A Mother’s Day Tale

Just came across this. And since it is “Mother’s Day week” I thought I’d share.

Jill Snyder Kerr (’00, MAEd ’01), a former Wake Forest track star and assistant coach has six children, including triplet girls. In the story below, she shares how she coped with the challenges of pregnancy, childbirth, sleep deprivation and juggling multiple roles as a mother, teacher and coach. She also offers some tips and inspiration for other mothers on Mother’s Day 2023.

The article below highlights her achievements as an athlete, her faith as a Christian and her gratitude for the support of her family, friends and community.

You will read how she:

  • Took a break from coaching at Boston College after the birth of her triplets and focused on teaching part-time at a local high school.
  • Relied on the help of her husband, mother-in-law, church members and friends who provided meals, babysitting and moral support.
  • Hosted international exchange students who enriched her family’s cultural experience and helped with household chores.
  • Prioritized her faith and trusted God’s plan for her life.

YOU GO GIRL! (Kudo’s to Dad as well)

Happy Mother’s Day!!

Our lives begin at conception. Our sex, our ethnicity, even our hair color are determined at the moment two gametes, sperm and egg, meet.

I believe we are obliged to respect that beginning by not ending life prematurely. Or unnecessarily. [See post below].

Human Life – The Beginning

Human Life – The Beginning

The Mississippi law upheld by last year’s Supreme Court ruling placed a restriction on abortion after 15 weeks, with exceptions for a medical emergency or severe fetal abnormality. This restriction is viewed as extreme by some.

What do you think?

Lifelong Liberal Democrats Create Documentary “Affirmation Generation”

They describe themselves as lifelong, liberal Democrats, but the makers of a documentary about the difficulties of people who transitioned from one gender to another and back have found themselves branded as bigots and anti-trans grifters as well as TERFs—short for Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminists.

They said a screening of Affirmation Generation had been canceled due to pushback from trans rights activists—including threats of disruption and social media attacks, and another required extra security and a secret location. Some of the film’s makers say they did not dare use their own names.

“If Hollywood knew I made this movie, I would be immediately canceled and destroyed,” said producer Vera Lindner, who goes by a different name for mainstream projects.

She began transitioning at age 18, including injections of testosterone and the surgical removal of both of her breasts, which she said led to more depression. When she was diagnosed four years later with Complex PTSD due to abuse suffered as a child, she transitioned back to female.

Now 26 and saying she is comfortable in her own body, she blames a “cultural obsession” for encouraging her to be trans. “There’s a deconstructionist element to it, completely pushing against traditional values, including the reality of biological sex,” she said. “Kids are pushed along on this conveyor belt that involves big pharma, billable insurance and media propaganda.”

Since going public with her decision to detransition, she’s been likened to a Nazi in social media and told she’s “supporting the genocide of trans people.”
