Support Their Dreams

So we're pushing the envelope a bit more around here, and I just came across something that I think is sure to get people talking. Here we go.

Illegal immigration has definitely been a hot-button issue in politics for some time now. And I'm not here to debate in general the pros and cons of naturalizing people who illegally crossed the border in the hopes of a brighter future. What I do want to do, though, is consider a narrower issue: What should happen to the children of illegal immigrants?

Are We Really "Born This Way"? (1 of 2)

I'm beautiful in my way, 'cause God makes no mistakes,

I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way.

And now for a nature/ nurture presentation from our sponsors. LOL.

Seriously, I decided to write this post today after having read an article posted on Facebook and the comments that followed. The article was about a father's support of his "gay" 7-year-old son. Heartwarming, right?

Not to some people, of course.

A Song for my Girls

I loved this song when I was younger, simply for its music. But I recently heard it again and, now that I’m a parent, found it to be a very sweet, very meaningful wish for one’s children. So this is for my girls, Kelsey and Anna, with love.
