It was not my intent to be gone from this for such a “long” time.
There have been many things going on along multiple fronts that have
required my attention, plus I don’t know that I have much to say at the
moment. Here’s some of the things that I’ve been thinking about:

Where does the Supreme Court get the right to throw out state’s laws. I know they have been doing it for a while now, but this latest thing
regarding the death penalty for teens under 18 just shows them
overstepping their bounds once again. Who are these five people to say
that they know better than the voters about the trend of morality in
the country? And how often are people of this age penalized in this
way? What’s the process– and by this I mean, how difficult is it?
Shouldn’t there be the ability to punish a mass murderer or cannibal
that happens to be 17? How is it that a girl that is under 18 has the
ability to figure out whether she will kill her baby, but a 17 yr old
cannot be responsible for killing others?

How is that more
and more of the next generation of the United States is being raised by
grand parents? Perhaps this isn’t a bad thing in the sense that it
means that life expectancy is greater, but it does show the priorities
and what the government has done in destroying a normal family life.
Look around, and you can easily find mothers who are unwed, living
together with someone without the benefit of marriage, two people
working and giving their kids to daycare and grandparents to raise…
What is up with our society? And to top it all off, I could save money
in a flexible spending account to pay for “child care” that’s outside
the home and not have that money taxed, but if I raise the kid myself
all the money’s taxed.

Why are churches seeing such struggles
lately? I’m involved in searching for a new pastor for my church
because of problems with communication and general church government.
My father’s involved with a problem with church government and what
happened to one of his friends. It seems that the church is being
attacked more successfully than ever before– or is it that I just
notice it more?

Are there more diagnosis of cancer now because we didn’t know how to diagnose it before?
