Yesterday was made perfect with the addition of our eldest son who came home after being out of our lives for more than a year and a half. Yes, he was in a correctional institute, but that I don't believe is too different from a lot of other people. We were none less happy to see him and share time with him; but here is where the real rubber meets the road... after the joy of the party fades, will he get involved in making his life a better one so that he'll never have to go back that way again.
We've all seen the statistics, where 75% of the people who are released are soon resigned to even more time with the corrections department. Where people who were once on drugs return to the very thing that they wanted to get away from. Well, I am praying for him (my son) and I pray that you'll pray with me if you read this. His life will change. He will become proactive in keeping his life busy and challenging, and he will not become just another statistic. I know that it's possible.
More than 10 months ago now, I quit smoking. And after more than 30 years I just put the cigarettes down. Well, just like I was delivered from smoking by a power greater than myself, lets' call Him "Jesus" my son can be delivered. I pray continually for his well being, but even more, I pray that His mind will be free to believe that he can make a better life.
While at my other son's house, I had more time to spend with my grandkids. And my newest granddaughter Anyiah. It's so great. Then of course, I had to come home, but that's part of it; they don't come home with me, and I still get to enjoy my peace and quiet and listen to the news when I need too.
Which reminds me to say, "What the Hell!" AIG handed out more bonuses on the taxpayer? Did this really occur. These men are really untouchable. And not in tune with the plight of their own employees. Of all the greedy, arrogant moves that they could do. They run a company into the ground, and then they feel that they deserve a bonus???? OH GOD! !!!::;))**&)*&)*&)*&)*&()*J;L12KJ34;LK4J; f#*k! I cannot believe this, and I am losing my words. I am so upset. We should just all be so upset we don't go to work, don't put gas in our cars, don't shop for anything... we should bring this frickin country to a stop. They'll see then.
