Jill Stanek's excellent blog. Barbara Curtis who writes the blog Mommy Life. She is 62 and lived through the '60's and may be able to shed light on some of the ideas that influenced your parents. She also, I believe, had an abortion she came to regret. (If you search her archives, she has a wealth of information about her past--all very interesting.)

Thank you so much for making this blog...Dear Coral,<br />Thank you so much for making this blog. You are very brave and wish you the best on your road to recovery. <br />I had an abortion last year. It was the hardest decision my fiancee and I had to make but we know we made the right choice for everyone. I don't regret it but the "opinion" of the catholic church as well as the "what will my family think" drove me to deppression my fall semseter in college. I have been questioning my faith 4yrs ago. I feel trapped, but reading your blog gives me hope that I can find a religion I can devote my life to. <br />When I read your blog I can relate to your stories. I too have thought of the Mary/Joseph scenerio as well. From my catholic background, I know the story too well. The way I see it is because Mary and Joseph are very faithful, they did not question God when he told them they were expecting Jesus. It's not everyday you see an angel talk to you in person/a dream. Does that make sense?<br /><br />Hope all is well and Happy New Year!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327329534175881649.post-36671932138171021702010-12-05T17:51:02.300-08:002010-12-05T17:51:02.300-08:00Mary ~

I see people compromise. I hear the compliments. I see the ways couples choose to spend their time and the list goes on. Regardless of your relationship began, your marriage serves to teach me a thing or two. <br /><br />1) You serve the body of Christ TOGETHER. I love that and I hope to be able to say the same of my marriage someday.<br /><br />2) You attend and participate in small group TOGETHER. This, along with other actions, shows me that Christ is the center of your marriage or at least you strive for Him to have that position. <br /><br />3) You open up your home and take the time to just sit and chat and be REAL with people. As time goes on, I think it's harder and harder to find people who will just take a moment to unplug, sit face to face, and chat without being ruled by an agenda or clock.<br /><br />Thank you for modeling these things for me. I truly appreciate it.Jocelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07912881400351468076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327329534175881649.post-34684646264457033382010-10-30T20:21:17.439-07:002010-10-30T20:21:17.439-07:00Forgiving ourselves is one of the hardest parts of...Forgiving ourselves is one of the hardest parts of recovery, and I do believe you are in recovery. Forgiveness of ourselves measures up in difficulty to the honesty with ourselves that it takes to get us there in the first place. In being honest with ourselves, or at least in my being honest with myself, when I have had to own my actions and the true affects they have had on the people around me it sometimes takes everything I have. Then, after the smack of that reality, somewhere I have to remember how God sees me?? He forgives me my transgressions not because I deserve it, but because he loves me regardless of them and isn't willing to lose a relationship with me because of them. I am Human and am short sighted, mis-informed and act in defensive behaviors because I am fragile. To love myself any less than the Almighty does means I am telling my God that he doesn't know what he is doing. He doesn't forget, but that doesn't mean he doesn't forgive and he is teaching me slowly that neither should I. I walk through everyday doing the best I can and remembering that I AM LOVED and I must love myself to truely experience a love from above that defies understanding.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327329534175881649.post-34538372431287392762010-10-30T19:46:57.691-07:002010-10-30T19:46:57.691-07:00Hope is in the form of a LOVING God who has never ...Hope is in the form of a LOVING God who has never been unhappy he created you.
