More Warriors in the Fight

With no longer being a missionary in the Pornography Addiction Support Group (PASG), I have had to look around for ways to stay busy and active and involved.  I am so PSYCHED about these two websites that are new to me -- Beauty Redefined (you are capable of being more than looked at) for young woman.  Identical twins who are teaching young girls and women what beauty really can be.

And then the second organization if "Fight the New Drug."  College guys who have put  together a program for more the jr. high, high school and college age.  Great website.    www.fightthenewdrug.org

This is a huge battle and the more people we have fighting it individually and as a group will make the difference.

Also, don't forget Women for Decency.

Woot! Woot!

One Baby Taking a Giant Step and bringing in a new baby.

It's 6:46 and Nic has just left to go on his first date with Jessica, who is darling, athletic, tall and a soccer player for Viewmont.  I highly approve.  He looked very handsome and was excited to have a good evening.  I am proud of Nic and I don't worry one bit about how things will go tonight.
Somehow I missed his nice shoes in this photo.

Next, due to advice from two of my caregivers, doctors, we have brought another little creature into our family named Lucy.  She is a Morkie, which I didn't even know existed (this is a Yorkie and Maltese mix -- don't ask Drake Judkins -- he doesn't get it either -- I'm with him).  She is adorable, sweet and loving.  She will be my new companion during the day when everyone is gone.  I am looking forward to getting to know her.

One Soul

Most of you know that one of my many passions is the danger of gay pornography and how it can affect a child in their gender identity.  I fully believe it did with my son, Matt.  He does not totally agree in that he did do extensive therapy and felt like if that was the only reason he was confused, the therapy might have led him in another direction.

You also know that I have had my hand slapped quite a few times about sharing in our presentations about gay pornography and what I wish I could have known 12 years ago.

Yesterday, I was speaking to a woman who heard my presentation a year ago.  She told me she was so glad to talk to me because she wanted to tell me that I had help "save" her son.  I asked her what she meant.  She told me that she had concerns for  him and knew that he was confused and he had also seen gay pornography.  She said she was able to go home and say all the things that I had wished I knew to say to Matt 12 years ago.  She and her son have many conversations and the other day he came home from a dance and said "I danced with this girl and really liked it!"

I wish I could express in words how much this means to me.  My prayers are that this conversation she had with her son helps him avoid some real heartache.  This is something I will keep close to my heart.  Thank you for sharing with me.
