Some folks gripe about Valentine’s Day as “not fair to people who don’t have a lover.” Huh. Should we cancel Mother’s and Father’s Days for people who don’t have loving parents? Besides … EVERYONE has a lover in Jesus! The Bible is the biggest VALENTINE in the world, telling the greatest Love Story ever told!

At age eight, Ramona Trevino climbed to the top of a roof and begged God to let her know he was real. After receiving a sign, she made a pact with herself to follow him always. But family difficulties and growing pains made it hard for her to continue on that path.
Pregnant at 16, she dropped out of high school and entered an abusive marriage, which ended in divorce. Wanting to make a difference and to help girls in similar tough situations, she accepted a job as the manager of a Planned Parenthood facility in Sherman, Texas. Over time, however, Trevino began to grapple with whether she was doing women more harm than good, setting her on a path to seek the truth, no matter where it might lead.
Realizing she could no longer refer women for abortions or provide them with false assurances of risk-free sex, Trevino took a leap of faith and left the financial security of her job. Her ultimate conversion involved a full return to the Catholic faith of her childhood and a new role as a pro-life advocate and speaker.
Trevino is one of hundreds of former abortion practitioners and abortion center staffers who are now pro-life and she will stare her story in a webcast on Monday, February 16 at 9 p.m. ET @ http://redeemedbygracewebcast.com/

This news report was depressing!
http://abc7news.com/health/lead-cadmium-found-in-chocolate/513884/
Dearest and I have been sticking to dark chocolate for our treats, because it’s supposed to be good for you. On the plus side, we’re not eating cookies, pie and ice cream hardly ever any more, so that’s good. On the minus side, it seems we have been buying brands contaminated with lead and cadmium. ARGH!
This is not an academic issue for me. I spent weeks going through lead detoxification treatment once years ago; it was non-stop horrible until it was over, then it was amazing how much better I felt than before I’d started. So, no, thank you to lead in my food.
But there are a huge number of chocolate brands and only a small number that have been tested for metals. Plus, some of the companies had bars on the bad lists and some on the good lists, so how could I ever trust ANY of their bars? It’s all kinda scary and frustrating.

I went through the chocolate we had on hand and threw out the Ghiardelli. Then I noticed the one we recently tried for the first time and LOVED – Divine 70% Dark Chocolate – was not on any tested list (good or bad). But the label said it was FAIR TRADE, so I did some digging on that score and found a web page about fair trade chocolate.
Funny thing … it looks to me like the companies with metal contaminants are the same companies on the “not recommended” lists because of little things like buying chocolate where slavery and child labor are practiced.
I noticed one interesting caveat to this site’s list. A company named Edensoy was on their recommended list, then had a slash put through their name with a link added that went to an article about how the company is trying to opt out of the Obamacare birth control mandate.
Sometimes the Left is so hypocritical about their issues. I’d bet anything these people are mostly on-board with micro-managing carbon levels in the air that probably are not harming the planet in any way, but apparently have no problem turning a blind eye to the environmental damage that birth control pills are actually causing.

JUST KIDDING;I don’t know who this Gary character is or why progs are dampening their underwear in anticipation of throwing down fifty bucks for tickets and popcorn to see whatever it is this Gary does. My beloved child bride and I went to a movie last year and may not go to another for years. We have all the premium channels and anything we want to see will be there eventually. I just have a problem paying money to see a bunch of high school dropouts making millions of dollars saying lines somebody else wrote and thinking that makes their political opinion superior to everybody else’s.
We’re having a movie night tomorrow night all right,with our favorite overnight guests,Miss Isabel and Miss Olivia. We’ll either watch Frozen, Planes ,or my favorite, Over The Hedge. Their favorite tape,actually,is a VHS I have of Christmas cartoons from the 30’s and 40’s. They watch it almost every time they’re here. We’ll enjoy their favorite supper,hot dogs and mac and cheese,then they’ll cuddle with grandma (I’m not as upholstered as she is) and have the kind of good time money can’t buy.I can’t ask for any more.
Here is a review of ‘Fifty Shades’…apparently they spelled the name wrong. There are pictures in the article,but I won’t post any. They’re not worth the bandwidth.
‘Nobody sweats, nobody strains… nobody orgasms’: Frustrated movie critics want MORE sex in Fifty Shades of Grey as flaccid flick fails to get them hot under the collar
Critics said tame feature film, out on February 13, was ‘run of the mill’
One pointed out that lead Jamie Dornan mostly keeps his pants on
BDSM props deployed on Dakota Johnson were also termed ‘vanilla’
It was often remarked that EL James novels were far more explicit

BoB has too much class to brag on her grandson,Kiran. I however,do not suffer such an affliction. Her precious is already a month old. And,I trust,spoiled rotten. This is what life is all about.
That’s better
I did this when I was unhitching my fishing partner’s boat once. The pain was exquisite.

No, I’m not obsessed.
I’m outraged that an uneducated, narcissistic liar ever had the trust and power to choose what, when and how We the People were informed.
Freedom of the press is one of the great glories of our system; lying journalists put that, and all our other freedoms, in grave jeopardy, so no, I will NOT be silent about this.
That being said, I am sick to death of the smarmy jerk, so hopefully this is the LAST time I have to even think about him.
In a 2007 interview with Fairfield University Student Television, Williams recalled “Katyusha rockets passing just underneath the helicopter I was riding in” during a trip to Israel in 2006.
In fact he was nowhere near enemy fire. In a broadcast segment he filmed the day of the alleged incident, he described rocket fire as being “six miles away.”
Williams has told several stories about his experiences reporting about Hurricane Katrina from New Orleans in 2005.
Williams claimed to have seen a dead body float past the window of his hotel in the city’s French Quarter.
The French Quarter never got more than a few inches of flooding, certainly not enough for any dead bodies to “float past” his window.
Williams claimed his hotel has been ‘overrun’ with gangs.
The manager of the Ritz-Carlton where he stayed was honored by the company for her exemplary foresight and planning that had made the hotel one of the safest places to be in New Orleans.
Williams claimed he caught dysentery drinking the flood waters.
Former FEMA Director Michael Brown said, “in Hurricane Katrina, anywhere. Biloxi [Mississippi] all the way to the Texas border, I never heard of one case of dysentery.” Plus, “If you truly have dysentery, you’re not standing up in front of a camera, in front of national news people, giving a report. … If you truly have dysentery, you’re down and out.”
Williams claimed he got no medical treatment.
The Ritz-Carlton manager had set up an impromptu “MASH unit,” stocked with medicine from a nearby Walgreens and manned by more than a dozen doctors. She said there was more than enough medicine and doctors to see to him if he had truly ever been ill.

If only he’d stuck to writing fiction.
In 2011, Lyin’ Brian Williams wrote a piece for which USA Weekend used this headline:
Williams looks back on being a volunteer fireman and the wildfire of good he hopes to set now
You may find that making a difference for others makes the biggest difference in you.“On the day I became eligible, I signed up to be a volunteer firefighter in my hometown of Middletown, NJ. … My firehouse was a modest engine company — three engines, three garage doors and about 30 of the best men I’ve ever known. We fought all the usual fires that break out in the suburbs: brush fires, car fires, dumpsters, dryers, light fixtures — and worst of all, the occasional house, already in flames when we arrived. I remember one such house fire — the structure was fully involved with flames and smoke. I was wearing a breathing apparatus, conducting a search on my hands and knees, when I felt something warm, squishy and furry on the floor of a closet. I instinctively tucked it in my coat. When I got outside, I saw two small eyes staring up at me, and I returned the 3-week-old (and very scared) puppy to its grateful owners.”
According to Jordan Schachtel, a graduate of Monmouth County Fire Academy, there are more inconsistencies in Williams’s story than just how many puppies he allegedly rescued.
First and most compelling is that Williams’s own bio says, “While in high school, he was a volunteer firefighter for three years at the Middletown Township Fire Department.” According to Schachtel, volunteer fire departments do not let anyone go near a fire until they are at least eighteen years of age.
“A brush fire is one thing, but a house fire with flames and smoke blowing out of every window is an entirely different ballgame.”
Even if he’d ever been allowed inside a house on fire, his description of opening up his coat “violated basic protocol and common sense”, making it highly unlikely Williams was ever trained in search and rescue, much less allowed inside a burning house.
Also, Williams said he volunteered for an engine company. Searching for victims is the job of a truck or ladder company, not an engine company, though Schachtel admits that in a small fire department, such duties may not be so sharply defined.
Maybe what really happened is that Teen Brian was put on some safe duty, like keeping gawkers behind the line, and he saw a fire fighter save a dog and then fantasized about how it was he who had crawled into the hot smoke and had the grateful (and no doubt attractive) dog owner gush her thanks all over him.

There are SIX things the Lord hates,
yes, SEVEN are an abomination to him;
Haughty eyes, a LYING tongue,
hands that shed innocent blood,
A heart that plots wicked schemes,
feet that are quick to run to evil,
the FALSE WITNESS who utters LIES,
and the one who sows discord among kindred.
-Proverbs 6:16 (NABRE)
Jesus said,
“It is not what enters a person’s mouth that defiles him, but what comes OUT OF HIS MOUTH that defiles him.” -Matthew 15:11
