Seething Mom

I seethe NOT because my son is gay. I seethe because he lives in a country in which some elected officials find it politically advantageous to deny him dignity, basic rights, and protections. I seethe because there are people who preach hatred and discrimination towards gays yet claim to be "good" and "loving" Christians. I seethe because there are groups who claim to be "advocates" for the family but who work to do great harm to any family that doesn’t fit their narrow template for “normal”.

Plane crashes in New York's Hudson River

This hits close to home. My husband is a retired Airline Pilot and my brother is a US Airways Pilot who flies the same type of airplane involved in this accident, an Airbus A320.

Thankfully everyone appears to be safe. And no, my brother was not the pilot of this aircraft, although he was flying today.

I can certainly attest to the amazing amount of training these guys go through and it is at times like this that we should all be grateful they do.
