Ooops I guess people do read this

I just need to apologize because I posted some stuff on here that was written out of anger and frustration that I should have kept to myself. Honestly, I did not think anyone read my blog, so I made a stupid decision and vented where it could be read. I am sorry if you are the person who lost some respect for me after what you read, all I can do is ask your forgiveness and remember I am human and I get upset and frustrated just like you do. Finally, remember if you have a blog, people read them, which I guess is the point, never assume they are not read.

Sad 2

After my last post I thought I should clarify some things or at least let you know why this weighed so heavily on my heart. Some of you may have an idea if you remember my sermon from a few months ago in May. But since I really do not expect you to (the last three I do- May not so much). One of the first people I met when I started going to Church at the Southwest Church of Christ in Barberton Ohio was Jerry. He was a lot older than me probably 18 at the time and I was 5. But he came over and introduced himself unfortunately I had a lot of trouble understanding him, my mom came over and helped me and explainded that Jerry had Down's Syndrome (I am sure she said it in a way a 5 year old could understand). Anyway Jerry and I became friends and we spent a lot of time together. We would play football in the house, use his miniature football helmet collection to play games in the pre-playstation days. We had a bunch of fun together. They moved away, came back and then he passed away from heart problems related to his Downs Syndrome when I was in 3rd grade. It was a sad day and the first time I had ever lost anyone close to me. So when I hear things like the statistic form my last post it sickens me.

sad

I asked my kids on Wednesday night two weeks ago as we studied Matthew 5:4 when was the last time you were so upset by the sin and brokenness in the world that you cried? I can honestly say it was at about 8:20 this morning. That is when I heard a heartbreaking statistic on the Quinn and Rose show as a father called in talking about his daughter with Down's Syndrome. He said that 93% of the babies diagnosed in uetero with Down's Syndrome are aborted. 93% imagine if we went out and smashed 93% of the cardinal eggs next spring, there would still be birds right? or maybe we go and kill 93% of the Asian Elephant pregnancies, there would still be African elephants. It is heart breaking. At Soem point we have to wake up and smell the coffee-President Obama was vilified for saying America is not a Christian nation. I cannot help but hope that he is right. Because if that is what a Christian nation does we are all in trouble.

Wow

It's been a while

It's been a while since I have written. And it's bee na little crazy here. In a very stressful week we had our son in the hospital twice once for three days wiht a migraine, learned that we needed to get a different (I don't say new because, I can't afford a new) car sooner rather than paying it off in February and driving it for a year without payments and started a job to suplement our income. This week brings school starting, the anniversary of the twins death and sports leagues, it has just been a stressful two weeks. And tonight I am supposed to have a youth leaders meeting but I have to postpone it so I can get the financing for my different vehicle. And I get to help with a baptism.
It has been a crazy wonderful summer, busy stressful but good stress the kid that comes with doing church camp and taking kids on mission trips. But the last two weeks have been bad stress the kind that comes wiht car buying hospital visits and tight money.
But God is good and I know He is with us. Thankfully Caden is feeling well, tomorrow will be his first day of school. The girls had great days for thier first day of school. And as crazy as it has been it has been good.
