I agree with Sarah. After they've been washed, I can't tell a difference as to which sock should go on what foot, never even thought about this before.

Isn't it ironic that such lousy diapers are called "Parents' Choice"? What a way to remind parents that they made a poor choice in diapers.

Target's rock, and so do Luvs.

This is completely not related to your post, but I just had to tell you one more time how completely beautiful your daughter is! That and every time I see her name I start singing this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHXZA_5XMJ4

Well, I agree with your post, first off. But here's Devil's Advocate.

A) Financial issues. The Bible tells us to use wisdom, and if the husband feels that the family is not able to properly provide basic necessities such as food and shelter for the children, maybe waiting to have kids is the right thing to do.

B) Relationship issues. The husband may feel that he and his wife are not in a place emotionally to be able to raise emotionally-healthy children. For example, if the wife is an alcoholic, addicted to drugs/substances, etc. The husband may want to wait to have children until issues such as those are resolved.

C) Health issues. If either the husband or wife are suffering from health issues that would make bearing and raising children too difficult for either/both spouses, the husband may choose to wait/not have children.

Clearly God can overcome any of the above obstacles mentioned, and in a normal Christian marriage without said obstacles (or even WITH said obstacles, depending on the circumstances), I don't think it's right for the husband to deny the wife children.

Excellent post! Still time to contact your Senators. Maybe we should contact the two Maine Senators and Mr. Spector!

Here is an editorial by Jonah Goldberg which speaks on the subject in his usual style:

Jeremy,
You and Lisa are amazing! Not many people would do such as you did... I wish I could say I would do the same but I think the truth is I would be a little nervous about it, especially with my children in the car. But you did, and that's awesome! I read your previous blog entry just before this one and I must say it applies so well to this entry...

Rescue the Perishing by Fanny J. Crosby (song background)

Rescue the perishing, care for the dying,
Snatch them in pity from sin and the grave;
Weep o’er the erring one, lift up the fallen,
Tell them of Jesus, the mighty to save.

(Refrain)
Rescue the perishing, care for the dying,
Jesus is merciful, Jesus will save.

Though they are slighting Him, still He is waiting,
Waiting the penitent child to receive;
Plead with them earnestly, plead with them gently;
He will forgive if they only believe.

Refrain

Down in the human heart, crushed by the tempter,
Feelings lie buried that grace can restore;
Touched by a loving heart, wakened by kindness,
Chords that were broken will vibrate once more.

Refrain

Rescue the perishing, duty demands it;
Strength for thy labor the Lord will provide;
Back to the narrow way patiently win them;
Tell the poor wand’rer a Savior has died.

Refrain

It's providence that you and Lisa passed this women when you did... I'm sure you have blessed her beyond words, and I too will be praying for Karen.

I love you Bro!

2008-11-07T13:34:00.000-06:00

As I read the new law, nothing is said about single parents. The law appears to explicitly prohibit minors from being placed in homes as adoptees or foster children WHEN the home has cohabiting partners who are not married. Obviously this eliminates homosexual couples in Arkansas and also heterosexual couples who are not married. This, I believe, is the intent of the law.

If someone is single/widowed, I don't believe this law has any bearing the way it is worded.

"AN ACT PROVIDING THAT AN INDIVIDUAL WHO IS
COHABITING OUTSIDE OF A VALID MARRIAGE MAY NOT ADOPT OR BE A FOSTER PARENT OF A CHILD LESS THAN EIGHTEEN YEARS OLD"

I could be wrong and, if singles are also excluded, then I would take issue with it.
