Words of Wisdom

“The events in our lives happen in a sequence in time, but in their significance to ourselves they find their own order: the continuous thread of revelation.”

Thoughts on the Octo-Mom


It seems that everyone has an opinion about the octo-mom, and most of those opinions are negative. One opinion I have yet to hear anyone mention is the fact that regardless of what you think of the mother, those eight babies were created by God and He has placed special purposes within each of them. Whether or not it is ethical that a doctor would implant so many embryos, regardless of the low statistics that all of those embryos would survive, the point is that those eight babies are human beings. Their lives are worth something. God allowed the process to work out, and those eight babies, along with their brothers and sisters at home, are all gifts from God and He has planned for their life to make this start from the beginning of time and their futures are in His hands.

I'm still overthinking

Holy smokes! I haven't blogged since October! I'm still overthinking though even though I'm not posting it on here! So much has been going on in my life. Since my last blog:

-I finished a semester of school;
-Enjoyed a month off for Christmas break;
-Started my last semester of grad school;
-Learned to speak, read and comprehend Middle English;
-Began an educational research project about the effectiveness of technology in the classroom;
-Worked, worked, worked at the newspaper to complete my typical work week as well as one magazine and four special sessions;
-Learned to single space between sentences;
-Visited the beach;
-Visited Greenville, SC;
-Took my Papa to (hopefully his last) 4 chemo treatments, as well as to the hospital for several bags of blood and platelets
-Had a stalker-filled Valentine's Day;
-Spent some quality time with family & friends;
-Realized that some people from my past choose not to be a part of my present and therefore probably won't be a part of my future;
-Went to a Southern Writers' Symposium which was very academic;
-Got the rest of my debt to Campbell paid off forever!!!

These are the highlights I could remember at this late hour. I anticipate the next few months being very full but hopefully I will blog more frequently than I have been over the past three months!
