Nothing New

This is a non-post. I don’t have anything pressing or urgent to communicate and lunch is having its siesta way with me. Rachel and Steve were here for the weekend, and the only way it could have been any better would have been if Rebecca and Kevin had been here, too. Too many of the cases I’m processing these days involve mothers the same age as my daughters. While it provides a sense of relief and gratitude to know that Rachel and Rebecca are fortunately not dealing with trying to figure out who the father of their children is so that they can try to get some money out of him, I still cannot shake off what a dreadful predicament this is for the women who are. And pity the poor children! If one ever wants a serious explanation for what’s going wrong with this world they need look no farther than the nearest unwanted human being. Behavioral scientists make the argument that sex for the purpose of procreation is as necessary to human survival as food, clothing and shelter, and as such it is probably primitively instinctual. But may God shower tender mercies upon all these babies that have no reason for being here other than that their biological parents wanted to get it on. Whoa! The lunch hour has expired and I used two-hundred and thirty-two words to say nothing!
