Introduction

Please forgive my lack of organization. Right now I am still dealing with one of the worse symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder - the inability to stay focused. One thing I must point out. The actual dates of entry are the dates within my writing, NOT as the blog notates. I have had to manipulate the blog dates so that my entries appear in the order I wish. I guess you can call that "working the system" and boy, have I learned how to do that. As with most blogs, if you want to follow the chronological sequence, start with the bottom blog and work up.

I am using this blog to help me see the Lord's hand in my life since I was falsely accused of battery by a TSA agent on April 16, 2009 and thrown into jail, while leaving my sweet 93 year-old mother stranded at the airport. If you are not familiar with my case, just click on the Summary of Events entry of this blog.

This blog is going to develop just as a tree shoots forth its leaves in the Spring. I will work on it when I have time. I will not be "obsessed" with it, however, as there are far more important things in my life, such as spending time with my husband, children, grandchildren, and surrounding myself with the good in this world. Believe you me, I have had enough of the evil thrown my way. I have not given up, no matter how rough the road has become. I have fought the good fight of faith. I know the truth will come forth, and I mean that in more ways than one.

Right now I am just trying to combine my journal entries, my e-mails, my phone conversations, etc. I have told John, my husband, that this story would make a great book and movie. The ironic thing about this is that John could be the best writer, producer and director. Right now, however, I do not have his support on that subject matter. Perhaps with time that will change.

One of these days, if enough Americans start to feel the way I do, we will have an uprising, hopefully a peaceful revolt, where we will put some "common sense" back into the way we do things in this country. If we all work together for good, we can make this the quality nation it has the potential to become. Our nation has become so corrupt with special interest groups, lobbyists, and politicians with their own personal agendas. It truly does make me sick and in many instances, ashamed.

I am concerned that the government is trying to prohibit blogging. I feel blogging is probably one of the greatest "inventions" made available to man for communications. I still do not understand it completely, but I will learn how to do it line upon line. I will not be responding to comments right now. I do not have time for that. I don't know if I can allow comments and let the individuals making comments communicate with each other through the blog. I am waiting for my dear friend Tim Malone, a guru at blogging, to clue me in on how this works.

Blog comments greatly helped my morale during the malicious endeavors of many. I greatly appreciated the efforts of the media (ie the Tribune, CBS, the John and Ken Show, the John Phillips Show, and KTLA)in helping to share with the world the horrific events I was having to face. It was the blog comments on their websites that gave me the drive to move forward steadfastly. So, to those who gave me encouragement, I once again say "Thank You."
