Read the last paragraph.  I was going through the archives for curiosities sake and came across this post.  That event was the culmination of a bad time for me and honestly it’s still hanging around.  Damping my enthusiasm for the very church I was very excited about…and has has also dampened my relationships within my church and with Christ.  Talking about conviction..I was an “infectious” Christian then.  Now i’m just wading through the one of the darkest times in my walk of faith.  My faith is not shaken and I know what awaits me when I die..my joy about it here on earth has faded and that’s not good.  It was quite amazing when i looked back at that post and remembering that time and compared it to now.  It’s time I got right with God and get this ship called my household turned back into God’s wind…It’s going to be work..i want that enthusiasm again.

P.S. We still have thos chairs…:)

State’s attorney accused of skipping out on child support
“When we first separated, we had an agreement that I pay her $200 a month. I paid that amount, and much more at times, until she got a different job,” Charles Smith wrote in the statement. “After that happened, we’ve had a standing agreement that neither of us owed the other child support because there have been years that her income was higher than mine, and vice-versa.”

I quote an earlier part of the article:

The papers state that the court ordered Smith (R) to pay $209 per month for the couple’s two children, now 13 and 14. As of Aug. 1, he owed $19,444 in back child support, the papers state.

Another section sounds like a typical deadbeat parent excuse:

“We always have had shared physical custody, the kids splitting time at each household, and have always shared expenses 50/50, reimbursing each other frequently if someone was out-of-pocket more than the other,” Charles Smith said in his statement. “I have never once asked for child support all these years, nor has she.”

There’s one huge issue here.  Mr. Smith is under a court order to pay the money.  His excuses about physical custody mean nothing as in Maryland custody decisions are independent of child support.  OOP reimbursements if they aren’t covered by the court order don’t mean a thing when it comes to paying your child support.  For someone who makes 2-4 times my entire HOUSHOLDS income for him to skip out because of the statements above is ridiculous.  Mr. Smith,  pay your child support..all of it..immediately and stop giving excuses.  You profess to be a Christian AND you are a state’s attorney.  You are in office to enforce the law not break it.  I say if you don’t immediately pay up everything owed and start paying monthly as per the court order then you Mr. Smith should be removed form office as someone who thumbs their nose at the law should not be in a position to enforce it.

Watchdog Decries U.S. Deportation Laws - News Story - WRC | Washington
“The laws are not only cruel in their rigidity, they are senseless,” said Alison Parker, senior researcher for Human Rights Watch’s U.S. program. She authored the report.

“How do you explain to a child that her father has been sent thousands of miles away and can never come home simply because he forged a check?” she asked.

I have a better question:

How do you sent away a criminal that never should have been here in the first place?  Easy..deport them.  If this individual had not come here illegally..gotten his wife/partner pregnant they would not be in this siuation.  Many illegal immigrants come here illegally and purposefully have kids and try to use them as anchor babies…I have no sympathy for these people.

Vaccine-wary parents spark public health worry - Kids and parenting- msnbc.com

I have yet to see anything public refuting the public statistics about mercury in vaccines and autism.  HOw anyone could htink that injecting mercury into anyone is safe is beyond me.  The vaccines maybe a good thing..but is it worth poisoning our children?  Many parents are opting out of that..and I will be looking into Maryland’s state laws about this as well.
