Separation

It seems as if all things these days are focused on the upcoming elections. What is very sad to me is MOST people have NO idea what their "candidate" represents, believes or his voting record. They are simply voting by emotion, and in some cases, ethnicity. Yep. I said it. The Bible is VERY clear on this. We MUST vote based on the word of our Lord and what HE thinks. I beseech you all to fast, pray and seek the Lord for your decision. Keep in mind just because a candidate says they want to end the war does NOT mean it will happen. No one single person has that much power. It must be voted on by both the house and Senate and then it will take a period of time before it will be implemented. Speak to a member or former member of the military and ask what they think of the two candidates. I believe you will have a different perspective. I guess that is part on my "ranting" as I have been accused of doing on this blog. Personally I think of it as righteous indignation. I do have scripture that backs me up.
You know the Bible DOES tell us to separate ourselves from the world, not be lukewarm and to be a peculiar people.
I WANT to hear WELL DONE! Not just enter in.
Well, I tried something a little different and actually frugal. I made my own dishwashing detergent. I have tried ECOS, Seventh Generation, Method, BioKleen and just about every store brand with and without poison.   My conclusion.......... They all STINK. Actually my homemade with some vinegar in the rinse aid dispenser work the best. My sweet friend from Germantown Home-school classes told me she uses white vinegar as a rinse in her laundry and how great it was. So I tried that and it was great so I tried it in the dishwasher. Great! And I also read an article by a person who works at the CDC and she stated by spraying peroxide and vinegar alternately actually kills more germs that using bleach. So guess what? I have the gallon size vinegar and is is sooooooooo cheap.
Well, tomorrow is the devils day/night so we are going to go out to eat & hopefully avoid the trick or treaters, most anyway, in our neighborhood. We will have our own fun and I will annoint the house in the morning and pray for the Lord's protection and mercies for another year.
I gotta run now- I need to buy Erin her winter coat on line and check out the skirt I just dyed. Making old things new. Love you all!
Oh, and I am still working on the information about courtship- Big Daddy is soooooo down with that concept. He is awesome! The Lord knew who to send me!
