I am speechless...

Today I received a loving e-mail from one of my sisters reminding me to really check what I write on here. At first I was so embarrassed because I really thought I did my homework. However, I can't ask someone else to recheck their stuff and stand corrected if I won't. So, I went back and did some more research...and, now I'm really frustrated! 

Here is what I found: Barack Obama did NOT sponsor OR co-sponsor the bill on sex education for grades k-12. Obama voted for the legislation in committee on a party-line vote. The bill never even made it to Senate. Okay...I stand corrected. 

Here is what I learned: 1) I read my information off of a website I thought was fair and accurate. However, I'm not sure there is such a thing right now. 2) Honest, I was angry about what I understood to be true and didn't continue my search for truth. 3) I am going to try not to be so HOT!!

So, thank you, Becki for helping me calm down enough to check out the truth again. I think the biggest thing I have learned from Becki is NOT to believe what you read/hear. She said that the best way to check the truth is to check the government webpages themselves. 

Thank you for hearing me continue my search for truth. I do want to make myself clear that my disappointment lies with those that believe that McCain cannot win on truth, or people that have to smear either candidate with lies. I know the value of the truth and I intend to keep searching for it...

For now, I am not going to delete my previous post. I think it is an important reminder to me just how important it is to SEARCH and DIG for the truth. It's so unfortunate that it's not there for the taking.

I caught you!

This last week we added another amazing blessing to our family! Miss Sadie Shockley came blitzing into our family last week and we had the best time at the Shockley home celebrating her arrival!! What I was most blessed with was the pictures I caught of our family loving on Sadie!

This one is my favorite! I caught a picture with Max, Lauren & Ann Marie all holding Sadie...

Sadie, you are one loved little girl! Lately I have seen teenagers and wondered about my girls, nieces and nephews and the men and women they will become. Although I cannot begin to imagine what exciting futures hold for each one, I can reassure them that they are growing up in a family that will give each of them unconditional love!
