Let Me Let Go, Please!

As I mentioned in another post, I had a friend whose ex-husband re-appeared after an extended absence and wanted her to move back to her homestate with her son. I don't know the exact resolution of that yet, except that she and her son are still here. But there was a larger question in that piece of how to separate yourself from someone who keeps coming back for more.

Another co-worker of mine is now struggling with that dilemma. Her best childhood friend deeply hurt her and betrayed her five years ago. They haven't spoken or seen one another since. She has forgiven this friend but forgetting is far from another matter. Suddenly this friend is moving to town and called and left a voice mail asking if she could move in temporarily with my co-worker, her husband and child. My co-worker wants to show there is no ill will, but doesn't want to allow her former friend into her home. And, I agree with her on that. So, now, the decision is how to best let this person know, they need to move on. We've discussed a phone call, a letter, a message through a mutual friend. Nothing seems to be seeming particularly attractive. We know Jesus would be honest, but how would he communicate. Is it not strange to anyone else that in this world of mass communication we live in we cannot find effective ways to communicate with many?

Anyhow, it can still linger in my thoughts, why can't people take the hint sometimes? And worse, why, if they were the ones who perpetrated the fallout do they think that saying something like, "your still mad about that?" will help?

Civil War

This July 4th, our nation is at war. At home.

The battle that is waging is between those that believe and those that do not. Secularism and morality. We live in a country in which women are told they are allowed to kill their unborn children but if they choose not to, those children can be put to death by a jury of their peers. We live in a country in which people view money as a god than their true creator as God. We do not live in a godless nation, for everyone who believes knows that God is always present even amongst those who do not believe.

Happy Summer

Summer is happy around here. We have our best girl's birthday and her Daddy's too. We also have July 4th, an awesome holiday. We have trips to the beach, walks around the block, and when it's not too hot, a picnic in the park!

But, like the rest of the year, the best part of summer is we have each other.
