I've signed up to drive long haul for Swift transporation in an effort to make enouph money to pay off my debts. Let's hope this works out, cause I'm at a loss as to what more I can do to survive this grueling world. Social security denied me benefits. Apparently as long as there is some job I can do they won't pay.

Depression encroaches on my life now. I've dreamed of being a teacher now for 3 years. I've done all that I can to achieve that goal, but as always there are impenetrable obstacles in my way to achievement, comfort, and sucess. I've gotten my master's degree in early childhood. I've signed up with a certifying agency. Diligently looked for work. And yet here I sit jobless, without my dream, without a hope left for my future. I wonder why it is that I continue to have hardship. I'm told that God loves me and that he is "mindful" of me. And yet I have nothing.

My opinion on marriage is strange for someone who believes it to be a sacred institution to be shared between a man and a woman for the purpose of forming a family. I share many conservatives strong thoughts that homosexual behavior is morally wrong and therefore gay marriage is somehow condoning immoral behavior. However, in my opinion I don't believe that the government should regulate marriage....period. The government shouldn't sell marriage licenses, give tax breaks to married persons, or provide any benefit to individuals who choose to legalize their emotional lives. Think of it...no legal marriage, no divorce, no divorce attorneys, no controversy about gay marriage. Marriage could simply be a contract between individuals much like a prenuptial agreement dividing possessions and child custody. Marriage would be back where it belongs..within the confines of the churches and no ones business but the people involved.
