I can imagine you would, but then maybe their bad advice is what gave you the stiff backbone, to not let her go.

God had his reasons for creating her like she is. And God made her perfect for us.

I think that I honestly believe that we do not go, until God thinks the time is right, not when we do.

I agree.

I am fearful of a society that kills babies, because they may not be perfect.......as we know with Terri Schivago [sp?], it is not just babies.

So am I. How well I remember the Terri threads.

Yes, they pushed Scott on through school and gave him a diploma for finishing high school, but he tried and did earn it by trying, even if he was not an A student

She would have been awarded a certificate of completion rather than a diploma at the end of the 12th grade. That's the same thing she will receive when she's finished with the 12th grade at home.

Years ago, when I found myself down, I always read this little story, Welcome To Holland, by Emily Perl Kingsley. It's half way down the page.

Welcome To Holland

We all do what it takes to survive, that is our nature.

Very well said.

To: processing please hold

if you spend your life mourning the fact that you didn’t get to Italy, you may never be free to enjoy the very special, the very lovely things ... about Holland.<<<

How true.

I can understand how Welcome to Holland is a good picker upper, on those days a pick up is needed.

Thank you for the link, it is an interesting page.

The music and the brain is worth thinking about.

When the years add up, you will look back and be able to see that your life was real paths, steps that had you turned in another direction, you might well have been in Holland or any other spot, than where you were needed to be.

You are where God needs you to be and not at another place, where you would not be useful.
