Ireland, Europe...the Midwest?

Hell is breaking loose in the Midwest while the President finds his “heritage” in Ireland...really? So what’s the point of this four-country, six-day tour of Europe anyway? According to Voice of America News (voanews.com): “White House officials say that overall, the president's Europe trip is intended to reaffirm America's ‘core alliances’ with European nations.” Really? Core alliances? If you treat our other allies the way you did Israel...well, I’d say “STAY AWAY!” if I were a European. But then again...isn’t Europe mostly Socialist anyway? Maybe they welcome that kind of “take and spread it out” policy.

Obviously, going to Ireland is just a side trip for him to “find his roots”. Wow...on our dime, no doubt - AND while hundreds of Americans’ lives are in shambles. Okay...I’m going to be completely honest here. I’m not a fan of Pres Obama...not in the slightest. One could say that I may be “picking” on him. Yes...well, maybe I am and making a good point while I’m at it. I’ll tell you right now...if a Republican/Conservative were doing the same, I’d like to think I’d be just as critical of his/her actions. In fact, I’m sure I would be. I’m tried of double minded politics. Say one thing, but do another. Words mean nothing without the action behind them.

But at this point, as long as it doesn’t put America or Americans in harms way, I say “Keep screwing up Mr. President. The more you do, the less likely it is you’ll be reelected.”

It’s time to close this Chapter of American Destruction and start fresh with Prosperity again.

Small Intro...

Who am I and why start a blog? I’ve been asking myself these same questions over the last few days. “Who am I?” is honestly the most difficult to answer. “What” is much easier, so I’ll start there. I’m a veteran: I spent over 15 years on active duty in the Air Force having served stateside, in England and Iraq. I’m a wife: Married to the perfect husband for over 10 years, who is an exceptional father to our children. I’m a mother: Who would have thought that I’d be the mother of three beautiful children and a mentor and step-mom to a lovely and intelligent young woman. More importantly than all of these, I am a Christian: God is my true Father, Jesus is my Light and Rock and the Spirit leads and convicts me daily. One of my favorite Scriptures is 2Kings 6:16-17, “Don’t be afraid,” the prophet answered. “Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” And Elisha prayed, “Open his eyes, LORD, so that he may see.” Then the LORD opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. This Scripture reminds me that, although we may feel alone and the situation looks bleak, God is with us in all battles - be it in the physical or spiritual realm. Now, as to the “Who,” I still don’t know if I can answer that question. My friends have told me that I am dedicated, busy, loyal and loving. Oh, I missed one - opinionated. That leads me to the why...

A friend of mine, Rich, approached me recently and told me I should start a blog. At first I thought he meant a blog like I’ve seen many stay/work at home moms start. (That is NOT me...I’m not that kind of SAHM as I am finding out.) But then he elaborated. A political blog. “Me?” I thought. He shared with me that my FB posts have been thought provoking. (A little background: Rich is a democrat. I, on the other hand, am a proud Conservative.) He said (my posts/opinions) made him think he may be voting Republican next go around. HA! Wow, was I surprised. But, sheesh, there are SOOO many politico blogs out there. Why me? I’m mean really, why me? I have a unique perspective, according to Rich. (Vet, SAHM, OIF vet, wife, etc...)

So, here we are and I’m typing out my first post. I’ll leave you with this thought: As we go forward these coming days remember what Elisha and the servant witnessed. God IS with us. I believe that He has anointed America with a great role. America has turned her back on God. It’s our job to get her back on track. God is with us in this fight, I’m sure of it!
