Ridiculousness!!

Reading the news the last few days, there have been many topics I have wanted to write on, and many blog post written out in my head. I just have not found the time to actually write them. Annie has been pre-teething, a new term I just made up. It's when a baby shows all the signs of teething, but no tooth. Its like the pain with no gain.
Fun times.
So I sit here now, at my computer, the baby sleeps, finally getting to write.
The topics that have been blasting the news here lately are of course, Ebola, some more Ebola stories, and a few more Ebola stories. The Ebola crisis is full blown by this point. You would think an outbreak of the most deadly virus in the world would be a cause that would unite us all, but no, not in America. This outbreak has just highlighted how increasingly polarized out country is, how everything boils down to politics and political correctness.
It angers me. I could write hundreds of blogs, lambasting the stupidity of modern day America. I could decry the whole political machine we follow. I could do all that, but as I mentioned above, the time, and the reason I don't have any, I have four precious kids.
My kids are what derail my thoughts. In my bouts of anger, I am usually interrupted by someone needing a snack. My kids are what turn my thoughts to prayer, and sadness.
Just this morning, nursing my baby, I was reading an article on the bullying tactics of the LGBT community. I looked at my baby, realizing I might be the last generation of parents who raise their kids in a world where boys are boys and girls are girls. My kids are growing up in a world that is trying to force down all our throats that biological gender means nothing. That brings me such sadness.
It will be so confusing for little kids. I am a boy, why are you not calling me a boy, Why do I get in trouble for calling other boys boys? Why do I get in trouble for saying someone is a girl.
 It's happening. Just last week a story was out about a school district in Nebraska, tying to be more gender inclusive, boys and girls will no longer be referred to as 'boys and girls'. They are to be called "purple aliens" and boy and girl are to be referred to as the "b"word and the "g" word.
All in the name of political correctness. Our kids are used as pawns.
 Looking at my baby girl, I was in awe of the miracle that God made. It is not my prerogative to question her gender, he made her a female, how dare I cause her to question that, or plant seeds of doubt in her mind. It would be so blasphemous to me. How can we live in such a twisted world, ruled by nonsense. How do I fight it for the sake of my children?
All I know to do, is pray. Pray for wisdom, so when these new ideas are presented, the wisdom of God will guide my thoughts. I pray I hold fast to the gospel, to the word of God, it would speak the truth to me. I pray for Godly leaders within the faith community, Leaders that follow the scripture. Leaders that boldly speak the truth. I pray for my babies, that they will find their footing in God, and not be tossed by the changing tides of political correctness.
I know many of my readers are fellow moms. I would love to hear feed back.
