Here are some thoughts I wrote a couple months back on the subject of abortion. Tell me what you think, please. I did not cover all issues involved, just some basics.
Abortion is a problem that has been an increasing in the world. While you learn every day about how many soldiers were killed in the war or how many children die in third world countries from starvation, almost never will the media talk about the millions of babies who are murdered here in our own country before they even have a voice to utter a sound.

What is our problem and why have such atrocities been allowed to happen? The first thing I would like to make clear is that no one is in the dark about what is really happening, everyone knows that the two cells you started off as were still you. Even when they say that it is not “living” they know they are killing potential future life. So how could this thing have started? There are many things that led up to the conclusion that killing a baby in the womb is okay, but I think there are two people in particular who can bear the brunt of the blame. First is Charles Darwin and next is Ernst Haeckel. Darwin came up with the theory that humans are just smarter animals who are here by random chance whose only real purpose is to advance evolution, and not that humans are designed by a God who cares. Today this idea is popular, for a people who do not like accountability it works almost perfect. Ernst Haeckel took the idea of Darwin and went on to tell how in the womb we go through our own evolution. Haeckel had no evidence to support his facts so like a true scientist he faked it. He drew pictures of the embryo going through its different evolutionary stages, and back in the time before ultra sound and x-ray it looked pretty good. Today any honest person knows this is a fake and will let people know so. This however is actually used in abortion facilities today where they will tell the woman that her baby is actually just a fish or a piece of tissue.

We see here a trend that is disturbing, when people have been indoctrinated that we are only a more developed order of fish, what is it that is so hard to believe about a human being a fish in its early stage. Also those who know that it is not a fish still have the idea that humans are just higher animals so there is hardly a difference between killing the baby fish and the baby human. So where does it stop, what difference does it make if the baby is in or out of the womb, it is still just an animal. It is interesting to note that the woman who has the abortion still knows that what she is doing is killing a human life, and that it is wrong(no one is ignorant of what is happening). They are sacrificing there child to the god of convenience. Even with the lies as a cushion, people realize the evil.

This is why we need to stand strong in the truth that comes from God and tells us that all human life is his, and that he created it with a purpose, the purpose of serving him. So live as an example of the potential of human life, especially with God as its all encompassing guide.

Welcome to the Wonderfully, Wild, World Ean

My sister gave birth to a baby boy last Friday. He is so grown up. I can't wait to meet him in person, but it looks like I will have to.

Ticket Please


Life might be best defined by the simple mark ?. Why pain, why disease, why laughter, why mosquitos, why taste, why me, why you... why,why, why. It does all seem a bit odd does it not? We look at God with an eyebrow raised, "um, are you sure you wanted to do that?" If you find you can identify with what I am saying, (even if you can't) I would like to recommend a book.
Notes From a Tilt-A-Wirl by N.D. Wilson, and kindly recommended to me by Havilah B, is a carnival ride in book form. Fun, dizzying, and rather unpredictable. Answering questions and seeing the beauty that is God's created and spoken world. It is so unlike any book I have ever read, and I really, I mean really, enjoyed reading it. I would give it five stars.

In Christ
