Link to Randy Alcorn's blog about "Why I’m Voting for 98% Pro-life John McCain rather than 100% Pro-legal-abortion Barack Obama " Very well written.
Also a link to listen to Team Sarah (Palin) Million Woman Town Hall they had Sat 10/25/08.
I just want to encourage everyone to NOT listen to the polls and the media that make it sound like the Presidential Election is already decided. That is NOT true!
Anyway i hope this helps

You can download it also )is here and you get a chance it is so worth your time. I needed the reminder. Gratefully, Libby

a beautiful quote
“A lesson came to me as a parable when I was first ill. I saw that our battle was not in the circumstances but in our attitude towards them. It is as if we stand at an elevator panel within ourselves. We have the choice of pushing the down button of self pity, bitterness and resentment, three separate thoughts that can bind themselves together. Or we can push the up button and just draw closer to God because of the extremity of the problem.” by Laurel Lee Thaler Link is to her biography.

Mourning into Dancing
"You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; You have loosed my sackcloth and girded me with gladness, that my soul may sing praise to You and not be silent O LORD my God, I will give thanks to You forever."
This is Esther. Yes, she is as adorable as she looks. She was recently adopted by some friends of mine in the States from Africa. Their hearts are filled with joy over her arrival and addition to their family. However, 5 years ago their and their older son's hearts were crushed with grief as they buried their 16 month old son and baby brother , who died awaiting a heart transplant.Such pain! Such heartache! So many questions. Yet,through that terribly hard time , so many were touched by their son's life and death. People came to believe Jesus died for them and today they will tell you that God is good and through it all God has been faithful to them. Today they will even tell you God had a plan all along. Today you might even find them dancing! Thank You Lord

If you have ever wondered what does the Bible say is the way to God listen or if you know someone who is seeking God and might want to listen to a 6 minute presentation,send them the link. Hey what can they lose by listening for 6 minutes and it may just change their life! Libby

I joined an online book club!
This is new for me and something I have always wanted to do- discuss a book I was reading with someone. We are having it message board style on her blog. I had never heard of this book before but I met the woman leading the discussion through Shelfari cuz when you add books to your "shelf" they show you others who have the same book on theirs so i went to her shelf and looked and loved many books she had so I felt safe with the book even though I had never heard of it before. I am loving this book. He is an amazing writer Leif Enger. Anyway just had to share. If you want to take a look at our "discussions" or join in follow link

Preparing my heart for Easter
Hi, I wanted to pass this link on to Holy Week or Easter Week devotionals from my Niece's Church in Salem Ore-Salem Alliance Church. I don't know about you but I always want celebrations of Jesus' birth and Resurrection to be extra special but it seems like busy-ness crowds in sucking the life out of the celebrations so when she sent me this link I just had to pass it on in case,like me,you need it desperately ! May the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus be filled with meaning and LIFE! Because of Him, Libby

My "Bookshelf"
I think I am liking the bookshelf but may need to make it smaller. The reason I like it is that I get 99% of my books from the library and now I can have a "Shelf" for them but don't have to own them. I'd love to hear of some of your favorites . Libby

Meditation that blessed me
I just had to post this. Below is the Meditation at the beginning of this week’s lesson of the Women’s Bible Study I am able to attend. It blessed me so much I thought I would pass it on in case it would bless someone else. Background for me reading it is Molly dog had surgery on her foot yesterday and I found out for 7-10 days I (or someone) have to be with her almost constantly cuz she has to be taken out to the bathroom after a bootie is put on her foot to keep it dry and the bootie can only be on 5-10 min max and she has to wear a big collar thingy so she can’t get at her foot and last night she could only sleep if I was laying right next to her. I felt like the mother of a 40+ lb newborn / toddler that needed her Mommy and needed taken out every one to two hours. I share all that to show you my lovely attitude of looking forward to a week of this ( I know I’m a wimp) and not being able to do the things I do and then I read the attached Meditation!!! here goes :
Meditation ( from ‘Out of Solitude’ by Henri J. Nouwen)
“A few years ago I me an old professor at the University of Notre Dame, Looking back on his long life of teaching, he said with a funny wrinkle in his eyes ; ’I have always been complaining that my work was constantly interrupted, until I slowly discovered that my interruptions were my work.’
“That is the great conversion in our life: to recognize and believe that the many unexpected events are not just disturbing interruptions of our projects, but the way in which God molds our hearts and prepares us for His return. Our great temptations are boredom and bitterness. When our good plans are interrupted by poor weather, our well-organized careers by illness or bad luck , our peace of mind by inner turmoil, our hope by a constant changing of the guards, and our desire for immortality by real death, we are tempted to give in to a paralyzing boredom or to strike back in destructive bitterness. But when we believe that patience can make our expectations grow, then ‘fate’ can be converted into a vocation, wounds into a call for deeper understanding, and sadness into a birthplace for joy. “
Does God know just what we need or what?

Saving money on groceries
I just found a new blog that a friend of mine that I had lost touch with is doing called "Shop, Eat. Live.". What she does each week is go throught the grocery ads of the local Portland area stores and lets you know what she thinks the great deals are, the ok deals and the notably BAD deals are. She does it for several stores including Thriftway , Albertson's , Fred Meyers ,Safeway and a few others. Check it out!

Soda Pop or Water?
They say drinking water is good for you. Some say 8-10 glasses a day. Some say half your body weight in ounces a day( can one drink that much??!) but when I used to drink a lot of soda pop water just tasted blah,boring even yucky. So what was I to do? I had to purposely drink water even when it wasn't pleasant and to be able to drink water I had to drink less pop. Something happened over time...now I LIKE even PREFER water over pop. In fact pop doesn't taste very good to me now. That reminds me my walk with the Lord. If I've been spending lots of time watching tv and movies even great fiction I get this taste for it and want it more and more and more and then when I do spend time in the Word it can seem blah and boring. I've redeveloped my taste for "soda pop" instead of "Water". Refreshing life giving water . So once again I need to purposefully drink water even when the taste for it isn't there temporarily. That's what's been going on with me lately and slowly my taste for cool ,clean refreshing water is returning Ahhh. Pray for me. Oh and spent the time I was cleaning the kitchen and bathroom today catching up listening to my Bible after I'd committed to listening to it this year and was behind like 8 or 9 days and it's only the 14th! Jonathon reminded me of it this weekend just by his mentioning that he'd been listening to his while he walked on his treadmill. Thanks bro- do we need each other or what!

Happy New Year!
2008- Can you believe it? Here's a Christmas picture with my family at my Sissy's house. My twin sister, her husband and kids, my Mom and hubby.
May this year be filled with eternal things. Things that last. That we will be glad of when we're 80. That will receive a "Well Done" when we stand before the King of Kings.
In case anyone is interested and you want to listen to the Bible through in a year and you have itunes you can subscribe to a podcast of it called 1-Year Bible On Radio Podcast-there are others also- (detailed instructions-open up iTunes then click on "iTunes store". Then up in the right hand corner there is a search box. Type in "1-Year Bible On Radio Podcast". When it comes up you can click on "Subscribe" and it will download them into the "Podcast" area of the iTunes program right under where you click to see your music. After that you can listen to it on the computer or download to your iPod. High speed connection recommended ). to read online here is a link to have the Scripture email to you daily- you choose the version . It's free like all I list but you do have to register. Another site to get a 12 month plan or read online is this one.
I know there are many other sites and plans ranging from the whole bible in three year to Bible in 90 days to just NT or overviews etc. Just do an Internet search for "Bible Reading Plans".
