Pray for my family

Family Of Slain Mother, 2 Granddaughters Speaks Out | Local News - KMBC Home

Some days, some times, life has a way of coming to screeching halt leaving you shaking and full of grief so deep that you stand stunned.  You try to think of something to say, but even in the very depths of your heart you find there are no words adequate to the situation.  In fact, as you think over the situation, you know that there will never be words.  There will be looks and sighs and tears and memories.

Rod is leaving in a few hours to attempt to speak those words that aren't there to his sister who is enduring unspeakable grief. 

If you read this, say a prayer for the family.  I don't care really if you stumble upon this blog 2 or 5 years from now.  This is a grief that will never fully go away. 

And, if you know someone who is in a domestically violent situation, please do what you can to save a life. Or three. 

And, if YOU are in that situation, please, do not become a statistic.  Leave.  Get help.  There are places to go where you can be safe.

Today I think you should meet Jaden and his mommy.

Jaden's Story

Pediatric Stroke Awareness Month, blog 1

This is a new blog.  I encouraged her to share her journey through blogging because she has such great trials with her little guy, but then she turns around and has stupendous moments with him.  I know she isn't alone in her journey, but maybe someone in this great big internet world is.  

Blessings of Benaiah

I'm just going to post links to blogs about pediatric strokes here and there through this month.

First though, a video that features some of the children who are affected by strokes. I will be honest: I am slightly partial to Benaiah who you will see twice.

Not a fan of Obama, but a fan of really??

I may have had just about enough of using photo ops for judging a man's ability to be President.  All of the interested parties are doing it though.  Republicans have pictures of Obama's photo op gaffs; Democrats have pictures of Bush's photo op gaffs.  They happen not because a man is mentally unfit but because he is human and the photographers are not paying enough attention to the staging.  

It is unjust to compare a man to a man as well because not all men were raised the same the way. 

You must judge a man's fitness to be in office based upon who he is as a whole; not who he is compared to other men.  

This is a biblical judgment.  II Corinthians 10:12--For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.

Fellow Believers, use just judgment and not the emotional dregs in making your decisions.
