My First Blog ...

Oh my I'm a little nervous.

Today I'm wondering about all those missing children. I cannot imagine being the parent of a child that just disappears. I think it strange that someone could be allowed to grow up thinking that a child is something you can borrow ... or take for good ... for their own use. A child is not a thing to use. What happened to this person that caused them to think they were entitled to such an act of selfishness? I wonder when and how they became desensitised to the rights of others and life its self. Throwing a young girls body in the garbage to be picked up by a garbage truck and dumped miles away in a landfill. WHY?

I read the book the shack and it left me reeling. I'm not recommending it nor am I condemning it. The thoughts that crossed my mind while reading it were staggering, too many to say. I was crying when I read the part about the treatment of the narrator by his father, the abduction of his little girl and the feeling of guilt the little girl's sister suffered from. I know this is fiction but not so far I'm sure from the truth.

It did make me aware of how this man views God. I think what if my child did any of those awful hateful things. I would probably still have love for him/her and pity; but the difference between God and I (there are many as you might guess:)) would be that I would feel guilty and blame myself in someway for not helping this child to understand the sanctity of life and the rights of others. God doesn't feel guilt. He gave us all the right stuff in the beginning to do good and walk in the light, but we (not Him) made the wrong choice. He had nothing whats so ever to do with it. I however, feel strongly that parents, teachers, clergy, and doctors are all part of a persons develpement and can be held responsible in some degree for how each and every one of us developes.

I'm wondering what people think of this and if they have any thoughts on my thoughts.
So have a great day. Until next time God bless you and all those you love ...
