I have felt a few strong emotions this week about the planet we live on. Here is a sample of my disgust:
1. While watching Oprah this week, I saw 4 siblings get up and announce that they are gay, after which, the audience breaks out in applause. If I got on Oprah and announced that I was straight, would I get the same reception? How twisted is that?
2. Don Imus....I have had mixed emotions on this one. It is obvious that he said deplorable statements and should be sanctioned. When Rosie said last year that Christians were no better than Muslim terrorists, was there the same backlash? I chose to retaliate by turning off her show.
On the other hand...
I have been obsessed with Planet Earth over the last month! Watching the beauty of our world in high definition is breathtaking. Every creature has adapted to its surroundings with remarkable precision. It is one of those experiences where you wonder how anyone could dare assume that these miraculous sights could be formed by anyone other than God. We watch every Sunday night with the boys and marvel at God's creation.
In other news...
*We are finally getting our new carpet in today. We have been living in a bit of upheavel these past few weeks. Everyone has limitations. Mine is upheavel! I am ready to have beds and carpets back where they belong.
*Thomas is finally coming home today! He was supposed to come home Thursday, but Bryon had a case down near his parents today, so there was no point in making the long trip twice in a several day span. Thomas has never left me for so long, and I find myself just staring at pictures of him. I am counting the hours...
*Today is my nephew James's first birthday. What joy he has brought our family over the past year! We celebrated his birthday yesterday and he was so cute eating his cake and squealing over the fuss made over him. What a doll!

I agree with you, Elizabeth, on the first issues you mentioned. I can't watch much debate about because I get so frustrated about the double standard. Ugh!
Elizabeth, I have almost fallen off the face of Planet Blogger. So, I missed reading about ME's surgery! I am glad to hear that she is doing well, that must have been so hard for you.
I watched Planet Earth last night for the first time and was in complete awe and captivated by the sheer beauty and intricate detail God put into this world!!
Home life upheaval gets to most if not all moms. Especially those of us who appreciate calm and order. Glad ME is doing well. Glad Thomas is coming home. All momma chick's little baby chick-lettes are coming back together!
That's a good feeling!
