Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I still can't help to say its wrong. The last few days I have had a few conversations directed around convicts..specifically sexual predators. This might spring from the thought of becoming a advocate for victims of sexual abuse. I feel like this happens all to often in our society and not enough is being done. Then this got me thinking about a recent conversation between 2 people that I was listening to about social security and the whole public health care option. Although I do believe having universal health care is something this country needs. Anyways where I was going with this....
I am a very grateful American, but I would say in a very different way. I am grateful to be able to have food and water everyday, My children and I do not have to walk miles everyday to the watering hole(where often is needed for bathing, and bathroom breaks) for our water. Or my kids do not have to go hungry and wonder where their next meal will come from. I am also grateful that to an extent we live in a fairly safe country. My children do not have to walk miles into the city every night to escape being kidnapped and forced into sex slavery or forced to be child soldiers. But as Americans, we often forget that these things happen all over the world, everyday. As an American I cannot just blindly ignore these things. I cannot say that I hate immigrants in any way shape or form. There are many people who escape these hell holes for a better life here, and I do not blame them one bit. It is sad to me that there are so many people out there who think differently. One does not chose who they are born to or where they are born. We should all have the right to live the life that God gave us. People's free will should not destroy that but inspire it. Make the most of what you have and help the people who don't as much as possible. God will provide for those who sacrifice for their brother and sisters.

Blog Virgin

I have been inspired by a few people who I follow on this website. I have decided to start myself, hoping that it will have the same theraputic affect that journaling has.
Let me introduce myself, I'm Kerra a mother of 2 girls, a wife, . To say the least I'm hoping that through this blog I can help find myself again as I have forgotten who I am and have taken on other roles in my life. I am aware that we evolve as we grow but I have never felt so dysfunctional in my life.
God Speed...
