Isn't it odd how one simple song can transport you back in time as if you were literally reliving a particular moment all over again.
Sometimes it's a happy moment, sometimes sad. Sometimes it marks a season and shows you how far you've progressed.
Sometimes it's a melodic land mind which reveals that you are not nearly as far from that moment as you thought were.
At the same time there's a certain comfort in knowing that those emotions are just one track away.
Here's my latest rekindled ruin:
What's yours? What moment? What song?

My Post Secrets
Sometimes my anxiety feels like it's bigger than my God. I'm sorry Jesus.
My children make my life worth living. That's a lot to put on them. I really hope it doesn't screw them up one day.
Every time you try to comfort me by saying 'I would never have an affair, I'm not that type of person.' It reminds me that I am.
Sometimes it feels like my purpose in life has ruined my life.
Since when did it become ok to replace the phrase 'Congratulations on your pregnancy!' with 'So, is he going to get a vasectomy after this one?' Frankly, that is none of your business but thank you for letting me know how offensive my blatant reproduction is to you, A-hole.
I never want to have a supernatural experience. ever.
and finally...
When I was 14 a boy from my school, that I didn't know, died. I wanted to fit in with all of the other kids who were crying so I went to the bathroom and put red lip liner on under my eyes. It worked.

We're Not Republicants; We're Republicans!
Justice Foundation Dinner, April 17th, 2008 with Norma McCorvey (Jane Roe) in the middle
Board retreat January 2008..I look like a defector...(:
Polygamist Bunny
Let me start off by saying I in no way condone having more than one wife or impregnating 14 year old girls. This behavior is simply not expectable.
That being said I don't know if any of the young girls rescued from their Mormon temple in West texas last week should necessarily be chalked up as a 'save' just yet.
Evidentially this temple in El Dorado was one of the most sought after by their believers, and only the most righteous were allowed to reside within its walls. Many of these children were taught scriptures from morning until night and constantly warned against the hedonism existing just outside their pious community.
So, my question is, will we prove them wrong?
If you live anywhere except under a rock I'm sure you know the answer looks grim. Yes, we do have laws that prevent old perverts from sexualizing young girls...how well they are enforced though is anyone's guess.
In the state of Texas, teens under the age of 16 legally cannot have sexual intercourse, under the age of 18 legally cannot have an abortion without parental consent, and under the age of 18 legally cannot be spread eagle on the hood of a Camaro in playboy magazine. So technically, yes, we certainly have saved these precious young women....at least for now. They have a good 4 years to be completely re-brainwashed and indoctrinated into the ways of our world; their savior. Lucky them.

Artsy Fartsy Pt.2
This is the bogus b.s. I was referring to in Pt.1:
Student Gives Herself Multiple Abortions For Her Art Project!
When I first read this story I honestly thought is was some kind of sick joke, like something out of The Onion.
I have often said nothing shocks me anymore, and I keep getting proven wrong.
Aliza Shvarts, an art major at Yale University is using abortion as part of her senior art project. She is not just using abortion, but her own purposefully induced abortions. Shvarts artificially inseminated herself as often as possible over a nine month period of time. During that time she would take abortifacient drugs to induce "miscarriages." Shvarts did all of this in the name of art, as she will display video recordings of her "miscarriages" along with blood samples in her project.
Students from both, pro-life and pro-choice groups on campus say their groups have taken no official position on the project. One student from the pro-life group did call it "surprising" and unethical.
How far is "too far"? I have to ask. I have to believe that even some of the most adamantly pro-choice people in this country would find this to be despicable. This world is going further and further down a road of total disregard for human life and it seems to have no end in sight. With stories like this one, and the fight in British Parliament to allow half animal - half human embryos to be made for stem cell research, will we finally say "stop"?
If this does anything, it gives us more resolve to continue the work we are doing at Stand True to bring an end to this culture of death. We know that we have a monstrous battle ahead of us, but we will not waiver or give up until every human person is protected and the sanctity of human life is restored.
