Vote for Mom!

for a kinder, gentler internet!!

Just kidding.
But you can vote for my mom!
Mom's blog was nominated to be the best blog written by Moms of Big Families, along with 25 others.
You can vote for her once, on any device that has an internet connection, every 24 hours! That means, if you have a smartphone and a laptop, and you vote for her once from each every day until the contest ends, she'll have gotten 42 votes from YOU ALONE!!!!!!!
(how cool is that?)

So please, Please, PLEASE....
VOTE, IT'S YOUR PATRIOTIC DUTY!!!!

Here's how it works.


  1. go to this link: (click here to VOTE!!!!)
  2. find Art's Chili Pepper in the list (look for a black & white picture of our family)
  3. click on the button next to where it says VOTE
  4. voila! you can check back any time to see how she's doing!
Thanks to all of you!
'Til next time,

We Will Never Forget...

This post will be full of remembering, tears, peace, joy, and sorrow
Today marks 10 years.

10 years of...
horror, loss, tears, pain, recovery, insecurity, heartache, death and terror.

10 years ago today, Al Qaeda flew and wrecked 4 American airplanes.

1 hit the North World Trade Center Tower, in New York City
1 hit the South World Trade Center Tower also in NYC.
1 hit a wing of the Pentagon in Washington D.C. 
1 hit a empty, open field in Pennsylvania.

2,977 people died.
Lives lost.
Souls in eternity.

For some, this was the door into heaven.
But for others it was only the beginning of pain.
Of torture.
Of burning.
A taste of eternity.
A taste of Hell.

Yet in it all God gave hope and mercy.


You can read about the cross here.

This statement is under attack. A group called the American Atheists is suing to remove this monument to those that died there. 


Until Next Time,
KK
