It Starts Today.

Christian, Muslim, Jewish, or Non-Believer….it doesn’t matter. There is one thing we can all agree on; the quality of our entertainment is on a downward spiral. I’m tired. Tired of covering my children’s eyes whenever an inappropriate commercial appears. Tired of getting up and walking out of anticipated PG13 movies that should’ve crossed the lines to R. Whatever the rating may be, at the end of the day…I know “good” material from “bad.” I know what I should be watching and what I shouldn’t. I know what leaves me feeling peaceful inside and what doesn’t. Last night I went to a movie. It was PG13 and used every bit of that rating it could. I heard destructive language, women and men having affairs, females who were in serious lack of attire….and there I sat. I didn’t get up that time. My soul urged, and I ignored. I traded the value of my conscience to see “how the show ends.” I felt horrible inside.
Today is a new day. There is opportunity all around me. Opportunity for my family to stand for what we know to be right. Opportunity to support those few entertainment outlets who still bring good into our theatres and homes. Opportunity to walk over to my Television and quietly shut it off, no matter the popularity of the program. Opportunity to be the only one to get up and walk out of a packed theatre. And finally, opportunity to do right by myself, my husband, and those two little guys that God gave me to grace my home. It’s time to change the current. It starts with me…. It starts today.

Top Ten List!


The Top 10 Reasons A Day With Jeff is Priceless!

10. He can sing you every song made by Conway Twitty, Hank Williams, or any other country singer imagineable.
9. When you think you've found the best burger dive possible, Jeff will take you to a better one.
8. On any given day, Jeff can tell you how to get to Zion..."Take I-15 down to a little town called Holden."
7. When you are parched and out of anything to drink, Jeff will unfailingly pull out a crisp cold can of Pepsi.
6. Although he appears very manly, Jeff is always up for a good episode of the "Gilmore Girls."
5. He has a killer built-in navigation system. You can almost punch an address on his forehead and get the same results as a GPS.
4. If you're bored, nothing is better than locking Jeff in the house for the entire day with nothing to do and watching him squirm. Quite entertaining.
3. He'll go to any store with you...except the MAC counter. Every guy has their limits.
2. Call him "Chef Jeff." He is a barbequeing, dutch ovening, grilling man. And he's only lit the barbeque on fire twice.
1. If you have a pet, trade them in and rent Jeff. He is the most loyal, humble, and best friend anyone can have.
I love you Jeff. I hope our 5 years turns into 50...and so on.
Happy Birthday!
