Presidential Prayer for Healing

Rushing for an appointment with the President and some other officials, I dropped Megyn in her car seat down a huge flight of steps. I watched in horror as she bounced with excessive force down each concrete step. The car seat flipped over and slammed her head before coming to a stop when it whammed into Kara Plank who was carrying Sadie in HER car seat.

By the time I caught up to Megyn, she was listless and had a nasty gash on her forehead that was bleeding profusely. I was distraught to say the least.

Suddenly, I found myself whisked to a stage in front of a live audience where I was seated with Michelle Obama and Joe Biden. Tony was across the stage from me visiting with Mr. President and some other important looking men. We were enjoying snacks, namely Doritos and Wheat Thins (which Joe Biden had never had before and wondered if they were good. Michelle concurred that they were, though it had been a long time since she'd had them!)

And then, I heard a voice. It was that of Mr. Obama, who was using a lapel mic to pray for Megyn's healing. Just as he was about to pray "in Jesus name", the mic crackled and cut out. There was an immense amount of commotion as we started to verbally speculate whether this was a convenient "out" when I woke up and found out it was all just a dream.

Finally something...

...worth blogging about!

Janae was supposed to write to a senator or state representative for a Social Studies project. She was to ask them which president they most admired. Some of you will remember this project from PACE 1053 - some of you have it to look forward to.

In all my years of teaching, I can't think of any students who received a response back. So when Tony was looking up the information, we found out we could email them. Wheels started turning in my head and I thought maybe her chances of a response to an email would be greater than snail mail. So we tried that avenue.

Just a few minutes ago, I checked my email for the millionth time today and lo and behold, something from Senator Lugar. Woohoo! I am sooo excited...but now it means she actually has to write a report on that president.

We will definitely be printing out that email and saving it in her special mementos box.

Politics and God

Fellow blogger, Julie Gurney, has a post on her blog that really hit home with me. It's all I want to say but didn't have the right words. Click here to see what she had to say. I really like her word picture.

Our Favorite Candidate...


...is obvious after you read this: overheard by a certain 10 yr old while her dad and I watched the Iowa straw poll results on Fox News Online...

(to the tune of Jingle Bells)


"Jingle Bells, Clinton smells 30 miles away;
Huckabee we want for me and you and U-S-A!"
