I won’t forget to stand by you

By Monica Brand, 30 May, 2009, 2 Comments

It’s been several weeks since I posted about human/sex trafficking and those trapped in poverty. Life has been busy. Homeschooing. Traveling. The weather is warm, I’ve less time on the computer, so less time to find links.

Stand by me

As I listened to this rendition of Stand by Me, I couldn’t help but think of those victimized by the horrid sins of others.

Yes, the Voiceless are still in my heart. I won’t forget them.

Stand by me.

I will. I’ll keep doing what I can, a blog post here, a tweet there…

“Will you stand by me?”

I will.

Will you?

I didn’t get a lot of extra time to find worthy links this week. The weather turned fine Thursday and Friday, we were on the go with co-op activities, so this is all I have. Plus, my arm is still bothering me.

Have a good weekend, everyone. Moms, I wish you a lovely Mother’s Day!

Watch this video and you’ll see to whom I’m referring. Her life is my worst nightmare for my children, yet these kids are living this hell on earth. Please don’t look away.

After a hiatus, I’m back to doing a once weekly list of links. It’s simple, I post the link, you click over or not. Read… if you dare. Warning: you may be feel emotions ranging from extreme anger to waves of sadness. Unless you’re heartless or dead. Do dead folk read blogs?
