Perspective

The Consequences of Roe v. Wade

49,551,703

Total Abortions since 1973

compare that to:

Estimated Canadian population – 33,722,577

Estimated California population – 36,756,666

or you can compare it to these numbers:

Number of people killed by Stalin – 25,700 Polish POWs were executed on 5 March 1940, pursuant to a note from to Stalin from Lavrenty Beria, the members of the Soviet Politburo,[146][147] in what became known as the Katyn massacre.[148][146][149]

Number of people killed by Hitler – the total number of Holocaust victims is between 11 million and 17 million people.[5]

I don’t know about you, but these numbers are staggering to me. We mourn for those lost during these tragic times in history, as well we should. Each life is precious. But instead of mourning the deaths of all the innocent lives taken LEGALLY by abortion, it’s a political hot button and one that is always up for debate. And now, our President is working very hard to pass a new” health care” plan, that will more likely than not, include payment for abortion. That our tax dollars will fund. When is the killing going to stop? When is this nation going to stand up and say, enough is enough. How many times have we heard, “our children are our future?”, songs are even written about it. Lets stop killing our future generations.

THE LORD’S BASEBALL GAME

I  don’t know where this story originated, so I can’t give credit where it’s due, but I thank my dear friend for e mailing it to me!

THE LORD’S BASEBALL GAME

Freddy and the Lord stood by to observe a baseball game. The Lord’s team was playing Satan’s team.

The Lord’s team was at bat, the score was tied zero to zero, and it was the bottom of the 9th inning with two outs. They continued to watch as a batter stepped up to the plate named ‘Love.’ Love swung at the first pitch and hit a single, because ‘Love never fails.’

The next batter was named Faith, who also got a single because Faith works with Love.

The next batter up was named Godly Wisdom. Satan wound up and threw the first pitch. Godly Wisdom looked it over and let it pass: Ball one. Three more pitches and Godly Wisdom walked because he never swings at what Satan throws.

The bases were now loaded. The Lord then turned to Freddy and told him He was now going to bring in His star player. Up to the plate stepped Grace. Freddy said, ‘He sure doesn’t look like much!’ Satan’s whole team relaxed when they sawGrace.
Thinking he had won the game, Satan wound up and fired his first pitch. To the shock of everyone, Grace hit the ball harder than anyone had ever seen! But Satan was not worried; his center fielder let very few get by.

He went up for the ball, but it went right through his glove, hit him on the head and sent him crashing on the ground; the roaring crowds went wild as the ball continued over the fence . . for a home run!
The Lord’s team won!

The Lord then asked Freddy if he knew why Love, Faith, and Godly Wisdom could get on base but couldn’t win the game. Freddy answered that he didn’t know why.

The Lord explained, ‘If your love, faith and wisdom had won the game, you would think you had done it by yourself. Love, Faith and Wisdom will get you on base but only My Grace can get you Home:

‘For by Grace are you saved, it is a gift of God; not of works, lest any man should boast.’ Ephesians 2:8-9

Psalm 84:11, ‘For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord will give grace and glory; no good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly.’

Blessings In Him!!!

Best history lesson EVER!

Of all the things to do while in Maui, you wouldn’t think that getting the best history lesson I’ve ever had would be one of them. But of the week spent in Maui, having the privilege of sitting in during Zale’s conference and hearing the truths about our Founding Fathers (especially so close to our Independence Day) was amazing and in my top favorites of what we did during our trip!

During Zale’s National Litigation Academy sponsored by the Alliance Defense Fund, they had a three part session presented by David Barton of WallBuilders. This was the most fascinating history lesson I’ve ever received. Talk about having facts to back up what you’re teaching, this organization has the original documents that our Founding Fathers wrote during the time that the Constitution and Bill of Rights was written. Letters to each other, journals, minutes, you name it, they probably have it.

I encourage you to check out their website and learn the truth about Separation between Church and State. Learn the truth about our founding fathers being men of God instead of atheist or agnostic as we are led to believe now. Learn the truth about the history of our nation, not the watered down or altered version that so many want us to believe. Learn the truth about why this great country was formed to begin with. Learn the truth about the sacrifices our founding fathers made to ensure the freedom of future generations. Including ours. Let their pain, suffering, and sacrifice not be in vain because we are too lazy or scared to stand by their example and continue the  fight of our religious freedoms. As citizens of this great country, it’s our responsibility to carry on their work, and one that shouldn’t be taken lightly.

I pray that God will continue to Bless America, and as one of my spiritual mentors once said, America, let’s start Blessing God!

Big God

This was e mailed to me in 2000 by a very dear friend. I found it a week or so ago as I was looking through boxes from the attic and thought it should be shared. Hope it blesses and encourages you as it did me.

This is a story about a little girl who, on the way home from church, turned to her mother and and said, “Mommy, the Preacher’s sermon this morning confused me.”

The mother said, “Oh! Why is that?”

The girl replied, “Well, he said that God is bigger that we are. Is that true?”

“Yes, that’s true.” the mother replied.

“He also said that God lives within us. Is that true too?”

Again the mother replied, “Yes”.

“Well,” said the girl. “If God is bigger than us and He lives in us, wouldn’t He show through?”

And another wonderful quote I heard from one of my woman’s LifeGroups this week (don’t have a clue who originally said this one either) is this:

“Don’t tell God how big your storm is, tell the storm how big your God is!”

Blessings in Him!
