I never really intended to abandon this blog but I kind of have haven’t I!  :)    There have been a few times recently that I’ve thought about it and thought I really needed to get back to it.  I think I’m going to try again.  We’ll see what happens… I do kind of miss it! I thought about starting a new one – something completely different than this one – I’m still not sure if I will or not but the desire to be on here is coming back I think. :)   Maybe I’ll just put a new twist on this one.

I’m surprised to find that there are still people coming here everyday.  Not many mind you but some!  haha!  So, thanks to those of you who are still visiting!  I’m going to try to make it worth your while again. :)

It’s been awhile

Posted by: momlovesbeingathome | Comments (2)

It’s actually been quite awhile!  I just haven’t really felt like getting on here and writing anything lately.  We’ve been really busy with a lot of things plus there have been some difficult things going on in my life.  One of my dearest friends’ husband died a few weeks ago.  We hadn’t been in touch in several years, we had kind of drifted apart through moves and such, but their family still holds a very dear place in my heart and his death hit my harder than I ever would have imagined.  My heart just aches for my friend and her kids every single day.  That’s been one of the main reasons I haven’t been on here.

This year has also been a difficult school year for several different reasons.  The co-op where I teach has had some issues that have been difficult for me and my class that I teach has as well.  It’s just made for a very stressful year so far.

I’m hoping to get back on here soon and have something to say.  Thanks to anybody who is still out there paying attention to my blog. :)

Title: Darwin’s Racists: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrowdarwins-racists

Author: Sharon Sebastian & Raymond G. Bohlin

Genre: Religion, Christian Life, Science

Pages: 216 pages

Rating: 4 stars (you can look here to read about my rating system)

Book’s website

From the back of the book:

Who are you? Where did you come from? Are you being told the truth? How does what you believe link you to the world’s worst mass murderers, being judged by the color of your skin, super babies of the future, and today’s school curriculum?

Mere generations ago, a man named Charles Darwin introduced his Theory of Evolution which permeates today’s society. Its premise is that some groups of people are less evolved than others and, therefore, inferior. As a result, millions have died when targeted by race, class or disability.

There are those who say that this same philosophy, that helped fuel Hitler’s ovens, has crept into America’s school system when no one was watching. Others contend that evolution, which was rooted in racist and class elitism and is today being taught, makes some of us superior and more “fit” to live on the planet. Are you fit enough? Is your family fit enough? Who survives? Who decides?

In America, are we one nation under God or one nation under Darwin? As two worldviews of race and class collide, it is time to decide what you believe regardless of your social status or the color of your skin.

This books does a fabulous job of pointing out the flaws in Darwin’s Theory of Evolution.  They delve into many areas that some scientists have claimed as fact when, in fact, they have not been proven to be so – they are ideas that are pure speculation.  They also do a great job pointing out many problems that have arisen, not only in our society, but in other societies of the world since Darwin first presented his theory.

There are many great quotes in this book, there are two I’d love to share here.

Spurgeon quickly noted a double standard that was pro-evolution and anti-creation and used sarcasm to criticize Darwin’s unproven theory.  In his monthly magazine, The Sword and the Trowel, Spurgeon wrote the following to all those who recognized God as Creator.

“You are not to be dogmatic in theology, but for scientific men it is the correct thing.  You are never to assert anything very strongly; but scientists may boldly assert what they cannot prove, which may demand a faith more credulous than any we possess.”  Charles Spurgeon

With what he calls almost seemingly endless attacks on religion – through lawsuits, misleading television programs and a bias towards the faith of Darwinism, Author and President of Amerisearch, William J. Federer sees an alarming irony.

“Religion provides social order and tolerance for all people.  Now, in America, everyone is tolerated except the ones who came up with the idea.”

These are just two of many great thoughts shared in this book.  If you are interested in learning about how the Theory of Evolution has shaped our world this book is a great book for you to read.  It is packed full of great information and great quotes.  (If you are interested, you can click on the title above and it will take you to Amazon to purchase the book.)

I do have to add one negative because I’m a bit of a grammar freak.  When using quotation marks the rule is that periods and commas ALWAYS go inside of the quotation marks.  It doesn’t matter if the quotation marks are part of the whole sentence or just around one word at the end – they ALWAYS go inside the quotation marks.  Numerous times in the book the authors have commas and periods outside of the quotation marks.  I know, I know – you’re probably thinking, “Who cares!”  Well, I’m sorry, but I do. :)

Well, I’ve decided to jump into the world of Twitter.  I’ve never really thought it was something I’d get into but I hear more and more people talking about it so I thought I’d give it a try.  Problem is… I have NO idea what I’m doing on there!  haha!   Hopefully I’ll figure it out soon!

My Twitter name (is that even what you call it?) is MLBAH – momlovesbeingathome was too long.  ;)   Let me know if you have one, who you follow, and what you think of Twitter!

Book Giveaway

Posted by: momlovesbeingathome | Comments (0)

One of the things that I started doing when I moved my blog to my own domain name was book reviews.  I have only done a handful so far but I plan to do many more.  In fact, I have several books in my “to read” stack that have been sent to me by companies so that I can read them and review them.  The first company that asked to send me one also wanted to send me some extra copies so that I could do a book giveaway on here.  I have not done any giveaways in the past and am curious to hear from those of you who have what your favorite method is in order to do that.  What has worked best?  Have you figured out things to avoid doing?  Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated!  Tthe giveaway will begin soon!  :)

I found this blog – Now That’s Nifty - through another link and it is one of the funnies blogs I’ve seen in awhile!  Here is my favorite post.  Still haven’t gone over there to check it out?  Here are some excerpts to show you what I mean (the are way more just as funny but I tried to only put a few!  haha!):

- More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can’t wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that’s not only better, but also more directly involves me.

- Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realise you’re wrong.

- Do you remember when you were a kid, playing Nintendo and it wouldn’t work? You take the cartridge out, blow in it and that would magically fix the problem. Every kid did that, but how did we all know how to fix the problem? There was no internet or message boards or FAQ’s. We just figured it out. Today’s kids are soft.

- I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars teams up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front.

- Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.

- Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.

- Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after DVDs? I don’t want to have to restart my collection.

- There’s no worse feeling than that millisecond you’re sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.

- I’m always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to.

- “Do not machine wash or tumble dry” means I will never wash this ever.

- I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.

- I keep some people’s phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.

- I wonder if cops ever get pissed off at the fact that everyone they drive behind obeys the speed limit.

Are you laughing out loud yet??  I was!!   :)   Head on over there and read the rest!
