I wanted to start out with a positive post, fully expecting tomorrow to be a blessed day as we (a group of All Saints' Beverly Hills parishioners) take 22 kids to see their fathers at the CA Men's Colony, a state prison in San Luis Obisbo, but I can't help calling your attention to this story in the June 25, Los Angeles Times. (My Get on The Bus post will be up late tomorrow night or first thing Monday morning, with photos.)
To quote a friend, "just when you think the religious fundamentalists have reached the peak of their idiocy, along comes the City Council of Kanab, Utah." Now we have a government declaring what God ordains and that we all need a "full quiver of children." Will they now be regulating working mothers, what about a professional couple with no kids, and God forbid two gay men or lesbians have a family--but then why would they be in Kanab, Utah.
You can read it for yourself and react. What's next?

I found the article kind of hilarious actually.
but more importantly: taking kids to see their fathers in prison... that must be a really fulfilling task. I love working with kids and I can imagine how incredibly happy it must make them to see their fathers, especially since they dont get to like most kids from 'natural' families do ;)
Well, if the editor of the paper is pulling her hair out, she must not have too much hair left. It's amazing that even today this kind of place exits! Only in Utah, I hope.
Kudos, Ckyde for starting your blog! You have a unique and intelligent voice to share. I'll keep up!
