Sioux Center, Iowa. Sometimes I love you. Sometimes I hate you. Why must there be so many judgements? So much cruelty?  We all know that no one has the perfect life, relationships, kids.... So why pretend? Instead of pretending, wouldn't it be better to work together, ask for help, and build each other up to improve our lives in our community? My heart hurts tonight. Why bring your hostility out on my child? If, in fact, you don't like ME, that's a-okay. But to bring my child down because of her parents?  No. This is not okay. I will fight until my dying breath to teach my child to love. To have grace. To build UP instead of bring others down. What is the point of living if you are striving to reach perfection that is absolutely unattainable?  What disappointment and a lonely life this shall be. Please my Christian friends, remember that LOVE and GRACE are the two very most important things in life. Christ has continued to show both of these to all of us no matter our situation or number of mistakes we have made. I pray that our community may grow like fierce with these features. Until then, I myself will strive to do this myself. My friends. We can do this. Let's continue to encourage each other every day. Our children deserve this. Love my children as Jesus loves us all. Don't treat them like dirt. They are SO much more in my and God's eyes. The end.
Peace.
