What was it like for the disciples of Jesus and those closest to Him as he died on the cross. Watching helplessly as He was beaten, mocked, and tortured. Think of how in His pain, Jesus looked down from the cross asking John to lead away Mary who had been His earthly mother. She probably could not bare to watch Him die. Have you had to watch someone you love suffer pain, illness, helpless to do anything to lessen their pain? Perhaps a parent, grandparent, child, or dear friend. You could do nothing to help them and watching them suffer was almost too hard. Jesus understands that pain and He had the victory over it when He arose from the grave. "O death where is thy sting? O grave, where is they victory?...But thanks be to God which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." Watching someone I love struggle beyond my understanding or ablility to help, I am comforted by these words.
I am starting my own blog to reduce my boredom and give me a place to put my thoughts. Recently some people I know put some very difficult words out for all the world to see. I have been chicken to do the same and now I want to set the record straight. I didn't talk to people from high school for over ten years. It seems so silly now. I found out recently that I'm not the only one who grew up in college and beyond. We aren't kids anymore so the past is just that the past. I'll admit some of it I don't want to remember, but we did have some fun times in high school. The truth is something happened to me that I was not at all ready to talk about so I just avoided people. I got married in 1998 to a really great guy I met in college. We were giddy and in love. We decided after nine months of bliss to have a baby. Why not? I was bored and we wanted one. That sounds terrible to say that, but it is true. Boom one month later I was expecting. Three months later Jo
