The Amazing Providence of Women like Marian Wright Edelman

I am so glad you shared your meeting her. I would have given you a mountain of questions to ask her, had I known you were going to meet her. It is better that you met her before I told you about her. Women of her stature are women who empower your every self sacrificial effort. They are not the women that you talk about. They are part of an army of women who have sacrificed some or all of their personal accolades to the guidance of our youth. Her prayers and devotion to a generation of All About "ME" women is notable and lit up by the darkness of selfishness that surrounds it.

Who is the center of the universe? is the catechism that these women have lived out before us and the answer thunders out "WE ARE!" There is no question that no one must stand in their way. No one was saying the things that Edelman was saying. Who will bear the burdens of the children to the throne of grace? Who will wipe the tears and change the diapers? Those questions were left for the children to figure out for themselves. Much of life in the Feminist Actualization Years was about self and self and selfishness. Only the self actualized will survive this overthrow. I am not surprised at the hashtags Metoo that have come to crest and crash upon us as a flood. Not minimizing the victimization of women for time and history, but somebody has to stand for the rights of people who can't speak for themselves. Marian stood for the silent children who have no computer to tweet out the metoo's. She stood for the chaos that ensued from people not caring to lend a hand to the next generation but charges them for entering the world.

As it were, there is a toll at mother's womb edge that says this is the start of your payment for using this vehicle into the world. You don't owe me anything for using my body to come in and make your mark on the world. Life is hard enough without mothers everywhere reminding you that they went through suffering to get you here. Honor is due to the mothers and fathers, but not an eternal debt!

...remind me of that when I get on my rants and get me an Edelman book, to help me to put a muzzle in my complaining...
