I'm lucky in that someone in both branches had already done the work and written it down. That your grandmother knew the names clear back to the conquistadors is amazing! But then in olden times everything was preserved with the telling and retelling...even the bible. It's good that we can print things now, but I can't help but think we've lost something, too. My aunt (oooh, I am so mad at her) gave my great-grandparents' bibles to a cousin who was interested. He never thanked her or sent her money for the postage and insurance or anything....and knowing his branch of the family we will never see or hear of them again.Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06316595488903619354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3270727174871052805.post-70609171373526099862018-03-10T14:11:51.160-05:002018-03-10T14:11:51.160-05:00It does and it's something I've had to lea...It does and it's something I've had to learn or relearn. When you go through something difficult it's so easy to get sucked into a negative way of thinking that becomes your mind's go-to pattern. I fell into that over a period when our church fell apart (and we were given much of the blame), our marriage was not in a good place, our finances were in a BAD place, our son married a woman who seemed to hate us and they rejected everything about us, and our daughter went off the emotional deep end. Looking for the positive was impossible for me. I was lost to the pain and it took a very long time to crawl back out. I still catch myself sometimes and have to make myself find something to be thankful for and the more I do it, the easier it becomes. <br /><br />If my prayers had anything at all to do with your dog's recovery, then I am thankful for that. :)Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06316595488903619354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3270727174871052805.post-2588485340614126792018-03-10T14:03:14.641-05:002018-03-10T14:03:14.641-05:00I'm passionately pro-life, but I do believe ev...I'm passionately pro-life, but I do believe everyone needs to make such a decision for themselves. I loathe the "Christians" who stand outside of clinics and scream at the women going in and calling them murderers. I suspect that Jesus isn't too happy with them, either. He extended grace and mercy to those who sinned. He didn't condone what they did, but he did not heap burning coals on their heads. This is something too many Christians have lost sight of as they are "casting stones." Anyway, this clinic never denied that abortion was an option and they would discuss it with a girl. They just also showed her other options such as adoption or yes, raising the baby herself, but then they taught them how. They didn't shame them into keeping a baby and then leave them on their own to figure it out. Sometimes the best thing was adoption. Some girls really should not be mothers. But the best thing was that if a girl chose to have an abortion, she wasn't abandoned. They counseled her through that, too. There was real love in that place and many of the girls who were strippers didn't return to it.Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06316595488903619354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3270727174871052805.post-46217116992094752532018-03-10T13:14:53.138-05:002018-03-10T13:14:53.138-05:00I would LOVE online grocery shopping.

It’s quite hard to council a frightened and very young woman who is under such a burden. Good for you.<br />Thanks for the peek at your family tree. <br />My paternal grandmother and aunt were a wellspring of genealogy for me, and even knew names clear back to the conquistadors. Grandma’s Oral traditions were amazing for safe guarding ancestors. My Hubby recently was given his grandfather’s bible, and with my grandmother’s own bible notations, I learned some of his ancestral family names. <br />zippiknits...sometimeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17385498014336581117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3270727174871052805.post-74750943707444150712018-03-10T11:49:55.796-05:002018-03-10T11:49:55.796-05:00You know, there is a lot that can be said about yo...You know, there is a lot that can be said about your statement " I don't live in denial, but I try to look for the positive."

A woman (often just a girl!) can't make an informed choice without unbiased facts and options at her disposal and a quiet place to think. It sounds like you worked to provide that.

The clinic that I volunteer in now provides dental and other healthcare on a sliding scale but they are worried because of all the cuts in funding for healthcare agencies. Many of their clients have severe disabilities or are seniors living only on Social Security.Diana_CThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14223056441901730531noreply@blogger.com
