Caitlin is my daydreamer. Most of the times my daughter has her head in the clouds and doesn't really seem to notice too much of what goes on around her. She is the emotional one though. She feels things so deeply and is just as sweet as can be. So, when she calls me & is passionate about me posting something on her Facebook, I have to check it out. Caitlin told me about the video and how she saw it at school. When I got home from work that evening she wanted to make sure that I had posted to her Facebook & then she went on to tell me what she had seen in the YouTube video. I could tell that Caitlin's heart was hurting for the children in Uganda and that it was very important to her. I was glad that I had posted on her Facebook for her.
I decided I needed to see this video. I watched the video on YouTube during my lunch hour today. I know that it may not make a real difference to some people but I agree that it does need to be brought to people's attention. As a Christian & as a Catholic we are taught that every life is important and that life should be protected from conception forward. If you truly believe that then how can you not support a cause that wants to draw attention to someone who kills & harms lives of children? Children are our future. If we allow someone to kill & harm our children then we are damaging and endangering our future.
As a Mom I am very sad and heart broken for the families that are torn apart in Uganda and for the children whose lives are destroyed by one man's quest for power. So, I am going to sign the pledge on the website www.kony2012.com myself. I know that I can't do much but I can let those in power know that I don't want this type of thing to continue in Uganda. That I will continue to pray for the children & the families in Uganda. I will pray for the capture and prosecution of Kony. I will pray for the LRA to be disarmed. I will pray for peace.
