You want cheaper gasoline?

Give Leviticus 26 a read. When Aunt Chrissy was visiting with Richard and Camille J, we got to talking about it. When the judges in California over-rule the will of the people and institute marriage for everyone, strictly against the Bible, can we really expect God to bless this country? We refuse to keep the Sabbath Day holy, and ignore many other commandments. I don't think that God punishes us, it is just that His spirit cannot dwell in evil places. When His Spirit withdraws, then His protection gone. Unless we really get with it and start keeping His commandments, we are in serious trouble. Read Lev 26 - it is a real eye-opener.

If the oil supply is the problem, wouldn't drilling help?

If you don't think the United States needs to drill for oil, you won't be interested in this. If you do think that if the gas problem is directly related to not enough gas, this would be something you might want to read.
Source Glenn Beck Show June 12th 2008:
So why IS gas so darn expensive? There are a lot of reasons, but somehow the biggest problem (as usual) points directly to Washington DC. Democrats yesterday in a subcommittee voted basically to kill going to the outer continental shelf to drill for oil because there are 'other things we can do'. Glenn would like to introduce you to the people who are preventing us from drilling here at home, because, as Glenn says, these people should be famous. When the pitchforks and torches start coming out---we'd like to help clarify who was for or against us.

This was on the glenn beck letter today. The above link covers it more fully. The question is, what are we going to do about this? If you know anyone from these states, send it on and ask them to get on line and write their Congress person and give them heck!
Here is a link to find your Congress person's address. We didn't have to add the second part of the zip, but we live in a tiny town and you might need to. Don't just sit and stew, go forth and do!

You will have to copy these and put them in your address, cause they are not live links

If we don't do something, we are just as responsible as the politicians who have caused this problem in the first place. I have heard that the environmentalists are afraid that if we drill off the coasts that oil spills will happen. No oil spills happened during Katrina although the sites were seriously damaged. I have heard that China is planning on drilling 50 miles off our coast, who is more environmentally careful, the US or China? Please, write and send this to anyone you know that will help. If we flood these legislators offices with letters protesting their decision, maybe a change can happen.

He graduated


Thomas has graduated from basic training. He is now at a new base. We had a great time visiting with him, his fiance' and her family. We had time to go sight seeing, the Alamo and lots of other places. Then we went to the graveyard where my great-great grandma, Fannie Anne Slater Williamson died in childbirth long ago. It was very moving. Our son has gone to a new base and is studying for his new field. So much to do, he will be gone for 6 months. But he and his fiance' have set a date, January 24th, hopefully all will go well. As you can tell from the picture of Cyndi and Thomas, there are some really strict military rules about PDA!
