~I am CHRISTIAN. Hear me ROAR~

Pepsi's new cans have the picture of the empire state building and the pledge of allegiance. The pledge leaves out 2 little words:

"Under God"

When questioned, Pepsi said they, "Do not wish to offend anyone."

So when we don't buy their product they won't be offended when they don't receive a few little bills of ours that say "In God We Trust".

Oh please let this not be true... This country was MADE so we don't have to worry about our religious beliefs, so we could display our ideas ALL OVER THE PLACE if we wanted to. Now that right has been taken away!!!!! We're supposed to worry about offending someone?!?!!?! IT'S OFFENSIVE that I have to worry about you being Offended over something that is IMPORTANT TO ME!!! IT is MY RIGHT to proclaim my worship of my Father in Heaven!!! I have the right not to feel I have to CENSURE MYSELF for YOU!!!!! Censure YOURSELF< and let me BE ME!!!!! WHATEVER MY BELIEF, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO BE OFFENDED or believe that I even WISH TO OFFEND YOU!!!! WHAT AN EGO YOU MUST HAVE TO THINK YOU ARE BETTER THAN ME!!!!

HYPOCRITES!!!

OR, is it that are you THAT INSECURE!?!!!?!?
You say to profess non-god so I don't OFFEND YOU WITH MY BELIEF???! I AM OFFENDED BY YOURS ONLY BECAUSE YOUR BELIEF IS TAKING MY RIGHT TO PROCLAIM MINE IN EVERY WAY!!!!  WHY ARE YOU OFFENDED anyway!?!?!?!?!? ARE YOU THAT insecure in your belief that my belief will totally over power yours if I simply State it on something so innate as a SODA CAN?!!?!?!? THIS COUNTRY WAS MADE FOR ME TO PROCLAIM MYSELF ANYWHERE!!!!  This country was FORMED AROUND GOD to WORSHIP my GOD in any way I see fit!!! I see fit to proclaim it on my soda can without you being offended about MY BELIEFS!!!!!! I SEE FIT TO PROCLAIM MY BELIEF IN THE PLEDGE THAT BROUGHT YOU THIS FREE COUNTRY IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!! IN the CONSTITUTION that GAVE you a FREE country in THE FIRST PLACE!!!! YOU WOULD NOT BE HERE TO BE OFFENDED IF NOT FOR self proclaiming CHRISTIANS { L I K E   M E !!! } DESIRING TO PROCLAIM THEIR BELIEFS WITHOUT FEELING CENSURED in any way shape or form!!!!!

THIS is the FREE RIGHT you have TAKEN away from me that BLOOD has been spilled for and over! I WANT THAT RIGHT BACK RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

GOD was here FIRST!!! You want an atheist country, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!! Stop changing THIS ONE MADE ESPECIALLY FOR MY  RIGHT TO WORSHIP to MY GOD full of HIS chosen FOLLOWERS!!!!! GET YOUR OWN damned COUNTRY and stop making me feel like I need to censure MY RIGHTFUL BELIEFS for you INSECURE yet EGOTISTICAL little COWARD!!!! (Yes I know the insane contradiction there, BUT YOU ARE THE ONE BEING CONTRADICTORY!!!!)

This country has DONE TOO MUCH ALREADY TO INSURE ME MY RIGHT than for you too take away my right not to worry about YOU BEING OFFENDED BY MY PROCLAIMED BELIEF!!! YOU are the STRANGER HERE you ungodly-demon praying on us god worshiping CHRISTIANS!!!! YOU  Insecure IDIOT LEAVE ME ALONE! I am NOT offended by your belief, only that you are too ignorant and insecure to face me when I proclaim mine other than to say I am wrong and try to make me feel as if I've done something wrong for PROCLAIMING MY BELIEF!!!! I WILL N O T BE INTIMIDATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Because face it, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO TELL ME MY BELIEF IS WRONG or be offended that I have a belief in God WHEN THIS COUNTRY was specifically created FOR MY RIGHT TO PROCLAIM MY WORSHIP TO MY GOD!!!!!

THIS is the reason we became a country in the FIRST place!!!! All that this country was created for is Being taken away by your TYRANNY!!!!!!! UGH!!! YOU MAKE ME SICK!!!!!

I just want what my christian forefathers promised me with their BLOOD. Freedom. Freedom not to feel censured. Freedom to proclaim without anyone trying to tell me I am wrong. Freedom to worship how where or what I may in the country that was created around MY HEAVENLY FATHER in the first place. You have no right to take away my freedom. Stop trying to take away my right to profess my belief with your ungodly raised eyebrows that are only securing your fate in that awful place reserved for those who deny Him and His Love.

I care about you as a person. I value your right to believe your way. I WILL NOT Censure you or make you feel censured in your right to proclaim your belief. I have integrity there. Which is more than I can say to most of you that prefer atheism. The right to choose is sacred, and should not come with addendums or reservations when it comes to proclaiming that that choice.

Stop putting on me what I would never put upon you. Tyranny is something I will fight about. You start with my religious beliefs... then to my proclaiming my beliefs... where will it end... in your desire to control the world? 

Wasn't one Hitler bad enough?

I will fight back and add to that blood spilled by those courageous men if needed. But be forewarned: It will not be mine that is spilled. I will WIN. 

... Because I have that-being-you-wish-me-not-to-reference fully on my side.



May God Bless your immortal soul and lead you to His perfect paths before it is too late.

I'm not an expert.

 

I'm not an expert, but life sure seems to be throwing curveballs at America lately. And she just keeps right on missing them.

It's true I'm not an expert, but I believe the original creators of what's left of our current government knew the difference between right and wrong.

I’m not an expert, but the government in this fine country isn’t quite what it used to be. It certainly does seem different than portrayed to us in our school lessons.

I mean, I’m not an expert, but most civilizations started to decline after 200 years because the people expected more from their government than it was designed to do. I’m not an expert, but I don’t think a person should demand more from a government than what it was established for.

I’m not an expert, but I thought government was solely supposed to govern violence and keep the peace.
I’m not an expert, but people shouldn’t be expecting a government to feed, cloth, and administer healing to them. I’m not an expert, but I thought that wasn’t in the job description when the government first took the job. That just doesn’t seem right.

I mean, I wasn’t there so I don’t really know, but I was taught that people should make a living for themselves, not ask Caesar to pay their bills.

I mean, if I was offered a job with certain duties to uphold, I would expect to ONLY do those duties specified. There is usually no clause that says: “At any time in the future will you be asked to save this corporation from incredible debt that it incurred itself, and also pay for all other employee’s paychecks and housing and food bills and health bills.” I don’t know about you, but there is NO WAY I would sign up for a job like that!

I’m not an expert, but I don’t remember any patriots in the first war against Britain asking for all that, no demanding all that when the government was first created. I mean, I’m not an expert, but I think I remember them doing their OWN businesses to make this a thriving country. I’m no expert, but “The American Way” always meant "THE HARD WORK WAY" and "THE FREEDOM TO WORK THAT HARD" to me. I’m no expert, but I’m pretty sure I learned that as a child, I mean I think so….

I’m not an expert, but shouldn’t different people working in the SAME government TALK to each other? They both look like adults to me. If I were their mommy (Reid and Obama’s), and I’m not an expert, but I’d be putting them BOTH in time-out until they resolved their issues, IN A REAL CORNER, none of this, ‘pout-and-be-about’ stuff, no siree. But I’m not an expert at poli-dick-ing around.

I’m not an expert, but to me a country of FREE PEOPLE does not mean taking away our choices, no matter how much someone else disagrees with them.

I’m not an expert, but if one loves their country, they shouldn’t try to take advantage of its government. I’m no expert, but I thought the saying was “Service rendered”, not “Service Gained”....

I’m not an expert, but I was raised to speak, think, and act for myself. I’m not an expert, but taking these away from me does not give me the proclaimed freedom in our constitution. I’m not an expert, but saying I cannot have a gun is expressly inherent to that freedom to choose to have one. I’m not an expert, but that freedom goes with choice for anything that doesn’t hurt anyone. I’m not an expert, but I was taught what the difference in that was….

I’m not an expert, but when I see children in the public school systems (yes I was raised in one too) I see followers, not leaders. I’m not an expert, but the world seems to work better when we have more of the latter.

I’m not an expert. You cannot take this as if it was from one. I am just me, a citizen of a country that is both fiscally and morally bankrupt.

But again, that’s just my opinion. I’m not an expert after all.

Then again... I do know the difference between right and wrong.

 We all should.

To Dream... vigorously, wholly, and fantastically!

Writing is so much fun. Not so much the typing, my hands can do without that, but what I enjoy the most is the dreaming.

How many people can delve into a world before unknown and live in it as real as if they were a true visitor into an actual preexisting place? A true visionary makes the best sort of story tellers. I hope to rise to such a level as I write. I see the world, now it's time to put it on paper and make the characters seem as real there as they do in my mind's eye.

Experience is the best writer. How then do most people create worlds that don't exist in nature? Experience can come in many forms though. A real dream, a daydream, a nightmare even can bring up the most inviting and awesome experiences. A mind's trained eye can tell you what you should or ought to be experiencing far better than if you just 'make up' a situation. No, it is far better to dream a reality, to participate in it and delve into the underbelly of a dream with the vigor of a ravenous consuming beast.

So I leave for a bit. I am determined to tame that beast and swallow up every tidbit of reality that comes with it. Full founded characters are more than meets the eye in life, why not in dreams as well.  Farewell this world. I shall return when I have the experience of a lifetime to share with you!

GrrrRibbit Haboob!

A publishing house for self publishing has contacted me. I am still not interested in doling out all that money for my books. I am seeking an agent to help me find a real publisher. My books are far too interesting to foot the bill myself.

My hands have gotten worse and worse with the EDS (Ehlers Danlos Syndrome). I wear fingerless gloves ALL the time now, even in 115 degree heat. My lips turn blue as if cold and so do my fingers and toes. Poor circulation? It's laughable for me until they start hurting from the cold. At that point I fish out the handheld heat packs to slip inside my gloves ;D Mmmm toasty! And yes, I actually HAVE used the warmers in 120 degree heat! Nice note, at least my lovely husband has no qualms about warming his wife's lips for her whenever she has need of it. After 11 and a half years of marriage it's nice to see that the romance continues!

My book GrrrRibbit! has become my most publishable story at the moment. Its a middle grade fiction that is very dear to my heart and actually starts in Arizona where I grew up. Haboobs are VERY frequent there and it was fun to write about one as I've experienced them for 22 years; about 3 times each summer at the very LEAST. I do hope to find publication for the book soon ^_^

Home life has improved now that I homeschool my daughters. My youngest can now read! It has been easier for all of us that she also doesn't vie away from reading anymore. She will be the first to say "That sign says:..." etc. It is SO wonderful compared to the shy, teary-eyed child struggling in public school. She especially loves reading MY books! She says they are scary and fun and awesome all at the same time. Ahh hope rewarded ^_^

Soon I hope everyone may be able to give such praises. Here's hoping someone picks me up!

Have a lovely day!

GrrrRibbit Synopsis

Frogs, demons, magic sticks charmed with runes, and a few kids determined to free their friends' dad. GrrrrRibbit is a book for middle graders that will take them to a world very much like this one, but where magic exists and heroes are real. Hopefully the man they are rushing to save actually wants to be saved. Because cuss-word using evil demons can't be real... right? Either way Crystal and Jacob have a whole new respect for their aunt in teaching them to keep their language clean!

The book is finished, and it is waiting to be published. Wish me luck in finding a lovely agent!

Thank you!

NEWS!!!

I seem to have found myself an editor. A whirlwind of ideas followed by a hurricane of questions has wrapped themselves around my mind these last months. She loves fantasy. Is not so much into my genre enjoys romantic goth etc., but believes in ME as a person and says my storyline is not only GREAT but something many people will buy! What better critic can you get!

She has already looked at much of it. She is quite excited. I am hoping that together we will be able to put forth some sort of finished product by Spring or early Summer. Such HOPE! How can I NOT be excited!!!

When she found out I had more than this novel her eyes went round. Aww how I love that look on a person when discussing MY books!

I hope I have news for you soon! Wish my editor and me good luck on our newest adventure together!

I received a call from a prospective editor at a publishing house. All I can say is I'm excited!

I am smart. I will research their company before making any deals. I will discuss everything in fine detail before signing a solid thing. I will also be grinning from ear to ear the whole time in hopes this is what I have finally been looking for! Eek how amazing is this!

Wish me luck as I start the adventure I've been waiting this whole time for!

My friend got her book published. YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY. She did self publishing and it is now being sold on Amazon. I certainly am quite excited for her. The package she found was cheap and the people she worked with did all she wished. How amazing to have a book you wrote published and on your mantle!!! I look forward to the day I can enjoy similar joy.

I do know that self publishing is expensive. I hope to find an agent and publishing house willing to front all the costs for a book i write that they all know will be an instant hit. Soon MY books will adorn mantlepieces as well as my friend's. I look forward to that day with a greedy excitement!

Wish me luck!

Blurb

Dark choices spawn pathways not always seen by the transgressor. Heroes that would not have needed to know their capabilities are suddenly thrust into circumstances to prove themselves.

Apparently it’s this nonhuman’s turn.

I’d run away screaming if not for the ‘perk’ I’ve stolen for myself on the way to heroism. He is the only reason I would contemplate this and I won’t let them take him away. I couldn’t do this without him.

Watch out worlds, Julia Fairchild is coming...

... whether I'm ready or not.
