Ash Wednesday, 40 Days for Life, NPR, & Light Bulbs

The Lenten season is off! I don't know what I am going to give up. I think Mom should give up the ol' man for Lent.

40 Days for Life has begun. Please keep this effort in your prayers! Around here, there are about 40 Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox churches keeping vigil at the Planned Parenthood everyday. What a great way to share faith/hope and put aside our differences!!!!!

Did you get to hear the lunatic ravings of .... NOT CHARLIE SHEEN, but of Mr. Schiller from NPR? He had a whole bunch of nice things to say about Jews and Christians in this video (sarcasm...). Also, if you have any conservative values you are stupid and unable to have any bit of intelligence. My summary of what he said is really nice compared to what he said about Americans so check it out. After the video, you probably will be really angry. If that is the case, please sign the online petition to stop all funding to NPR.

A s you may have heard, light bulbs are being banned in the U.S. We are not happy in this household b/c the new, eco-friendly bulbs (which contain mercury...) lack brightness. Mom ends up turning on three lights instead of one b/c we can't see! She went to Lowe's to stock up in the fall when she got whiff of the government wanting to get rid of them. Would you like to see Edison hang around a little longer and tell government to butt out of your light business? Sign this petition hosted by Freedom Action!
