Wow. The North Koreans say they’re going to get us. I’m a cowering in fear at their display of military prowess in this video.

Great News! Parents in Portland went to the Portland school board meeting and protested the presence of Planned Parenthood in their schools! The same thing is happening there. They had a great turnout. You can read about it here: http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2012/12/teenage_pregnancy_prevention_p.html
Let’s keep up the momentum in Salem! We had about ninety people at last month’s meeting. Let’s get a hundred and fifty to this month’s meeting to continue our efforts to get Planned Parenthood out of our schools! The school board meeting is on Tuesday, December 11 at 6 PM. It’s located at 2575 Commercial Street SE, Salem, OR 97302. You’ll be glad you went. Your friends will be glad you got them to go too.
I was drinking my morning coffee and viewing a photo essay on the CNN website about South Sudan.

Their extreme poverty and lack of infrastructure is affecting them in the wake of their war of independence from Sudan. The photos show victims of famine and disease, with a 13 year old being buried, and malnourished children being examined by medical personnel. But I kept getting pop up ads. I don’t usually read them, but I couldn’t help but notice one was for women’s shoes that could probably feed a family for a month or more. Then the next one was an ad for Subway sandwiches that you had to close before continuing on to the picture. And the picture was of malnourished children. That’s just so sick and wrong.
Awesome video from a firearms supply and accessory company!
As I lay here sick in bed, I realize this is the first time I’ve had time to post something here in quite a while. Between all of the things I need to do every day, there just hasn’t been time. And this brings me to one of the benefits of homeschooling: You’re not exposed to all of the annoying little viruses that float around. We have stopped homeschooling this year, and sent the kids to public school. Now the kids are bringing home all of the viruses they were never exposed to. This is our third bout of illness since school started. This one is nasty. My wife called and said they were sick. I could tell from the sound of her voice, that they were REALLY sick, so I came home early to take care of them. It was a nasty viral gastroenteritis. Vomiting and diarrhea. As is usually the case, I was the last one to get it. Even though I wore a mask and washed my hands frequently, it didn’t stop it. One by one, they dropped, and then I dropped.
When the zombie plague comes and our civilization is wiped out, the homeschoolers will survive. They’ll be at home doing their school work, and be completely insulated from the virus. Dad will leave for work one day, and notice that there are zombies, but he needs his paycheck so he’ll keep working at his desk. He’ll loot the gun store on the way home, and blast his way back into the house.
“How was your day honey?”
“It was nice. I got a lot of work done because the phones weren’t ringing today. I had to shoot some zombies in the front yard. The kids need to remember to close the front gate”
“They weren’t out in the front yard today. Are you sure you closed it when you left? I’ll check next time. Can you help Timmy with his math?”
“Sure.”
And so it will go until all that remains of civilization are a bunch of homeschoolers.
Last week I went out to dinner with my wife. As we were deciding where to go out for dinner, I suggested an italian restaurant we had been to about a year ago. I had a really good memory of the place. But then my wife reminded me that neither of us were really satisfied with our food. It really wasn’t very good italian food. But I wanted to go there again. I think the reason I like the place was because I was there with my wife. She makes even eat at a restaurant a good place to be simply because she is there with me.

It appears communist authorities have compelled villagers in Vietnam to take the tabernacle, crucifix, and Marian imagery out of their church, and put up pictures of Ho Chi Minh. The story also states:
On the following day, authorities dismantled the bell of the chapel after local Catholics refused to do it. The bell was also taken to the lay leader’s house.
A lay leader said authorities told parishioners that the building was to be used “for village activities, not for worship.”
I can only assume the Obama administration is very envious of the Vietnamese authorities.
