UPTV decided to find out what was most important to kids, so they went down to the Metro Atlanta Boys and Girls Club where 83 percent of the children come from low-income families that usually can’t afford any Christmas gifts at all. Then they presented them with one really difficult decision. Each kid was given exactly the present that they wanted for Christmas, and then were given the choice of either keeping it or giving the gift back and then giving mom and dad what they wanted instead. It was unanimous, every single kid chose to give their parents the present.

Ruining holidays since 2009

You can’t just have a nice family gathering. No. You have to command your Kool-Aid-Drinking O-Bots to descend on the holiday table like a bunch of locusts and turn a pleasant meal into a contentious episode of Point/Counter-Point.
But that’s Organizing for America. Ruining holidays since 2009.

Gee, who could have seen this coming… Barack Obama welcomed French President Francois Hollande to the White House today. During their joint press conference Obama made the tragedy all about him – kissing Michelle.
“By my bed in the residence is a picture of me and Michelle in Luxembourg Gardens. Kissing. Those are the memories we have of Paris.”

It is at times like this that I wish I was blessed with the rhetorical skills to adequately express the profound awe I’m in of people who willingly put their devotion to their country and the welfare of strangers, many of whom show animus toward them, and lay down their lives for what is in their hearts the noblest of causes. How my heart aches for the gold star families who were deprived of loved ones just entering the prime of their lives. I can scarcely contain my utter contempt for a president who treats such warriors as no more than gum on the sole of his shoe. I’ll not dwell on a critique of the Commander-In-Chief, this is not the day for it. It is rather to honor those who, as Lincoln said, “gave their last full measure of devotion.” We owe these immortals a debt we can never begin to repay. The best we can do is to honor them and make sure the sacrifices they made will not be in vain.
I had a bunch of links bookmarked from over the weekend that I planned to post here,but it doesn’t seem appropriate just now.

The regular visitors to our little garden know I’ve had my challenges. I’ve been broken financially, physically and spiritually. I’m cranky, grumpy, sarcastic,cynical and profane. When it seems things are at their darkest, Almighty God says:’Hey, I’ve got your back. I died for you,didn’t I?’ As we struggle to make sense of the chaos going on around us we must remember that He has never, and will never, fail. We don’t understand a lot of things, it is all we can do to follow His example and stay faithful.
Have a blessed Easter weekend and stay faithful.
The Challenge: What is Good about “Good Friday?”

Darkness fell across the land and the man they thought would be their savior cried out in a loud voice, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Soon after, he breathed his last. The people standing at the foot of the cross beat their breasts and walked away. From a distance, his mother and friends watched in somber silence as all this took place.
His disciples were broken in spirit—no doubt confused, hurting and angry. Disappointed to say the least. They had followed this man for years, left their work and their families for him. They thought he would change everything. But in the course of one day, all of their hopes were defeated.

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!
