Life was good!  I have had the privilege of being a Daughter, a Woman, a Wife, a Mother and An American!  Nowhere else on this green planet would I want to be born to live a fulfilled life but Here!
     The power of Thought, the power of Reason and The Consequence of Choice makes life Worth living!  Power to the Female!  May She never be held down, but held up to be the Mother of Nations!

My Day

     At my job, it's usually Blood, Sweat and some days even Tears!  But, today it was only Sweat!  The summer has arrived full force but it's same old song, different day, No Air Conditioning!  The story is it's always broken.  Convenient Story I suspect!  Every Summer I cook 20 degrees more!  One of these days I'll just say, I'm Well Done now!  I can't be cooked anymore.  Stick a fork in me, it's Over!
     In this stage of my life, my feelings and opinions on just about everything or subject just pour out of me-Freely!  And I do mean-Freely!  I just can't hold it inside anymore.  I've known people like that my whole life and I would make a comment as to their behavior.  But, now I find, I'm Them!  Holy Moly!  What happened to me?  Wake up little Suzy, Life happened!  Where did that sweet, little girl go who never caused anyone any trouble?  She's still here but after a Husband, Kids, Parents and of course In-Laws well, they just about sent her over the edge!  I tell people all the time, I'm over the cliff, I just haven't hit bottom yet!  Oh, I still have good days but, they don't group up together like I would like!  Don't get me wrong, I still mind my manners but, I will give you a piece of my mind now and again.
     I really believe I could be a Hermit!  You know a person who just lives in the wilderness and lives off the land.  I actually knew a fella who lived in a hut in the woods.  He raised chickens to eat and I guess he also ate the eggs.  He had a fire pit inside the hut to keep warm and lived there for many years.  Nobody ever bothered him as far as I know.
     You know, the more I think about it I really love my baths and soap and I love big hamburgers and TV. Now I love to blog and tweet.  But, most of all I Love My Air Conditioner!  Oh Crap, I guess that means I have to go back to work tomorrow but not before I have a nice hot soaking bath!  I think I'll give it another week or so, maybe even pray for Snow!  Gotta go, my water's getting cold.  Goodnight!

The Verdict

     The other news media is declaring Justice is served!  Lady Justice is working today!  Oh Yeah, what a load of crap!  Lady Justice is outside throwing up her lunch right now! How in the hell did 12 people come to this conclusion is ludicrous!
     All the jurors had to have was Reasonable Doubt, not no doubt, not a single spit of doubt but Reasonable Doubt!  They didn't need to be Completely Confident of guilt!  What happened to Caylee?  Casey admitted the child died on June 16th while with her!  Nobody else heard those words but Me!?  Her father, George, was at work people!  Casey lied to everybody all day long and people believed her about not killing her daughter!  She lied about being out of town, lied about a nanny, lied about a job, lied about different boyfriends and lied about a car accident with a ghost nanny!  All these lies one right after another, on and on, buying time, wonderful time before anyone notices Caylee is missing.  Thirty one days later, when the grandparents just couldn't wait anymore, and between you and me, must have gotten that sick feeling in the pit of their stomachs, they knew something bad had happened!  You know that feeling, especially mothers when you just know your child has done something, you can't deny it. We are talking about thirty one days wrapped in a laundry bag inside of two trash bags with not one piece but three pieces of duck tape on your little mouth and nose.  Do you know what that says to me, that it was personal, very personal!  I know a detective very well and he has shared stories about criminals and types of death and the reasons why to me and this is one that is very personal to the killer!  So, now the forensic evidence is mainly destroyed, that doesn't mean we can't figure out who, what  and why it happened!  For God Sakes use your brains!  How did people and cops solve crimes before all the fancy stuff was invented?  They solved it by hard work and circumstantial evidence!!!  Put the puzzle pieces together to form the whole picture!
     Casey's story is the child downed in the pool on June 16th due to the fact that her mother left the ladder on the pool!  Even then, when not a soul was home but Casey and Caylee, when Casey was in full control of the child, she still blamed the lack of sense and guidance and the death of the child on her Mother!!!!  Anybody with any common sense can figure this out, pure common sense!  So, now the jury wants all of us to think that any body with duck tape over their nose and mouth and covered with trash bags is not Murder! I guess the victim planned the whole thing.  I guess the person they were last with which continued to lie each and everyday to the Police and the world is Not Guilty! She lies about every single aspect of her life but she is telling the truth about the drowning and her fathers involvement and the child abuse!  Why in the Hell should you believe anything she says?  I don't.  Why would she lie about most things and then tell the truth about some things?  She wouldn't.
     Casey lied about her family to the extent that it is they who received the death sentence!  She told lies about her family to save her own worthless neck!  People will believe any falsehood just by hearing it spoken!  You know this is true, you have heard something and said to yourself, my gosh, I wouldn't have believed that but!  There is always a but, but it sits on your mind thinking maybe that could be true!  That's exactly what happened here!  The defense voiced all kinds of accusations out there in the thin air about child abuse, affairs and anything they could think of, even saying the police and the prosecution tampered with the evidence and the crime scene!  How dare he!  He is responsible for this murderer being let free to live in society!
     Where is the Justice for Caylee?  I wrote before that I wanted the truth to come out and we would all need the strength to hear the truth.  There is no truth in this case, No Honor, No Facts!  Were there only Liberals on the Jury?  I can't imagine anybody with any common sense could come out with this verdict.  My head is going to explode right now on this computer!  Shocked is not the word I am to describe my feelings.  I'm litterly disgusted!  Just remember, a dog sniffed a dead body in the yard of the Anthony's and in Casey's car and in the playhouse of Caylee!  Do you suppose Casey let her play one more time while she was in the bags?  Do you trust the sent of a dog's nose?  Dogs don't lie, people lie!  The evidence was there, collectively there in front of your eyes to see but, nobody wanted to see!  The jury just wanted to blame a father for something he didn't do!  That's our society now to blame somebody for our actions besides ourself!
     What's in Casey's future?  Does she expect a family greeting with a big cookout or rushing to her with big open arms?  Maybe, she does!  She might be stupid enough.  She might be thinking, they can forgive me for; destroying the reputation of my father and my brother! Or even after they were belittled and disgraced on the witness stand! How about after all of America knows their faces and now their weaknesses!  It doesn't end here just because Casey has been found not guilty!  It's just starting for the family!  Her family is hurting beyond belief at this moment.  They will still be hounded by the press for comments and on accusations of George being involved somehow.  Their life is Hell and she could give a crap!
     I'm disgusted, angry and filled with sadness beyond belief!  Justice was not served today, a verdict was given just like any other case but Lady Justice is crying because one slipped through the cracks!  The ending for this family has not been written but I fear more tragedy is about to happen!  My prayers go out to the family members because they will need all the help they can muster!   God Bless You!

Beck Family Night Out

     Glenn, you are a Patriot and a leader of the free people.  You have shown us the truth and the way and you have taught us to question everything we see or hear, even when it comes from your own show.  Our country is in a terrible fix at this moment in time and it is very frightening for the average person to conceive.  We have been busy running our lives and frankly too busy to second guess Washington.  We really thought they could handle the job since they ran for that particular office.  So we left them alone and we went on living but now we realize of men there is evil.  So many decent people just don't know what to do or where to turn.  You have taught them to think and to reason  and to voice the truth so it's not forgotten!  The respect my husband and I have for you is strong.  We watch your show every single night at midnight to 1:00 a.m.  Only a couple more shows left but we have already signed up for your new adventure, wouldn't miss it for the world!  We need your information and guidance.  You have the resources and the people to bring the knowledge to us and to make sense of it all.
     It hurts us that you and your family couldn't have a relaxing night out under the stars.  What a learning experience for your daughter.  She knows what Honor and Integrity you hold as a person and as a father and she knows the good you are working hard to accomplish.  She also sees how others in society react to that same stimuli to try to destroy it.  She is going to be such a strong person because of this situation.  I guess everything worthwhile is not without pain and suffering.  I would like to apologize for these inconsiderate bullies who were throwing their stupidity around and their power.  But, they have no power because God is not on their side.
     Our Society is stooping to a new record low for Mankind.  It may still be Man but it certainly isn't Kind some of the time.  At every turn we are called names to harm and to hurt but I think to mainly quiet us.  If we are licking our wounds then they are busy taking away our Freedoms!  We can never close even one eye for a second!
     Thank you for being our sounding board for the Average American!  We have been working hard raising our families, going to Church, traveling around the world serving our US Military only to find out our backs weren't even being Watched!  We are banning together now for the same cause to protect our America and our way of life. We can thank you for this privilege because it was only you watching our backs.
      May God hold you in the palm of his hand while you are in Israel and abroad.
