Opinions

So I just told some friends today that I don't like to blog about negative things but since I don't have facebook anymore to make a status report.

I do not know why I cannot stay away from a report of an abused child in the news! Not only can I not turn my head, I can't even blink! I am ABSOLUTELY heart broken about the report that the mother in South Carolina that yesterday claimed her car 'accidentally' went in the river with her 2 year old and 18 month old still strapped in their car seats. Today she has admitted to suffocating them first after a hard knocks conversation with her mother. This woman is so horrible. Her life is sad but ultimately, we are responsible for our own choices in this life and taking a life is taking a life. She not only took two lives but the lives of two innocent children that were entrusted and gifted to her from God. The ONLY peace I get from this story is the fact that they died in innocence and are spared the further abuse their 'mother' would have caused them. It just makes me soooo soo so sad and I wish I could have these little boys for my own, to love and hug and encourage.
I hope people out there that are feeling the stress she was feeling will reach out for support from their family or friends.

First off, Cora's room is lovely. Secondly, I am totally with you on the abused children stories. I couldn't even read this latest one. There was a case here in UT with a little boy my son's age (with the same name, too!). What his parents did to him before he died literally had me sick and teary for days. So I try to avoid abuse stories. I just can't stomach them right now. It's not a blind eye I'm turning, just a need to keep my mind somewhat clear from some of Satan's evils...
