To My Dear Friends in Blogosphere;
This has got to be the hardest posting for me to make, as it has to do with sweet little “Munchkin” and it is not good news at all.
This morning when I took her outside for her morning walk, she could barely stand, so I called the vet that I had made the appointment with and told him that I could not wait until
About
He had me bring her back home and he gave some medications to give her along with some special food. He told me that if she doesn’t start to eat, even a little food on her own within three to four days, then I will have to have her euthanized. He told me that her liver problem has nothing to do with the dog food I fed her that turned out to be on the recall list of tainted pet foods.
Since veterinarians are no longer allowing people to make monthly payments, and “Munchkin’s” bill came to $836.00, which was due at the time I took “Munchkin” home, I did not have that kind of money, so the vet gave me an application for a “care credit” card, which I was approved for, but now I have to figure out how I am going to pay for it, as I have to pay it off in two monthly payments, plus have the money to pay for having her euthanized when the time comes and the cost of cremation. But that is a worry for another time. I just want to concentrate on making “Munchkin” as happy and as comfortable as possible in the time she has left.
This Saturday will be her last “Munchkin’s Saturday Corner”.
FRIDAY STUFF:
The following was sent to me by email from +Symeon, bishop of the Exarchate of Camas, a canonical Orthodox exarchate observing the Julian (Old) Calendar, located in Camas, Washington, in the United States.

"I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every
form of tyranny over the mind of man." Thomas Jefferson, to Benjamin
Rush,
Inasmuch as no one, except perhaps Islamic terrorists, advocates injuring innocent people, the question has to be raised: "Is 'hate crime' legislation about preventing crime, or is it designed to promote the homosexual agenda by silencing opposing viewpoints?"
The current wording of "hate crime" legislation actually commits a hate crime against those who "think" differently than the State.
Thomas Jefferson was against this, as
Not wanting government to dictate their beliefs was a major reason why religious refugees fled to
Today’s radical left is establishing a new State authorized belief, a new Oath of Supremacy, a new Test Act.
On
Siding with radical homosexuals are Islamic jihadists who want the “hate crime” bill passed to muzzle those who expose them.
“To compel a man to furnish contributions of money for propagation of opinions which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.”
“Almighty God hath created the mind free, and manifested His Supreme Will that free it shall remain by making it altogether insusceptible of restraints. That all attempts to influence it by temporal punishments, or burdens, or by civil incapacitations, tend only to begat habits of hypocrisy and meanness, and are a departure from the plan of the Holy Author of religion, who being Lord of both body and mind, yet chose not to propagate it by coercions on either, as was in His Almighty power to do, but to extend it by its influence on reason alone…”
“Be it therefore enacted…that no man…shall be enforced, restrained, molested, or burdened in his body or goods, nor shall otherwise suffer, on account of his religious opinions or belief. But that all men shall be free to profess and by argument to maintain their opinion in matters of religion, and that the same shall in no wise diminish, enlarge, or affect their civil capacities.”
In light of the Democrat Congress promoting the gay agenda,
“The impious presumption of legislators….being themselves but fallible….have assumed dominion over the faith of others, setting up their own opinions and modes of thinking as the only true and infallible, and as such endeavoring to impose them on others….Proscribing any citizen as unworthy the public confidence by laying upon him an incapacity of being called to offices of trust…unless he profess or renounce this or that religious opinion…The opinions of men are not the object of civil government, nor under its jurisdiction… To suffer the civil magistrate to intrude his powers into the field of opinion…destroys all religious liberty.”
Traditional Judeo-Christian religious doctrine believes sex is sacred between a man and a woman. The proposed “Hate Crime” Bill would amount to the U.S. Congress assuming authority over religious doctrine.
Prior to the Revolution,
If “all men are created equal” as Jefferson wrote in the Declaration, then criminals who commit the same crime should be punished equally, regardless of their victim’s age, race, ethnic origin, sexual preferences or status in the community.
To punish criminals more based on who the victim is establishes that all other victims are of less value and therefore unequal. To give special rights to one group, is to take rights from another group. Therefore, all “Hate Crime” legislation is unconstitutional and illegal.
Radical gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered, etc., not only want to come out of the closet, they want to push Christians into it. They want to commit the crime on others that they have accused others of having committed against them.
Could it be that the real hate crime is about to be committed by the radical left against those who hold traditional American values?
President Reagan asked at the Ecumenical Prayer Breakfast, on
“The frustrating thing is that those who are attacking religion claim they are doing it in the name of tolerance…Question: Isn’t the real truth that they are intolerant of religion?”
