A question I seem to ask again and again.

It's the time of the month. And it hasn't come yet. Or so I think it hasn't! I took two pregnancy tests already - excited... longing... anticipating... both showing negative to my dismay.

To tell you the truth, I have this nagging feeling I am :) 

Here's a funny quote I'd like to share. I got it from one of Sonlight's newsletters:

"Grandchildren are God's way of rewarding you for NOT killing your teenagers." --Cherry Limeade

I don't have a teenager yet, but when that happens and I'm at my wits end, I will definitely remember this! :D

This photograph was taken and manipulated by Dan Abbey (my husband). His entry about this photograph can be seen here. This is a photograph of Chuck holding a knife. I couldn't agree more with its message.

I've always been an activist by heart. Like Dan, I believe that children should be loved more, given attention more, heard out more, and understood more. They shouldn't be controlled with fear but disciplined with love. There's a vast difference between those two.

We, as parents, sometimes don't realize the effects of neglect to our children. But it's what this photograph simply shows - it's a matter of life and death.

Neglect can destroy a child's life.
