Things sure are different with Pete home. I'm out of the house MUCH more than usual & many of the things I used to do each day aren't getting done anymore because I'm simply not here enough. I'm not complaining, I'm just saying it's very different & will take a lot of getting used to. Yesterday I chatted with Josh for a bit, watched a movie & cross stitched, went grocery shopping with Pete, still haven't worked on my latch hook or needlepoint this week, & then did the normal nighttime routine. This morning I started my beading project (posted the pic on facebook) & stopped because I ran out of white beads. I need about 1,200 more to complete this project. While we're out running all over the county today, I'm going to stop in at Michael's & Wal*mart. Tried to blog here before leaving & get MOST of it done, but ended up talking city business & talking to Kyle also. Pete's 49th birthday tomorrow & Dallas Stars game (won't be home again, as usual). Josh & Kyle NEED to do chores every day without me holding their hands like they're 5. I'm just not available to do that anymore. They need to grow up & I mean NOW. They're 16 & 22 for God's sake. I WILL turn off the Internet & confiscate the laptop if they don't get it together & take care of their home & pets.

Go easy on oil changes. Because oil today is so much better than it was 25 years ago, the old guideline to change it every 3,000 miles no longer applies. Instead, follow your owner's manual & your car's oil life monitoring system. A safe bet today is 7,800 miles or longer. (More savings will come from avoiding the add-ons many shops suggest.) Potential savings: $115/yr.
Have you seen the rock star, Prince? Strange. Strange person. I went to see that picture Purple Rain. I didn't know it was a movie. I thought Purple Rain was about Reagan's environmental policies. -Johnny Carson 1984

President George W. Bush announces plan for "faith-based initiatives" (2002):
On this day in 2002, President George W. Bush announces his plan to federally fund faith-based initiatives.
Bush
started his day at a National Prayer Breakfast held in the ballroom of
the Washington Hilton Hotel, where he explained the basic philosophy
behind his plan. In service to others, he said, we find deep human
fulfillment. And as acts of service are multiplied, our nation becomes a
more welcoming place. Later that day, he announced the new policy from
the Oval Office with leading members of Congress and the press in
attendance. Bush proposed that faith-based organizations should assume a
greater role in providing social-service programs without breaching the
separation of church and state. He suggested that government should not
discriminate against faith-based programs, but it should encourage them
to flourish. Under his plan, religious groups could receive federal
funding to implement programs usually carried out by secular non-profit
organizations.
A devout Christian, Bush's plan applied to a multitude of
denominations in order to, in his words, unleash these fantastic armies
of compassion which exist all across the country. The new policy
received bipartisan support, including kudos from leading Senators
Joseph Liebermann and Rick Santorum. The senators agreed with Bush that
individuals and couples should receive tax breaks for donations to
faith-based charities as well as secular organizations.
Bush's plan to federally fund faith-based programs upset die-hard
secularists and debate over the efficacy and constitutionality of the
program continued into his second term. While a study by the PEW Forum
on Religion and Public Life revealed that approximately 70 percent of
Americans prefer that government agencies provide the majority of aid to
the needy and poor, the same number supported the right of church
organizations to apply for federal funding for their social programs.
Principles aren't practices. A practice is a specific activity or action. A practice that works in 1 circumstance won't necessarily work in another.
