"An heritage of the LORD"

I haven't written in...well since Liberty was born, and that was two weeks ago!
I can't believe today Liberty is 2 weeks old. My! How time flys! My mom says the newborn stage doesn't last long, and boy is she right! But then, she always is.
Liberty is getting chubbier and chubbier! I still can't get over her! God truly has given us a miracle - a wonderful one at that! Babies are a great gift from the LORD. "Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is His reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate." (Psalm 127:3,4&5)
How wonderful God is to give us the miracles of children so we might populate the earth, as He commanded Adam and Eve in the beginning.

A day to always be remebered...

On August the 21st, 2009, at 8:47, something extraordinary happened. Liberty Joanne Brown was born, after waiting 9 months and 8 days to come out! Isn't God good? All we have to do is be patient, and wait on Him. He will make His will and plans come to pass in His time, not ours.

When Liberty was born she was 10 lbs 2 ozs, and 20 and a half in. long. A big baby! She has been the biggest in our family so far. She is the most adorable little thing too! The chubbiest cheeks, the bluest eyes, and the sweetest little dimple in her cheek. She could capture any ones heart, and that is what she has done to all of us, her family. She will never lack for attention. Already we have taken lots & lots of pics! Here are some of them...

As sweet as can be!

Government schools are a mess!

How many kids' lives have been ruined because of the school system? A lot more than you can count. The reason: Because the government has its hands in the educational system. But you know what? They have no right whatsoever. Did you hear me? NONE WHATSOEVER! People pay hundreds of dollars in taxes to the government, the government then uses billions of that money to pay teachers in public schools, pay for buildings, repairs, etc. Then because they supply all the money, they also supply the literature, and everything that will go into the kids' heads. In other words, the government controls the kids. How scary is that? The kids are "brainwashed". However, the kids have no choice--but the parents do. Whatever they learn in school will shape them into whatever kind of men and women they will be.
Also, going to church for an hour a week will not "overrule" whatever they learn in school for 8 hours. No way, whatsoever can that ever happen.

Parents are needed to take a stand in today's world. We need people who will say "NO!" to the government, and "YES!" to God.

Right now, the government has control of the kids in America. They have them 5 days a week for about 8 hours a day. Talk about major control. Nevertheless, that could be changed, if we would take a stand. The government doesn't even have any business in the educational system! The States should individually decide what is right, leastways according to the Bible, what God has commanded, and that is to raise godly children "in the nurture and admonition of the LORD."

I am so thankful I have parents who have taken a stand, and therefore, my life, and the lives of my siblings, will not be ruined by the government in "their" schools, and "their" curriculum. (I could go into their "curriculum, but that is another subject.) I have been homeschooled all my life and I can truly say, "Homeschooled and PROUD OF IT!".

The kids in America are turning out to be wicked, rebellious "teenagers" and yet everybody wonders why. I can tell you the reason--it's because, instead of letting God control them, the government controls them and the kids' lives are shaped by people who have no business shaping them. We are in a mess. After God, the Bible, prayer, and the Ten Commandments were kicked out of schools, everything in the school system started declining...declining...until we are where we are today.

The schools only teach evolution. They don't even give the kids the "other side of the story." But really, there is only one Story, the true story of special creation and Jesus Christ's redemptive work on the cross. So they aren't even giving a true story, they are giving a lie! A big fat lie that has gone on since the beginning of time--that man is his "own god", God isn't in control, and man can do whatever he wants. People believe it to because man is "desperately wicked" and "righteous in his own eyes." Man doesn't want an Authority above him; he himself wants to be his own master. Oh what fools we human beings are! I can truly say that because as it says, "the fool hath said in his heart, there is no God." (Psalm 14:1)

We need to let God have full control. After all, He gave man a little bit of His power, though not all. Therefore, we need to stop letting Washington "bully" us around. They don't have full control, only God does. Let us unite and take a stand. A stand for what is right.

Homemade cookies!



Last night I made some chocolate oatmeal cookies. I love cooking, especially baking goodies! I've posted a picture as well, but they aren't hardly anything to boast about. The first two batches turned out to be a mess. They were all crumbly. So I added a little bit of flour to the others, then they turned out pretty well. They were good, even if I do say so myself! I enjoy doing little things like that. Baking goodies for the family, cooking the meals, etc. With Mom 9 months pregnant and 6 days over Grace and I have been doing a lot more of the cooking, and we are gaining more experience! We are really enjoying it!
