In Dreams


..I go to the English country side with Dean. We stay in a bed and breakfast, we go to the Kilns, where C.S. Lewis lived and I get to tear up walking around the house where my hero lived and worked.

Then we go to the Bird and Baby pub (AKA The Eagle and Child) where we order a Pint, I try it, but dark brown beer is not my forte so I just hold it, thinking about the fact that CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien sat here, drinking pints with the Inklings, reading to each other what they had written. I imagine Tolkien reading section of Lord of the Rings.

Then we go to Oxford and Cambridge to visit the places where they taught and we go on a walking tour of the English country side. We drink lots of tea and eat biscuits. We don't watch any TV.

Heather Whittaker and her husband Carlos just went to England on a vacation for their 10th anniversary. I looked at her pictures from her trip and I teared up.

I hope and pray one day I get to actually go and instead of pictures posted here that I uploaded from online sources, I will be able to post pictures here that I actually took.

There are few places in the world that I really want to go to before I die, few things I imagine would be so refreshing and relaxing, for now I go there in dreams...

Gay Adoption

Image
This week our Louisiana state senate was presented legislation that would allow both partners in a homosexual relationship to be named as a parent in an adoption of a child . pro-family and political Christian organizations were at the capital "fighting for traditional families" And they won, the law expansion was not approved. I'm all for free speech, fighting for what you believe in, so they have a right to speak out if they feel so led. I don't know every person that was at the capital fighting against this law expansion, but I do know many of them, and of the ones I know, NONE of them have ever adopted. I would hope they had at least funded an adoption, are part of a mentoring program for children in foster care or something that helps orphans, but I don't know if that's the case either. I do believe from over 25 years of being a part of many pro-life, pro-family political action groups, that most of the people who are in these groups have no adopted

The Womb, Being a Woman and Baby Loss

Image
 Chrissy Teigen and John Legend lost their baby last week and the hateful, pro pre-born baby crowd came out in full anti-Christ form to attack a grieving family. The adrenaline rush from the hate filled comment section on their social media will be their reward, I won't give them any more attention. No, in this post I'm going to talk about womb issues, empathize with a grieving family and share my story. From the time I was twelve until I had a hysterectomy at age forty I dealt with excruciating pain at the beginning of my periods most months due to Endometriosis. It also caused me trouble getting pregnant and caused me to have a horrific pregnancy. My doctor said he was surprised I got pregnant at all. After we had Evangeline I wanted to have more kids so we tried mild fertility pills which made the Endometriosis worse. There was one point during the treatment when my period was late so I took a pregnancy test and it was positive. I was so excited. All the pain and fertility t

Holding the Snake by His Head

Image
I had a dream this morning, it started out with me standing in the front yard of my childhood home holding a rattlesnake's mouth shut with my thumbs on top, four fingers on bottom. He was glaring at me with eyes that said "let up your grip and I'll strike hard and fast" I was walking out of my house into the yard with him just'a twitching and flailing around furiously. There were other people around me but I couldn't make out their faces ( you know how dreams are) but I was holding it and trying to figure out how to kill a snake when you're squeezing his mouth shut with your hands. Should I hold him high above my head and throw him like I'm tossing a basketball back in play? No, I can't throw far, he'll probably fall on my head and bite my neck! Should I have someone cut his body off while I'm still holding his mouth shut? Should I get someone to stab him in the head, between my thumbs, risking my hands getting cut? Oh lord, what am I go
