Don't mess with Texas
Boarding the dumb-fuck train with Missouri is Texas, where the state government is proposing a bill that would require women seeking abortions to have a sonogram, have the doctor describe the physical characteristics of the fetus, and listen to the heartbeat.

Youth Group
We have a youth group meeting tonight at church. I have a book I'm supposed to be teaching from (so that we get funding under "Christian Education") but I talked to the Pastor and I'm going to be deviating from the book tonight.

Way to miss the point
Yes, thank you Missouri. Your new law requiring that women be told that "abortion will terminate the life of a separate, unique, living human being" over and over again will surely be a turning point in our lives.

The start of Armaggedon was just another day, we all saw the news nothing to say... And we don't know why the Innocent die, will this world ever find a way to change?

I don't know why September 11th always affects me so much. I didn't personally know anyone who died. But standing there, watching it on tv while it happened just miles ( Read more... ) -
Grefrugenal
It's been about a month since my last grefrugenal post. I looked back to my first one and am kind of impressed with how far I have come in just a few short months.- I went from buying lunch 5 times a week to bringing my lunch to work 5 times a week.
- I bring my lunch in a re-usable bag and containers.
- Coupon clipping is a normal part of my weekly ( Read more... )
