An Ol' Broad's Ramblings

The War

6 March 2009, 12:19 pm. 24 Comments. Filed under Blog Stuff, video.

There has been a war going on for a very long time….millennium as a matter of fact. In today’s world, the war is still being waged, on many different fronts, but the objective is still the same. We are battling for our very soul, as people, as a nation, the entire world. Evil comes in many different forms, and right now, we are seeing an ugliness, that may have been apparent in earlier times, but never in my lifetime.  I’ve been feeling like I’m being dragged down into the cesspool, and I don’t much like the feeling.

I started this blog nearly four years ago because I had something to say. It turns out, I had a LOT of somethings to say.  Since that time, there have been ups and downs, good and bad. There have been some folks who have traveled to far places with us, and battled those butt ugly birds with me. Y’all have visited with my family (and friends), and prayed when I had health issues. For each and every one of you, I am grateful.

I have made some good friends (obviously, there are MANY more), made an enemy or two….or five, been called some rather amusing, and not so amusing names.

Recently, I have been doing some serious soul searching, and while I will never give up my battle, my ‘front’ is moving in a different direction. My priorities are still the same, they are just in a different order.

What am I getting to? Well, I’m going to be stepping away from my keyboard.  Not completely, but I won’t be posting as much as has become my norm.  I’ve asked a young lady to pop in now and then to post her rants. Yes….I said young. At this point in time, anyone who is at least five years younger than me is “young”. :P Is she going to take me up on my plea? I think so. She’s still contemplating, but things are lookin’ good.  Don’t scare her off.  She’s got the MOM gene, and she knows how to use it!  She also works for a living…..at least so far…..so odds are, there won’t be the ton of daily posts from her end.

I’m sure, if you are a frequent visitor, you’ll have noticed a few differences, and now you know why.  I will be stepping in now and then, probably at least once a day….for a while. You can’t get rid of me that easy y’know.  I still have something to say, just won’t be saying it very often.  Oh, and I’ll also be frequenting lots of the same sites I always have, and tossing in my two cents.

Matthew 19:26

But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

    Sorry to hear you will be doing less and semi-retiring from the blog. I have really enjoyed your posts and will try and be a little less serious in my future posts. See you later.
    God Bless,

    Glad you said it Chris… Heh.

    Well dang, I didn’t expect this. But if it makes you happy happy trail Kate. You will keep in touch wont you?

  7. Chris from Racine. 6 March 2009, 2:17 pm

    @silent E :P

    Well, now Kate’s gone and did it. She was the only one that could keep this moonbat from hell in line, and now she is setting me free. :)

    Seriously, Kate, even though you and I seldom ever saw things eye to eye, I enjoyed our discussions. You gave me stuff to think about, and I hope I’ve returned the favor to some degree.

    I hope to see you around the ‘Tubes from time to time.

    Now, I am off to scare the heck out of some righties.

    Wow. Thanks y’all! But I’m not falling off the planet y’know! LOL

    And capper….I wouldn’t count on us NOT having a difference of opinion in the future. :P

  10. capper. 6 March 2009, 6:02 pm

    Well, I could always suffer a severe, traumatic brain injury. Then I might start agreeing with you. :D

  11. olbroad. 6 March 2009, 6:05 pm

    Dang! I thought that had already happened, and THAT is why you keep tipping over….leftways. Hmmm…. :)

  12. capper. 6 March 2009, 6:07 pm

    It’s OK, Kate. People of your, um, maturity, are often getting confused. Which does explain most of your posts as well. ;)

  13. olbroad. 6 March 2009, 6:09 pm

    You really DO want me to come up there and SMACK you! LMAO

  14. capper. 6 March 2009, 6:11 pm

    Hey, I gotta get my digs in while I still can!

    God Bless you and your family.

    Thank You for all you do.

    Kate, you have kicked many asses and taken many names.

    Godspeed, and I look forward to whatever else comes from you.

    Since you’re “stepping back”, when you coming to Milwaukee for a Drinking Right? :P

    Well, I’m disappointed that your posts will be tapering off, but if it provides you with a little more enjoyment, then good for you.

  19. Phel. 7 March 2009, 6:49 am

    Good luck Kate… your wit and commentary will be missed…don’t forget us now, y’hear???? :)

  20. olbroad. 7 March 2009, 11:17 am

    Y’all are killin’ me here! LOL Now, I’m starting to feel a smidge guilty. Well, maybe less than a smidge, but still. Just think…y’all will get to abuse a second person. LMAO

  21. olbroad. 7 March 2009, 11:18 am

    Oh, and since I rarely have anything to do on Saturdays but laundry, I might as well, do all my links….right? Well, that is unless Chris doesn’t want me to. :)

  22. Toni. 7 March 2009, 6:50 pm
