No, I am not talking about the computer, but rather about 'politically correctness'. Not that I have that 'gift'. Ha!
But what has happened to this world? I hear of a wife who's been having an affair for a few months now and she says she 'couldn't do anything against it - her feelings were just too strong!'
Too strong my butt!
Wake up world! It is NOT cool to start affairs, no matter what state that relationship is in. If he or she is married, RUN! Get out of there.
Oh, and as for your feelings... Well, control them! You're an adult! You can do that! So get over it and move on.
Why do we think it's ok to ruin relationships? And why is nobody else getting upset? Why is it 'PC' right now to just accept that 'true love' has struck and that 'feelings are just too strong'?
Frankly, that's a load of bull.
So please, stop being so politically correct and actually say something when you have friends who are doing this crap! And lets face it - you know someone who's doing this crap!
Rather let's help people and let's fight for strong relationships. It's not like Jesus was politically correct, so why should I be?

Adoption vs guardianship
The other week I was very privileged to be present at an adoption. It was my first time and it was very memorable.
The main part of the 15 minute ceremony is a list of questions:
That last question makes you think, doesn't it? When we talk about adoption it is permanent. There's no way out, you can't back out or change your mind.
This is it.....
Working with High Risk Students I sometimes wish that these questions would be asked of people wanting to become parents?
I've just witnessed the devastation that guardianship can have in a child's life. It is NOT permanent and at any time the child might hear these words:
The sad thing is, that I am not making this up. I heard those words come out of someone's mouth right in front of their child. His/Her security was gone that moment. What do you think went through her mind.
Guardianship is NOT permanent and I don't even know how this child will deal with what was said.
Looking at faith, I am SO glad that God adopted us as His children. It's permanent. He's stuck with us... It gives me security.
What are your thoughts?
The main part of the 15 minute ceremony is a list of questions:
- Do you believe this is in the best interest of the child?
- Can you provide for the child?
- Are you aware that the child will have the same rights as any of your natural born children?....
That last question makes you think, doesn't it? When we talk about adoption it is permanent. There's no way out, you can't back out or change your mind.
This is it.....
Working with High Risk Students I sometimes wish that these questions would be asked of people wanting to become parents?
- Do you believe THIS family would be in the best interest of your future child?
- Can you actually provide for your future child?
I've just witnessed the devastation that guardianship can have in a child's life. It is NOT permanent and at any time the child might hear these words:
'I am done! I have wasted 15 years with him/her. He/She treats us like crap and doesn't respect our home at all. And on top of that He/She is not even my real kid. It's just a step kid. I AM DONE.'
The sad thing is, that I am not making this up. I heard those words come out of someone's mouth right in front of their child. His/Her security was gone that moment. What do you think went through her mind.
