Pizza grease

I am so proud of my kids when they make healthy choices like grabbing an apple or banana for a snack. Sometimes I am also proud of them when they imitate my husband and I as we make healthy decisions in a not so healthy situation.

Last week we took the boys to Godfather's Pizza because my son had a free kids pizza from a perfect attendance school certificate. I looked over at my oldest and youngest and they were tabbing their pizza with napkins just like my husband and I. The cool thing is that I did not make my boys do it, they just did it because my husband and I were doing it. ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS!!!

Blotting pizza makes it healthier: True.
People who blot their pizza always look neurotic. But, they are saving themselves from consuming extra fat and calories. By blotting the grease on top of a pizza with a napkin, you'll eliminate at least 4.5 grams of fat per slice.

I like Mike

I was reading in Exodus today about the plagues that God struck upon the Egyptians because Pharoah kept God's people (the Isrealites) in slavery. All I could think about was how stupid and stubburn the Pharoah was. Even when his city officials asked him how long he was going to allow this to effect their country, Pharoah was still hard- hearted to God's commands to "let my people go".

Today we have such a great blessing that we can, as a nation, vote our leaders into office. The Egyptians didn't!!! In the time of Moses, the Egyptians had to live through frog plagues, locus plagues, water to blood (the Nile River to be exact), boils, death of the first born son...All of this because of a leader whose heart was heart toward the One true God.

I have heard many people since Super Tuesday say, "no, I didn't vote-it is only the primaries." Well, to them I say, " would you rather live in ancient Egypt?"

Unlike the Pharoah, Mike Huckabee's heart is definately not hardened toward God. He openly speaks of his Christian convictions, morals, and values. His motto is "faith, family, freedom". I heard Jay Leno say that "it would take a miracle from God for Huckabee to win". Let assure you Jay, God is very capable!!! Although the media seems to ignore Huckabee, and focus on McCain, I believe that he can win this Presidential race. Please join me in supporting him through prayer, finacial contributions, and simply spreading the word. Here is his website: www.MikeHuckabee.com Check him out for yourself.
