This new anti-Romney ad is so full of lies, I need my barfing emoticon. We as women need to study the issues of what it really means to be "pro-woman". We are so misled. http://www.theblaze.com/stories/new-obama-ad-real-conservative-women-should-vote-democrat-because-romney-wants-to-ban-abortion-contraception/

This year's election is critical to the future of our country. If you havent seen the movie 2016, I would HIGHLY encourage you to go and see for yourself. Bestselling author and Professor Dinesh D'Souza, an Indian immigrant, explores President Barack Obama's past and examines the dreams of Obama's father. In the documentary we hear from Obama's half-brother and also from close friends Obama's father. It is very sobering and fascinating. D'Souza offers no conspiracy theories or mad-cap ideas but a realistc protrayal of what has happened in the past and what may come in the future. It's worth the time to see this movie no matter what you may have heard from other people. Check it our for yourself and decide. See the trailer below- http://2016themovie.com/

My deep gratitude goes out to all of those who attended the gathering on Sunday afternoon. Thank you so very much for making that day so special. You are all in my heart and prayers and you are much loved! :)

AP photo As much as the tiny little bikinis worn by most of the women beach volleyball players irked me to the  very end, I freely admit that I cried my eyes out watching Misty May and Kerri Walsh win an unprecedented third gold medal in Olympic beach volleyball. It was beautiful to watch them continue to battle every opponent and never give up. They never gave up no matter what the score was. It was inspiring to behold. All those years of work, sacrifice and struggle paid off in every way possible. Misty and Kerri will probably go down as the best beach volleyball team in the history of the game. Amazing. God bless them. I saw a statistic that one of the Chinese players in the bronze medal match worked out four hours a day, six days a week, 50 weeks a year....for the past 10 years. That's the kind of work it takes to be a successful Olympic athlete. Imagine if we spent that much time in prayer and serving others!

A recent headline caught my particular attention wherein the ever present and famous Kim Kardashian was the subject of a new song written just for her by her also-famous boyfriend, Kanye West. (at left) Now, what woman wouldn't want a song written in her honor, extolling her loveliness and beauty? Except when the song written for you and about to be released to a global audience is called, Perfect B****. Ahem. Really? Oh, yes, Kanye's ode to his beloved bears the title, Perfect B****. And in case there was any confusion over whom the song was about, Kanye tweeted yesterday that the song was indeed about Kim. Read the whole story here (if you want your eyes to fly out of your head). Now, even though Hollywood is not the starting place to look for virtue, is this what passes for a compliment these days? Really? Referring to a woman in that regard is a compliment? God help us all. That Kanye would write a song like this says a lot about him but it also says a lo...

In a very real way, the chorus of this song could be sung in Heaven! That is the only place where we don't even have to try 'cause it's always a good time :)
