Money spent Not crazy...

noreply@blogger.com (Pen of Jen) — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 12:11:00 +0000

Jennifer Aniston reportedly had a $50,000 haircut! I have always thought she was pretty but perhaps she doesn't? I mean how much can you do to a head of hair that merits $50,000? If I were in her circle perhaps I would have an intervention. She seems to be having some low self esteem, and therefore needed to uplift herself in the fashion of = spend money, feel pretty.

When Britney Spears took hairstyling into her own hands, her mental well being was taken into play and her children were only permitted to visit if another was present.

With the no sense logic of Hollywood and so many Americans addicted to the lights and camera, I see exactly why the stimulus seems to be a good idea. The need to spend money to create the ideal that one is making money is today's catch phrase.

Here is my tip for Miss Aniston, spend whatever you wish, as we Americans have lined your pockets because you spin a believable yarn, but in times where so many are struggling perhaps you should just be a bit more hush hush about it...

And Britney, nothing crazy in the US lasts, so Kudos to you with the clever career move. You now are back in the circuit and I know we bumbling idiots that need to be mind stimulated will sit and be intoxicated by your most certainly NOT SO INNOCENT stage performance.

Funny I read all of Hollywood's story when I was a little girl. I know most of you did too...click here to be sure that you have.

Why?

noreply@blogger.com (Pen of Jen) — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 14:18:00 +0000

Obama sees 'tougher times' for African Americans. Why? Are blacks unable to handle a stressful economy? Is race a factor?

We were called racists for mentioning anything about race during the election.

Now with government spending so much money(and statistically more blacks are on federal entitlement programs) why would blacks have a tougher time? Won't they be afforded more entitlements(I mean nearly a TRILLION DOLLARS TO REBOOT THE ECONOMY), such as education from cradle to grave, food stamps, welfare, birth control, more state funded abortions, additional affirmative action programs, blah blah blah.

I have news for everyone. Obama is NOT trying to unite this country. No, he is trying to divide the country, and has gone out of his way to push a wedge in everywhere. Seems to me, that when one stirs the water that perhaps they want mud.

Obama is pushing the citizens as far as he can, perhaps to civil unrest, rioting, protests, and even talk of revolts, for what purpose? Maybe he, like dictators in the past, wishes to have reason to call in the military.

Wow, to write that is frightening but I am no longer sure what Obama has as an allegiance to , but it is clear it is not the USA.

Remember this, his first televised interview was with a Muslim TV studio. He and his wife were never proud of this country, remember how he spoke about his grandmother? She was a typical white woman. Remember his church that he was a member of for 20 years? Remember Bill Ayers? Obama denied more than an acquaintance relationship, yet post election Ayers reveals a pretty good friendship. Remember how you have to pay your taxes? Obama has mocked us, by placing not one, not two but several tax evaders in his cabinet. How's that for showing us HE DOES NOT RESPECT THE LAWS THAT HE WILL REQUIRE US TO OBEY?

By the way, I believe differently than President Obama. I believe that all of us will be having tougher times because of the TRILLIONS* OF DOLLARS THAT OUR GOVERNMENT HAS GREEDILY ~~BORROWED~~ STOLEN. The money is not to stimulate but to fill every pork barrel in the world. Mind you technically they have no pork in the package...please research and read the package. You will be appalled at what has been inserted by GREEDY POLITICAL LEADERS.

* it will be in the trillions by the time we repay the loans.

Nancy Pelosi held a press conference to reassure the American public that everything is going to be just fine. We can take from her strength, confidence, and peaceful expression that assures us that we have no worries about the stimulus and the non-stop spending of our government...
I feel better- don't you??

Something to Think About

noreply@blogger.com (Pen of Jen) — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 17:28:00 +0000

"You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation.

You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."

Dr. Adrian Rogers , 1931 - 2005

Look for the Positive

noreply@blogger.com (Pen of Jen) — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 14:56:00 +0000

Often when things seem most dismal, we forget to see the positive. In times where the economy is so rough and probably will only get worse, the bright side is that the obesity crisis will work itself out of crisis mode.

Now many people are already in shape and they can take the lead and help those that are obese, into a fitness regime. You see it is important to have a balanced plan of exercise and diet.

Here is who I think should be the next Secretary of Fitness:

Real or Fake?

noreply@blogger.com (Pen of Jen) — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 02:34:00 +0000

It is surreal to believe that our nation has taken such a twist so quickly. Often times we look for the best in everyone and miss the truth that is right before our eyes.

Just because one says that they love this country means nothing. Their actions tell us differently. I will not rehash all the anti American sentiment that Obama has shown us. I will mention that in the past few weeks he has gone out of his way to align himself with those, that weeks before our nation considered enemies.

Obama has been completely open with with his sentiment and he has about half the population that believe in him.

When we believe in someone often we will not see the truth.

Kind of like these next pictures. The truth is that they are just sidewalks. The reality is that many cannot stop seeing a crevasse or a burning street, even though they are shown the truth.

My question is this: How much more proof do you need that Obama is diligently working to make America a socialist state?

Bailout Brilliance

noreply@blogger.com (Pen of Jen) — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 21:51:00 +0000

People are in need now, so the state of Washington has stepped up to the plate to rescue those hurting...read here what they did.

Boy this is going to stimulate the economy. I am so giddy with how I can hear the registers clicking once again...

And if you can stomach more read this article. If not here is a lovely blurb:

In the meantime, prepare for chaos.
Prepare for harder times than you have seen in your lifetime.
Prepare for more debt.
Prepare for more redistribution of wealth, more unfairness and inequity.
Prepare for one bailout after another.
Prepare for more "emergency" legislation like the so-called "stimulus" bill.
Prepare for unilateral executive action through presidential decision directives.
Prepare for attacks on the free press and free speech.
This is where we are inevitably going with the "change" promises by Obama.
You're going to get change all right.

Hand out or Hand up?

noreply@blogger.com (Pen of Jen) — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 14:43:00 +0000

I have really had no energy to post because of a few reasons. 1) I have been under the weather and 2) I am trying very hard to not *see* the destruction of my nation. I am trying to be upbeat but it is obvious that the leaders are not trying to make our nation greater but worse.

Yes I just wrote that.

I wonder if the readers of Pen of Jen get the reality of the sabotage of our nation by the government?

Here is one of the many proofs that the government desires not to make us great but instead desires to make is worse: If states accept the federal bailout money they must remove the Clinton era requirements on welfare. This means that before if you were able bodied, you were to look for work. Now this will not be the case. HUH????

The government does not wish for those who are dependent on the government achieving their independence...

FAILURE...

Oh and our leaders are already planning the next spendulous campaign...Be informed as this is not over- contact YOUR elected officials and tell them enough is ENOUGH.

UPDATE ON THE UPDATE Caption Anyone? Update: A collage of Captions

noreply@blogger.com (Pen of Jen) — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 14:32:00 +0000

UPDATE ON THE UPDATE~~
Sometimes we get comfortable and forget that we are guest of someone else on a blog. I know I have done it before, and I pray that I will not again.

But~ this is my blog. I chose the format and the style. I approve what is posted and what is not. I made a collage of captions and they stand. If you dislike someone else's comment please refrain from voicing your opinion. This is my blog. I have no problem with you attacking me, or my posts, but I will not stand for name calling or snide snippets. I hope that you all understand.

The economic crisis is catastrophic. Obama said so. He has told us that even that housing solution probably will not work. Having a bit of brevity and taking a photo and captioning it is a release. Of course the current political events are relevant as readers here know I discuss all things.

So I am deleting all comments as I allowed(in my rush today) to let another comment slip through that was calling another childish/juvenielle. This is not the place nor will I permit it.
Jennifer

The captions were ALL hilarious. Some sad as they reflect the current events of the day. I am going to make a collage of the captions submitted...let me know what you think.

Dream BIG!!! "Are you telling me we're up sh#t creek without a paddle?"

What the American economy looks like now, and an example of who's going to be punished by it in the future.

oh that Gilligan, we should have never asked *HIM* for directions..

Up a creek without a paddle? What creek, I didn't see the creek?and hey where's our paddle ?

All aboard the U.S.S. Hope 'n' Change! Man! You sure were thirsty!!!!

Well, mom won't have to worry about us drowning, THAT'S for sure!

Pray for rain!!

Do ya think we can make this thing float in water??

This is the cruise you promised me????

Memories and Mistakes

noreply@blogger.com (Pen of Jen) — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 14:35:00 +0000

Scientist are coming close to being able to erase bad memories. Although I am not a scientist, I wonder how exactly only the bad stuff is erased? In fact I am the person I am because of all the memories, the good, the bad, and the ugly. (Does anyone think mad scientist when they read this?)

Mistakes are part of life. Often times something that you thought was a mistake turns out being your greatest accomplishment. As I think about the lessons I learned because I made a mistake, I am constantly taken back to when President Obama and what he said if his daughter made a mistake. He did not want them punished...

I am not perfect and have made many mistakes. Perhaps you too have made a mistake that causes you to wish to erase that terrible memory. I say forget the hope of erasing the memory, and find someone who will introduce you to the great Eraser. The One that took all the sins of the world away. He can take your sin(mistake) away too. If you wish to know more on how to be forgiven for terrible mistakes you have made in your life email mcbenningministries(at)yahoo(dot)com. Remember this He already paid for your sins. He is just waiting for you to turn to Him.

An Article About Homeschooling

noreply@blogger.com (Pen of Jen) — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 14:34:00 +0000

I found an interesting article about homeschooling that is well worth your read. Here is the article:
Homeschooling: A Breeding Ground For Conservative Ideology
I have been homeschooling for so long that I thought that I had heard every argument against homeschooling. I confess that I was wrong. This quote made me laugh out loud:

Homeschooling is a true vocation and parents devote all the means necessary to it, even if it means tightening their belts. State schools have been financially sacrificed for decades in the US, especially under Republican administrations.

I can actually imagine one stomping their foot at the injustice that a homeschooler can tighten their belts, and devote more time to the homeschool child than the public school can. Do you know what vocation means?

According to the online dictionary vocation means this:
1. a particular occupation, business, or profession, calling
2. a strong impulse or inclination to follow a particular activity or career.
3. a Divine call to God's service or to the Christian life.
4. a function or station in life which one is called by God.

Teaching is a vocation. Instead of whining for more money, perhaps the children of the nation would be better served by the example set by the homeschool families. Instead of trying to determine what can be taken from the homeschool example a barb is tossed towards Republicans. This is a sad state of affairs that the article while correctly listing that homeschoolers are often times more prepared for college, we can only take the negativity towards homeschooling.

Take the title. If you are a conservative and your children are in public school, you are being told volumes. Public schools are liberal breeding grounds. So no matter what you try and instill in your child, the public schools have more time to subject your children to an ideology that you disagree with.

Another interesting point of the article is that homeschool parents are often untrained to educate their children, yet the movement is successful and children are learning. Do you understand the implications of this?

Of course I am not trying to change your minds on whether you should homeschool or not. But if public school failure is the blame of Republicans then what are you political beliefs? As a conservative are you willing to stand idly by and allow the blame to be placed on Republicans?

Just as the stimulus package will prove, dumping more money into anything rarely attains results unless the goal is firm and not wavering. Public schools no longer focus on the basics, but every political wind blowing its way. The curricula is outdated before it hits the classroom, and the bias is obvious in the textbooks. Ponder the texts that had several pages devoted to a man that had not even been elected president. Consider the revisionist textbooks-the liberal agenda of tearing down the walls of family.

By the way it is my vocation to

“Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it" (Prov 22:6).

Jennifer

Really?

noreply@blogger.com (Pen of Jen) — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 19:17:00 +0000

In the times where BIG government has reached an all time high, once again we are shown the true colors of the Left.You see, single moms have been the bleeding heart banner of the Left. Over and over we get to hear heroic tales of single moms raising incredible children(think the road to the White House), yet the woman who is emulating Angelina Jolie in looks, and Mrs. Duggar in motherhood, receives NO MERCY.

Heaven forbid she set up a website asking for help. Folks if she were pregnant(naturally) I would say the same thing-this didn't happen by herself. She had a licensed, trained physician implant the embryos. Hmm...the silence is DEAFENING.

I think that every church in the nation should send her homemade quilts, baby clothes, food, and on and on and on. HOW DARE all the baby suppliers discriminate against her because her doctor was playing god, but ill prepared to do so. In our presidential position(messiah like Obama) we have the same case. I mean the good doctor just listened and OBEYED to the great man of HOPE and CHANGE.

Let me make this very clear, I am not for this IVF nonsense where so many are implanted. I absolutely believe that the mother is at risk for carrying so many, as are the babies because of the increased chance in prematurity, and other health issues. Just for the record I had one baby in 1995 that was 10 weeks premature. I would have loved the internet access that we now have. I would have set up a site asking for prayer, and even gas coupons because Bill and I had to rotate who would drive the 225 miles to the hospital that I was life flighted to(Fourth spent nearly 10 weeks in the hospital the first time). Our other children were 6, 3, and 2. It was incredibly difficult to experience all the emotional activities that occur to a preemie. Bill and I had the ordeal of being asked to authorize surgery for her...without anesthesia, as the surgeon told us she could die from the anesthesia. I cannot imagine having to deal with this times eight.

SHE IS SINGLE. We have embraced woman's rights in this nation. We have given a woman the ultimate authority in deciding whether the fetus in her lives or dies. SO THE NEGATIVE ATTITUDE PERPETUATED BY THE MEDIA NEEDS TO STOP. This mother just choose something that you on the Left believe a woman of sound mind would not choose. She choose to be a mother, and have a large family. That is the reality of this whole argument that is being continued.

I say YOU NEED TO STOP...If you do not wish for a woman to have this incredible power to cease or permit life then we can have a civil conversation. But ALL I HEAR IS YOUR DOUBLE STANDARD.

I KNOW THAT THE DOUBLE STANDARD IS SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH FROM THE LEFT...NO MORE.

If you have any clothing from your children or babies that you no longer use, wash it up, pack it up and send it her way. In these times(MSM) words, if you are fortunate enough to have some extra money, offer to pay a utility bill for a few months. You get the idea- let us recapture our nation. This is her blog.

Oh and the doctor playing god? Why are we keeping him protected?

BTW- if she aborted the 8...we would have never known about it- BECAUSE THIS WOULD HAVE CAUSED NO STIR...AS IT IS HER RIGHT.

Advice for Valentine's Day

noreply@blogger.com (Pen of Jen) — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 03:15:00 +0000

Dear Readers
I am a very average person. If you saw me on the street, you probably would smile at me, because I would at you. But you would not be able to describe me aside from the fact that I am short.

I love being loved. I love loving my husband. Sappy but true, I really love him. You would notice him on the street for two reasons: he is very tall, and within minutes you would believe that you had met your old buddy from school. He is very personable, and just one of those people that is always upbeat.

One day my husband and I crossed paths and two days after our first meeting he proposed. Six weeks later we married. We decided early on that I would stay at home and Bill would work. Even before we had the children I became Bill’s helpmeet at home. I decorated our first tiny home with frilly girly things, and baked the only thing I knew how to bake…Chinese food from the can (you know the type it has two cans connected and then you buy the crunchy noodles to serve on the top). Side note-Bill told me after one dinner to never make it again. You guessed it: I botched a canned dinner!

But I never botched rushing to the door and greeting that young man. I would rush to the door and hug him and welcome him home to his castle. I would serve him meal after meal of a young woman learning how to cook. He ate everything after the Chinese dinner without complaint, as my eyes filled with tears when he told me never to make him that again. I think I broke his heart with the pain I felt that he knew he caused. It is a sorry trait that I have that my eyes well up with tears easily.

But the years passed and my cooking actually was bringing Bill’s co-workers over with him for dinner (Bill was in law enforcement-civilian and military). I was pleased that Bill could rest assured that the home was our haven-comfortable, cozy, clean, and safe…all things that one in law enforcement does not see in daily job, and therefore needed this to recharge.

Year after year for a few years we added extra little people to love. Mixed between were a few losses as pregnancy and I were not so compatible. Four children, in my opinion, ended up with the very best of Bill’s and my characteristics. I am in awe that we were able to bring them into this world.

I am no longer that young woman that had a car break down in Nevada…although the very amazing thing is that a bad situation of car problems changed my life forever. I met Bill as a result of that clunker car! I am a bit wider than when we met, a whole lot grayer, and more in love than I was when we met.

And I will tell you why, which is where the advice part of this post comes in to play. I am more in love with my Bill, because when I look into his eyes, I see how much he loves me. I see the depths of compassion, desire, anticipation, passion, hope, the future and a woman that I do not see when I look in the mirror. I see in his eyes a beautiful woman that is in his mind the most incredible woman on the planet. So you see that is the advice- speak with your eyes. Don’t rush off to Jared’s and buy a diamond, or flowers, but tell a love story to your spouse with everything in your soul, through your eyes. I will tell you this, I sometimes cry wondering how I ended up so fortunate. Somewhere out there I am sure a country song could be applied.

So this year get a bit corny and open up your heart and soul to the one that you love. As for me and my cutie this is our 21st Valentines Day as husband and wife so I am hoping you will appreciate that my advice is still of a newlywed couple and we haven’t experienced life yet- aside from 36+ moves in several states, several countries, had four children, experienced a life threatening injury, and live on a farm that we named the Double Nickel Farm for no other reason other than once we bought the farm we didn’t have two nickels to rub together.

Oh and Bill, I look forward to the next twenty-one years as so far you have taken me around the world…what is next?
I love you, and I will update this advice when we are married 42 years.

A Simple Story

noreply@blogger.com (Pen of Jen) — Sat, 07 Feb 2009 20:48:00 +0000

Here is a story I heard when I was a young woman.

Long ago a young brave Indian was out in the mountains looking for game. He was not too far up in elevation but the temperature was chilly. As he walked he saw a rattlesnake, and he blinked twice as the snake began to talk to him.

"Please pick me up and take me down to the valley, as I am so cold" the snake said to the Indian. "No" the Indian said, because of course this was a rattlesnake. But after much pleading with the Indian the snake convinced him that he would not strike him.

The Indian picked up the snake and carried him down the mountain. Once he was in the valley he placed the rattlesnake down...and bam the snake struck and injected his poisonous venom in the Indian.

"Why" the Indian asked? The snake smugly replied "You knew what I was when you picked me up!"

I believe wholeheartedly that this story is relevant today. Our leaders are trying to buy our way out of a bad situation. The financial problems are a result of overspending and poor money management. A large percentage of the stimulus is going to PORK(so nothing will improve, it will be more of the same)

This is not a cloudy day that soon will be replaced by sunshine. So now to this thought:

We have picked up this snake...NOW WHAT?

Surprise!

Something to Ponder

noreply@blogger.com (Pen of Jen) — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 15:34:00 +0000

To the global Mother Earth crowd:

I am the problem.

I do not believe in your story.
I did not believe the Big Bang(as believing in something from nothing is a religion, just as my faith in God "In the beginning, God created")
I do not believe that my carbon footprint is evil because I live in the United States, while a woman in China is not responsible for her footprint. Equalize the standards or I am not going to pay attention.
On that note, if Al Gore is permitted to abuse the environment in his private jet because he is an alarm sounder then where can I sign up? Please send my private jet to the White Sands of New Mexico as I would love to begin saving the planet viewing from above the lovely National Park.

I am the problem.
I have three brothers and four sisters and they all tragically had more than their share of little carbons. Some even had double the alloted number of children. Bill has two brothers and four sisters. They too broke the carbon reproduction figure.
I am once again the problem. I am a fan of using toilet paper instead of cloth wipes.
I am the problem because I heat my home with wood heat, because no one would permit more nuclear power plants which could and should provide low cost power.
I am the problem because I serve meat to my family. I do not see the animal as a god and therefore place it where God told me to, under man.
I am the problem because I realize that to become earth friendly you expect one to spend oodles of money retrofitting the home into a green palace. The truth is coming closer to the surface- $$$$
I am the problem because sometimes I take two hot baths in one day. If I ache and feel the need or even if I just wish to soak and read a good book.
I am the problem because I drive a BIG GIANT TRUCK(F-250) and you would prefer that we have no vehicles to transport hay or animals or pull trailers to the farm.
I am the problem because I see our colleges and universities as being high-jacked by your agenda of America as the EVIL ABUSER OF THE WORLD.

I am the problem.
I do not believe in your story because it is about making money more than the planet.

If I believed your story I would feel inclined to die early as my very presence is part of the plague.
If I believed your story I would feel inclined to impress upon the viral humans that their offspring are just tissues until birth so off as many as you desire before term.
If I believed your story, I would have no foundation of truth- I mean the very premise of man being here is a happen chance of luck and survival. So I would do what ever it takes to make me and my family on top...survival of the fittest you know. Who says that killing is wrong? or theft? I mean what is to stop me from wiping out millions of virus/humans that are destroying my planet.

If I believed your story I would understand that any type of physical pleasure is fine as I am just an animal that made it higher on the evolutionary ladder...so have at it with children, men, women and any sort of lower animal species.
If I believed your story then it really doesn't matter what I accumulate here on earth as I am just awaiting my role as worm food, so I may as well be one who cheats clients out of millions or the bum living in the dumpster behind McDonalds.

If I believed your story I would not ride in cars, live in homes or use anything man made as remember man is the problem. I guess I would have to go around unclothed as clothing even animal or vegetation is taking from the environment.
If I believed your story I would not be able to go by a bookstore or a library without weeping as I reflect on the massive amount of trees that had to have been destroyed to provide the reading pleasure for the viral humans.

I do not believe the environmental story. What do you believe?

As a Christian I believe that God made this planet for man. Man is the problem, but God sent His Son to resolve our sins once and for all. God gave a book of hope and joy for us to reflect upon in all times. He even gave us a glimpse into the future(well for man) and we can read the Bible today as if we are reading or watching the news as the prophecies foretold so many years ago are unfolding before our eyes.

Perhaps you are in the middle of the issue, not really believing in the Global crowd anymore than you believe in the God crowd. I just have one question for you, who taught you everything that you know, because I promise you the Christians have not been welcome in our public schools since the late fifties...as teaching God's way. The educational system is lined with those who are smarter than God, therefore the truth that they share is exclusive. If they were so sure that they had the truth then let God in. But they can't because it is faith to believe in millions and billions of years, just as it is to believe in God- but with millions and billions they get to be the hero...and the Creator is denied.

One day you will die. Do you place all your faith in a system that man says created itself or will you ponder the possibility that God created it all? Either way death seals the door. Ponder that as you read the computer screen, because the randomness of the internet creating itself is what the notion of in the beginning BANG...
