Scenario #1
A husband and wife planned to have a baby together. Fortunately for them they got pregnant quickly. At each stage they shared the experience, though the husband could not imagine what it was like having life form in his belly. He did envy(slightly) his wife for this experience. They watched intently the ultrasound, together they counted the fingers and toes. After finding out the sex of the baby they came up with a name that both loved. Soon after this the husband became distant, he seemed disconnected. No longer did he want to hear about his future child. When the wife confronted him he explained why he was distant. Over the last several weeks he began seeing someone else. He no longer wished to have this child. He had a new love in his life and had no room for children. He asked his wife for a divorce and for her to abort the fetus.
Questions:
1. Does he have a right to make her abort her child?
2. Should he be held accountable for financial support after the child is born?

Love is not a feeling but an Action!
I remember the feeling, the sweaty palms, my heart racing, goosebumps. It felt right, so I said it, "I love you". How many times I jumped the gun. Rather than see how this person would treat me I raced to the conclusion that I loved them based on these feelings. There have been several who were special in my life but as the Years have passed and much water under the bridge, I have come to realize what love really is. I have watched my wife stand by me when I am down. I have watched her tirelessly working to ensure our family is taken care of. She is strong when I need and gentle and loving for us all. Her dedication and support inspires me to be a better man. I am still learning what love really is but I now know what it isnt. I truly hope my children experience the thrill of connection and many times I still get giddy when I am with my wife but LOVE is what we do, not what we feel.
"Love is what is left, when after, 'Being in love', has burned away"
Happy Valentines Day
for the love of my life

When the wife is right!
Some days you need a reminder of what you believe. Thanks for the reminder Honey! Pretty fun vid to look back on.
Well I've said it before, and I'll say it again
You get nothin' for nothin', expect it when
You're back seat drivin' and your hands ain't on the wheel
It's easy to go along with the crowd
And find later on that your say ain't allowed
Oh that's the way to find what you've been missin'
So I'm heading out to the highway
I got nothin' to lose at all
I'm goin' to do it my way
Take a chance before I fall
A chance before I fall
You can hang in a left or hang in a right
The choice it is yours to do as you might
The road is open wide to place your biddin'
Now, wherever you turn, wherever you go
If you get it wrong, at least you can know
There's miles and miles to put it back together
And I'm heading out to the highway
I got nothin' to lose at all
I'm goin' to do it my way
Take a chance before I fall
A chance before I fall
Makin' a curve or takin' the strain
On the decline, or out on the wane
Oh everybody breaks down sooner or later
We'll put it to rights, we'll square up and mend
Back on your feet to take the next bend
You weather every storm that's comin' at 'tcha
And I'm heading out to the highway
I got nothin' to lose at all
I'm goin' to do it my way
Take a chance before I fall
A chance before I fall
Well I've said it before, and I'll say it again
You get nothin' for nothin', expect it when
You're back seat drivin' and your hands ain't on the wheel
It's easy to go along with the crowd
And find later on that your say ain't allowed
Oh that's the way to find what you've been missin'
So I'm heading out to the highway
I got nothin' to lose at all
I'm goin' to do it my way
Take a chance before I fall
A chance before I fall
You can hang in a left or hang in a right
The choice it is yours to do as you might
The road is open wide to place your biddin'
Now, wherever you turn, wherever you go
If you get it wrong, at least you can know
There's miles and miles to put it back together
And I'm heading out to the highway

Headache Remedy
I was dumbfounded by a recent comment by my WONDERFUL wife. She suggested a little bit of loving for me, but then the truth came out. "I think it will help me with my headache, she quipped". Headache? headache? Let me tell you about a headache!! This got me thinking, would a guy ever be able to get away with this self serving comment? "Honey, I think Im prepared to give you a little loving because I believe it might help my headache". No way, no how is that going to get you past first base. Now, dont get me wrong, its not like Im going to pass up on the opportunity, but really.
Honey, do you need anymore help with your headache?

Narco Terrorists/Collateral Damage
After years of Narco Terrorism, causing death and despair, the Canadian military, with the help of the Mexican military, has decided to rid the world of this scourge. Pinning the terrorists in small communities along the Mexican/American border the two armies move in for the kill. Unfortunately, with the help of corrupt individuals on both sides of the border, the terrorists flee to safe haven in towns on the American side. With the help of informants the powerful Canadian military locates the exact positions of the Narco Terrorists. Though they are now in a sovereign nation the Political and Military influence exerted by the Canadians demands that the Americans allow controlled air strikes within their borders. As the information has been relayed to the Canadian military it releases unmanned, remote controlled drones to bomb these targets. Even though many of the terrorists are killed there is an unfortunate by product of these attacks. Dozens if not hundreds of innocent civilians are maimed or killed. The Canadian government acknowledges these as an unfortunate circumstance but they stand by their actions. Afterall, Narco Terrorism needs to be dealt with regardless of the potential cost. Back in Canada on the nightly news hundreds of young angry Christian Americans burn Canadian flags and shout death to the Canadians. Canadian citizens are confused as to why their "Allies" would do such a thing.
