Our new puppy Bella.

Like five kids weren’t enough-we added two puppies to our brood. This is Bella, a 5 week old Poodle-Terrier mix. She is so tiny! This was her first outing.

 

Bella! That key chain is too big for you!

Waay cool-Shuttle landing at Edwards Airforcebase in California.

I was doing dishes in the kitchen with my husband in Porter Ranch, Ca. All of a sudden we heard a BOOM-boom! It shook the whole house, and we ran outside. We thought that something fell on the roof, maybe part of the house caved in? Lord, I was shaking a bit and we looked up and saw a streak in the clear blue sky. It got closer and closer, and getting bigger and bigger. “that was a sonic boom!” I told my husband as I turned on the tv. breaking news the Shuttle was landing at Edward Airforce Base in California. Upclose photo’s of the Shuttle as it was coming into land. 

 

I took these photo’s of the streak in the sky, and the joy it was to watvh all of our Astronauts coming home safe. Bravo! It was a touching moment. Thank God they came home.

 

The sonic boom, then this.

Little Sarah’s story

Little Sarah’s story

By powerfulmothers

I was just sent this:

Sarah

My name is Sarah

I am but three,

My eyes are swollen I cannot see,

I must be stupid,

I must be bad,

What else could have made

My daddy so mad?

I wish I were better,

I wish I weren’t ugly,

Then maybe my Mommy

would still want to hug me.

I can’t speak at all,

I can’t do a wrong

Or else I’m locked up

All the day long.

When I awake I’m all alone.

The house is dark

My folks aren’t home.

When my Mommy does come

I’ll try and be nice,

So maybe I’ll get just

One whipping tonight.

Don’t make a sound!

I just heard a car

My daddy is back

From Charlie’s Bar.

I hear him curse

My name he calls

I press myself

Against the wall.

I try and hide

From his evil eyes

I’m so afraid now

I’m starting to cry.

He finds me weeping

He shouts ugly words,

He says its my fault

That he suffers at work.

He slaps me and hits me

And yells at me more,

I finally get free

And I run for the door.

He’s already locked it

And I start to bawl,

He takes me and throws me

Against the hard wall.

I fall to the floor

With my bones nearly broken,

And my daddy continues

With more bad words spoken.

“I’m sorry!”, I scream

But its now much too late

His face has been twisted

Into unimaginable hate.

The hurt and the pain

Again and again

Oh please God, have mercy!

Oh please let it end!

And he finally stops

And heads for the door,

While I lay there motionless

Sprawled on the floor.

My name is Sarah

And I am but three,

Tonight my daddy

Murdered me.

 

There are thousands of kids out there just like Sarah.

And you can help. It sickens me to my soul, and if you just read this and don’t pass it on I pray for your forgiveness, cause you would have to be one heartless person to not be affected by this email. And because you are affected, do something about it!!

So all I am asking you to do, is take some time to send this on and acknowledge that this stuff does happen, and that people like her dad do live in our society, and pray for child abuse to wither out and die, but also pray for the safety of our youth. Please pass this poem on as a Blue Ribbon Against Child Abuse because as crazy as it might sound, it might just indirectly change a life. Hey, you NEVER know.
