What Is Going ON?

More and more these videos are showing up on the internet and television. How did we get to this point in our world? It really disturbs me that some of our younger generation has such little respect, feel entitled to take or destroy whatever they want with little or no consequences. We always want to find something or someone to blame, but really!

Please someone teach them about freewill and personal responsibility before we pass the line of no return. It isn't the governments job to take care of, or parent our children, it is ours as parents. We all need to step up to the plate and do better.

While we still have many wonderful, compassionate and caring people raising families, more and more fall by the wayside. Unfortunately I speak to those unwilling to change or act maturely. It is my hope however that with love and setting positive examples we can influence at least a few to change they way they see the world.

Other than that....all we can do is pray!

Mother's Day

Happy mother's day to all those caring for families around the world. Without a doubt this is the most difficult job any human will ever undertake in their lifetime; and with little reward or appreciation.

First... we have Moms who carry and literally nourish our unborn selves for nine months. Soon to be followed by the process of safely delivering us into the world; not an easy or painless task. Our arrival brings many years of hard work, dedication, unconditional love and support and personal sacrifice.

How quickly the memory of birth pangs depart with the arrival of our smile.

Second... we have Moms who for various reasons are unable to provide the above except for the process of getting us here. Not that they didn't want to complete the life cycle with their child; it simply wasn't feasible. They made the ultimate sacrifice by allowing their child a better future that the one currently available.

I am fortunate to have one of these special moms.

Third... we have moms who have taken on other peoples children out of love and compassion. Dedicated to do their best in helping them to grow and learn in a loving and safe environment. Their hearts know no difference after the adoption process and love flows freely.

Again, I have been blessed with a special one of these too!

Fourth...we have moms who step in only for short moments in child's life, providing safe havens until permanent homes become available. They heal the wounds and prop up damages souls best they can, sometime without any recognition for their efforts.

And suffer in silence when that role is ended.

Fifth...we have moms who marry into existing families and struggle to become the glue to bond everyone together. They become determined not to see who's child is who's but which child has need and lovingly give it.

Always with the idea to blend two families into one.

Sixth...we have moms who by their child's marriage expand their role and extend their love willingly to whatever stranger their child bring into their home. It isn't always easy to know how to fit in, but support and patience always opens hearts and doorways.

I have been quite bless with two wonderful Mother-in-laws as well.

So...take a moment to give thanks for all those women who willingly took on the task of giving you life, loving you unconditionally, and even putting up with you special personality traits.

What Are we Becoming?

I have a great sadness I am compelled to share. The news this morning is full of death and yet so many are celebrating the occasion. Now, I understand the concept of paying for your crimes and taking personal responsibility for the destruction your actions create, none the less to find joy in ending any life astounds me.

In the paper today we have articles about finding and killing Bin Laden; considered a terrorist and murderer. I will accept those as facts since evidence points that direction.

Yesterday we had a headline stating we killed Gadhafi's son and his three children; again considered by some as a terrorist. So, I understand how people would like to see them removed from power.

But this man was 29 years old, which would make his children very young and quite innocent of any crimes, yet again we celebrate. Sure, some say he was responsible for the death of many of their young so our actions were justified.

But, aren't we in danger becoming exactly what we hate? Aren't we to be more civilized? Aren't we to turn the other cheek? Don't we have personal responsibility to care about the innocent? Isn't revenge God's? Doesn't one of the ten commandments tell us thou shall not kill?

We promote ourselves as a Christian nation, but I see nothing Christian in celebrating the death of others, enemies or not. When I struggle with a moral decision I always seek in my mind, "What would Jesus do?" Somehow I don't think he would say, "Kill them with a joy in your heart."

It isn't easy to love your enemy, but to detach from our basic love of humanity makes us nothing more than poorly evolved animals. And, yes, sometimes death during such situation happens, but to have joy from that is beyond my scope of understanding. Therefore my heart is sad, and I have a grave concern for our people and what is taking place in our hearts. Without compassion, we will cease to exist as a moral or spiritual planet.

I am not saying those who commit crimes should not pay a heavy price for their actions, merely that we should not find such as sense of self satisfaction by their doing so.

I know many of you will disagree with me, but I ask you to look in your hearts and find spiritual truth of such thinking. Please send our a healing light unto the world.

PRAY FOR THE ANGEL OF PEACE TO SURROUND OUR HEARTS
