I am still here though you would not know that by my actions. I simply have not taken time to write to each of you for a few months. Be aware that I still think of this cause each day–actually many times each day. If you need anything, please let me know. God is good and […]
If I should die today, would anybody cry?
Makes a person stop and think!
Spring must be coming soon; after all, it is March now. It has been a terribly long and trying winter with cold and snow and wind every day for so many long months. I, personally, am ready to get outside and dig in the dirt, attempting to grow things in my tiny garden. I often […]
Just taking a moment during this blessed season to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas. And my prayer is that 2009 will hold hope and love for you and yours.
It has been a few weeks since I have heard anything new about the child welfare system so, hopefully, our prayers are being answered […]
I never believed much in dreams, at least not in my own case. I know God communicated with the prophets of old in many ways and one of these was often through dreams. Even Christ’s birth was foretold in dreams. But I know I can’t compare myself to any of those fortunate ones. I am, […]
Another case has arisen. At this point, I can give no details so as to protect the innocent. Fortunately, the family involved told someone they knew about the tragedy happening in their family. That person was aware of the destruction caused in many cases by child protection (and I use that term loosely) agencies. A good lawyer […]
My husband and I got back last night from a life-changing experience in Africa. Perhaps all the so-called child protection workers here should just go there. They’d soon learn our children are doing fine without their help. Many of the children there don’t have enough food, very little if any education, not even toilets. It should keep those so-called helpers […]
I just saw this on the back of a card. What a wonderful reminder.
“Do all the good you can. By all the means you can, In all the ways you can, In all the places you can, At all the times you can, To all the people you can, As long as ever you can.” […]
…and I’m in the dark. I love birds. I really do (except for the starlings and a few others). And I especially love robins (I even named my daughter Robin) but I wish they would find a new nesting place. My yard is full of big, beautiful trees. And bushes. And shrubs. But where do […]
Today I watched helplessly as another friend was buried. Bless his heart, Jerry Pressler, was right beside me as I fought (with so much of his help and guidance) the horrors of the Child Welfare System. He, an artist, illustrated editorials, made calls, made suggestions. And, most of all, he stood by me during my family’s […]
