Today has brought more challenges, why did I expect anything different LOL, in spite of my disclaimer on my last post I seemed to have offended or upset some of my followers, let me reiterate that I am in no way directing my thoughts or beliefs to any one person or family.  I can only express what  I feel is right for me and my family. All I can do is teach my children right from wrong and protect them the best I can, and teach them to protect themselves when I am unable, I cannot and will not shelter them from the world, however I will teach them to stand up for what is right , even if that means standing alone. All of my children have a wonderful belief in the Lord and they know right from wrong and they also know how to deal with the immoral situations they come in contact with. I am not happy with the world we live in today, I am appauled on a daily basis at peoples lack of humanity, however these people are not going away, you just cant pretend they dont exhist, denial will get you no where, instead we choose to deal with these situations head on, we discuss things openly and honestly, because believe me we as parents can not always be there to protect our children, as much as I wish we could, so when the time arrises MY kids will know how to deal and resolve these issues. Unfortunately we do not live in a idealistic world so we must deal with it realisticaly.  however on a much brighter note I believe wholeheartedly that this world has alot of positive and wonderful things to offer and I encourage my kids to reach out and touch these wonderful opportunities. I look out my kitchen window each morning and see our horses frolicing together with their manes flowing in the wind, I watch Dalton fly through the sky on his dirt bike, I watch Aiden run through the back yard with a big smile on his face, I see Kenzie enjoy a good book, I watch Hunter and Avery ride their horses as if nothing else exhists and I know that this truely is a wonderful world we live in!!!!!!!!!!!! Life is Good, what a wonderful world it is that we all get to make our own decisions and no one person gets to decide our fate!!!
