Thing 4 was in time out today b/c he hit Thing 5. I know. Poor little Thing 5. Needless to say, he was *very unhappy with me.
But that’s OK because I wasn’t very happy with him at that moment either. And this is what he says to me.
Thing 4: You’re mean mommy. I want to run away. Can I run away today?
Mean Mommy: No, you can’t run away today. You have to be 18 to run away.
Thing 4: Oh…Well…then I’m gonna run away when I’m 18 cuz you made me be in time out today.
And all I could think was ” I’m SO happy he actually asked permission for something!”
Maybe I am a *mean mommy.
I’m not sure how well this post will be received. It might get me lynched. That’s okay. There is something on my heart that I feel I HAVE to say. Ya might not like it. You probably WON’T agree with it. You may even click right out and never come back. I can deal with that. Although that’s not exactly what I’m going for.
Obedience. Obedience. If One much ~greater ~than ~I prompts me to write a post, well…then I’m gonna write a post. I know who I want to please. And I know that even if I don’t understand the reasoning, it’s ALL GOOD. For the greater good. So I will happily and boldly obey.
My goal here is to help you see the TRUTH. But not mine. And not the worlds version of it either.
I don’t usually post about news/politics etc. It’s just not my thing. But I’m kinda making an exception. By now, we ALL KNOW what happened at Virginia Tech. How could we not. It’s everywhere. I’ve seen the news. I’ve read the posts. I know how you feel. I feel the same way. So I’m not getting into feelings. I’m more interested in attitudes. The attitudes of our hearts. It’s SO *not our place to judge, and yet…Has anyone done anything besides condemn this sick sick child? Like pray maybe. Because if not then….
You know what? I’m not going to go any further. I’m just going to sit back & let Him speak for Himself.
He says it SO much better than I could anyway.

- I agree with you that this guy was sick. From the little bit of the story I saw on the news (turned it off because I couldn’t handle it anymore) I saw that more than one teacher was concerned about his mental health & recommended that he get help. Unfortunately his actions up to that point, which consisted of writing papers about killing people, weren’t serious enough for action to be required. Sick as he may have been he was obviously competent enough to take care of himself at the age of 23, knew he had issues & should have gotten help for those problems. I feel for his family. I’m sure they are not only grieving his loss but also wondering how this happened to ‘their boy’ and I’m sure blaming themselves as often happens when loved ones are lost.
- Hey girl! Thanks for the post. Wonderfully correct. People seem to get so caught up in selfishness and zoom in on the wrong problem. Yes, the shootings were a problem. However, they were a result of a bigger problem. A heart problem. Possibly a problem that some of our fellow brothers and sisters ingnored. This young man needed Jesus…as do so many. He needed to be loved and befriended. Sometimes it’s just easier to ignore people than to bear their burdens….so fulfilling the law of Christ. I agree. Thanks for the post. I hope people read it and see the truth in the words, and maybe even feel a little conviction for ignoring and blowing off troubled and withdrawn people in their own life instead of trying to help and be a friend to them. Sorry its been so long since I have been on…I have felt very out of touch these last few days…hope to see you at my blog.
- I can only imagine how his family must feel. They are the ones that will be the hardest hit in the long run. Their name will live on in history. I once had a friend that would not give out his last name since it was Manson.
Posting what you have said should only bring people to read more of what you say. If they do not like it, then they are not the audience that you yourself would wish to speak to in person. Just my thoughts, Mark
They said WHAT?
