Daddy our Rock



I met my husband BJ when we were very young...I was 14 and he was 11.  I was best friends with his sister and he was just her little brother.  Later when he was 24 and I was 27, we met up again.  I never ever thought we would date.  He asked me out to dinner and I will never forget how easy it was to talk and mostly laugh!  We absolutely loved being in each other's company and couldn't wait to see each other again.  We fell madly in love.  I never met a man so kind.  He is loving, funny and the kindest person I know.

 We started our life together in a very odd way.  We just kind of went with the flow of life.  I always wanted to have a big family.  He never ever said we couldn't.  We grew together.  We reverted back to our Catholic Faith.  We raised our children in the love of God.  Every baby we had or miscarried is ours. The three we lost are just as much our family.  We ask our children in Heaven to pray for us.  He let me Homeschool the children.  He encouraged me to reach my dreams for our family.

 BJ is the best daddy ever.  I have never meant those words more.  He is the most loving, caring, nurturing Father I ever knew.  He works for his family and is the most hands on dad I know.  He is involved in all of his children's lives.  Whether it was raising Beau to be the hard worker he is, introducing a whole world of computers to Beau and making it Beau's livelihood.  He is in touch with what his son loves and tries everything to nurture this.  Beau getting married to Angel is the icing on the cake!  BJ is in full wedding mode to give these two the best wedding celebration for such a holy sacrament.

BJ is very involved with Maria and Trinity's 4H.  They couldn't do any of their dreams without him.  He never hesitates to put his life on hold to take them for a weekend away to do a jackpot for Hog competitions.  He bought a truck and a trailer just so he could nurture their love of the showing.  He is so very proud of Maria who started her own business and is graphic designing agricultural logos.  He encourages her at every turn.  He encourages Trinity in her 4H projects and is her biggest cheerleader.

 BJ loves Ireland's creativity!  She is an artist.  She won first prize in an art competition at her Art Class and as soon as she brought home her magnificent drawing of a white heron, he had it up on the wall of our bedroom with the First Prize Blue Ribbon.  He loves her designs and her decorating.  He asks her input on painting the house, inside and out!  She redid our bathroom and he thought she did an amazing job!

 As for Kate, she is the light in his soul.  He accepts Kate on every level.  From the Down Syndrome at birth to the later diagnosis of Autism.  He never falters in his love of her.  Anyone that sees him with her should know, she is a huge part of his love.  He is a quiet man.  He is a generous man and he is the best husband and daddy our family could ever have.  No one knows how good BJ is, so I thought I would share my love for him since Fathers Day is right around the corner.  I love you, you are the love of my life.  We love you BJ Rogers, you are our rock and our teddy bear.

Finding Peace with Charlie Kirk

It sure has been a rough time this year.  I really thought this year was going to be spectacular and finally peace among us.  How naive I still am.  Or is it the Pollyanna in me. Seeing Charlie Kirk get assassinated shook me and many others to the core.  I loved Charlie and what he stood for and yet!  I am so surprised at exactly how many people he touched.  Behind the scenes he was such a testament of who we should be.  He was genuinely GOOD!  How many times from thousands of friends did they say how he checked in on them and the encouragement he shared with them.   Now Revivals are breaking out and the younger generation is praising God in millions.  Does it make you think about yourself and how you make a difference in people’s lives?  Do you realize that your kindness and friendship is so much more powerful than you think?   When we want to mourn and hide away, we are being called to action.  Action with Praise and Glo...

Don't Judge a Special Needs Family

Have you ever been misunderstood? Have you ever tried to do the right thing and have a whole bunch of wicked come hurling at you? What did you do? Did you start to endlessly explain your motives so it could be twisted by the few people that dislike you? Or did you stay silent? Staying silent is not my strong point, thus the blog.;) When I became pregnant with Looly (Kate), I noticed some big changes within myself. I had to fight to keep her alive because of a difficult pregnancy. Then at the end of my pregnancy I had to fight to keep us both alive. Then we were told Looly had Down Syndrome. At that time, we were grateful to God that she was alive and later we were thanking God that her heart was healthy and there was no neurological damage. She just has Down Syndrome. Just Down Syndrome. Say those words...just Down Syndrome. That is what I do, I simplify difficult things, then reflect and think I'm crazy. I was connected to this child at conception. I begged God to let me car...

Mary My Mother

I knew a woman who got pregnant.  The "Father" refused to marry her.  She had a son...his son.  He married another and left his Catholic Faith.  He became "born again".  He was baptized again.  He pounded on his bible and on his family.  He said Catholics aren't Christian.  They worship idols.  He attacked and attacked.  He became obsessed to the point that his religion was based on hatred.  Hatred that he could NOT convince even the weakest Catholic to switch sides.  He sinned.  Some of the biggest sins.  He had no where to turn.  He had all the sacraments of the Holy Catholic Church.  He could walk into a confessional at any time.  But pride, ego, ego, pride, stop him.   The worst part of this prideful story is the undermining of the mother of his son.  She brought him up Catholic. This story is probably a very common story.  It interests me because when we are at a crossroads, what d...
