The Reach of the Internet…

So off and on I do website google searches on some of the blogs I read just to see what’s going on. Recently on of the Mommy Bloggers gave a speech that I guess came off as condescending and offensive to some at the conference she was giving the speech at. I read the speed and maybe because I already know she’s insanely religious, I’d put her up there on the fundi level, it wasn’t much of a surprise to me. Perhaps though these people at the speech didn’t know of her, or were just not avid readers of hers. What she said is nothing she hasn’t said before. I can see though why her statements would anger someone especially those with children suffering with disorders or life threatening illness’. The common statement was, “Why won’t/didn’t God heal my child?” I’d actually like to see her answer that question. See what her thoughts are on the subject. But I’d hazard to guess based on her previous posts that she’d just say simply that it’s God’s will. That doesn’t answer the question of Why though but she’s not God nor should she even try to speak for God, and I would hope she never would.

Anyhow back to the reason for this post. During this I stumbled upon a website dedicated to pointing out the lies and what they deem bad parenting of this blogger. Some of it is amazing, it’s public record if you wanted to dig that deep. It also makes you wonder about how happy her life really is and why organizations such as Focus on the Family would even hold her family up to be a representative of the organization. Her husband was arrested twice on domestic violence last year. Hardly the model of a perfect family. But they have become very religious, I think even more religious than before, so perhaps it’s a story of redemption that Focus likes? Who knows, and frankly don’t care cause I’m not a fan of Focus at all.

It’s just interesting to know the true person behind the blog. The real struggles they’ve had, which I think she should openly address, and speak to. I mean many people in this nation/world go through these same things, losing homes, debt, domestic violence, sick children, skewed priorities, etc… so why not go ahead and actually speak to those things and how her faith and strength helped guide her through. Instead she deletes, bans and basically ignores anyone who questions her on those issues. There is nothing wrong with what’s happened in her life, so why she feels the need to hide them is beyond me. But sometimes people just like to keep the crappy stuff private. I think it just shows who you are when you tell everything.

Anyhow that was my thoughts on the whole thing. I’ll continue to follow both sites just because I find it fascinating. Plus the length some people will go to get information is amazing as well.
