Does it Require a Vote? December 14, 2007

Did you know that yesterday, our Congress took time out of their budget and ideological battles to pass an extremely important bipartisan resolution yesterday — by a vote of 372-9 — which
“recognizes the Christian faith as one of the great religions of the world“;
proclaims that Christmas is “a holiday of great significance to Americans“;
decrees that “Christians and Christianity have contributed greatly to the development of western civilization“;
explains that “on December 25 of each calendar year, American Christians observe Christmas, the holiday celebrating the birth of their savior, Jesus Christ”;
and “expresses its deepest respect to American Christians and Christians throughout the world.”
Did we need to have a vote on that?

Wisconsin Dells, Here We Come!
I am off with the whole family for some quick R&R in the Wisconsin Dells. Got a great deal at Wilderness Resort and looking forward to a couple of mid-day naps with my IPod going (and dreaming about getting one of the precious IPhones)!
Katie turns 8 this week and this will give us a head start on celebrating her “birthday week” (we have a whole week of celebration in our family — one day seems to be to short to celebrate your birthday, don’t you agree?)
Summer seems to be rushing by and this will be a good stress reducer for me. Maybe I will go in for one of those “Man-spa” treatments — whaddya think!
