    Arizona Grandmother Insists That 8-Year-Old Was Capable of Killing
    http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/11/27/AR2008112702553.html?nav=rss_nation

    “‘I knew this would happen,’ she [his grandmother] said. ‘They were too hard on [the boy]. I knew [the boy] did it. He spent the night in my bed cuddling up to me. I had a feeling he did it. If any 8-year-old boy is capable of doing this, it’s [the boy].’”

    “In a police interview released last week, the boy said he had been spanked five times the night before the shootings because he did not bring home some papers from school. The boy told a state Child Protective Services worker that his 1,000th spanking would be his last, according to the documents released Wednesday.”

    “In an affidavit for a search warrant, Sgt. Lucas Rodriguez writes that the boy tallied the spankings on a piece of paper.”

    All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth (Video)

    | November 24, 2008

    During the past couple of weeks, C7 had been busy wiggling her top two baby teeth until they fell out. She just happened to lose the first one on the same day she attended a little girl “fairy” party with some other homeschoolers. It was fun to have the “Tooth Fairy” visit that very night.

    This is the perfect time of year for C7 to sing “All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth” with her new smile. She and her doll plan to wear matching dresses and sing this song tomorrow evening at the Old Folk’s Home.

    All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth

    All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth

    All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth,
    My two front teeth,
    See my two front teeth

    Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth,
    Then I could wish you ‘Merry Christmas.’

    It seems so long since I could say,
    “This is Susie sitting on a thistle”
    Gosh oh gee, how happy I’d be,
    If I could only whistle ( thhh-thhh ).

    All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth,
    My two front teeth,
    See my two front teeth.

    Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth,
    Then I could wish you ‘Merry Christmas.’

    Remember feeling like this on election night???

    Attending Religious Services Sharply Cuts Risk Of Death, Study Suggests
    http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/11/081119174230.htm

    “Regular attendance at religious services reduces the risk of death by approximately 20 percent.”

    I think it has to do with understanding forgiveness and learning to “let go”.

    Snowflakes

    If it HAS to snow, I like it when you can see the detail of each snowflake. That is what happened today. I took these pictures of snowflakes that landed on our deck and BBQ.
