Oh my. I just had to post this vid. It won't embed here on my blog, as that was disabled by the poster of the original vid, however, here is a link. I highly suggest watching it, if only because it's my favorite band - Jars of Clay!! Yay!

Dear Mr. Obama
Though I am not a McCain supporter (I love Palin), I am very much opposed to Barack Obama. Please watch this short video.
Here is a response video to the Dear Mr. Obama vid above. I think this man in the following vid has some great points. My only thing is, even if Obama has the intellectual right to oppose the war in Iraq because it is killing our people, it is a huge oxymoron due to the fact that Obama is waging a war on his own people (meaning Americans and black Americans in particular) with supporting Planned Parenthood, which targets minority neighborhoods with it's abortion practices and his support of abortion, particularly partial birth and allowing the baby to be killed or to die when an abortion is botched and the baby is born alive. What an atrocity! I still can't believe that Oprah, who I used to believe to be a thinking human being, supports this schmuck.
'Nuff said.

The Varberg household
Just wanted to update everyone on what's been happening in our neck of the woods.
Aside from my step-dad's illness and my nephew Drew's asthma attack, so far the last few months have been relatively uneventful for us. Nothing terribly exciting anyway! Here is what has been happening:
Kayla just finished volleyball. For those of you who don't know us well, she is going to the local Christian school. I work there 3 days a week to help pay the tuition. Occasionally David and Kayla help me with that when I have to work and I am under the weather! She is doing well in school, both academically and socially. We had a couple of incidents early in the year (with friends) but nothing that couldn't be handled with some firm guidance from her parental units.
Josh has his snakes (Amazon Tree Boa - Phantom, Ball Python - Ruby, Burmese Python - Sapphire), an Iguana - Emerald, Ferret - Bob, an Anole and house gecko - unnamed, and constantly breeding feeder mice and rats, also thankfully unnamed! That's just in his room! He also has a dog (Spitz) named Roxy that comes and goes from his room. He plans on breeding the ball python and a leopard gecko that he does not have yet to make some money. He's really into zoology and biology at the moment.
Which brings me to our new co-op. He is really enjoying it, but I don't think we will be going back next year. I don't know what the deal is with this particular group, which really bums me out as it's the only group in our county that we are involved in. We are also involved in groups in other counties, but it would really be lovely if Josh could meet some people closer to home. Anyway, a person or two in this new co-op just rubs me wrong. I feel as if we are constantly being censored, me in particular and there is a constant power struggle. I don't know what the threat is (from me to them) but I am discerning that there must be one. I try very hard to be humble and kind, but it really is getting the better of me! I can't even send out e-mails to the group! I'm a reasonable person, so when I send out something of the same caliber as the others, and mine gets denied, or ignored, it gets really frustrating!! I have all but ceased posting there, which really doesn't help with making new friends in the group. My friend is in the co-op as well and I think she is equally frustrated. Okay, perhaps not as much as I am, but almost! At least I know it's not just me. In fact, I have heard from others in the group that they are frustrated with the e-mail control thing.
Okay, I digress. I didn't intend to rant on about the co-op! This is about the family, right?
David is still working (praise God), but sometimes it is shaky. He will occasionally find out that his contract is up or that the project he is on is no longer billable. Thankfully his company, Keane, Inc. is really taking care of him and making sure he can remain on. I think that is saying something.
David just turned 45 (oh wow!) on the 28th. I can't believe it!
Like I said before, I am working at Kayla's school, homeschooling Josh (not too bad now that he's older and more independent), working at Tractor Supply in town, still on the board of GRACE Homeschool Co-op as secretary, though that's probably not going to last much longer and on the board (secretary) and active in American Heritage Girls, a Christian Scouting organization that Kayla and I do together.
As a family, we are reorganizing and making changes in the house. Painting walls, stairs, floors, trim and so-on. Trying to figure out what to do with the floor tile that is coming up in the main bathroom. Trying to afford to get our wood stove fully installed - still!
We have three dogs we care for (one of them Josh's dog Roxy). The other two are Coco, the beagle mix and Emma, the dachshund mix. My babies! We have an indoor cat named Snickerdoodle that David just HAD to have (years ago), but that lays on me and next to me most nights. Go figure. We also have anywhere from 15 to 20 outdoor cats that we care for. I really need to figure out a way to afford to get them fixed. They are passing viruses and diseases to one another and some don't live very long. I'm tired of burying animals. It's a sad thing.
We also have ducks and hens. No more roosters. They were all killed this spring/summer from raccoons. About 6 of our hens were too. We hardly get any eggs from the hens that are left. It's sad, really. I used to sell eggs and now we are buying them for us.
I'm pretty active in anything political, homeschool related and pro-life related. Those are my passions - besides my family and my animals!
I think I about covered everything. I hope to keep updates on the family here and there as we go along, but I felt I needed to give one general posting about us first.

Logan and his calf
My cousin Julie just sent this link to me. I had heard the clip on our local Christian radio station, but I just LOVE this clip, as it also includes a picture of Logan, some footage and some clips from the radio station and others about Logan and his family. Just awesome. I simply cannot listen to him speaking to the talk show host at the radio station Logan called into without crying. If you can do it, I'd be amazed.

What a black man has to say about why he can't vote for Obama
The following is what I sent out via e-mail recently and I promised to post on my blog:
The following article from Snopes.com is from a black Christian pianist, Huntley Brown. Snopes verified with him that he actually wrote the following letter. A comment from Snopes (and Mr. Brown) follows the letter which I found interesting as well.
We don't have much time to get the word out about Obama. The facts that Mr. Brown mentions can be verified fairly easily. Many of Obama's beliefs have been mentioned by him, in his book and on tape - both video and audio. The mainstream media, which are decidedly liberal, will not point these things out. (see Media Research Center for info on exposing liberal bias) To be intellectually honest, one would have to show all of the bad things about someone as well as the good and this is not being done. The conservative shows are pointing out the bad (primarily) and the liberal shows are pointing out the good (primarily). One would need to watch both shows to see. I stand by my belief that if you can see what Obama stands for and still you support him, then I think you should. My problem is that most of us are not for infanticide, socialism, communism, Marxism, Lenninism, higher taxes, giving our money involuntarily to those who don't work as hard as you (that would be all the "-isms" I mentioned), was involved in ACORN (the organization that is committing voter fraud). And the list goes on. Yet we are saying we want to vote for him because it would be cool to have a black president. Yes, I believe it would. However, not THIS one. Besides, Joe Biden can't get through an interview with Barbara West without getting angry because someone finally has the gall to give him the hard questions that Sarah Palin has been deflecting all along. (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxT0ELP7az0)
Okay, 'nuff of my soapbox. Read Huntley Brown's. He probably puts it much more eloquently than I.

Gianna Jessen (abortion survivor) Interview on Hannity and Colmes -- including my own testimony
Gianna Jessen is an abortion survivor. Her biological mother attempted to abort her 7 1/2 months into her pregnancy. What she had done is called a saline abortion, which should have burned her alive, inside and out, in her mother's womb. After 18+ hours of being subjected to this saline solution, she should have been delivered dead by the abortionists. Instead, she was born alive. If Barack Obama has his way, Gianna would have been left to die, or she would have been suffocated, strangled or in some other way killed by the abortion doctor. If this doesn't cause you to be outraged, there is something seriously wrong with my delivery of this information or with your emotions.
As you will see in the video of the Hannity & Colmes Show (below), Obama voted 4 times to allow the baby to die. He actually stated in an interview that the original intent of the mother and doctor should be carried out. That means, he thinks the baby should be killed if the abortion fails, like what happened to Gianna Jessen.
I read Gianna's book by Jessica Shaver years ago, and it was really an eye-opener.
Here we have the interview on Hannity and Colmes:
I can't go on with the subject of the horrific practice of abortion without telling you that in some states, it is legal to abort during all 9 months of a pregnancy. After a certain point in the pregnancy, when the baby is viable outside of the womb, there is something they do called partial-birth abortion. As if abortion at any time weren't bad enough, this practice allows the doctor to go in with forceps, grab the baby by the leg and pull the baby out except for his/her head. At the base of the skull the abortionist will puncture the baby's head with scissors and open them to widen the hole. The abortionist will then stick a tube into the hole and suck out the baby's brains. The abortionist will then deliver the rest of the baby. This is infanticide at it's worst, only being legal by a technicality...that being that the baby isn't completely delivered, so they can still call it abortion. It is reprehensible!
If the Jewish community is appalled by the holocaust on it's people (which they rightly should be), then they should stop voting for democrats and republicans that support this horrible holocaust on the youngest in our human race! The same is true for the black community. More than 90% of the abortion clinics are set up in their neighborhoods, killing off all of the black babies in this world. That should be something to hang your hat on, not whether or not the person running for office has the same amount of melanine in their skin as you!
What is wrong with people that they can justify this in their heads????? I mean, really. How deceived we must be. Or perhaps it's a brainwash thing - brainwashed into politcal correctness and going with the crowd. I jumped off that bus a long time ago.
If you have trouble with this because you have had an abortion yourself, there IS forgiveness from the One who can give it. Jesus Christ. Our God is an awesome God and as the song goes, He Reigns!!! Please consider giving your life to Him, the only One who can save us from this sinful world. I have my hope in Him and don't know where I'd be had I chosen otherwise.
God had His eyes on me before I was saved, I can tell you that.
Here is my own story:
When I was in my early 20s, I was not living a very good lifestyle. I was going to bars, flirting with anyone and seeking something to believe in. I was going with a guy who, when I tried to break off the relationship, he tried to kill me.
I then met someone new. He was so nice and kind to me. He was 4 years younger than I but he didn't look it or act it. We smoked some pot together. We did a lot of things together! I got pregnant after the first time. Now, previously I had been struggling with 4 years of urinary tract infections. The urologist told me that I had a lot of scar tissue and that I would most likely not be able to have babies. The pot-smoking guy I was with also should not have had any viable sperm (or very little), as marijuana is known to lower sperm count tremendously-especially when you smoke daily for two years straight as he did. We also used contraceptives. I got pregnant anyway.
At this time of my life, right before I got pregnant, I was searching for something. Something I could sink my teeth into. Something to believe in. I was stealing books on witchcraft from local bookstores. I was fantasizing about shaving my head, getting an ivy tattoo across my skull and changing my name to Ivy. I wanted to travel the country with some friends, including my new guy, in a VW bus and working odd jobs.
Then I got pregnant.
Wow, did that change things fast!
Though I was not a born-again Christ-follower, I did believe that abortion was wrong. I had a crap job and no way in sight, but being the ever optimist, I chose to keep my baby. It was suggested that I abort, as single parenthood is hard, but I was determined.
Life was hard. Not only because I ended up on state aid for most of my pregnancy and until my son was 11 months old, but because my "guy" ended up not being so responsible. He was still a "nice guy" with good intentions, but had a lot of issues and messed-up priorities. Let's just say rims for his car or a new sound system came before the water/gas bills and his son.
When my son was still a toddler, I began working in a factory that made windows for sunrooms. I worked the afternoon shift. My manager for the night crew was a Christian and he went to church each Sunday morning, Sunday evening and on Wednesday evenings. He offered to take anyone to church Wednesday nights (we extended our lunch hour a bit and made up for it later in the week), if they so desired. I asked a lot of questions, as I was still seeking. What really impressed me was that he did not pretend to know the answers I asked. He told me he knew there was an answer, but that he would need to find out. I liked that a lot. At that time though, I did not believe the bible to be true. One day, I asked my manager what I needed to do to join them at church. He was ecstatic! I went, and the rest is history. It did take a while, but I learned so much and the Holy Spirit worked in me. I eventually believed in the bible, but not because of anything anyone said. It wasn't an intellectual thing. It was a God thing! Hallelujah!
I digress. It's safe to say that I chose life. It would have been much less embarrassing, much more convenient and probably a smoother life for me had I aborted. But then, I would not have had the joy and honor of raising a son who is extremely honest, smart, adorable, cute, witty, funny, interesting and just a joy to have around. I can't imagine my life without him.
I have since become a born-again, bible-believing, Jesus-following Christian. I married, adopted a 7 year old girl, bought a house, homeschool and generally love my life. Life certainly has changed for me! Praise God!

Barack Obama - Oh what a tangled web we weave
I think I have just about had it with this guy and the people who think he's all that and a bag of chips. I really don't understand how a thinking person (I mean REALLY thinking) can come to the conclusion that he is good enough to be president. I'm not talking about choosing McCain, because truth be told, I'm not all that crazy about him either.
Here are some things that I think people need to consider: First--THINK! KNOW! LEARN! There are people who don't even know why the heck they are voting for him. Oh, they are voting because he's black. Heck, I have no problem with that. If Condi Rice or Colin Powell were running, they would have my vote. I have no issues with the color of his skin. It's melanin. It's those of you who want him because he's black. Or those who want him because he's a democrat and that's what you are. Get over yourself and think about who you're voting for. We are not democrats and republicans. We are thinking people. Act like it. Here is my case in point. (a short audio) Harlem Voters: http://www.bpmdeejays.com/upload/hs_sal_in_Harlem_100108.mp3
Then you have the 2nd Amendment issue. As many of you know, I am very much in favor of our rights as citizens. I am also for freedom. I think most of us are, however, I go a step further, anticipating what our current legislators and politicians are trying to push through to keep us from our freedoms. That's why I wanted to vote for Ron Paul. He's a constitutionalist. He believes in abiding by the constitution and not trying to rewrite it as situations arise. I still may vote for him. I don't know. Lots of prayers, that's for sure. He is supporting Chuck Baldwin, who is running under the U.S Tax Payers Party (aka Constitution Party). Mr. Paul believes that only the two main parties will be eligible for president, so he has not veered away from the Republican party, even though his supporters have been trying to get him to run under another party. Anyway, back to the 2nd Amendment thing. Here is what I received and believe to be accurate. This is a pdf file: http://www.wmsa. net/Politics/ open_letter_ to_sportsmen. pdf
As if that weren't enough to do all you can to block this guy's path to the White House, here is another point which is just APPALLING to know and then vote for the schmuck. He is for infanticide. Voted three times against a bill that is supposed to stop the terrible practice of allowing botched abortions (babies born alive) to sit in a soiled linen closet to die, sometimes for hours on end. Abortion itself is horrible, but how someone could do that is just beyond me. This video does not have any thing gross or graphic, but listening to it is definitely disturbing, as it should be. Please pass this along to your Obama-loving friends and family.
And last but certainly not least is his wife, Michelle. If this matters at all to you what goes on the minds of the Obama family, even pre-Obama (as in Michelle, before she married him), then continue reading. We all have heard by now what people are saying about the company he keeps. His pastor of 20 years, etc. You've heard it all, so I won't repeat it. Now we hear about Michelle Obama's thesis when she was at Princeton. I don't take this one very seriously, as people change. However, when one looks at the bigger picture, it's not so pretty. Just what is their deal with race? I'm surprised they have not joined forces with Jesse Jackson, propogating hatred between blacks and whites. How are we going to improve this relationship when you have crap like that going on? I mean, really. In my eyes, a man is judged by his character. I have always said that I do not object or care if my children choose black friends or spouses, as long as they have an honorable character, which is what I want no matter the color. Anyway, another bunny trail....I know. Here is the Snopes.com thing about Michelle Obama and take from it what you will. http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/thesis.asp
Okay, I lied. I have another one for you. This is a video from Illuminati Productions that was produced by a guy named Molotov Mitchell. It's 11 minutes long. It has info on the theory that Obama is not eligible to even run for president due to his suspect citizenship.

Here are some things that I think people need to consider: First--THINK! KNOW! LEARN! There are people who don't even know why the heck they are voting for him. Oh, they are voting because he's black. Heck, I have no problem with that. If Condi Rice or Colin Powell were running, they would have my vote. I have no issues with the color of his skin. It's melanin. It's those of you who want him because he's black. Or those who want him because he's a democrat and that's what you are. Get over yourself and think about who you're voting for. We are not democrats and republicans. We are thinking people. Act like it. Here is my case in point. (a short audio) Harlem Voters: http://www.bpmdeejays.com/upload/hs_sal_in_Harlem_100108.mp3
Then you have the 2nd Amendment issue. As many of you know, I am very much in favor of our rights as citizens. I am also for freedom. I think most of us are, however, I go a step further, anticipating what our current legislators and politicians are trying to push through to keep us from our freedoms. That's why I wanted to vote for Ron Paul. He's a constitutionalist. He believes in abiding by the constitution and not trying to rewrite it as situations arise. I still may vote for him. I don't know. Lots of prayers, that's for sure. He is supporting Chuck Baldwin, who is running under the U.S Tax Payers Party (aka Constitution Party). Mr. Paul believes that only the two main parties will be eligible for president, so he has not veered away from the Republican party, even though his supporters have been trying to get him to run under another party. Anyway, back to the 2nd Amendment thing. Here is what I received and believe to be accurate. This is a pdf file: http://www.wmsa. net/Politics/ open_letter_ to_sportsmen. pdf
As if that weren't enough to do all you can to block this guy's path to the White House, here is another point which is just APPALLING to know and then vote for the schmuck. He is for infanticide. Voted three times against a bill that is supposed to stop the terrible practice of allowing botched abortions (babies born alive) to sit in a soiled linen closet to die, sometimes for hours on end. Abortion itself is horrible, but how someone could do that is just beyond me. This video does not have any thing gross or graphic, but listening to it is definitely disturbing, as it should be. Please pass this along to your Obama-loving friends and family.
And last but certainly not least is his wife, Michelle. If this matters at all to you what goes on the minds of the Obama family, even pre-Obama (as in Michelle, before she married him), then continue reading. We all have heard by now what people are saying about the company he keeps. His pastor of 20 years, etc. You've heard it all, so I won't repeat it.

New Job
So I started this new job in town. Woo hoo! It's close! As in, it's only about 10 minutes away. Usually everwhere we go it's at least a half an hour away.
So I started working at Tractor Supply. Pretty good so far. I like most of the people-a lot. I hear our boss can be cranky once he gets to know you, but we'll see. I'm not doubting them so much as trying not to get to the point where he begins treating me that way. Know what I mean?
Okay, so I know this is really exciting. I'm 38 and back in retail. Oh joy. But it pays the bills. I'm also going to be doing the Pay Per Post thing that Shelly told me all about. I can't wait! It will be nice to make some money by doing what I love to do best - talk! Okay, type. But it's the same thing - if you can type fast enough!
So, back to Tractor Supply. One of the main reasons that I needed to get a job is because we really need to be able to afford our stove pipes for the winter. I do not want to get stuck without heat again. I hear it's supposed to be a nasty one!
So, I get the job for extra money and find out that we do, indeed, get a discount. Yay! 15% That's about $150 off our cost of the pipes and stuff we need to put them up. When I get the money to actually purchase them, that is.
I also clean Kayla's school three days a week. Okay, not the WHOLE school, though some days it feels like it! Just 2 offices, and two classrooms. Lemme tell you, that 1st/2nd grade room can get messy!!! I think they paint their desks with their runny noses. Yeah, it's that gross. I clean all of the desks well. It's no wonder we all get colds once school starts!
I clean the school so that we can get a reduction in her tuition. I think it will take care of about $1400 of it or so. Noice, eh?
As if all that weren't enough to fill my days, I am on 2 volunteer boards (one for homeschooling and one for American Heritage Girls, a Christian Scouting organization). The beginning of the year is always the toughest, because you're just getting everything lined up for the season. I also homeschool my 9th grade son, though we haven't done anything formal this year yet. He just got back from Arizona, spending time with his aunt, uncle and three cousins. They went to Lego Land in California! He had fun and my sis and her husband spoiled him rotten. I'm surprised he wanted to come home.
I'm tired, it's 1:04 after all and my thoughts are going off on bunny trails!
I will spare you all the rest of my brain and go to sleep. Perhaps if I have the chance, I will post again tomorrow. And maybe you'll know what I'm saying. ;-)

Regarding the YouTube vids in the right side bar
Okay kids. I have no clue why the YouTube vids come up as they do. When I set it up, it asked for some names of the subscriptions you have. I gave the Jason Castro ones that I am subscribed to and I do get some of his vids there...but now there is some really weird things about Sarah Palin. I don't recall even mentioning her on this blog until now. Hmmmm. I wonder where that came from??? Perhaps it's just a big hit because of the VP debates last night, which, I think Sarah did a fine job btw. I can't say that I'd vote for McCain just cuz I like her, but she did a fine job. I think Biden is a schmuck. He's hard to listen to at times. Ah well. If only they were all perfect like me, eh? ;-) (that is a joke, for those of you with no sense of humor)

My dog Emma
Since Emma is in the side bar of my blog, I thought it made sense to talk a little about her.
Boy, if there was ever a dog that was loved too much, it would be her! She is such a baby! Like, really. I can hold her and she'll snuggle in your arms like a real baby. Just the right size too--fat!
Emma was given to us by my step sis, Melissa. She has three kids that were a little too rough with Emma and Emma was probably a little too rough with them too. So, they asked if we would take a look at her to see if we would want her. That was on Christmas in 2004.
Emma has the softest fur and sweet smelling head. Really!!! I know--we're nuts. She sleeps with us -- under the covers! (oh, her beagle brother does too). It's a good thing we have a king size bed. Oh, and btw, she's a dachshund mix. We don't know with what she is mixed except with "cuteness", but everyone who meets her loves her. Okay, they intensely like her....we LOVE her!
I always say, in my heaven, there will be at least 10 Emma's running around. ;-)
