A Planned Parenthood Pregnancy Countdown Baby ticker…

I will get to Planned Parenthood in a moment, but first:

Have you seen this baby countdown pregnancy ticker? It is called a  widget, and it is designed to be easily placed into a web page or blog. It allows you to follow the development of the baby as he, she, or they grow.

Abortionist Lifetime Achievement Award-To Honor The Most Successful Terminators

March 10th was the National Day of Appreciation for Abortion Providers. I am so sorry I missed it, but I want to make up for my lack of attention to such an important occasion by offering my own thoughts on how to honor these humble and caring souls.

I do believe that abortionists have been under appreciated for far too long, and that it is time that they receive the proper recognition that they so sorely deserve. How better to do this than to present them with an award and medal that embodies all that they stand for. So, I present to you:

The Terminator Award

terminator-award-sm

You can print out the full size version here, fill it out and send it to the most deserving abortionists in your area. Keep in mind that to determine which milestone to circle, just average 1500 abortions per year. If they fail to meet the numbers shown on the award, just write it in and circle it in blood red.

These terminators par excellence can have their certificates framed and mounted on the wall of the waiting area for all their clients see. These women would surely be impressed to know that they are in one of the best possible places to have their babies terminated. They would be comforted by the fact that their abortionist has been recognized as one of the very best terminators in the country.

Even though I am having some fun at the expense of these filthy rich abortionists, the reality is, that what they do turns my stomach.

I have a few questions for those of you who truely support what these abortionists do. 1. How do you deny the reality that babies are being killed? 2. How do you live with yourselves? 3. Do you have NIGHTMARES?

I pray that your eyes will be opened to the truth that all life is precious.

Take Courage, my friend.

To All Husbands: A Gut-wrenching, Heart-breaking Prayer Petition

praying-handsI am a scheduled adorer at the St. Catherine of Sienna Parish Adoration Chapel in Orange Park, Florida. At the sign-in table there is a prayer petition book for those desiring to add a special prayer request. All adorers are encouraged to read the prayer requests and join their prayers with those needs written in the book. I was reviewing the posted prayers since my last visit and came across one that stopped me in my tracks and put a lump in my throat. This will tug at everyone’s heart, but especially husbands’.

Here is the humble plea I read in our Adoration Chapel prayer petition book.

“Please save my wife, Jesus. I love you.”

Eight words that speak volumes.

This husband needs our help. He needs it in the form of a multitude of prayers, storming the gates of heaven, asking for God’s mercy. He needs everyone who reads this post to send it to everyone they know. Post it on Digg and other social sites. Just ask your friends and family to get down on their knees and ask for God’s mercy for this family.

We do not know who the husband is - the petition was not signed.
It is unknown whether there are children who will lose their mother.
We do not know whether it is a physical or spiritual healing that is needed.

There are many unknowns, but we do know that God knows the answer to all our unknowns.

Many of us have our own difficult situations where prayers are needed, but I ask that you squeeze in just one more plea. Truly, this husband and wife are our neighbors, whether from across town or across the planet. You have an opportunity to be the Good Samaritan – helping with your prayers.

Take courage, my friend.

P.S. For those who may be wondering, this story is not about my wife.  I have been married 36 years and don’t even want to imagine what this husband must be going through.

The “Keep Abortion Legal” Poster-From A Different Angle

keep-abortion-legal-poster


Euphemism-

  “An agreeable word (abortion) or expression substituted for one (in this case a picture-see below) that is potentially offensive… for example; The Nazis used euphemism in referring to their plan to murder the world’s Jews as ‘the Final Solution.’” 

How Ironic that this Nazi holocaust example was actually used to further clarify the definition.

Realism

Every human being with a heart should be offended by this. For those of you who aren’t offended or shamed need to read “More than 100 Million Wounded By Abortion…” 



no-liberty-for-the-unborn-in-the-obama-administration





 

 

If President Obama and the Democratic Congress have their way the 50,000,000 babies killed in the womb by abortion since 1973 will pale in comparison to that which is to come. 

It took three days, but by Executive Order President Obama has reversed the Mexico City Policy which prevented public funding from being used by overseas groups that perform or promote abortions. Now tens of millions of taxpayer dollars will be going to baby killing overseas.
——————————

To see what else waits unborn babies take a look at some of what you can find on the  White House website:

Supports a Woman’s Right to Choose: President Obama understands that abortion is a divisive issue, and respects those who disagree with him. However, he has been a consistent champion of reproductive choice and will make preserving women’s rights under Roe v. Wade a priority in his Administration. He opposes any constitutional amendment to overturn the Supreme Court’s decision in that case.

For more information on just how radical the Obama agenda is, just peruse the White House website, but be forewarned, you are taking the chance of  getting sick to your stomach.
——————————

Freedom of Choice Act - FOCA is coming just around the corner. It is probably the most destructive baby execution legislation ever considered in the U.S. Congress. The Democratic Congress wants to pass it and Obama has promised to sign it.

The Catholic Church has mounted a national letter writing campaign. All other churches need to do the same. We must flood Congress with fifty million letters demanding that FOCA never see the light of day so that unborn babies will.

Take courage, my friend.

Certain Drugs Are Good For Your Kids!

Moms and Dads, the following narrative will make you chuckle, but I ask that you not ignore the truths that are contained within. You are the parent, not a peer. You must make the hard decisions even if the children may hate you for making them. Persevere for their sake. You can be their friend when they grow up, for only then will they understand.

I Had Drug Problems Too!

The other day, someone at a store in our town read that a methamphetamine lab had been found in an old farmhouse in the adjoining county and he asked me a rhetorical question. “Why didn’t we have a drug problem when you and I were growing up?”

I replied, “I had a drug problem when I was young: I was drug to church on Sunday morning. I was drug by my ears when I was disrespectful to adults. I was also drug to the woodshed when I disobeyed my parents, told a lie, brought home a bad report card, did not speak with respect, spoke ill of the teacher or the preacher, or if I didn’t put forth my best effort in everything that was asked of me. I was drug to the kitchen sink to have my mouth washed out with soap if I uttered a profanity. Those drugs are still in my veins and they affect my behavior in everything I do, say, or think. They are stronger than cocaine, crack, or heroin; and, if today’s children had this kind of drug problem, America would be a better place.”

Take courage, my friend.

My thanks to the Gulf Region Alliance of Catholic Evangelism, Inc for including this story in their newsletter.

Moms and Dads: Internet Dangers Are Real!!! Part 3

internet-safety-tips-thumbnailThis series is drawn from the booklet Kid Safe Cyberspace: A Parent’s Guide… This 20 page booklet and other resources are available here. To read Part 1 and 2 of this series, click here and here. Follow this link for a printable Internet Safety Tips page.

While in church yesterday morning there seemed to be an unusually large number of young children (4-10 yrs). While I try to not let my mind wander, it did, and I was thinking about the beautiful innocence of these children and how long or short a time it will be before Internet pornography shatters their world and that of their entire family. Then I realized I already knew the answer to that question. I mentioned it in part 2 of this series, but it is worth repeating. Studies have shown that the average age at which children are first exposed to Internet porn is 11 years old.

Mom and Dad, don’t let this happen to your kids. Throughout their young lives you do so many things to keep them safe — from car seats and good nourishment, to child drawer locks and electrical outlet covers. You teach them to look both ways when crossing the street and not to talk to strangers. These and a thousand other safeguards are taken in order to keep them safe and protect their innocence. Unfortunately, far too many parents are neglecting this most important safeguard: protecting their children from the dangers lurking in the dark alleys along the information super highway. This paradox we call the Internet has such great potential for good while at the same time is filled with grave danger. However, with proper safeguards, your family can enjoy the benefits from the  ”good side” of the web and still be insulated from the “dark side.”

In part 2 of this series I listed several Internet safety tips. The following will expand on that list in hopes of making you more aware of just how widespread the problem really is.

  • Web Cams: Wonderful for keeping in touch with families who live far apart, however, they are often trouble because of the way teens use them to show off and, all too often, to show off in front of strangers.
  • Cell Phones, iPods and game systems: The following actual news headlines should make the point: “Cell phones-The Next Frontier for Pornography;” “Porn industry markets to cell users;” “Porn on the pod: targeting iPod users;”  ”Adult content producers eye Play Station Portable and iPod;” “Predators eye new ground-Xbox 360 and similar game systems.” Don’t think for a minute that these are isolated news events; they are not. The porn merchants use every means possible to draw you and your children into their web. So, beware, it is not just the computer anymore. 
  • Social Networking Sites- MySpace.com, Facebook.com, Xanga.com, Bebo.com,  and a host of others: it wasn’t too many years ago, as society began to obscure the line between right and wrong, that parents began to caution their children about not talking to strangers — and they had good reason. Well, the online world of today actually encourages and promotes just the opposite. With the flourishing of social-networking sites, kids are now talking with strangers more than ever, and often to strangers who are not who they say they are. Learn more about Social Networking sites, and their dangers, here. Be aware that the FBI and many other law enforcement agencies have special units that do nothing but investigate online predators, usually through social networking sites and Internet chat rooms. 
  • Computer Usage Ground Rules: for a complete list click here, then print out the Safety Tips handout, laminate it, and post it near the home computer.

This Internet pornography problem is like an iceberg, only some of it is visible. The real danger is from what you don’t see! So, there is still much more you need to know. The Kid Safe Cyberspace booklet can give you the rest of the story. You can order it here.

In the next article of this series I will try to answer the question: to filter or monitor, which is better for different age children.

Mom and Dad, this is a battle you must join and in which you must stay engaged. You must stay vigilant. Involve your kid’s friend’s parents, and don’t forget grandma and grandpa and other adult family members.   This will be your front line defense in the battle to protect your family.

Take courage, my friend.

Capital Punishment and Its Selective Use

So much outrage by so many over fewer than 100 criminal executions per year in the U.S.  

Who deserves capital punishment? 

How many are silent, or don’t care, when it comes to the execution of the unborn? Where is the outrage for the 1.3 million babies killed in the womb each year in the U.S. and for the 46 million killed worldwide each year?

No crime committed = ultimate punishment? 

Unborn Baby In An Electric Chair

By the way, this so-called cruel and unusual punishment is compassionate compared to what actually happens in an abortion. Just look at these instruments of death.

Abortion Instruments

Let’s start calling abortion by a new name…Baby Execution.

It is time to crack open those concrete walls encasing stony hearts and fight for LIFE!

Merry Christmas, not Happy Holidays

I wish you all the very best Merry Christmas.

It is time to give credit where credit is due. If there were no Christmas, there would be no Happy Holidays for there would be no holiday at all:  no time off work; no Christmas parades; no beautiful decorations, no family traditions, no glorious music, nothing to celebrate, and probably no malls (that might not be so bad). So, all of you who cringe at the very words “Merry Christmas,”  just get over it. Whether you believe in the theology or not, there is no arguing that the world is a better place because of Christmas.

Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas…

Don’t forget  first to give thanks to the One who deserves all honor and praise, and teach this to your children. They need to always know the reason for the season.

Christians of all faiths honor the Virgin Mary with every “Merry Christmas” they say

The following is a sermon by St. Bernard from the early 12th century. He clearly explains how Christians would be unable to say “yes” to Jesus if the Virgin Mary of the Gospels had not done so first.

For you non-Catholics, have no fear, by reading this you will not have to become Catholic. However, you will gain a greater understanding of why Catholics, for 2000 years, have given special honor to Mary.

The whole world awaits Mary’s reply.

 The Annunciation“You have heard, O Virgin, that you will conceive and bear a son; you have heard that it will not be by man but by the Holy Spirit. The angel awaits an answer; it is time for him to return to God who sent him.

We too are waiting, O Lady, for your word of compassion; the sentence of condemnation weighs heavily upon us. The price of our salvation is offered to you. We shall be set free at once if you consent. In the eternal Word of God we all came to be, and behold, we die. In your brief response we are to be remade in order to be recalled to life.

Tearful Adam with his sorrowing family begs this of you, O loving Virgin, in their exile from Paradise. Abraham begs it, David begs it. All the other holy patriarchs, your ancestors, ask it of you, as they dwell in the country of the shadow of death. This is what the whole earth waits for, prostrate at your feet. It is right in doing so, for on your word depends comfort for the wretched, ransom for the captive, freedom for the condemned, indeed, salvation for all the sons of Adam, the whole of your race.

Answer quickly, O Virgin. Reply in haste to the angel, or rather through the angel to the Lord. Answer with a word, receive the Word of God. Speak your own word, conceive the divine Word. Breathe a passing word, embrace the eternal Word.

Why do you delay, why are you afraid? Believe, give praise, and receive. Let humility be bold, let modesty be confident. This is no time for virginal simplicity to forget prudence. In this matter alone, O prudent Virgin, do not fear to be presumptuous. Though modest silence is pleasing, dutiful speech is now more necessary. Open your heart to faith, O blessed Virgin, your lips to praise, your womb to the Creator. See, the desired of all nations is at your door, knocking to enter. If he should pass by because of your delay, in sorrow you would begin to seek him afresh, the One whom your soul loves. Arise, hasten, open. Arise in faith, hasten in devotion, open in praise and thanksgiving.

Behold the handmaid of the Lord, she says, ‘be it done to me according to your word.’ ”

St. Bernard of Clairvaux
Born in 1090, at Fontaines, near Dijon, France; died at Clairvaux, 21 August, 1153.

(This sermon is taken from the Office of Readings for 12-20-08.)

For Men Only—Marriage is a 50/50 Proposition … Bull Crap

(Now ladies, if you are going to read this, there is a message for  you at the bottom of the  post.)

An airline flight attendant picks up the intercom and begins to speak to the passengers: “Ladies and gentlemen,” the voice is cracking and hesitant, “the captain has asked that I reassure you not to worry about our left engine that is on fire. Everything will be OK. The fire will soon be out and this airplane can land with the one remaining engine.” Then a passenger screams out, “Yea, land in how many pieces?”

airliner-with-engine-fireAs a former U. S. Air Force pilot and a current husband of 36 years, I can guarantee you that as precarious as that emergency single engine landing might be, it will have a far greater chance of survival than a so called 50/50 marriage. The airplane will land safely, with only some frayed nerves among the passengers; however, the 50/50 marriage will crash and burn.

A 50/50 marriage is lunacy. Why give only half to your marriage when you want the whole enchilada for everything else in life? Have you forgotten that a 50% test grade meant you flunked the test (unless graded on a curve and we won’t go there)? That is exactly what will happen in a 50/50 marriage…it is only a matter of time. That kind of relationship, that mentality, is a disaster waiting to happen — and it won’t take long! A 50/50 marriage = 100% misery.

gold-intertwined-rings-two-sets-one-brokenDo you want your marriage to remain intact, to be a lifelong success, or do you want to fail? It is up to you. Look at the rings. Picture -A- takes 100% effort. Picture -B- is what you get with a 50/50 marriage. Shattered dreams and shredded lives.

So, men, you need to give more, much more. You must come to understand what sacrifice is all about. You must strive for the 100% threshold.

However, there are many obstacles hindering  you from reaching your goal. One of them is that you are challenged or impeded, to a certain extent, by a latent gene that has recently been discovered. Don’t use this as an excuse because you can overcome it. You still have the responsibility to do the right thing — to love your wife totally. Let me explain.

We have all read about genetic research discovering genes that pass on tendencies toward various diseases, behaviors, etc.  Researchers have now isolated a gene, found almost exclusively in men that, at times, morphs us into being selfish, lazy, self-indulgent, egotistical, neglectful, a couch potato, a sport fanatic, and the list goes on and on and on. The gene has a long, difficult to pronounce, multi-syllable, Latin name so I will not twist your mind with it. I will just use the, more descriptive, slang form. They call it the Jackass gene. Simply put - it makes men act like a jackass. In other words, you forget about your wife and focus on yourself – not good for marriage.

jackass-houseYou don’t have to believe me, but it is true. To prove it to yourself, don’t waste your time doing an Internet search or contacting a genetic research company, all you have to do is ask your sister, mother, or mother-in-law. At least one of them will unequivocally confirm the fact that you are a jackass…at least once in awhile.

All kidding aside, a successful marriage takes the best that you both can give. Here is part of the secret:

• You, the husband, strive to give (love and sacrifice) 100%.
• Keep that jackass gene under control.
• Do not be evaluating, ranking, or assessing your wife’s performance.

This last item is crucial. You take care of your part of the marriage equation and let your wife take care of hers, unencumbered by accusations, innuendo, or negative running commentary of any sort.

Think of the best football coaches. For all practical purposes, they are god when it comes to the team. They demand you give 100% and they are not interested in hearing your bickering about some other player who you believe to be a slacker. You do your job and let the coach take care of the rest.

The same principle goes in a marriage. You do your job, giving 100%, with no bickering to God about your spouse, and allow God to work on the perceived/real imperfections that you think you see in her.

For those of you familiar with scripture, here are three verses you must forget. Totally blot them out in your bible. “Wives, be subject to your husbands, as to the Lord.  For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior.  As the church is subject to Christ, so let wives also be subject in everything to their husbands.”(Eph 5:22-24)  Of course, these were meant for your wives, but your wives are not to be reminded of them by you.

God gave you plenty to do. “Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her…;”(Eph 5:25-31) You do this right and you will have the second best marriage on the planet.

gold-intertwined-rings-with-crossFor the Christian, here is a guarantee. Just knowing Christ as your savior will not save your marriage. You must live Christ. He must be intertwined within the life of the marriage.

Just one final point; kind of a reminder.

Love is endless – you will never run out. When I got married I loved my wife more than I could possibly imagine. Then children started coming along and I loved them too. That love I had for my wife didn’t decrease so there was some left for the children; in fact my love for her grew even stronger over time. I love my fourth child no less than my first. The same process applies with the grandchildren. You never run out of love for them no matter how many you have.  God gave each of us an endless supply of love. However, He also gave us an on/off switch; it is called “free will.” We choose to love or choose to be selfish.

Please, allow love to win. You will never regret it.

Take courage, my friend.

I am Wylie’s wife, and I approve of this post. :)

Unborn Babies vs. Turkey Dinner

A few days ago the New York Times, AP, and other news sources ran articles about a PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) undercover operation at a West Virginia turkey farm, allegedly documenting cruelty to turkeys. They made a video and, if you are interested, you can find it on You Tube. Be warned, the video is graphic.

While the PETA video is certainly disgusting, the following picture and video describes a reality that PETA, the NY Times, and most of the left leaning individuals and groups in this country fail to acknowledge. If only they would have the courage to look at this picture and view the video that follows; hearts would break, tears would fall, minds would change, and forgiveness would be sought.

 


Actor/director Eduardo Verástegui presents the following video - Dura Realidad (Hard Truth). Be forewarned, it is deeply disturbing, but everyone needs to see it. (Warning: don’t let your pre-teens view this video)

This video was embedded using the YouTuber plugin by Roy Tanck. Adobe Flash Player is required to view the video.

I kind of want to apologize for my lack of moral indignation over the cruelty to turkeys, but until PETA, along with the NY Times, and other so-called mainstream media produce undercover video of the slaughter taking place in abortion mills around the country, and produce it in the news casts and on the  front pages of their newspapers and magazines, I and millions of others will just have to continue to stand up for Human life issues and speak out for the littlest persons that have no voice.

I will close by wishing you a

Happy Thanksgiving.

We will be having two turkeys with all the fixins. Enjoy!

Take courage, my friend.

—————————

The following is an update to this post taken from the days news headlines.

Shoppers Nab Carjacking Suspect With Frozen Turkey (near Raleigh, NC)

The story reads in part: “Authorities say a shopper clubbed an alleged carjacker with a frozen turkey as he was beating a woman while trying to steal her car from a grocery store parking lot.

Despite serious head injuries, he got away… but not for long.”

I think PETA should give this poor turkey a posthumous award for bravery. This turkey went above and beyond the call of dinner duty and deserves proper recognition.

U.S Catholic Bishops & the Elephants in the Room


For the last 40 years the U.S. Catholic Bishops, to a great extent, have ignored the elephant in the room. The problems have now compounded to the point that it takes two elephants to carry the load. However, it appears that the bishops have finally seen the elephants and have garnered the courage to tackle some of the problems. Just look at the following headlines.

Bishop Blasts Pro-Choice Politicians
US bishops warn Obama on abortion issues
Catholic bishops plan to forcefully confront Obama
Bishops Fire Warning Shot Across Bow of HHS Obama
Bishops Call Obama-Supported Abortion Rights Bill a Threat to Catholic Church
U.S. bishops swiftly and forcefully respond to pro-abortion policies from Obama

These headlines are just a sample of the dozens I found, and they are all from the same day. Unfortunately for unborn millions, it is too little, too late. The most pro-abortion candidate in history has been elected to the most powerful position in the world.

These are encouraging signs because it seems as if there have been more outspoken bishops in the last 40 days than in the previous 40 years.  

In 1968, after Pope Paul VI issued the encyclical Humanae Vitae (On Human Life), there was an outcry of dissent from hundreds, including bishops, theologians, priests, and others condemning the encyclical and the Pope. Arguably, this dissent fostered all the problems noted in the picture above, and many others as well. 

Imagine how different the world would be if the bishops had responded in 1968 as they have in these last 40 days. If they would have courageously supported the Pope, disciplined the offenders, properly catechized the laity, and continued to do so through the years, I dare say that there would be no elephants in the room today, and the scandals that have plagued the church for so many years would never have happened. Oh, and we would not have killed 50 million unborn babies. There is no questioning the fact that a well-formed Catholic laity could have changed the world.

It is my hope that the bishops will not only stand united in their efforts to protect life, but also come to realize that in order to form properly the conscience of the person in the pew there needs to be, once again, constant teaching from the pulpit. Get back to the basics. A 40 year diet of feel good homilies has contributed to most Catholics having a poorly formed conscience. We need sermons that teach, instill, inculcate the truths of the faith about the Real Presence, Church authority, heaven and hell, sin, importance of Confession, redemptive suffering, the right to life, just to name a few. For a longer list, just open the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

The bishops must also make it a priority to reach out to the millions of fallen away Catholics by outwardly encouraging and supporting Catholic radio, EWTN, and the myriad of faithful Catholic apostolates found on the Internet.

During this most recent bishops’ conference, St. Louis Auxiliary Bishop Robert Hermann said, “Any one of us here would consider it a privilege to die tomorrow to bring about the end of abortion.” I would hope that is the case, but if there were a secret ballot he may find a few no votes.

The Catholic faithful do not want their bishops to have to die so that the unborn may live. What we want is to see and hear the bishops unified and outspoken in their support for life throughout the year, not just on Respect Life weekend or at election time. We want to see them exercising true pastoral affection by disciplining dissident Catholic politicians and theologians who insist on publically disputing the truths of the Faith, and if they refuse to repent, to protect the unity of the Church by barring them from the sacraments. In short, we want leaders.

I call upon every Catholic to make a promise to your bishop: that you will pray for him every day. Pray that he has a listening ear to hear the promptings of the Holy Spirit, and the courage to follow them. Go ahead, write a letter or email him - today.

Take courage, my friend.

Christian Voters…and Your Continued Sacrifice of the Unborn

There is no way to sugarcoat this post. If you voted for Obama I am going to take you to task. You tell me how I am wrong.

Catholics, Protestants, Evangelicals, and all the rest of you so-called Christians, look at this picture and the ones in the preceding posts, here and here, and tell me how your vote for Obama was upholding your Christian values. You so often throw out the phrase “What Would Jesus Do?” to justify your belief in the importance of various other social issues.

Here is my question for you.

Do you really think Jesus would have voted for a candidate who has promised to do all in his power — and his power will now be great — to allow for the continued, unrestricted, killing of unborn babies? Do you really believe Jesus would have voted for Obama? If this is your belief, you can drop the Christian pretense. You may recall from scripture,  (Jn 10:10) “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.” Jesus continues in verse 11; “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep” and He did just that. He died so that we might live.  An unborn baby is part of we. If you are interested, the previous posts mentioned above will give you additional scriptures.



We have a merciful God who is waiting to forgive. If you have the courage, read the following post: More than 100 Million Wounded By Abortion Since Roe vs. Wade, it talks about God’s unfathomable mercy.

Let this be your conversion, like the one St. Paul had on the road to Emmaus, and start fighting for Life.

Take courage, my friend.

Democrats-Where does one put 50 million aborted babies?

Our investigative report has found the following:

Aborted Baby Disposal Procedure

1. Call Disposal service (have them pull up to the back door)
2. Dump babies in bucket
3. Take to landfill for burial disposal
4. Unlock front door and set out “Open for Business” sign





















Maybe I exaggerate, maybe not, but Where does one put 50 million aborted babies?

Life must prevail!!! By life I mean; babies, human beings, little children, kids, little ones, the innocent, unforgettable laughs and smiles, occasional heartache, and always the greatest hugs anyone could ever imagine.

By voting for McCain you give life a chance. You give children a chance to play in the fields instead of becoming part of the field.

Don’t any of you “Christians for Obama” have any integrity left? I will only give you one scripture: “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these (Matthew 19:14).” I would say abortion is the ultimate hindrance.

Now, if your integrity is still intact and you are open to hearing the truth, I recommend you scroll down the home page and read the other posts. Hopefully, you will come to your senses. Babies are a gift, not a burden. 

One final question; don’t any of you Obama voters have a heart? If you look at these images — I purposefully left out the graphic body parts — and just think I am over-the-top-stupid, then I say you need to see a cardiologist because you are an absolute miracle. You are a walking, talking, human being with no heart.

Do the right thing. Vote for Life. This means no voting for Obama and no to practically every other democrat as well

Take courage my friend.

Crucifixion of Christ…version 2008

An Open Letter To The Unborn

 

My little ones. I died so that you too might have life. I am sorry that so many Christians continue to turn their backs on you and Me by voting for pro-abortion candidates.  Their voting for these candidates will perpetuate the killing of millions of your brothers and sisters in the womb.

I had hoped that after 35 years of abortion on demand, selfishness and greed would finally give way to Love.

Be consoled, my little ones, I will take care of you as I have for those millions already killed by abortion.

signed 

Jesus Christ

Take courage my friend.
