I bought two boxes of size 6 Huggies on clearance today, saving me $54.22 off the regular price!!! That doesn’t happen every day! The diaper company changed the packaging, and the grocery store wanted to get rid of the old style! I wish I could have bought more, but there were only two boxes left.

Traditional spiritual
Free from the law, O happy condition,
Jesus has bled and there is remission,
Cursed by the law and bruised by the fall, Grace hath redeemed us once for all.
Once for all, O sinner, receive it,
Once for all, O brother, believe it;
Cling to the cross, the burden will fall, Christ hath redeemed us once for all.
Now we are free, there’s no condemnation,
Jesus provides a perfect salvation.
“Come unto Me,” O hear His sweet call,
Come, and He saves us once for all.
“Children of God,” O glorious calling, Surely His grace will keep us from falling;
Passing from death to life at His call;
Blessèd salvation once for all.
My soul is filled with joy and gladness
Since Jesus came to me.
His love has banished all my sadness, From sin I am set free.
He set me free, He set me free,
I was blind, but hallelujah, now I see!
I shall ne’er forget the day When He washed my sins away,
And He set, He set me free.
The Comforter divine is dwelling
Within my soul today;
His love to others I am telling
Since Jesus came to stay.
The grace of Jesus hath abounded
For all my sins I see,
Salvation walls have me surrounded, From sin I am set free.
Once I was bound by sin’s galling fetters;
Chained like a slave, I struggled in vain. But I received a glorious freedom,
When Jesus broke my fetters in twain.
Glorious freedom! Wonderful freedom!
No more in chains of sin I repine!
Jesus the glorious Emancipator—
Now and forever He shall be mine.
Freedom from all the carnal affections;
Freedom from envy, hatred and strife;
Freedom from vain and worldly ambitions;
Freedom from all that saddened my life!
Freedom from pride and all sinful follies;
Freedom from love and glitter of gold;
Freedom from evil temper and anger;
Glorious freedom, rapture untold!
Freedom from fear with all of its torments;
Freedom from care with all of its pain;
Freedom in Christ, my blessèd Redeemer—
He Who has rent my fetters in twain.
Why should I feel discouraged, why should the shadows come,
Why should my heart be lonely, and long for heaven and home,
When Jesus is my portion? My constant friend is He:
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.
I sing because I’m happy,
I sing because I’m free,
For His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me.
“Let not your heart be troubled,” His tender word I hear,
And resting on His goodness, I lose my doubts and fears;
Though by the path He leadeth, but one step I may see;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.
Whenever I am tempted, whenever clouds arise,
When songs give place to sighing, when hope within me dies,
I draw the closer to Him, from care He sets me free;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.
In case you don’t know American history, or only listen to mainstream media or heaven-forbid, CANADIAN television, please note that Obama’s speech yesterday, was full of LIES. I was actually shocked that Obama was so blatant in describing his beliefs and his deceptions. He knows the media is rooting for him.
“During Wednesday’s episode of the Glenn Beck Program on GBTV, Glenn noted that while at the Fox News network, he was advised to never call the president a “liar” under any circumstances. The logic being that the public would prefer to hear that the president “misspoke” rather than believing he could lie…”

My kids knew enough to trash all their stupid participation trophies and awards long ago. Nothing to be proud of. The participation awards make the awards that they actually did earn not mean as much.
The paranoia is in bloom, the PR The transmissions will resume They’ll try to push drugs Keep us all dumbed down and hope that We will never see the truth around (So come on!)
Another promise, another scene, another A package not to keep us trapped in greed With all the green belts wrapped around our minds
And endless red tape to keep the truth confined (So come on!)
They will not force us They will stop degrading us They will not control us We will be victorious
Interchanging mind control Come let the revolution take its toll if you could Flick a switch and open your third eye, you’d see that We should never be afraid to die (So come on!)
Rise up and take the power back, it’s time that The fat cats had a heart attack, you know that Their time is coming to an end We have to unify and watch our flag ascend
They will not force us They will stop degrading us They will not control us We will be victorious
Hey .. hey … hey .. hey! Hey .. hey … hey .. hey!
They will not force us They will stop degrading us They will not control us We will be victorious
Nov. 2: Rock on Tea Party! Let Freedom Ring!! ……. Americans need a voting system like ours – no chads or dimples or voter fraud…
Nov. 2: Channel 507 on Bell ExpressVu ** FOX NEWS ROCKS!! ** Glenn Beck’s Insider Extreme is great, too. ** Tea partying tonight! ** Been hoping for the tide to turn for the past 25 years. ** See ya later Reid and Pelosi. ** My goal is personhood for the unborn.
Nov. 3: Boys stayed up until 1AM and 2AM. B12 made a chart with red and blue markers. They enjoyed the evening immensely. What makes US politics more fun is that unlike Canada, all the parties aren’t the same. Here, we have socialist, more socialist, and most socialist. We don’t have true conservatives nor libertarians.
My husband, two oldest sons, and I watched Glenn Beck’s Kennedy Center service on Friday evening, as well as the Restoring Honor rally on Saturday. Both events were very encouraging and inspiring. We loved hearing Dave Roever at the Kennedy Center. My husband and I heard him speak on abstinence when we were teenagers. I knew Chuck Norris would be speaking (homeschooling parent). He was so nervous. It was nice to see video of Glenn Beck’s wife, Tania, on his website. Sarah Palin (mom of soldier) was awesome at the Restoring Honor rally. I loved hearing Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s niece, Dr. Alveda King speak at the rally. She is a strong, brave, pro-life advocate. I appreciated the prayers at the Kennedy Center and the singing at the Lincoln Memorial – both things they were warned about. The bagpipes playing Amazing Grace was touching. It was encouraging to see all the people of different faiths and backgrounds come together.
“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”
Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
[This must have been exciting:] Geese Fly By Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Honor” rally
Edited to add this note and two more geese videos:
I LOVED that they said that it was a military flyover (planned by the King of Kings). Before the event, Glenn asked all around for some kind of military representation (cannons, etc.), but everyone refused, so that is why he got the boyscout (which was better anyway.) (Note the kids’ conversation in the second video below.)

“Now for some ‘compare & contrast’ as far as cleanliness goes. Here’s the National Mall, post Restoring Honor rally, where hundreds of thousands of anti-environment, non-green, polluting right wingers had been gathered:”

“Now our priority seems to be to make sure the abortion centers are set up and funded right away. Is the ink, Mr. President, even dry on your executive order? What is your word worth, sir?”
“The financial collapse also battered our northern neighbor, Canada, although not quite to the same extent it did us. (Canada has more conservative banking and lending policies, which shielded them from the worst of the problems.) Instead of using a blizzard of government spending to correct a downturn in unemployment, Canada tightened its belt and rode it out.”
My sons (11 and 16) wanted to listen to these lectures, so we joined Glenn Beck’s Insider Extreme last week. They were impressed with the first lecture, and also enjoy watching the live webcam of the Glenn Beck program. Fun(ny) stuff!!
“Last year, after Bristol and I broke up, I was unhappy and a little angry. Unfortunately, against my better judgment, I publicly said things about the Palins that were not completely true,” he tells PEOPLE exclusively. “I have already privately apologized to Todd and Sarah. Since my statements were public, I owe it to the Palins to publicly apologize.”
I wonder if he is getting big bucks to get back in the good graces of the Palin family in order to give the media dirt.
