What's goin' on... What's goin' on (think Marvin Gaye!)

There's so much going on, I'm reeling.

I feel like our world just went from zero to chaos overnight. The president is making federal laws to force the hands of public schools in regards to the transgender issue. I posted something on Facebook about this recently and someone commented, "Is this really because you don't want to go potty next to someone of a different gender or is this about something deeper?"

Absolutely it is about something deeper. Originally this was about my children and their safety. I send littles and bigs to the bathroom in pairs all the time, trusting the power of numbers and the honor system to keep the bad guys away. That will never happen again. This issue has opened the door for not only transgenders, but also perverts to float freely in and out of the restroom of there choice, no questions asked. 

But even beyond that, I am vehemently offended at the blatant disregard for natural order and God's perfect creative design. Psalms states so beautifully that God knows us, He took the time to carefully create every part of each person with diligent intentionality and purpose. For a person to scrap the original design to pursue a completely different model is not only offensive, it is shameful. 

What we have here are severely broken people rising to the top in our society and steering the cultural norm at full speed ahead. This is like handing the wheel of a high speed locomotive over to a blind and deaf man. The suicide rate in the transgender community is 40%. After gender reassignment surgery, that statistic rises to an astonishing 70%!!  The need for these people to be validated is not only being acknowledged, it is lauded and praised! These are deeply wounded people in need of the mercy of God to bring healing and restoration. Political power and forced acceptance will never fix those broken places in these individuals.

With that said, I will no longer sit on the sidelines and allow the government to dictate the world my children will be raised in. I will make my voice heard because I am NOT ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes.

I woke up this morning Fully realizing that He is gone. There is nothing I can Think Or say Or pray That will undo that. Now we have to Navigate through another day Without him. Like learning how to walk On new legs. Pray for my strength To come only from the Him. Mine is faulty. May the comfort of our Lord Come to those around me Through these two arms And these two ears And this trickle of tears. Lvb

  This dog is a fierce opponent of mine. For over a year I have avoided the last leg of my two-mile walk because of his ferocious bark. I have a fear of dogs from childhood that is pretty irrational, but I am able to reason myself out of running scared, sometimes. Instead of walking to the end of his block, I would just retrace the distance over an area that was dog-free. It felt silly, but it kept me safe. Then one day there were two walkers ahead of me that managed to get to the end of the block with no sign of attack. I could hear the dog barking, but he didn’t approach, so I assumed there was an electric fence. Oh the joy I felt at this discovery! I began to shed my fear and walk freely to the end of the trail.  I was so happy about my newfound freedom that I decided to write about it. So one day, I stopped on the sidewalk in front of the dog’s house to take a photo of him. Before I knew it he was charging at me, barking viciously. He got closer and closer and I walked quickly down

Hi, have you met Dale? Than you know why this picture shocks me everytime I look at, it's like I'm seeing it for the first time. So I'm praying that I'll have at LEAST one writing project done by next spring. With the new home schooling goals, I don't know how practical that is, but without a forty hour commitment to working every week, starting in October, I'll have a little free tiME! WE GOT THE JOB!!! Dale interviewed today. We should have a reporting date in October. Thank you all, with all sincerity, for your prayers for us and the timing on this crazy thing. It has been worth the wait- for this. If we had not been forced to wait the past months, Dale would have gone into the interview totally unprepared, overweight and out of shape. But God... For years we have lived our lives like Mario- when he's invisible and the fast music is playing- invincible. (my first big word as a kid) When we first got married, Dale worked at Blockbuster as a manage
