Dear Lord,
I thought I'd write because you don’t seem to be answering the candles I lit at church or the holy hour that I spent last Sunday night. You see, I am looking for a job. I have filled out countless applications, submitted any number of resumes and have touted my various skills and talents in cover letters and letters of introduction. Still, the phone doesn’t ringAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03066625820006128723noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5607431810516196537.post-62724394234483151102013-08-21T14:05:00.000-05:002013-08-21T21:42:21.811-05:00A Housewife's Prayer to Find a Job
Dear Lord,
I thought I'd write because you don’t seem to be answering
the candles I lit at church or the holy hour that I spent last Sunday night. You see, I am looking for a job. I have filled out countless applications,
submitted any number of resumes and have touted my various skills and talents in

I have a rant that I just must get off my chest. It’s this: how can three BRAND NEW rolls of
PLUMBER’S TAPE (PTFE thread seal tape) disappear from my house?
In the past few days, I have run into untold rolls of plumber’s tape
while attempting to find real tape in my house.
Plumber’s tape, for those of you who are not familiar with
do-it-yourself plumbing, is a plastic Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03066625820006128723noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5607431810516196537.post-66200871631116247342012-12-18T21:55:00.000-06:002012-12-18T21:55:16.367-06:00How to Help Kids with Asperger SyndromePeople have asked me what needs to be done to help kids with Asperger Syndrome. One positive thing that we can do is to donate to organizations that help autistic kids. The Purple Cow Farm in Wichita, Kansas, has done wonders for Robby, but it needs your help to continue its excellent work. Please consider giving a monetary gift to this wonderful organization.

I promised myself I wasn't going to weigh in on the shooting, but I can't help myself. This kid, a kid with Aspergers, similar to my own son committed an evil act...he was not evil, he was sick. Throwing money at the mental health problem will not change that, neither will better gun control.

My son, Robby, identifies more with the gunman, Adam Lanza, than he does those frightened children or their parents.
