Dear Friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from him anything we ask, because we obey his commands and do what pleases him. And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us.
1 John 3:21-23

The Other Side to Rape
For years rape has been discussed and portrayed on behalf of the woman, but men have been plagued with being a victim to this as well for quite a while. The difference between the two is that it is barely discussed or even researched highly because society tends to shy off from topics that can't be envisioned or fathomed.
The tragedy in this is that many men go through life bottling resentment, shame and guilt for a crime that was committed against them and they had no control over it whatsoever. Whether this crime was committed as they were growing up and too young to defend themselves or as adults it is still a crime that needs a great amount of focus, and a topic that we at rtrsmag intend to portray with high regard to the victims who have already suffered immensely for it.
Within our prisons many men also suffer needlessly as the system looks the other way to countless reports of rape and assault while doing their sentence. It is a matter that we as human beings must look into further in order to assist the victims it plagues on a daily basis. Attached is a start-up piece to this subject on male rape and soon we intend to do a follow-up once we continue our very own research and can give you a better understanding on the situation at hand.

A Newborn's Conversation with God
A baby asked God, "They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow,
but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?"
God said, "Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you."
The child further inquired, "But tell me, here in heaven I don't have
to do anything but sing and smile to be happy.."
God said, "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you.
And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy."
Again the small child asked, "And how am I going to be able to understand
when people talk to me if I don't know the language?"
God said, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words
you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will
teach you how to speak."
"And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"
God said, "Your angel will place your hands together and will teach
you how to pray."
"Who will protect me?"
God said, "Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life."
"But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore."
God said, "Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach
you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you."
At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth
could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, "God, if I am to leave
now, please tell me my angel's name."
God said, You will simply call her, " Mom ."

Springing Forward
As Spring draws near many of us start to think about the warm weather and how soon after Summer creeps in, the garments become less, and more skin becomes exposed. Many may still have their curves in the right places but face it those that don't need to reconsider what they deem appropriate to wear while in public.
I know how easy it is to wonder oh I can look great in that, but know better to not attempt it because of my figure. I am a mother who has been unable to lose the belly fat since I had my child eight years ago and it isn't due to lack of trying. I've joined the gym, and saw no results. I cut back on sweets, soda and junk food yet still struggled with losing the bulge and so like many others before me just simply gave up.
2010 has thus far proven how much has to be accomplished. I first decided to quit smoking cigarettes, which I am still struggling with but am happy to say I can see myself quitting for good within the next month, but let's not get side swiped here.
Let's stay focused and lets tackle or maybe weigh in the factors. Now that Summer is almost here I intend to lose the ten to fifteen pounds I couldn't
lose by drastically making some other changes within my diet.
I am not going to starve myself, but simply eat a bit better. Exercise at least three to four times a week and will do this solely by sheer determination and will power, leaving out the whole gym concept entirely and I will catalog my changes as we go along. At present I weigh 140 pounds and my height is 5'1. I am also considered to be a medium framed woman, so basically my ideal weight should be between 115-129 lbs.
With that said I intend to make my ideal weight by the end of June. If I lose it any sooner I will of course share my success with you and also include the following links so you can yourself attempt to join me in the Springing Forward to better weight management regime. If you do please leave us your comments and let us know what you're doing to achieve success. Every woman deserves a positive support group that not only motivates you, but also supports you in times of challenge and you can definitely find that here. "Don't be Discouraged."

Teen Depression
While more and more teens are being plagued and diagnosed with depression, we must stop to wonder what can be done to assist them before it is much too late. Teen suicide ranges between the age of 15-24 and is considered one of the major leading causes of death within the United States.
Unfortunately, there are also a lot of teens that appear to be alright but are suffering from within and it is they we question more, because the result of losing them to this is so overwhelmingly shocking that you can't fathom it. The why is always hanging over you especially when now that teen is lost and considered a statistic to suicide? To pinpoint definitive signs of depression isn’t easy unless the depressed party is giving you sure fire hints, but then there are the few who can mask their state of mind so well no one will ever be the wiser.
