This past week, the news showed a woman from a popular show expressing her amazed astonishment that the Alaskan Governor could possibly actually, really and truly believe that God has a plan. Who could possibly believe that God, the creator of the universe, in all it's splendor, beauty and order, would have a plan for what He created? How outrageous is that?
There may be other minds at sixes and sevens over that idea. It's heartbreaking to see such faces in the crowd. They are worthy of our compassion and our prayers.
The Right to Life adherents speak out for the silent voices of the unborn. Pro Death adherents cry out "Kill them, kill them", echoing the centuries old "crucify Him, crucify Him".
One wonders what it is that causes the nearly rabid reaction from those who deny God; when those who wish to know, love and serve Him call for prayer and obedience to the law of God. Any sane mind wonders why prayer and adherence to reasonable laws would cause such virulent hatred.
The first three of the Ten Commandments refer to God and how we are to relate to Him as creatures to the Creator. The other seven commandments relate to us how we must treat each other.
The rabid hoards of liberals who have deleted the first three commandments, have also decreed that the other seven are pretty iffy. They have codicils, provisos and extenuating circumstances.
Does one need to wonder for very long why the world is groaning in pain and on the edge of suicide?
I don't think so!

It's a question of "choice"
Choice. Now there's a word.
Choice has been used as a sword to slaughter infants in the womb throughout history. Please don't be naive enough to think abortion is a new concept. A little study shows even the ancient cultures knew there were choices in the event of an unplanned pregnancy.
Drinking brake fluid is a choice, but it's not recommended. Jumping of the Grand Canyon bridge is a choice but neither is that recommended. Holding up a lightening rod in a thunderstorm is a choice but that has nasty consequences too.
The point? The point is, there are many choices in life, not all of those choices are either good or advantageous.
The "Pro Choice" (the biggest misnomer in history, since killing is not exactly a choice, it's putting an end to life, which in reasonable minds means murder) movement would have you believe that the choice to end a life is a good thing. Choosing to go slaughter your neighbor and rob them of all their possessions IS NOT a good thing. Choosing to kill an unborn child is NOT a good choice to make. It offends the God who brought the life into being and it diminishes all those who are involved and makes them less human.
Contrary to the noxious acid that falls from the lips of the "Pro Death" crowd, self control and abstinence are choices. They are the best choices.
So, you say, what about those women who become pregnant? Again I say "Hello"? Whatever happened to the idea that mature adult people and those who have aspirations to being mature adult people take responsibility for their actions?
Friends, mature adult people and those who have aspirations to be mature adult people, make the right choices. Mature adult people don't make decisions of life and death based on what is convenient.
Mature adult people know unequivocally that there is a good and a bad, a right and a wrong, a holy and an evil. Mature adult people, while not perfect, still making mistakes, errors in judgment and occasionally doing wrong, attempt, with thoughtful reasoning in their daily lives, to make the right choice.
