Two stories this morning: one leaves me in dismay and one leaves me heartbroken.
The first story comes from Arizona – yet another interview with a person who would only allow the reporter to film their feet because they are in the United States illegally. The person was crying because they have the right to be free. Problem with that is in the United States, a person that breaks the law does not have the right to be free. I am weary of listening to illegals cry about Arizona’s new law as if they are victims – they came here illegally, they are not victims.
The second story comes from Texas. A mother strangled her two children (ages 5 and 2); one is dead and the other on life-support. She strangled them because she wanted normal children (both “apparently” had language disorders and possible autism). As the mother of a child with a severe language disorder, this story bothered me more than usual (and that’s a lot). My heart breaks for these little ones who did have the right to be free and safe and loved.
The two children in Texas were victims, while the illegals in Arizona (and in every other state) gave up their right to be free when they chose to enter this country through a back door.

Well said, Kerry. It gets very tiresome to hear those who came here illegally and have no intentions of following the law claim they are the real victims. It reminds me of the scripture that says something about calling evil good and good evil. They have it completely backwards.
Hi Larry – One newscast I was listening to was interviewing the vice-mayor of Phoenix, and he kept telling the reporter they weren’t “illegal”, just “undocumented”. Wow, talk about spin!
Hi OneMom – it’s truly heart-breaking to read about the children in Texas with language disorders being victimized by their mother. I pray that the surviving child makes it. Stories like this are so sad, they’re hard to comprehend. I pray that you feel encouragement from the Lord.
Hi Susan – unfortunately the little girl (2 years old) died as well. It is very sad. I will never understand how anyone kills their own child – before or after they are born.
