ANOTHER SILLY SONG FOR SEIBER

It's time for another silly song I sing to Parker. It doesn't really have a tune, as much as it is a sing-song sort of chant. Here goes.

Daddy just wants to take care of you.

Daddy just wants to take you to the zoo.

Daddy even wants to change your poo.

'Cause Daddy just wants to take care of you.

PRO-LIFE PEP RALLY

I went to a pro-life prayer vigil and church service on Sunday in Sacramento. It was very moving. We stood in front of a Planned Parenthood complex and prayed for an end to abortion for about 30 minutes. I felt the battle of good and evil as I stood there praying. I still feel it, to some extent, now 48 hours later. We prayed in the pouring down rain. Then we walked about 3 blocks to a small church and had a combination worship service and pep rally about how to end abortion. In spite of the weather, about 100 people showed up. That was encouraging. I thought the blustery conditions would keep people away. I ran into a friend at the rally that I hadn't seen in a while. It was good to reconnect over our shared mission. Abortion is evil. Let us all pray and act that it might end.

COMMENTARY MAGAZINE'S BEST COMMENTER

Jennifer Rubin has become my new favorite blogger. Her postings on the Commentary magazine Web site are spot on. She can skewer Obama with the best of them. Check out her blogs and let me know what you think.

SONG OF STRESS

I'm not much of a singer. I mean I love to sing, but I sound mediocre. And I don't know how to write music. Nevertheless, today during a stressful moment, I wrote a ditty to help calm myself down and focus my thoughts on God. Be glad this is just a written post and you don't actually have to hear me sing it. Although I am sure God doesn't mind me singing it, to Him. It's a simple song, with simple lyrics.

(When) I'm angry and I'm stressed
I must remember I'm blessed
I'm blessed just to worship the Lord.

(When) I'm angry and I'm stressed
I must remember I'm blessed
I'm blessed just to worship the Lord.

The Lord for all He's done for me.
He's saved me for all eternity.

(When) I'm angry and I'm stressed
I must remember I'm blessed
I'm blessed just to worship the Lord.

25 Things About Mr. MM, from a game traveling around Facebook. Facebook is my new addiction.

JOIN MY FACEBOOK GROUP

Mrs. MM challenged me to start a group on Facebook. So after some polite nagging on her part, I did. I created the "I think George W. Bush was a great President" group. I created it just shortly before the end of his 2nd term. I am proud to say we now have 12 members. But we are wanting more. So if you are on Facebook, and I highly recommend it, by the way, please look for our group.

YOU KNOW YOU WANT SOME

Do you have any family traditions? One of my favorite for our family is our Sunday morning ritual of chocolate chip pancakes before church. Mrs. MM makes the world's best pancakes. Even Parker thinks so. "Pancakes" is one of his favorite words. So my stomach is salivating for my Sunday supply of chocolate chip hotcakes. It is almost time. WooHoo!

WHEELY GOOD SONG

As regular readers of this blog will know, I like to sing silly ditties to my son, Parker. The Wheel of Fortune is one of his favorite TV shows, so I made this song up in his honor. We used to sing it every night before Wheel came on. There are even hand motions. It is sung to the tune of "This Old Man."

SLOTSA FUN!

On a recent family/work retreat to Lake Tahoe, Mr. MM won $700 on a penny slot machine at Harrah's. WooHoo! I have never won that much money before on a slot machine, much less a penny machine. Usually it is Mrs. MM who has the lucky streak. But this time, it was me. Too bad all of the money went immediately to my dentist. At least I had it to spend though and didn't have to put the costs of the dental procedure on a credit card. When you get a taste of that kind of luck, it makes you want to try again. That can be dangerous. I am glad I walked away with the $700 and didn't keep playing.
