Trash Talk

I ran 18 miles this morning in preparation for a marathon in a few weeks. I ran a nine mile loop twice, which meant I got to see the same scenery twice. Unfortunately there was a lot of litter by the side of the road. People throw all manner of trash out of their cars instead of saving it for a wastebasket. On the second loop, I discovered the litter could be a convenient mile marker: plastic fork, Cheese Nips box, Miller Lite 6 pack - this must be mile twelve.
Its sad to think that people can consider children to be disposable. Even though children are already conceived, they can be terminated. Even though children are a beautiful gift, they can be neglected and abused. But the folks at RETA love children, and have compassion for young men and women who struggle with what it means to be a parent. Perhaps you can help RETA, so children aren't treated like litter.
