Really?

Sometimes the world slaps you in the face and sometimes the world just shows you how much power it has over people. The later is what happened today. Seeing reality and hearing other people converse with each other showed me something very disturbing! I walked into Mocha Monkey and past by these two younger middle-aged women. They were chatting and then something caught my ear. One of them asked, "When is Easter? This weekend or next?" I don't know why that caught my attention but I was engaged from there. The other lady proceeds to say, "I wanna go out and party for Easter! But of course I cant. I HATE having kids." My jaw dropped when I heard those words! HATE having kids? I just could not wrap my head around the idea that this lady just implied that she would rather not have her children so she could freely go out and drink! I cannot believe the control that "partying" has on our culture. I pray that these kids of her find true love from the One that can love them endlessly! Oh, God what are we doing?
