[html] New Years Resolutions!
I think we should have a thread about resolutions.What we are resolved to do.Why we want to do this.andTo keep up on it and make sure we STAY resolved As many people, I tend to make resolutions that I never follow through on or I kind of drift away from when it becomes too hard. SO i thought a board on the resolutions would help keep those of us who stray, in check
Candace and I Heading to Chicago to Schedule Surgery
It has been a long road for Candace and the next leg of her journey is just beginning.. For those who have tagged along with us for this leg of the journey I wish to express gratitude for helping us. I must say that fund raising efforts have been painstaking, at times, yet it has all been worth the effort. Candace has learned a thing or two about perseverance and I have had my patience stretched to the limits, at times, and beyond! No pain, no gain.On December 4th, 2007, we will be going t...

Sometimes You Have to Let Them Go to Grow
Being a parent in this not so perfect world today isn't always the easiest thing to do. The majority of us teach out children as they are growing up some wonderful and everlasting values and morals that they can carry on throughout their lifetimes. Years later we overhear them passing on some of the things we taught them, and oh what a wonderful feeling that is.As our children reach marrying age, we expect the lessons we taught them to carry over into their marriages and families lives. ...

about "FORGIVENESS"
"Forgiveness is such an important part of our lives. When we can finally learn to forgive ourselves and others than we can truly be happy."LindaFrom "The Woman's Book of Resilience: 12 Qualities to Cultivate," by Beth MillerForgiveness is about letting go, really letting go of resentment and bitterness both personal and global. Forgiveness requires strength of character, it requires courage, a courage that needs to be replenished daily and rekindled when it falters. Forgiveness requ...
Ode to Mouse
This is a photo I snapped of my dad at his Memorial Day Weekend Party last Saturday night. Over 200 people were there at his camp before I left at midnight which makes me laugh because these days he doesnt make a bunch of phone calls or schedule a lot of bands. People just show up. In 1987 he had a birthday party that people still talk about today. Ten kegs were empty by the time I got there at ...

Mental Illness - Juvenile Punishment per State of Arizona - Who's the Criminal
What I am about to share with you is a true story that my friends have been battling for years. For the purposes of all they are going through in the courts, I am going to change their names. I have their permission to share their story with you. It's a story I definitely think needs to be told.I have known Jack, Gracie for approximately 25 years, they have become more like family to me than friends. All of their other children are either married or not living at home with the exception ...

ONE PERSON CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE - PREDATOR CAUGHT
I am sure that at some point in everyones lifetime we have each heard, "One Person Can't Make A Difference". ONE PERSON CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE! ! ! ! I HAVE SUCCESSFULLY PROVEN THAT TODAY. Sad story, but true is where this starts. In 1991 the man that molested my three children in the State of Arizona, was sentenced to 25 years in the Arizona Department of Corrections. I fought with a vengence, became more knowledgeable of the state statutes on child molest against a minor child the...

Challenges And Challenges To Come.
The challenges in life are always demanding and yes it is rough anyone who says they have it made or it is easy is very wrong. I personally have and still am enduring a life challenge right now. I have been in college for over 2 years and three months, I'm currently in Game Art And Design, mainly developing video games for systems, but this is all changing to quick for me, because over the few years of me loving my passion for games became hurtful and stressful. I had to do ...

This is a reminder of where I have come from......Being HOMELESS is not an easy thing.To be proactive with our communities is something I am currently working on.I believe that LA can take NY example and bring the support needed to make affordable housing possible.Locking up homeless is not the answer........

Re: ONE PERSON CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE - PREDATOR CAUGHT
Dear Dawn,Thank you for responding to my post and I'm sorry its taken so long to respond to you, but I had eye surgery.If you go to our site or here within our child predator board, we have many positions opened for people to help.

Re: ONE PERSON CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE - PREDATOR CAUGHT

Re: about "FORGIVENESS"
True forgiveness does not mean that the matter is not resolved. It simply means that the matter itself is the issue and not the guitly person or persons. Also it does not mean that their ultimate accountablilit y will not be death. This is subtly what I was saying about the creator himself. He will always love, forgive and forget however he will always also do the right thing and respond to the extent that is necessary. I clearly understand what you are saying PEDx. However on the other hand ...

Re: about "FORGIVENESS"
This is a very interesting topic and I've encountered many discussions, articles and blogs about it over the last couple of years. A lot of it is thought provoking and well reasoned and there was a time that I actually thought about it quite a lot, but you know, I always, always come to the same conclusion; I simply don't agree!!Now please, before you bring forth those feelings of outrage, give me the chance to explain why. About a year ago I read a blog by a nice lady and it was all about f...

Re: about "FORGIVENESS"
This post is outstanding. Forgiveness is far too often undervalued and misunderstood.At 1 John 4:8 we are told that 'God is Love'. This LOVE was translated from the Greek word Agape'. This LOVE was unconditional. It is not contingent on anyone or anything. It is a LOVE of principle. This is exactly the kind of love it takes to extend true forgiveness. This is why God is so merciful and it is why he can exact judgement on those he loves. As far as people being fogiving I have tried to train ...
Re: about "FORGIVENESS"
true forgiveness is sometimes the hardest thing to give. Its easy to push away any pain and forget WHY your upset, but to truly forgive is sometimes very hard but is always needed. Grudges are no way to live life.
Re: MENTOR's WANTED
This mentor program is in the works. As for your site do promote it here and see what happens. You can help people here anytime! Just look for them.
Re: A glimpse into my life
yes we do.It is not always the count that we have to change. Except the way we react to what people say. Words will always hurt, but some won't hurt at all or will be less of a sting if you try.The changes in our lives can not come quickly enough for some people. That is there burden not ours. Let us continue to move forward and grow and become the men we should be!
Re: A glimpse into my life
That's awesome. Especially the part, "I know what it is like to not be accepted by people." I think that's something we all need to recognize and lean from. I know I need to do a better job at dealing with those who don't accept me, because I think we grow a lot from that.

It was my innermost thoughts of wanting to help others since the day we walked through our nightmare. I am blessed and honored that today, I can be there for others and help law enforcement capture these people, even if it is one by one.There is no thanks needed really, If I didn't do something for others at this point, I don't think I could live with myself knowin...
Re: ONE PERSON CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE - PREDATOR CAUGHT
I have to applaud you for your dedication of standing up for these children. I and my sister were victims of an uncle when we were very small, and of course none believed us until he was caught in the act. Even then my family chose not to press charges. by the time I was 23 He was arrested and being prosecuted for molestation of a minor, possessing child porn and abuse of a minor with intent on 3 other children. I opted to serve as a character witness against him. It took almost 20 ye...

Re: MENTOR's WANTED
that is a wonderful idea! I started a group on myspace with the same thoughts. That people who are all in similar jobs, written words, would come together and could supoport each other, and maybe help out newcomers to the proffesion.

I too believe in you my friend. You are amazingly correct, life is a long and never ending lesson. Me, personally I'm afraid to take a break because I might miss something. You humble me with your positive words, and for that, I'm blessed.I wish you for you a most wonderful day also my cherished friend....

Profound words indeed Sher. I love the first paragraph and in particular the sentiment behind the last line because I can relate totally. Your attitude is an example to us all and for the record I believe in you too.It's odd that I came across this when I did because I was thinking along similar lines the other day and you know, I came to realise this:I know nothing about a great deal, and a little about a lot,but then again,I know a lot about a little, and a great deal about nothing.Lif...

Re: A Story of Love
Thanks for sharing this event with us. Truly inspiring. We need things like this to remind all of us to think what we can do and not what we can't do. The EMT's were well aware of the details of why you wouldn't stay but that did not deter them from figuring out something they could do!
Re: A Story of Love
Dear Aunt Nonie,What an incredible story you shared with us. There are many things that I can personally relate to in your story. I also at one point in my life was in an abusive relationship, only difference is you seemed to know quicker to get out then I did.I will forever hold your story close to me. I also live not thinking of what I can do for myself, but what I can do to make someones life a little brighter each day, and sometimes those things have not a thing to do with money.I l...

Well Sher, I too wish there were more of me, but then again I guess God had a perfect plan when He created only one of us! I honestly don't think I could live with another of myself (LOL).

As T0V shared he and I work with Bryant to ensure that places like myspace and cherrytap are safe. We need people like you who have faith and boldness to do what it takes to help us. We are all in it together! Thank you for following your gut and sticking to your faith. One less predator on the net is a battle won.Jen

Re: ONE PERSON CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE - PREDATOR CA

You will find your nature, your gifts and your life dreams, they will show up inspite of others and their opinions as they say opinions are like ... everyone has one.

Re: Does happily ever after exist?
I am always amazed when someone shows such postive feelings and outlook in this very chaotic world we live in now. People tend to forget in our cyber, tech, lives, that there are green trees, and pretty purple flowers. That the river speaks to you, and the wind whispers in our ear. That is what I got from your message. Good for you, keep it up.
Re: Does happily ever after exist?
This is my first reply to a posting as I thought it was something very close to my own heart. I personally believe in happily ever after... but at the end of the day you'll never know until you're at the end of your life and you can look back and see wether or not it was happy. It is a romantic notion and its a matter of personal belief whether or not you have that romantic ideal or like my partner, it as been seriously soured by previous relationships. I think some people are torn quite s...
Re: Challenges And Challenges To Come.
Great read here, I can relate to you my friend, but when someone says you don't have what it takes, just smile at them politely and give them a hand shake, because you do have what it takes and your opportunities in the world are endless don't ever forget that.
