New Poem

Night turns into day
And yet the disease sleeps
Waiting to strike at a moments notice
I remember the great times,
I remember the times that I saw you suffer,
I prayed to God to let me suffer for you in your place.
I never wanted to see you suffer or for you to have a bad day,
While you are still here,
For everyday you are here laughing having a good time with us
Is a true blessing in my life.
My heart aches knowing that one day
You will not walk upon this earth
And be able to be there when I want to talk to you
When I need to anymore.

This poem goes out to my mom who is battling Breast Cancer.   Mom I love you

15 year old girl hangs herself

15 year-old Phoebe Prince committed suicide January 14th two days before a school dance in Northwestern Masschusetts, due to fellow classmates bullying her.  Now police have indicted 9  teenagers where they bullied her into committing suicide at her parent's home.  Prince and her family were immigrants from Ireland, she was the focus of her fellow students bullying her and even times within view of school staff and yet they did nothing to prevent the bullying from going any further than it did.  From January 14th until now there has been no action taken until they indicted nine of her fellow class mates.  The parents and some of the other parents of the community were in outraged that they asked for the Superintendent Gus Sayer to reassign from office.

*The students named in the indictments are Sean Mulveyhill, 17; Kayla Narey, 17; Austin Renaud, 18; Ashley Longe; 16, Flannery Mullins, 16; and Sharon Chanon Velazquez, 16. Mulveyhill and Renaud were the only students charged with statutory rape.*

The thing that gets me is that she was being bullied due to the fact that she was in a brief relationship with a guy.  When did that become a source for bullying? But I guess times have changed for the worse.
My thoughts and prayers go to the Prince family and may God Bless them and help them through this dark and difficult time.

Sunday's Unforgettable Weather

Sunday's weather is one for the record books here in the Peidmont of North Carolina.  I can't remember the last time we had really severe weather, I guess it was back in 1998 when Stoneville had there Tornado...I have to say that there was a lot of local heavy flooding as of today Troublsome Creek near where I live was barely below the bridge which is a good 8 ft. above the creek and today is the creek was like maybe a couple of feet below the bridge.

Finally Back On

After a few months I have been able to finally payed off my computer for the work that I had to have done on it.  So be expecting some great things coming to this Blog here in the future...

Well it looks like the Democrats Won?

Even though you see the majority of Democrats happy right now and they should be because the Health Care Reform is law now, but wait isn't it election year for us to vote for members of Congress and Senate?  Well I hate to say so, but it is, and guess you bet all of the money in the world that the Deomcrats will lose the biggest part of their numbers come this November.  And I pray that this nation will get back on track after this big mess that is going on Capitol Hill right now.

God Help Us All

I have to say that I am finally back on here blogging like I should...People can say that I have no common sense but I do...I have a right to express my views from my point of view...For the first time in my life I have to say that we are so screwed by our own government.  Did you know that this Health Care Reform will get rid of Insurance Departments in medical facilities? It will. May we Christians come and unite as one and pray for this nation for the time of Jesus' Second Coming is at hand now

Yay!!! Health Care Reform Passed....NOT

I am sorry to say that the government has passed the Very expensive Health Care Reform Bill tonight...What does this mean? This mean that our government one more step near of its socialism empire...the Vote passed by a 219-212 vote...So good luck people who don't have insurance, you better get it before 2014 or you will have to pay a fine just because you can't afford health care, isn't that a shame.

The Crazies

Okay this movie gets a 10 from me..
  Its about this small town out in Iowa, where the people for some odd start to go crazy, they start to go blank and then do murderous things to townsfolk.  Come to find out there was a military plane crash containing a pretty nasty virus that would turn people crazy and then they would died.  Well the military ended up coming in and destroyed just about the whole population, there were only two survivors.  I won't tell the rest you must go to see this movie if you are a fan of George Romero's works
