Just read a story about choosing the gender of a child. We now have the science available to allow prospective parents the opportunity to decide if they want a boy or girl while they are undergoing invitro fertilization.The science has been around for about 20 years, but now is going mainstream.
We are able to take an egg from a woman, sperm from a man, mix it all together and make a baby. But that's not enough, we also want to make sure we have the correct gender to make sure the annual Christmas card(oops, I mean "Holiday card")looks just like we have imagined. God forbid we let nature take it's course. Oh...that's right, God has nothing to do with it. It's all about what we want, right now. It's not the future, it's the present.
What the average person doesn't want to think about and acknowledge, is that it's never just one baby in one test tube. For each and every invitro, there are many eggs and sperm mixed, many babies made. Girl??? I didn't want a girl!!! They're all girls? Have to try again. Throwing out the baby with the bath water, literally!
How many babies are you willing to discard ( read,throw in the garbage) before you get the one you want?
We are in the midst of controversy regarding "man made climate change".
Where's the controversy about man made gender change?
Do we really believe there will be no consequences?
Diversity will be a word you have to make children look up in the dictionary, they will read about it in history books. All those blond, blue eyed boys who reach a height of 6ft. All those blond, blue eyed girls who will always be thin. How many girls? How many boys?
Do you really believe it will all be ok? Do you really believe it's no big deal? Do you really believe you would have been selected and allowed to be born?

Gooooooooo Big Red!!!!!
I LOVE Alex Henry! I love Ndamukong Suh! I Love Prince Amukamura!!! I love Niles Paul!!7 years ago we moved to Nebraska. I thought people here were insane in their passion and love of the Nebraska Cornhuskers. I vowed never to become one of them...
But here I sit watching my beloved Huskers vie for the Big 12 championship. I have become one of them...the children of the corn.

Where's my free turkey????
It happens every year. Here in the social services world. The constitution is interpreted to include the right of every person to get a free turkey for Thanksgiving.
We do give out turkeys at this time. But the supply is limited and people need to to call ahead and qualify. They cannot receive one if they have received one from another agency. When we have to say no to someone, you would think we are taking away one of their inalienable rights. The right to Life, Liberty, the pursuit of turkey...
We have been yelled at, threatened and treated with disdain by some who have been denied. It is continually amazing how some people feel entitled. Just like Obama money. They don't have a clue that all the free stuff they think they deserve comes from someone who worked hard for it. Hard working people donate turkeys, hard working people donate food to our food pantry. Hard working people pay taxes that become "Obama money". Hard working people know the deal, and Thank God for them! The folks who feel entitled don't care where the free stuff comes from, they just want you to give it to them.
This time of year I have to stop often and breath deeply. I have to remind myself that Jesus is the reason we do it all. I have to remind myself that each one of the people who come in to our office is Jesus in disguise.
Often His disguise is very, very good!

All Clear
I survived. Bede and Joanna survived. Bede Jr had to spend the night in Dallas. We picked him up this morning. All is well.
But last night was one of the most "interesting" nights we have experienced.
Bede and Joanna really were out in the middle of one of the worst storms Shreveport has ever had. They encountered flooded roads, cars stalled out in water, blinding rain. Very scary! They made it back to the Air Force Base about 10pm. But were not allowed in. They went around to the back gate and sweet-talked the guard into letting them in. So we all had a good nights sleep and were ready to tackle it all again today. Still raining off and on but much lighter and no tornadoes...at least for now.

Tornado!!!!
I'm sitting in the bathtub in the guest lodge in Shreveport LA. Not taking a long leisurely bath...no, no, no.
I'm taking cover as a tornado has been sighted in the area. Bede and Joanna are on the way to the airport to pick up BJ's luggage. He is stuck in Dallas due to this horrible weather. I just spoke to Joj, they made it. She said they drove very slowly nd went thru water that I'm sure was too high and dangerous.
This room has a smoke detector like thing that began beeping and warning of a tornado in the area and to seek cover immediatly. It sounded very official and looking at the radar on the tv and computer...I believe the voice from beyond. Unfortunately there are no basements here. I am on the ground floor and in an interior room. I've got my computer and my purse and cell phone. I've got the bedspread from the bed as well as a couple of pillows. That's all I can do for now. I will sit and wait for the all clear.
The thunder and lightening are non stop. What a trip. What a day!
I'm going to check the weather page. Love you all. I'll let you know how this all turns out.
