Toddlers, Tiaras & Swimsuits in Vegas

Am I just jaded from years of advocating for abused children in court and reading heartbreaking case files? I mean, is it just me? Or do others see the incongruity of little girls in two piece swim suits parading (or gyrating as a TV commentator remarked) their bodies in Vegas? Not to mention exposing your child on national television? What are these parents thinking?

What I am thinking is that every pedophile in America is TiVo-ing this program.

My LEGACY

"Let each of you look out not only for his own interests,
but also for the interests of others."
Phillippians 2:4 NKJV



Today my daughter completed training
to serve as a volunteer guardian ad litem
to represent abused and neglected children.
~
Because I have served
in the same capacity for twenty three years,
I am thrilled
that she has chosen to follow in my footsteps.
~
Actually she will be walking in her own steps,
but it does feel good to think that I
may have had some influence on her decision.
~
She is a big part of my legacy.
I won't embarress her by saying I am proud of her.
She can be pleased with herself;
while yet remaining humble, of course.

Iay may oudpray ofay ouyay, earday!

IT DOES A BODY GOOD!

I love my daughter's blog on bad manners reverence in church! read it here

It does a mother's heart good to see results of her investment of time and training.

On Mother's Day when we were driving to our Island destination, I was back seat (actually front passenger) driving. I hate bridges and spoke harshly regarding her driving style while crossing the bridges to the Island. There is no driving style on a bridge that will completely satisfy me, but keeping to the inner lanes does lesson my angst. Anyway, she didn't even act offended. Wow! She may have been offended, but she didn't act offended. She let it go. A very adult attitude.

And today she expects those who are worshiping her Lord to act worshipful! Just like she was taught! I love it!


" Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name;
worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness."

Bibles in School Upsets Parents

I don't understand this response!
If the Bible is just a book,
and you do not believe the Bible to be true,
then why would you mind students having a copy?
Schools are full of books. Why are you afraid of the Bible?
Do you think there is something extraordinary
about this particular book?
Of course you do!
