Heavy Heart today




I never knew this little boy. But my heart is breaking for him today, rejoicing only in the fact that he is in a better place. For those of you not from this area, he was a special needs boy that was left to die in an overgrown area near a lake in North Texas. He was 28 pounds. He had a feeding tube. He couldn't walk, talk or hear. He was the size of a 3 year old. He was left by his mother and father (who is a Marine) to be cared for by his grandmother. I GUESS it became too overwhelming for her to care for him so she abandoned him! For 3 days he lay waiting to die -

Is this what our society has come to? A selfish father and mother not wanting him - and a grandmother who felt like she was being "punished by her daughter to care for the special needs boy!" Another account I heard what a man saying he was so retarded he didn't really know he was left there to die "probably" didn't even feel anything! Our world has become so evil that I can't even fathom what thoughts go through these peoples head! It sad that his father is a Marine - how can he hold such a honorable title?? If this is how he treats his son, I surely don't want the same character fighting for my freedom!! I can only pray for the parents and family of this boy because if I think on my own, it isn't a very "Godly". Thank GOD He will have revenge in store for them. And that they will stand before His judgement someday.....

Love / Hate reality



Gone are the days of the two piece bathing suit for this momma!!! All tankinis and dare I say .... a one piece.....
Good news is that I found a really cute - camouflaging suit yesterday that I loved at the first store I went to - without intending on looking for a suit yet!! The bad news... my Butt?!?!?! If that is what you want to call it, more like Continent. Yes US Jess Butt! I've been so anti-work out since the whole craze of "training for a marathon" became the "in" thing!!!! Sorry to all my friends who do --- which are ALL of you pretty much! But I wasn't jumping on that bandwagon. But I should have stuck with something! Mr and Mrs Lunge and Squat was kicking my butt this morning, laughing the whole time! How can you HATE something you need so much?

Needless to say I am back at my normal routine of exercise and eating right so I can walk out in public in my new suit!!!

Things I love?

a. NOT US Jess Butt
b. my new suit, if I get to wear it!
c. wine, which I will miss!
