I thought this post says it all. Thank you Pat Robertson for pointing out what Christians are not known for. Way to represent. Not to worry though, I'll pray for you to understand what you said. It's sad to think that so many people follow you and what you represent. Let us only hope they thought for themselves this time. This was found on Elizabeth Spiers Blog. Thanks girl for the post.

Dear Pat Robertson,

I know that you know that all press is good press, so I appreciate the shout-out. And you make God look like a big mean bully who kicks people when they are down, so I'm all over that action. But when you say that Haiti has made a pact with me, it is totally humiliating. I may be evil incarnate, but I'm no welcher. The way you put it, making a deal with me leaves folks desperate and impoverished.

Sure, in the afterlife, but when I strike bargains with people, they first get something here on earth -- glamour, beauty, talent, wealth, fame, glory, a golden fiddle. Those Haitians have nothing, and I mean nothing. And that was before the earthquake. Haven't you seen "Crossroads"? Or "Damn Yankees"? If I had a thing going with Haiti, there'd be lots of banks, skyscrapers, SUVs, exclusive night clubs, Botox -- that kind of thing. An 80 percent poverty rate is so not my style. Nothing against it -- I'm just saying: Not how I roll.

You're doing great work, Pat, and I don't want to clip your wings -- just, come on, you're making me look bad. And not the good kind of bad. Keep blaming God. That's working. But leave me out of it, please. Or we may need to renegotiate your own contract.

Best, Satan

As the kids would say, Lily Coyle FTW.

So my husband and I went to the Dave Ramsay school of "I would like to retire someday" last night. I must say I was a little apprehensive about the whole deal. Of coarse I would like to get some debt paid off but aren't these other people in our class going to look at me in a different way? I didn't feel that way at all. These people were just like me in so many ways. I didn't really grow up learning about money and how to manage it because both of my parents had great jobs and we really didn't have to "budget" or worry about money. My reality check happened when I moved to College Station, TX to pursue my education. I got my own checking account and they gave me these little pieces of paper that basically said I had money in the bank until I ran out of them.... or so I thought. NOT SO! Turns out... you owe alot more money when you have none. Interesting concept but it is what it is. A vicious cycle that tons of people get caught up in every day. On top of that, I took out some student loans in 2001 that I am STILL paying off. I found a company to lower the interest rates on them and consolidate them as well. (Sigh...giggle) There is also a clause in the contract that says if, God forbid, something happen to me...... it is written off as a loss to the company and my surviving family can forget about my debt. I guess thats reassuring right?

Long story short: There are oodles of people that have mad money mistakes. It happens to great Godly fearing Christians and the Scroodges of the world too. One of my favorite quotes is, "You think no one cares about you....... try not paying your bills." SO TRUE!!! I've tried that one too! The only one I got lucky with was World Communication that went bankrupt. That is the only bill I have not had to pay off from College Station. (don't count on this because it happens once in a lifetime people!)

People associate Debt with Shame... I think this is so sad. People are just trying to survive these days and barely doing so they find themselves stuck or trapped. Luckily I found someone who knows way more about money than I did. I married him. LOL That's not why though... truly a bonus.

As I find myself starting the program I can't help but be a little bit excited. I really think this will work for our family and help us teach Corley the skills she needs to survive in the financial world. I will keep you posted on the classes and how they have effect our financial "freedom".

Peace B With U.

I would like to take a minute to let all of my three followers know about the Embers Steakhouse's new menu! There are so many great deals from Surf and Turf all the way to Children's dinner.

OK, So I'm new to the whole blogging thing but I will give it a try. I always have random thoughts to offer people and what better to way than on the internet! I already feel sorry for the people who are going to read this.

For starters.... I can't spell. I will try and use spell check to the best of my ability but just hang in there with me.

I have been married to a wonderful, caring man for a little over 5 years. Jon puts up with my crazy thoughts on a daily basis, poor thing. He keeps me remotely close earth. I am a laid back, easy going mom of a little girl, Corley. Yes, I know it's a boys name... not for my baby girl though. We named her after a little farming community South of Stratford, OK. Now there is just a cemetery there but it has some really neat history that I could go on about but I'm not really enough into history to blog about it.

My interests range from playing the cello to recently learning how to crochet. Crazy for my age I know but for some reason my curiosity carried me to yarn and a stick with a hook at the end of it. I will not make this a blog of crocheting, I promise. Ha. Oh that would be somewhat of a death wish for the blog! Continuing about myself..... I work in the Food and Beverage department at a local casino and love it. I have met so many people that I love like a second family and would do almost anything for. Almost anything... LOL. I have two brothers: Clint and Colt. Clint is serving in the United States Army and Colt is a baseball and football playin fool! Both are very awesome and I love them dearly. I also have three sisters: Amy, Tiffany, and Jane. Amy is crazy and I love her just for that simple fact. I never know what is going to come out of her mouth but it will never be sugar coated. Tiffany is actually my "sister in love". She is married to my brother Clint. They have 3 boys and a little girl that Tiffany takes care of while Clint is overseas. I don't know how she does it because I find it hard to chase one child around, much less...4! Huge props Tiff!

Alright that is enough for today..... have fun and exciting things to do such as laundry and dinner. Ok. I'm no super woman but it's not going to do itself!

God Bless and stay warm!!!
