The Frog With A Penny

 Mythical Chinese money frog that symbolizes good fortune, money and prosperity is not worth any more with a penny in its mouth than the one without a penny.  Even though it is believed to bring good fortune the frog itself does not get to keep the fortune or take it with it wherever it goes. 

It's the same with human beings.  Some of us are luckier than others, yet we don't accumulate our luck and we can't take our fortune or any earthly possessions once we retire into the unknown. 

And what do we really leave to our children?  The desire to possess, the urge for power and the mess we and the generations before us have created.  

I hope that one day our children will see the value in rebuilding the relationship without destroying it, fixing the problem without deleting connections, reconstructing your present without demolishing all those around you.

All of us, like a frog with a penny, with or without possessions, luck, careers, family or connections in the eyes of the universe carry the same worth.  All of us are worth saving in the eyes of God.  As intelligent as we think we are in the eyes of the Universe, Nature and God we are very primitive beings concentrating on the meaningless differences between us and failing to see the big picture of the creation and our place and purpose within it. 

Who am I in this abstract of chaos?  Who am I in the eyes of the Universe?  How can I be that Mythical Frog for those around me?  I carry the pain like the frog carries the penny, without desire for the penny or the pain, the frog and I are one and the same, lucky frog for those that believe and an unnecessary object for those that don't.  The frog and I share the same desire: desire to share happiness with all those around us if they would only believe that they can be truly happy with or without a frog, with or without a penny, with or without me and with or without pain. 

It seems that the lucky frog of prosperity will have a lot of work to do in the future if we don't change our ideals where famous and infamous have become synonyms.  Our children are seeing the negative deeds described as famous acts of violence with fame being a major component in our children's perspective of success in the present world. 

More and more young individuals are committing extreme acts of violence and crimes that we attribute to the dysfunctions of their mental state.  What do we expect from the society raised by videos, clips, overnight millionaires and teenage influencers.  Let's face it - we have made parents so busy that they have no time to raise their children.  More and more we promote working parents and busy kids: too busy to see and enjoy the world the way it is, too busy to stop and enjoy the evening outdoors, too busy to breathe. 

Parents are the best advocates for their children.  Parents need to gain back control over the values of our children in the reality of chaos.  One day at a time we can choose to teach our children to forgive, to love, to nurture and to be happy.  

To make stronger families we have to keep our families together, we have to advocate DFPS reform to where DFPS and other social service agencies concentrate on in home mental services for the families, not separations.  DFPS agents need to stop being Halloween characters children and parents have nightmares about and become a friend of the family, a shoulder to lean on.  The true purpose of social services is not to punish but to provide an invaluable service otherwise unavailable to the person.  

Broken families raise broken individuals.  And it takes a tremendous amount of time and personal growth to rectify damage done by those who mean good without kindness and forgiveness as a main objective in their heart. 

Join my new Facebook Group Texas Pro-Family Advocates.  Let's change how we parent our children in Texas one day at a time.

Innocent Tears Act

  PROPOSED BI LL TO BE ENTITLED INNOCENT TEARS ACT By Marina Burroughs INTRODUCTION The proposed Bill is in relation to the procedures for taking possession of a child by the Department of Family and Protective Services and is dedicated to my child, K. B. who fell a victim of the flawed system and has suffered the hardest heartbreak of her life and a life-long trauma at such a young age. No child should be a victim of the system that was put in place to protect the children. Parents are not criminals and deserve to be treated as such - the most important people in the child’s life.  Not many parents truly neglect and abuse their children, those that do end up having serious criminal charges.  No child and no parent should have to go through unwarranted separation unless there is serious sufficient physical evidence to suggest that the child is being neglected and/or abused. Hearsay allegations and simply stating “it’s in the best interest of the child” must not be suffici...

The Holly Trinity of CPS Prosecution

 There are three main components to CPS, currently DFPS, prosecution: case workers, prosecutors and the Judge.  Whatever the caseworkers want to call themselves nowadays, and whoever they work for, the contractors or DFPS itself, - all of those are just flashy titles. There are investigators, placements specialists, supervisors - they are all just plain case workers with the room for growth within this cruel field of State level parental alienation industry. Once you have been marked for DFPS Investigation DFPS Investigator comes knocking on your door, or ambushes you or your children in school or any other establishment, as the whole State is their jurisdiction and a "playground".  Anything you say from that point is subject to interpretation and will be interpreted in the favor of separation of the child with the parents.  Case workers work closely with the prosecutors, to the point that the prosecutors will promise the case worker protective order and give them th...

Bill of Rights Optional

In my dealings with DFPS I appear to have no rights.  Not only I have no right to life, liberty, fare prosecution, Grand Jury, being secure in my person, house, property or effects, but I don't even have the right to be silent! Don't even mention second amendment because you will never get your child back! There is nothing voluntary about the relationship where oppressors take your child, take all your freedoms and fight with unlimited funds at their disposal to not give your freedoms and your child back.  So through these dealing with DFPS I cannot help but to question: Is the Bill of Rights optional?  Is it sort of like an old Diploma that you hang on the wall in the office with the degree that is not even relevant to your actual position so we can show off to the whole world: "Look, We the people have the Bill of Rights!"  ....that we can choose to follow or not to follow... I guess that is also a part of the freedoms we have.  What good are those rights if w...
