Tea Party

As a Conservative who associates myself with the "Tea Party", I find myself and my friends under attack in many contemporary TV shows. There is this notion that the Tea Party is violent and anti-cops...it couldn't be further from the truth. I resent the notion that I am anti government merely because I want government... to be limited and stop trying to replace my parents.

And...just because I am pro-life does not mean that I wish ill to the abortion providers or to those that are pro-abortion. I wish that all people could respect the sanctity of life, find healing for lost life, and live in a pro-life society. Instead of teaching our children to be careless and then mop up their "accidents" in an abortuary, why not teach them the consequences of their actions long before a life hangs on the line. It's time to give every child a chance at life and every prospective parent a chance to be a parent. There are many couples who would love to be parents and that can't get pregnant. Why not make adopting less expensive? We all know someone effected by infertility and someone who has had an abortion, wouldn't the ideal situation be for those two people (groups of people) to get together for the life of the child? Think about it.

Deeper Union/Deeper Worship

I feel God calling me to a deeper sense of worship. He is calling me to hear Him through out my day and to stop in answer to that calling. This morning He called me to the Rosary for some un-known cause. I was late in answering but I hope that my prayers have helped. Just a few minutes ago He called me to read, where I was standing. I read where St. Faustina said that once she had a "taste of Him" she would rather spend an hour of dryness at the foot of the alter than be a queen in the world. I asked Him to help me to desire that also. I want him to be first and foremost in my thoughts.
What an amazing Mom I could be if I heard His voice always. What kindness must I show my husband and children (child as of now) if I was constantly walking in His presence. Surely I would treat those around me with wisdom and generosity? I would think so. Living in union with him would surely be a greater witness to those around me than 100 sermons shouted from my soap box.
"Lord! Please let me be a witness to your truth. Help me not to turn people away from you but to turn them towards you by my actions. Oh, and Lord, limit my words to your words as mine have a tendency to come out wrong."
