My Son Questions God's Existence!

This is latest revelation concerning my son Dylan who has always been somewhat of a different child.

Upon hearing this there was no initial shock or need to change my son's mind. There was no urge to fall on my knees and pray for the saving of my son's soul. Probing his mind was the only thing I felt I needed to do. The brain/mind is the most underused organ and I for one was glad my thirteen year old was using his. He has the ability and inalienable RIGHT to question and not just take what someone else says and holds it as his own belief. Although he is a child, he is not a fool.I look to all my kids as humans and him being a child makes what he thinks no less valuable than what an adult says. Kids evolve much quicker than we did, and they are exposed to way more knowledge than we were at their age. He has always been an inquisitive child and so my way to delve deeper into his mind was also to be just as inquisitive. I wanted to know what led to this thinking? Why did he feel like there was no God? I wasn't surprised when he answered me back in full sentences with very well thought out responses. He also had some questions for me that I could not answer. Yes, I could very well give him my experience, but why would I do that? In order to truly know what faith is, you must experience it for yourself. I can explain what MY knowledge of God is, but after that explanation, that is who "I" think God is. He said the bible makes no sense to him. What was I to do curse him and and consider him evil because he questions the validity of a book that has missing parts and pieces, a book that people used to undermine others with and justify all sorts of sin with? I as his parent still have questions that are unanswered so why would I expect any less of my child. I know that there is a higher power that exists beyond myself but is an inherent part of my being, but my child hasn't reached that conclusion and until he does, I welcome him to ask any questions that he might have. There should be no shock or awe as to his questions. We need to learn a lesson from him and that is learn to form our own opinions and not be so easily swayed by what others say.

~Justice for Trayvon Martin~

Who looks more threatening?!!!


I was at Lassis Inn waiting on my dinner to come out while watching CNN. I was half paying attention to the headlines when I heard the story of " Trayvon Martin," being aired, it captured my full attention. I have heard stories similiar to this before but something about this particular story struck me in the pit of my stomach and tugged at my heart strings. My son is the exact same age of this young man and same height. As I listened to the details of this story, I found myself becoming angry. Since hearing about this story nearly two weeks ago, I am obsessed with the recent updates and details concerning this case. They know who the killer is, yet the killer of this 17 year old is still FREE. He disobeyed orders from the 911 dispatcher ordering him to stay inside of his car and not follow Trayvon. Instead, he gets out of his car and follows this young man even though police were on the way. Listen to the call www.orlandosentinel.com/videogallery/68871920/News/George-Zimmerman-911-call-reporting-Trayvon-Martin Clearly, the caller appears to be drunk, high or both. He is breathing heavy and slurring his words; the police should have been called out to check on his behavior. I don't believe Trayvon was a threat at all. There was just this vigilante who had something against black males and labeled this young man suspicious! He gunned down this innocent child who was not armed carrying only skittles and ice tea on his way back to his dad's girlfriends condo!!! I am appalled at the police department, and our justice system as a whole. There are witnesses who can attest to the fact this young man was screaming out for help prior to being gunned down like a dog! The police want to change up these witnesses stories. There are as many holes in this story as swiss cheese and in order for this story not to die and a hope of justice to be served, WE HAVE TO BE THE VOICE of Trayvon Martin that was silenced due to senseless act of agression that took his life! I don't want my son to have to deal with this type of social injustice and prejudice because of the color of his skin! When it comes down to it, that is what this was about. Local authorities refuse to arrrest this fool so you tell me what the issue is?! Please sign the petition and let your voice be heard. If it were child, cousin, nephew, etc you would want the world to stand up and defend your child.
