Sometimes things just don't make any sense to me!! Yesterday, a convicted sex offender in Alaska won the $500,000 lottery which was sponsored by a group to benefit sexual abuse victims!! What are the chances of that?? Unfortunately, if I had been there I would have probably ripped the check out of his hand..a rather inappropriate thing to do, but nonetheless, I think I would have reacted in some similar manner! Anyway, after he received the check, he said he would give some of it to "God" and some to "Charity". When pressed about the "charity" he did say that he would give $100,000 to Standing Together Against Rape, the organization for victims of sexual abuse. How "kind" of him! By the way, his name is Alec Ahsoak, if any of you live in Alaska and wanted to know. You can read the story by clicking on the link. Hopefully this man has learned something about his behavior and by donating some of his money to a worthy cause. Who knows? We can only hope and pray. Blessings to you all my sisters!

Wed, 07 Jan 2009 20:18:47 GMT http://www.soul-expressions-abuse-recovery.com I, as many of you, was shocked by the recent death of Jett Travolta, John and Kelly (Preston) Travolta's son. At a time like this, little can be done to lessen the pain from grieving. I have lost many people in my life and know the grieving process and the pain of it, but I have not lost a child and can not imagine how painful that must be to endure. My 10 y/o daughter said to me when I was explaining what happened to Jett and his relationship with John, "I bet if something happened to Ella he would die." I told her that he would probably want to. Sometimes grieving is so painful that you don't feel that you can go on and take one more breath..I truly believe the deeper the love the deeper the pain when the love is lost. My heart and blessings are with the Travoltas and my prayer is that God will wrap his loving arms around them and give them strength and peace in this time of pain.
