Episode 448: Being Tested

Send us Fan MailDo you feel like you are being tested all over the place? 2+2 does not equal 4! I am proud to say that I was a stay-at-home mom — it brought me so much joy and heartache. I gave it 100% and I don’t want to feel ashamed or stigmatized for the fact that I decided for me it was more important to stay home. We all have to make our own individual decisions and make them with our spouse or partner. My belief that Harrison Butker was an amazing husband and father speaking to college graduates about the importance of the stay-at-home mom. He had a lot of backlash but let's face it, it had to be said! Life is hard enough and to think you are judged by whether or not you stay home with your children. I felt that it was a privilege for me to be able to be with my children when they were growing up. It was really hard at times and I didn’t have the money or resources like our neighbors but I did my best. It was my choice and I don’t think I need to feel badly for that choice. Right and wrong….. You aren’t crazy! It is just all of that Noise…Here is the link for Kenny Chesney’s song and the lyrics:https://open.spotify.com/track/0XN2BcoaKE4Z2hnq1ZeDY1?si=ab77bb3830954696Wreckin' balls, downtown constructionBottles breakin', jukebox buzzin'Cardboard sign says "The Lord is Comin', Tick, Ticktock"Rumors turn the mills back homeParkin' lot kids with the speakers blownWe didn't turn it on but we can't turn it off, off, offSometimes I wonder how did we get hereSeems like all we ever hear isNoiseYeah we scream, yeah we shout 'til we don't have a voiceIn the streets, in the crowds, it ain't nothin' but noiseDrownin' out all the dreams of this Tennessee boyJust tryna be heard in all this noise24 hour television gets so loud that no one listensSex and money and politicians talk, talk, talkBut there really ain't no conversationAin't nothin' left to the imaginationTrapped in our phones and we can't make it stop, stop thisNoiseYeah we scream, yeah we shout 'til we don't have a voiceIn the streets, in the crowds, it ain't nothin' but noiseDrownin' out all the dreams of this Tennessee boyJust tryna be heard in all this noiseEvery room, every house, every shade of noiseAll the floors, all the walls, they all shake with noiseWe can't sleep, we can't think, can't escape the noiseWe can't take the noise, so we just makeNoiseYeah we scream, yeah we shout 'til we don't have a voiceIn the streets, in the crowds, it ain't nothin' but noiseDrownin' out all the dreams of this Tennessee boyJust tryna be heard in all this noiseAll this noiseCan't take the noiseCan't take the noiseCan't stand the noiseCan't take the noiseIf you have any topics or subjects that you would like for me to cover please email me at Support the show
