I got this message today.
Kimberly, I love the name Eliza. I was in church one day and the pastor was talking about when parents lose their children, he was saying that God knows what he's doing, because if he let them get to an age of accountability, they may not decide to choose him, and since he's God he happens to know everything we do before we do it. If he took them home before they ever had the chance to make that mistake, it's just his way of saving them. In eternity all that will matter is weather or not we are with God. I hope that came out right.
No, it didn't, or maybe it did. I am not sure what the hell the point of this was. But it is highly offensive. Especially knowing Emerald. And what would this say for God. God saved Emerald from who? From me? What about free will? Does that enter into the picture anywhere?? I was so upset, I wanted to scream. I did email her back and she hasn't said anything yet.
I wonder if she will.
Then, after I get this, the water company comes to my door, and tells me they didn't get my payment. They aren't even far away. I sent them payment. On top of the $10 extra for the late fee, now I have to pay the $20 collection fee, and $30 overdraft fee when payment #2 hits my account. And my bill was only $24.00. If I would have made the payment by internet, it would cost me $8.00. Why? Because it is less work for them to take internet payments? My phone company offers a $1.00 discount on my bill if I pay them online. But to make a payment to the water company, I have to pay extra.
Let's hope the rest of my day, goes a bit more smoothly! Because I am totally on edge and annoyed today.

Yes, definitely think before you speak -- good advise for anyone with their head shoved up their asses. I am completely offended for you! WOW! How obtuse!!
As for the water company. They suck too.
I swear some people have no tact what so ever.
I hope you have a good,uneventful weekend.
oh, kim, i am never suprised by the narcissim and naivete from some christians! anyone who knows anything about "god" knows that "he" gave us free-will to make decisions like that, so for a supposed 'christian' to say that he kills our babies to stop them from making bad decisions is so ludicrous and paramount to being sacriligious! that was supposed to make you feel better somehow, i guess... anyways, glad to see youre blogging a little these days...

I think the best way to respond to people like that is to tell them that you're sorry for them and you'll pray for them.
Sounds like you've got some good news, congratulations, I hope the sick phase is short-lived.
I'm feeling selfish and burned out, I'm tired of thinking about brain tumors and kids with serious diseases, I'm ready to move on, to a world where kids don't get sick and die.
For us this started in 1994, it's going on 12 years now, it's a neverending nightmare.
I know how blessed we are to still be fighting this fight.
We have our own water company story, but I'm already writing a book in your comments so I'll stop now :-)
