We are Republicans to be sure. However there seems to be a bit o' a rift in the party at present. There is a growing theme in my little corner of the world and this is it;
Mr. Romney, if you want any support from us then we would
strongly encourage you to support Todd Akin. You are not even
the president yet and already you are not listening to the people.
Are you going to be a president 'for the people' or 'for yourself'?
If you arent listening to us now, why would we think you would
listen to us later?
So far today, we have gotten 6 emails from 'Mitt Romney'. More than a few persons that I know, responded to those emails saying ;
Until you support Todd Akin for US Senate, we will be sending all donations to his campaign and not yours. Your choice.....
Pretty powerful huh? You may think the Senate race has nothing to do with the presidential race. However I would beg to differ. Mitt Romney knows how much influence Senators have. Perhaps ol Mitt isnt as conservative as he portrays?

Party Bosses and other Tyrants...
Ok you already know what is going on in Fl at the convention right? I could barely sleep for wondering how it was all going to 'pan' out and prayed with fervency.
Here is what bothers me the most though...since the time of the War of Northern Aggression...when a 'party' wins by CHEATING, is that REALLY winning? Can you walk away with your head held high and feel like you have ability, strategy and superior capability, when you got your prize by being a
CHEATER??? Cheating; this is what we teach our children NOT to do. Why? Because it is wrong, It is essentially stealing. You are taking something that isn't rightly yours, nor earned by you.
Can you really swallow that fact that a bus, on the way to the convention got LOST...just so happens there were 'voters' on that bus. How do these cheaters sleep at night? I guess as long as their 'ends justifies the means'...oh yes, but we are not to live that way.
We are called to be holy, honest, upright, above reproach, not slanderers...the list goes on. Well , there is only one solution that I can think of;
When our children, lie cheat and steal like the party bosses are doing; DON'T let them get away with it!
However, since our counterparts are teaching their children TO lie cheat and steal and that it is ok, we need to teach our children more;
Teach them to pray, ask for the Lords favor. Teach them to live above reproach so that the Lord will bless them. Then, at the end of the day when 'the bad guys win'...teach them that God is Sovereign over the events of men. God is faithful to preserve us in this crooked generation....

Todd Akin, Todd Akin, Todd Akin
Friend, The party bosses are at it again. This time, Reince Priebus, Chairman of the Republican National Committee, came out and said that even if Todd were tied with Claire McCaskill, “we’re not going to send him a penny.” Can you believe this? This is a clear example of putting party power and political games ahead of the good of the country. Luckily, there are many leaders in the Republican party who are speaking out against the party bosses and their attacks on Todd. Click here to watch what Mike Huckabee had to say over this past week:  Will you help Todd win in November? We need YOU to chip in now and show the party bosses that this isn’t their race, but yours, and you’ve chosen to WIN. Click here to donate now and ensure that Claire McCaskill doesn’t get reelected. Sincerely, Perry Akin Campaign Manager |
In Case you missed it...
I gotta say it. I believe it is very important for folks to know this....
Todd Akin, though he has been IN politics for many years, we who know and support Todd, and those who "DO NOT" support Todd, agree on this one thing;
Todd is NO Politician
Through all of his years as a representative and a congressman, in MO and Washington, he has never compromised. He is no 'insider'. He is first of all a man of God, and call him what you will....you cannot call him a politician.

LOTS OF HOOPLA!
Politics, wow. There is always something stirring in the political world isnt there?
This is as good a time as any for us to realize something or be reminded of it.... As Christians, we are not to be conformed to this world; therefore, whatever the secular news media says, is not 'gospel'. We need to be thinking Christians and we need to sort through the myriad of tv and internet info,to discover 'first source' information and documentation.
This is also a great thing to be teaching our children whom we are schooling. We dont want to raise them to think that watching the ten o clock news, gives them an accurate view of current events right? However , I fear that this is too easy to do.
Also, in politics; we may support one candidate over another. We may whole heartedly agree with one and be vehemently opposed to the other. However, we dont need to malign and demonize a political opponent, as a way of supporting the one we endorse. We need to be teaching our children to have a positive attitude. Mud slinging is such an unnecessary part of politics. I for one appreciate the positive campaigners , though they are few and far between.
So just another way for us to use 'current events' to train, school and disciple our children. I would love to hear your ideas for using the current 'campaign season', as a part of your schooling/discipling!
God bless~

Todd Akin for US Senate....
So, likely you have read the hoopla. If you have read this blog for any length of time, you have read a 'supporters' view. So now you get the opportunity for some dialog ....
What are your thoughts about congressman
Todd Akin?
What questions do you have about this candidate for US Senate?

What are you????
Real life events have the effect of sifting out what we say we believe, as opposed to what we truly believe in our heart.
The Republican platform for over 30 years has been 'pro-life' and anti abortion. The unborn, are recognized as people with human rights as defined in Article 7. So what is the problem, and all of the hoopla about in regards to Todd Akin?
Well, the Lord is just doing some sifting among His people I think. A lot of Republicans just realized that they aren't really 'anti' abortion after all.
Are you pro life or NOT? Regardless of how, you, or your child or your neighbor came into being, they are still a valuable life. A life granted to you by our Creator. Your value is not determined on HOW you came into being. You re value is that you are one. Period.
It is very disappointing to me to see how 'addicted' our society is on media. It is like entertainment though most of it is full of death and horror and despair.
When Todd Akin began to be attacked for his statement, most people had not even seen nor heard what his actual comments were before they judged him. Many said 'so, what did he say wrong?" There was, granted, some who heard and really did get offended, but they had already been biased by the media. We need to be wise as serpents in this perverse generation and not depend on secular media to determine our thought processes.
And, politically speaking, the Republican party made a VERY BIG MISTAKE, by not supporting their own. This is something that I for see them repenting of in the next few days.
Do politicians REALLY want to go down this road....the road where any little misinterpretation of what you say could cause you to have to step down? For mercy sake, our last president was overtly immoral and people still follow him around with adulation! Or how about the current president? He is clear about his anti American sentiments, yet no one can find anything wrong with what he says? Are you serious? Also, the man who created Obamacare actually said in an interview the other day; 'I don't think politicians should make health care decisions'. Really? Well obamacare is coming to a town near you folks and if you think it will work in your favor than you are clearly in the dark about the facts of socialized medicine. Ask anyone living in Canada. So where is the uproar of that deliberate lie from the current Pres?
Oh that the Lord would grant us to be wise in this perverse generation. I cant repeat it enough.
Practically speaking, this Senate seat that is up for grabs here in MO is a VERY pivotal one. It will determine, for one, the direction that our state is going 'liberal or conservative' , 'pro freedom or pro bondage to big govt' CONSERVATIVE or LIBERAL. So where do you stand? And this not only affects the state of MO. Especially now.
By the grace of God, pro life advocates all over the country are stepping up to support Todd, support freedom, and support life. It is no easy job that Todd is going after. He is standing in the gap for all who love life and freedom. Please stand with us and pray for and support and promote Todd whenever the Lord provides you opportunity to do so.
The battle is about good/evil. May the GOOD win this one, Sola Gratia~

No longer what we were before.....
We shall be like Him!
(James Smith, "The Love of Christ! The Fullness, Freeness, and Immutability of the Savior's Grace Displayed!")
We are predestined to be conformed to Christ's image. But now we groan, being burdened with sin. Now we are grieved, because . . .
our tempers are so unlovely,
our feelings are so carnal,
our minds are so wandering, and
our hearts are so depraved.
"But we know that when He appears, we shall be like Him--for we shall see Him as He is!" 1 John 3:2. We shall be exactly like Him--in every sentiment, feeling, and design! Then selfishness will be forever done away. There will be no more . . .
rebellion in the will,
hardness in the heart,
wandering in the affections,
guilt in the conscience, or
blindness in the understanding;
but every faculty will be perfect in holiness--and the whole soul filled with joy unspeakable and full of glory!
We shall be like Him! Then we shall be perfect in knowledge! "Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known."
We shall be like Him! Then we shall be perfect in love! We shall love God perfectly and supremely. We shall love all who love Christ, even as we love ourselves.
We shall be like Him! Then we shall be perfect in happiness! Every wish will be gratified, every desire fulfilled, every prayer answered.
We shall be like Him! Then we shall be glorious!
Is Jesus enthroned? We shall sit with Him on His throne.
Is Jesus crowned? He will give unto us an unfading crown of glory!
"But we know that when He appears, we shall be like Him--for we shall see Him as He is!"
(Looking forward to that great and glorious Day~the Adams)

WALES!
I have never heard our girl so excited as she was when she drove into WALES! Wales is dear to her heart though she had never been there before. Some of our earliest ancestors are traced to Wales. The great line of Kendricks of England, actually find their roots in Wales as Cynwyck...sp? Anyways, that is one of the older Welsh names.
Also, there are some missionaries, the Funnels , who serve in Wales and our family follows their blog and updates diligently.
We were so excited to learn about the famous Welsh Revival and renewed our appreciation for the song; "Here is love". Also a family from a church we like to visit when we are able, have a son that moved to Wales, married a Welsh girl and is now pastoring! So, it is just a suspicion but this is perhaps our girls 'first' visit to Wales...I expect she is already planning to go again!
We wish she would have had time to make some contacts there! We would love to connect regulary with someone living there!

My children are SCATTERED!!!
One daughter in Denmark,
One daughter in London,
One son in CA,
One son in TX!!! You know what that means, if the are scattered then this mama is at home on her knees! Praying for safety and mercy and grace for myself as well as them!
The saying is true...they grow up much too fast!
And I too am a 'child' who is 'scattered'! I left my dear parents in CA to move out here to this fine state!
I am sure my children miss me because I MISS MY MOM! Aren't mothers wonderful? Mine is and I am sure that it is high time she come out for a visit! Sigh! Looking forward to that DAY when we are all together at HOME.

Interesting quote....
From Dr. Mercolas website this morning. It is worth pondering!
"The question is, what kind of food system do YOU want? If every American decided to not eat at a fast food restaurant tomorrow, the entire system would collapse overnight. It doesn’t take an act of Congress to change the food system. All that is required is for each and every person to change their shopping habits.
"The question is, what kind of food system do YOU want? If every American decided to not eat at a fast food restaurant tomorrow, the entire system would collapse overnight. It doesn’t take an act of Congress to change the food system. All that is required is for each and every person to change their shopping habits.
“That’s why our slogan is, “We’re healing the land one bite at a time.” We want people to understand that when you eat, that is a decision that affects the landscape our children will inherit,” Joel says. “You can make that decision independent of politics and everything else. You could make that decision three times a day. And there are thousands of farmers like us (many of them smaller than us) around the country and around the world,that are waiting to serve that clientele "
SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT:)
Were Up and Running!
Well we are back online! So nice to have a functional computer again...though I enjoyed all of the extra time I had with the children when it was 'down and out'!
Such a busy time! We made it through the primary! Yay for Todd Akin (US Senate) and James Sigman for Sheriff, Shane Shoeller, Crowley for Sheriff in Shannon county, ....Many others are to be congratulated and lamented...
Things don't want to seem to slow down for us! We are getting ready for school, the Awana program at our church, continuing on the campaign trail, and dancing and expecting guests...following our daughters progress in London/Wales! Whew!
We hope all of our followers are well and blessed and we look forward to catching up with everyone!
Blessings, The Adams

Please vote!!!! The Primary is Coming!!!
Im not sure what your plans are for this Tuesday...but by the grace of God, may one of them be to get out and vote!
We may have to endure a bit of heat, or perhaps we will need to vote after work and get home late~time is such a precious commodity...or you may need to lose an hour of sleep and get up early to vote before meeting your other responsibilities of the day.
Whatever sacrifice you need to make on Tuesday in order to vote..it is worth it. It will not cost us our life, liberty or property to vote. AND if you vote it will stay that way!
Please exercise your duty as a citizen and vote! There are good men who are on the ballot waiting to be elected. Waiting for the opportunity to fight for, and secure your freedoms.
God bless America~
