Moms are usually busy running around and trying to save the world. We are sometimes called to act like super-women with a list of projects and things that must be accomplished in one day. Do you ever stop to see what is going on around you? Well, maybe it is time you do. Life is changing in this country, little by little and day by day. The CHANGE Obama promised is beginning to show. Obama is seen in a video in November 2008 addressing the cheering crowds and saying that we are just days away from "FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGING THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA." The change he had in mind is so incredibly drastic that if left unchecked it could mean the end of Capitalism, which in turn would totally destroy the incredible sources of opportunity that have always made this country great. Sure Communism sounds good on paper ... and interestingly enough, it is being taught in many of our institutions of higher learning as a way to achieve equality among people. That sounds great, doesn't it?

I don't usually go on Jezebel, but I was on another site with a link to this story. This is pretty sick, in my opinion.

'Doctors told me it was against the rules to save my premature baby'
By Vanessa Allen and Andrew Levy Last updated at 7:58 AM on 09th September 2009
Doctors left a premature baby to die because he was born two days too early, his devastated mother claimed yesterday.
Sarah Capewell begged them to save her tiny son, who was born just 21 weeks and five days into her pregnancy - almost four months early.
They ignored her pleas and allegedly told her they were following national guidelines that babies born before 22 weeks should not be given medical treatment.

I posted about this a while ago, and the Court made their decision in favor of the white firefighters who were denied promotions. This ruling could potentially change employment practices nationwide.

I should have known I was asking for trouble when I chose Thomas as my confirmation name. Even at seventeen, I thought a sincere faith could withstand rigorous questioning. And I have always been a Catholic with doubts.
