How much more disgusting is our society going to get? I just want to throw-up when I see the devil being so BOLD…
Do people really wear such things?

OK, I first came here to say, that I have twice adopted society’s “rejects”. To my husband and I they are wonderful children, although, I do like to use the slang term kid., Anyway, we adopted two that were easily considered special needs by our state.
Our first one, Claire, who you may call on for any one who has a child or loved one in the hospital as she is now in heaven, lived to be seven years old. She was a cheerful little bundle of God’s grace.She was medically handicapped, but that didn’t stop her. She was out riding her bike and being “Miss Congeniality” (her nickname) with all the neighbors the day she died. It was an odd and aggressive pneumonia. As it would have been if we could have given her a choice, she died at home in daddy’s arms with no needles involved.
I struggled as convert to understand “full of grace” in the Hail Mary. I am not saying my daughter was sinless, but she was very much a child of grace. Not only did we choose to be her parents rather easily, people were supernaturally generous with her.
Our son, who is now six years old and is extremely healthy. He is bright and opiniated and cute. He what is generally termed bi-racial, but that grates on me. He is fully human, not part dog. So I usually say he is bi-ethnic. Being of a different color blend than the majority of our nation, he automatically gets special needs status. Sad but true.
We are approved to foster to adopt one or two more any day now. Please pray for us.
I have a sister in law who “Marched for Death” and I sincerely have trouble letting her touch my son right now. I am not joking. I want to scream at her and ask her how she can possibly pretend Christopher is loveable just because he escaped abortion?
When she emailed me to wish me a happy mother’s day, I thanked on behalf of my three dead children (my failed pregnancies and Claire) and Christopher. She didn’t write me again for months.
I pray to forgive.I know it is an action and not a feeling. I have two Holy hours that I am managing to make in spite of school being out. I pray and ask for grace. I ask Claire to pray for Kim and me.
PART 2
Disguting T-SHIRTS
On this past Saturday, My husband, son and I did a major shopping trip, thanks be to God. While at WalMart, in the checkout there a man that was the anti-father to my husband. While my husband was wearing a t-shirt that said “URGENT, Call Home, Your Mother hasn’t heard from you in Decades” (there was a rosary on the back with the decades part)
The other man wore a shirt with three simple pictures.
A bird a dog a bird except it was more coarse
The birds were swallows so it was
swallow female dog swallow
Then in case the people viewing the shirt might escape unscathed, the nasty pun was spelled out. I will leave it up to the readers.
Now this man was with his wife and two sons who were old enough to read – at least they were older than my kid who was almost old enough to read the shirt.
We shook our heads and prayed for the family. It seemed so sad.
I pray that we can raise our son to be better than that. I am hopeful that we can.We do make God a very big part of our lives.
The other day I had a migraine and wasn’t the most charitable of souls. I didn’t like how I spoke to my son, and I told I was going to confession to because I felt was very sorry for being rude to him.
Of course, I had apologized to my son, but I wanted to show him my remorse was deeper than that and that the confessional was good place.
Perhaps that is what the world is lacking, the conscience and the accountability of Confession.
Pax et bonum,
