Our president clearly has NO respect for life. Not only does he plan to lift all bans on abortion including partial birth abortion, but he has lifted the ban on embrionic stem cell research.

WASHINGTON -- President Obama will sign an executive order Monday lifting restrictions on federal funding for embryonic stem-cell research, administration officials said Friday.
The order, which will fulfill a campaign pledge, will reverse limits put into place by then-President George W. Bush in August 2001.
Research on embryonic stem cells is considered promising, and could lead to treatments for a range of ailments, including Parkinson's disease, diabetes and spinal-cord injuries, scientists say. Embryonic cells are considered particularly potent because they can develop into any type of tissue.
But it is controversial because it involves the destruction of days-old human embryos. Opponents say the research requires killing one life to potentially save another, and they have focused on the promise of research using adult stem cells, which has made advances in recent years.
Some politicians who oppose legalized abortion support embryonic stem-cell research. But others say life begins at conception and thus the research requires the taking of human life.
The embryos used for the research typically are donated by couples who wound up creating more than they needed during fertility treatments and would otherwise be thrown away. Each embryo can yield one stem-cell line, which can continue replicating indefinitely.
The debate has never been about the legality of stem-cell research, which is legal in the U.S. At issue is whether the science qualifies for federal funding.
In a closely watched decision early in his presidency, Mr. Bush allowed federal funding for stem-cell research but limited it to stem-cell lines already in place at the time of his announcement, on Aug. 9, 2001. Mr. Bush said he didn't want a federal incentive for more embryos to be destroyed.
Twenty-one lines then in existence qualified for funding, but researchers and patient-advocacy groups have complained that they were inadequate and not all of high quality.
Mr. Obama's executive order will lift the Bush restrictions and allow National Institutes of Health funding for all stem-cell lines. The order will be signed at a White House event Monday.
As written, the law gives the administration discretion in determining whether the research qualifies for funding. Congress twice passed legislation overturning the ban, but Mr. Bush vetoed it both times. Supporters didn't have the votes needed to override the veto.

Some updates

William is four months old! Can you believe it?? He weighed in at 17 lbs 9 oz at his doctors appointment. That's almost what most one year old's weigh! We have started him on some rice cereal, and we are thinking about adding a bottle of formula at night time. Not because we're lazy or don't want to nurse him, but he doesn't sleep very well and is still waking up three times a night to eat. So, hopefully a bottle will keep him full longer. He is really enjoying the rice cereal though. He is really ready for food, so we are going to start letting him eat.

We still haven't had anyone come to look at the house. I'm starting to feel discouraged and really let down. We have a tentative closing date of Sep. 25 for the other house and right now it just doesn't seem like it's going to happen. I feel really sad and kinda cheated. I feel like things started off really well and then God seems to have forgotten about us. Hopefully something happens within this month we have left. Please keep us in your prayers, I really need it right now.

I am joining the WholyFit group at our church! Yay. It's a Christian based yoga group and I'm really looking forward to it. I love to work out, and now I'll be able to do it in a Christian group of women, and there is childcare for all the kids, so it's going to be kinda like Mommies Night Out for me. I'm excited about it.

We signed Gwen up for soccer and we are going to start soccer practice with her sometime this week. Phil is going to have to tell me what to do, I'm not a soccer person, but he use to play. So, I'm going to have to have him tell me what to do with her!

We have finally resumed school, now that the Olympics are over and I got my copies made. Our computer ran out of ink so I had to go to office max yesterday and make copies and buy ink. Yay. I really like their copy machines better, but I will use mine for now I guess.

I think that is about it... I'll add more if I think of it.
In the mean time, please keep us in your prayers. Thanks!

Stressful time

I'm having a really stressful time right now. I'm having a hard time with the kids, they just are being frusterating. William is having a hard time sleeping today, that may have something to do with Annabelle yelling all the time. I'm upset that nobody has come to look at our house and starting to feel like we are never going to be able to move. I don't know why everything has to fall apart all the time. The first part of the process to move went pretty smoothly. But now, there is nothing. I feel like our hopes were dangled in front of us and now they are being taken away. I'm frusterated and upset and hurt. It seems like things never go our way. I don't know why. I feel like someone is jacking around with our future and there isn't anything that I can do. Please pray for me, I could really use it.

The Shack

This is a fantastic book. I highly recommend that you read it. It will really change your perspective of God and why things happen the way they do. I read it all in one day. It's that good. It is written by William P. Young. Go out and find it, you won't regret reading it. Buy some tissues as well, because you will most likely need them.

Soccer

Well, we finally found a sporting group for Gwen. We signed her up for FFPS. Not so much because of the "fair" business, but because it was cheap and she loves soccer. We had stoped at Academy and bought the twenty dollar soccer package: shoes, ball, shin guards and a water bottle. We picked up a FFPS flyer there and decided to sign her up. We already have all the things that parents have to provide, so, it was good. We picked up a pair of soccer socks at WalMart for her to practice in. She will get a full uniform from the soccer team: shirt, shorts and socks. But she needed something to wear under her shin guards while she's at home practicing. I'm excited for her. I think that she will have a really great time. And while FFPS people don't keep score at the games, rest assured, I will.
