I just don't understand


I don't get it at all.  Maybe I need time to process is it all.  The church came out with two statements today.  One is that being a gay marriage is grounds for being excommunicated for apostcy.  The other is minor children of gay parents can not be blessed or baptized. 

The first statement I kind of get.  But if you are going to ex for gay marriage why not having children out of wedlock and a million other reasons I could think of. 

The second statement I do not understand at all.  Not even a little bit.  A baby can not be given a name and blessing because of who the parents are nor can they be baptized.  But straight people who are living together can have their child blessed.  If you have child with your boyfriend of the month who is long gone before the baby is born then that child can be blessed and baptized. 

If your parents are in prison for murder then  you can be blessed and baptized but not if you have gay parents.

Andrew turned eight yesterday and I am so thankful for him. He is become such a deep thinker and asks these amazing questions that I don't always have the answers to. The meds have helped slow him down but he is still crazy Andrew. We upped the medications and it was like he was on speed. He couldn't sleep and was kind of zombie like. Then there has been a few moments wher

The one you feed...

A few weeks ago Lee text me this story.  One evening, an elderly cherokee brave told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. he said "my son, the battle is between two 'wolves' inside us all. one is evil. it is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. the other is good. it is joy, peace love, hope serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith." the grandson though about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "which wolf wins?..." the old cherokee simply replied, "the one that you feed"  One I have heard 100 times but one that I needed at that moment although I didn't know it.  There have been several situations that have happened these past few weeks and I keep thinking of that story and I have to remind myself which wolf I am feeding.
