knotted

You stand there, all tied up with knots, you stand there hopeless, saying that you don't know what to say or to start, your whole life is knotted up with horrible knots.. and you want to reach for the scissors and end the string of events. You think the scissors are good for you and you push me away when you need a friend the most. I'm not offering a quick fix, or that it will get better soon, but I am willing to sit down and help you untie each knot. For as you look close at my hands.. you see each of my fingers is calloused and bruised from untying knots in my life.. you never know of who helps you with the knots in life... I never did.

Just another day on the farm,

Farm life always starts too early, no matter, if you went to bed at 3 in the morning, or 11 at night. This morning the sunshine came up way too early. But it has it's bright spots, there are the puppies, one of them charged and barked. it's kinda cute. We have a new calf, it's pure black and already it's ancy and jumping around. I'm applying for several more jobs, calling KSA up today and faxing in an application. It's still hard getting over the events of the weekend, I guess I will always blame myself. I'm the guy who is always prepared.. and I wasn't prepared enough. At least I have you, who helps me through the pain.

Parents Can lose the Right to be Respected and Honored.

Let me start this post off by clarifying. This post is just stating an exception. I am stating that there is an exception that I hope is rare.

In the Torah, the Pentateuch specifically, there are crimes that would result in death of the offender, sodomy, adultery, murder, trying to kill someone, etc. According to that, if a parent did any of those things, especially to his kids, he lost the right to live, which included the right to be a parent.
Now that I have established that biblical fact, we have the issue of today, where people can do those offenses and get away with it. My personal belief is that if a person does that, they still deserve to lose the right to life.
If a parent has done any of those things, in my chain of logic, they have lost the right to respect and honor.
Debate it if you want, it's clear to me.
