Who the hell does John Hagee think he is?

I've just read some quotes from this man who calls himself a preacher. What he is preaching though is complete drivel!
Take this quote for instance:

"'And they the hunters should hunt them,' that will be the Jews. 'From every mountain and from every hill and from out of the holes of the rocks.' If that doesn't describe what Hitler did in the holocaust you can't see that."

"Theodore Hertzel is the father of Zionism. He was a Jew who at the turn of the 19th century said, this land is our land, God wants us to live there. So he went to the Jews of Europe and said 'I want you to come and join me in the land of Israel.' So few went that Hertzel went into depression. Those who came founded Israel; those who did not went through the hell of the holocaust.

"Then god sent a hunter. A hunter is someone with a gun and he forces you. Hitler was a hunter. And the Bible says—Jeremiah writing—'They shall hunt them from every mountain and from every hill and from the holes of the rocks,' meaning there's no place to hide. And that might be offensive to some people but don't let your heart be offended. I didn't write it, Jeremiah wrote it. It was the truth and it is the truth. How did it happen? Because God allowed it to happen. Why did it happen? Because God said my top priority for the Jewish people is to get them to come back to the land of Israel."

How dare he! How dare he say that the holocaust was a punishment inflicted upon the Jewish people by the wrath of God!

When I did believe in God many years ago, I would have still been offended and aghast at this Hagee person. Who the hell does he think he is preaching these things?

Don't tell me he thinks he's been sent by his god to tell the people of the earth that the holocaust was just God taking out his anger and frustration on us little peon humans who refuse to fold into a fetal position and wallow in self hate because we have done wrong to believe that we have a right to make decisions in our own damn lives!

Ugh! I can't even find the right words to form the sentences to explain how incredibly shocked I am at how this man can have a church...followers who hang on his every word. Do people really go about their lives not thinking for themselves but taking the word of a lunatic (yes, I'm calling Hagee a lunatic) as the word of a god they put their faith in?

I'm not a religious person. But I used to be and I can't imagine following someone so blindly so as to actually take the above quote to heart and believe that the horrific event that we now call the holocaust was anything other than a nightmare come true!

I'm outraged!

Ponderings of vitamin water...

So, I finally gave in...I tried vitamin water. (Yeah, they don't capitalize it.) It's a drink that contains zero juice but is chock full of vitamins.
It also has someone on the staff with a great sense of humor. At least they think they have a great sense of humor. The side of my bottle of glaceau vitamin water "essential" orange-orange (c+calcium) *whew that was a long name* has this to say:

"ah, orange juice commercials. funny stuff. mom cheerfully prepares some huge breakfast while the rest of her family sleeps. sure this could happen. but every morning? please. maybe if mom were heavily medicated, in which case, we wouldn't condone operating a stove or any electrical appliance.

for those of us who don't live in an orange juice commercial, there is still a way to get your morning nutrition. this product has calcium and lots of vitamin c, so you can get your day started right, minus the whole stepford mom thing.

vitamins + water = all you need"

I just have one thing to say... Haven't these people ever heard of a CAPITAL letter?

Well, okay, I have two things to say...I love getting up in the morning and making breakfast for my family before they are all awake.

I get to have the house to myself quietly sipping tea and cooking breakfast. And my kids are happy to see me when they crawl out of bed because I've made eggs, grits, turkey sausages, hash browns, oatmeal, French toast, pancakes or waffles *wait when was the last time I made waffles*.

Point being, I am far from being a "stepford mom" but I still have a wink of a June Cleaver type in me.

So, vitamin water writer, don't dog the breakfast cook unless you've eaten in her house! Because once you have, you'll realize you have to make fun of someone else.

vitamins + water + mom's love and breakfast = all you need

Gimmick or great idea?

I ran across something rather by accident earlier today: Drive Water.

Nope, not dive, I said drive.

Supposedly it is the idea of adding a tank under the hood of your car so that you can partially run your vehicle off of a mixture of distilled water and baking soda.
Here is what the website I came across says:

"You don't change your engine or computer. A quart-size (95O cc) container is placed somewhere under the hood. You fill it with DISTILLED WATER and a little bit of BAKING SODA. The device gets vacuum and electricity (12 Volts) from the engine, and produces HHO gas (Hydrogen+Oxygen)."

Sounds like a gimmick to you right? I thought so too. But, what if it really works? What if we can solve the issue of having so much poison pumped out of our exhaust pipes by adding a simple device under the hood?

Check it out for yourself. http://www.drivewatergogreen.com/
