Standing in Holy Places

The theme of the Young Women's this year is Standing in Holy Places. But I think that goes for all of us. The world has gotten alot louder and alot more wicked it seems. I really haven't liked living in Boise, Idaho as much as I thought I would. I live by a bunch of foreigners who are loud and noisy all the time and their kids as well. This sweltering heat hasn't helped much. Plus their throwing garbage everywhere hasn't helped. And the water. If the manager's weren't too cheap to just water the grass more! I hate apartment living. Still looking for that perfect place to live. In Alaska it was just the drunken neighbors I had to contend with thinking they were so funny and cute throwing beer bottles and trash for someone else to pick up. I don't think I ever saw so many drunks as I did in Alaska. My niece Cindy is an alcoholic along with her husband Ken. Her entire life is wrapped up in getting another bottle. How sad. And she's mean and she's cruel. Alot of alcoholics are that way. And then I get tired of church women who keep calling me Debbie when I tell them my name is Deborah. How hard is it for people to call you by your given name? I don't think people take the time to listen anymore. And sometimes I just miss my mountains you know?

Fat women in America

I know being overweight or obese is unhealthy for us. I've been overweight for sometime now but not nearly as heavy as these poor ladies. I think being overweight is more of an "emotional" issue rather than just genetics or poor eating habits or not enough exercise. When I was in high school I was always told I was too fat and I weighed appromately 140-150 pounds and at almost 5 feet 7 inches tall that wasn't fat at all. I think the abuse of family members and my ex-husband and boyfriends caused me to gain weight more than anything. When you are beaten with a belt by a brother it causes emotional issues. When your sister screams at you all night long she hopes you become a prostitute when you are just 19 it causes emotional issues. Or when you are married and your husband constantly puts you down and calls you an educated idiot, that you can't do anything right causes emotional issues. I know this is why I've gained my weight. But again I'm on ano...

More and more homeless families and children in America yet President Trumps cuts foodstamps

I guess homeless families, and children, and growing poverty in America doesn't concern a billionaire president who just recently cut foodstamps for America's poor. One out of five children in America today are homeless and hungry yet the richest president in America's history has cut foodstamps more than 1/2 for the nation's poor. And most of them are children. Funny how our government can build new missles, new ships, build a Berlin wall, and help the refugees all across America and yet allow America's most vunerable to go hungy. Shame on you Donald Trump, shame on you!

Homemaking lessons

Back when I was growing up we all took Home Economics in High School; and we had Home-making lessons at church. We learned: Budgeting, sewing, cooking, taking care of children, cleaning house, etc. Some of our projects didn't turn out so well. In church we were taught that having children was the most important role of a woman until you had kids who looked like this: Some women have just given up and have given their kids this for dinner. And we've told the kids to clean up their own messes! We tell our lazy no good husbands to get a job for a change!
