Girl Friends Aren’t Important
Posted on October 8, 2008, by Kim, under Family | Relationships.
For any of you who know me, you know that I am about to dispell this as a MAJOR Ms.Conception! Today, I have had a number of conversations with “my girls”. I don’t know why today would be the day where I could see a number of my girls face to face, and spend hours on the phone with them today for various reasons.
It is days like today that makes me proud to be a strong, feeling and caring woman. A woman who loves her family and tries to serve them to the best of my abilities, which at times I feel like aren’t many. I had to touch base with my girl who just got back from a funeral out of state and then had the priviledge to seek council from a great friend in the morning, and right after that, my phone rang where I could pass it on to another girl friend. I then was able to apologize for causing hurt feelings, by just being careless. I met my friend and her little babies for lunch today and then was able to practice with the girls from worship team tonight….A busy day, but submersed in a circle of girls that are my girls!
I am quickly reminded that without my girls I would be lost–Granted, Jesus is the ultimate friend, but he is so relational that I know these friendships please him, so without His presence in their lives pouring out into mine, I would infact be lost.
Tonight on the way to practice, I stopped at Starbucks to grab a cup of coffee and I just enjoy reading The Way I See It the quote was from Madeleine Albright, “There is a special place in hell for women who don’t help other women.” Now, while I don’t believe that and I’m sure she probably doesn’t either, but she is making a point that we are, as women, suppose to stick together and help each other out.
This is a long post, but it has to be said. Friendships are golden and not to be handed out like candy. They are special and should be cherished. I am very excited about this weekend, as my best friends from grade school all through high school and I are going to get together. We’ve known each other for 29 years! I can’t believe it’s been that long, but it has and these are friendships that I NEVER want to lose. I am very much in love with my friendships and will always thank God for them…If you have a close friend, please let her know how much she means to you! If you don’t have a close friend, please for whatever reason you don’t, find one and cultivate a friendship! You will be so glad you did!

The Relief Bill is Going to Save the Day

I am a frequent reader of the site www.rightchange.com and it is very imformative. I just found this on the site and it is really eye opening.
Just how much is $700 billion??
- It is almost $150 billion more than has been spent on the Iraq War since the invasion in 2003
- It is equal to $2,300 payment for every person in the United States, and more than $100 for every person in the world
- It is enough to buy 233,333 Super Bowl ads
- It could build 400 space shuttles
- It could purchase 3.5 billion iPhones
- It could purchase 700 billion items from the dollar menu at McDonalds
I have a hard time believing that this bailout is really going to benefit anyone for the long haul. This is a global issue…not just the responsibility of the current administration.
On a much lighter note, I hear Barack Obama is a huge fan of nuts, especially Acorns!

It’s Not Our Fault
Posted on October 5, 2008, by Kim, under News | Events | Politics.
When I decided I wanted to start this blog, I didn’t intend for it to turn out to a politically focused website, but I am into current events and since I don’t really want to comment on Kim Kardashian being voted off of Dancing With the Stars, I will just stick with my political comments for this post.
What a Ms.Conception, It’s Not Our Fault! Both parties will not take the blame for the economic failure our nation is facing. I am so let down by the voting public. I know what makes America, America is the freedom to vote the way you feel, but seriously with all of the proven facts that our potential president, Democrat Barack Obama has had deep, family like relationships with some severe radicals in our own country is really troubling to me. I can not believe it doesn’t bother a lot of people. I know he has “denied” any affiliation with them now, but you’ll deny even your family if you want something bad enough.
My hope is that in the next 30 days, people will do their research, read between the lines and read the fine print. If he accomplishes what his radical friends are pushing him to accomplish, we will face the biggest inner-nation battle we could ever dream of. The fundamentals on which this country has been built will be tossed away. We will stand in lines for our healthcare and will rely on the government to “act quickly” to give us a diagnosis, really? This healthcare will also cost $65 billion a year. Really? Where is that coming from? I know we are on shaky ground, and there are many to blame, I am not disputing that, but I fully believe we are facing a Republican party who is wanting to move forward.
I love this country, I want my children to have the same things and more that we have, but if the nation continues to put a bandaid on the situation, there will be no America the way we’ve known it to be.
