It is Summer, finally!
Sun, fun, food, friends and kids' birthday parties! ahhhh!
They are expensive to throw, during a prime nap time and presents are hard to pick out. What do you get a child that has everything or close to it? When do you show up? Early? Late? Right on time?
Looking back on my childhood birthday parties, I remember having a great time, but now that it costs me money...ahhhh! I need to pray and change my attitude about the whole situation for sure!
What are your thoughts on the subject?

Fat-Free Sundays?
I love Sundaes and I love Sundays....especially a sundae on Sunday!
I like to tease people on Sundays by telling them every restaurant has fat-free sundays...a little play on words never hurt anyone?
What would you say would be the healthiest and tastiest treat on a Sunday evening in the summertime?
Definitely a fat-free Sundae!

AMERICA it's your right, privelege and DUTY!
First Amendment
I am surprised that I haven't heard this argument yet.
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
The government, like any organization or community is made up of people. The United States Government is made up by the people of the United States, for the people of the United States. Those people represent different religious thought, practices and styles under many different dieties. The government is clearly not allowed to make any law respecting an establishment of religion, but what does that mean?
The government is not allowed to establish a national religion that all people must participate and support with taxes. The government cannot make any law that respects a particular established religion.
What does it not mean?
The government made of people and representing people can honor the people and their religion by allowing the people that they represent to fly their flags, read their bibles or holy books, and freely express their religious practices in public and private so long as their practices do not contradict other laws already established.
In King, NC the local city government as asked by 1 citizen to remove a Christian flag from the city park. Under threat of a lawsuit that the city can not afford, they removed the flag. Under protest from the community, the city said that if the community wanted to post their own flag and physically stand by it then they could do so. So, the community did for over 3 weeks someone stood by a community-posted Christian flag both day and night!
Why couldn't the King city council leave the flag flying over their city park? There is absolutely no reason they couldn't. The city council by allowing the Christian flag to be flown did not make a law respecting an establishment of religion, they were only honoring the Christian community that they represent. If the 1 community memeber, a war veteran, wanted to have a religious flag or symbol posted at the city park to honor his religion, then he could have simply asked for it. He instead asked that another persons or in this case another community's religion not be honored.
Seems rude and intolerant to me. Our own President, Barak Obama even honors other religions than his own (seemingly more than his stated own) such as Islam. I believe that we should all honor as the constitution does all religions and therefore allow the people of communities and states and even the nation be allowed to be honored by their representative government.
What do you think?
