All Women are Born with a Disease!

Did you know, all of us, women are diseased and we need to be medicated? Our disease is given us at  conception when God's decision to make us male or female is manifested. We are ..... FERTILE!! I know, I know you are thinking, what is she talking about! But it is a sad truth that we are faced with as women today. Our fertility is viewed as harmful and inconvenient and we must be medicated immediately! From the time we hit puberty to the time of menopause, only to be unleashed if we so feel like we can take time out of our busy schedules to bring life into the world.
I made a statement today at lunch that I thought was going to get me exiled from the table but I feel it is true. If you feel like children are not for you, which they aren't for everyone, maybe you shouldn't get married. Marriage, as well, is not for everyone. Shocking isn't it, but God calls all of us to different vocations.
Prayer is much needed in our decisions for life, especially our vocation. There are lots of signs God gives us in the discernment of our life calling we just have to be patient and willing to listen.
If the idea of kids does not excite you, maybe you aren't called to marriage. If the idea of kids makes your world go 'round, stand strong! and hold out for that "perfect" man God has designed for you and for you alone. AND DO NOT LET SOCIETY TELL YOU THAT YOU ARE DISEASED AND THAT WANTING CHILDREN IS IRRESPONSIBLY (or any other of the ridiculous things that we are told).

New Age?

Lately it has become painfully aware to me how little we care of about others or ourselves. Regardless of whether you are at your place of business or someone else's. On the road or in your home (or someone else's for that matter). The customer is no longer right and we are told to trust no one.
We don't care, and it's acceptable, that we don't give anyone full attention anymore, and splitting your attention between the phone, tv or computer and an actual person is the norm. NO WONDER EVERYONE HAS ADD! Or ADHD or whatever it is called now. Used to be you'd have your kid go run around outside for a little while and then do what your told, now it's an excuse for anyone who would rather be doing something else... so they are day dreaming about that rather than the moment. Who wouldn't rather be doing something else? Grass is always greener right?
We have become a throw away society, and not just of goods but of people. We don't keep anything that's older than a couple of years and if you do, well what's wrong with you? We need the newest phones and electronics, all so we can throw away people. The more "social media" we "consume" the less social we are, and the more we watch tv the more we decide it's acceptable to be cranky and yell at people and be a diva.
I wonder what my kids will have to endure, what kind of society they will be faced with. It scares me a little to think about it. Hard work and determination, family and friends, are no longer cherished but discarded.
I wonder if we all got off FB, Pinterest (my new fav) and our blogs for just a few hours, dare I say half the time we spend of them now, how much of a difference it would make in our lives, our society.
