But I am so optimistic about humans, that I cannot believe that there will come a time that is so bad that we'll have no hope and will quit having children.Vijayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07876606729146077830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6221151616674180073.post-64790954965350891342010-04-25T17:03:29.807-04:002010-04-25T17:03:29.807-04:00Hmm, I'm not sure I've thought of the pass...Hmm, I'm not sure I've thought of the passage this way before. I've usually thought it meant, "Times are going to get so bad that mothers will say 'blessed are you who have no children you have to grieve over.'" When danger threatens, my thoughts go to my children, adults though they may be. Women without kids are spared the horrible pain of watching their kids' pain.Marciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10006966091789130047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6221151616674180073.post-14621485210158700802010-04-24T03:02:10.740-04:002010-04-24T03:02:10.740-04:00Mary, this was the predominant sentiment (never to...Mary, this was the predominant sentiment (never to bring children into the world) in Europe when we lived there ten years ago. Is it still all doom and gloom there? I couldn't get over it and as soon as we returned to the US, I was with child.

And there are many times I think that people like Jesus were wasted on humanity -- and (thankfully) just as many times I think they were not.Mary Witzlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06458299046574564155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6221151616674180073.post-18283812499915228762010-04-23T20:31:50.154-04:002010-04-23T20:31:50.154-04:00Thanks for weighing in, Bish.

We need to take care of our earth, but not at the cost of humanity.<br /><br />To me, separation of sex from marriage and commitment is what causes an epidemic of unwanted, throwaway children.Vijayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07876606729146077830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6221151616674180073.post-75523687825466280322010-04-23T17:24:43.291-04:002010-04-23T17:24:43.291-04:00That's some heavy stuff.

Perhaps he was talking about plastic oceans and the time that will come when we have poisoned the earth so badly we will not be able to feed ourselves and our children.Bish Denhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13359927719391990534noreply@blogger.com
