Comment on Contraception and Politics by Jon Hansen

You make a very good point. This is not the first time the Church has been fighting itself over this issue. At the time of Vatican II it was already clear in the minds of many that the Church needed to change its teaching on artificial contraception. The intervening silence in the years since has been, in my opinion, an uneasy (and unofficial) truce within the Church. The current climate in the United States appears to be going to bring this truce to an end. It is clear on which side the Bishops are standing. I am not sure about the majority of the faithful. The priests on the front line will be caught in the middle. Excellent post, blessings on your family.

SO POWERFUL! I am sharing this with many. Thank you for posting one of the best videos allowing rational thought to slowly, but surely, by the power of the Holy Spirit, to convict people of the truth.

Ok, that is one VERY cool thing about being out and about with a large crew! I need more kids so I can be just as cool as you guys.

Very true, Rachel’s escort was (and still is) a fine young man, he treated Rachel with respect and did a great job protecting her honor while she was under his care. I hope the hoops were not too intimidating, my intention was to get to know him and have him get to know not only Rachel, but our family and our expectations. What better way to do that than to do things with us. With such a short time-frame prior to the Prom (just under 3 weeks), there wasn’t much time to ease him into things. We had to do a crash course in the Heberts!

Wish Rachel had mentioned what a nice gentleman her escort was. If I were him or his parents I might take offense to some of this. I know she said she had a good time because of the friends she was with, but a more specific mention of her escorts respectful behavior would have been nice. After all, I was greatly impressed with his willingness to jump through all the hoops to get permission to take her in the first place.

Comment on Educating the Next Generation by Bob Breeze

Allen, Even though my kids have long since graduated (’95 and ’98) but the degeneration of American morals, has been happening for a long time, even before I graduated in ’65. As you stated it just wasn’t as blatant as is now. We had more respect/fear of consequences than teens do now and that is because exactly as you have said, “lack of enforcement” of the rules. Having the rules and not enforcing them sets a precedence that their will be no consequence, therefore no reason not to do whatever… This is prevalent throughout our society. The number of divorces reinforces no consequences for a bad marriage or making it work since it is supposed to “death do us part” which happened when my wife died after 36 years of marriage… Peace, Love, Joy and God Bless, Bob…

I just sent a letter to the SuperIntendent, the RRISD Board President and the school Principal. I summarized my concerns and directed them to read my full blog post. I agree wholeheartedly with your concerns…. The RRISD Board President used to be my neighbor, so I do hope I get a response of some sort. Thanks for the prompting Adam!

I think you should write a letter. I would very interested to see the reaction, especially if the story was taken up by the local media. Regardless of what side of the morality issue someone is on, it’s absurd to have policies if you’re not going to enforce them.
