Abortion and Adoption: What Her Mom Did

In my last blog, on talking to my adopted child about the birds and the bees (and the fish!) I promised to share the next big conversation that took place the week after. Meg was perusing a Christian catalog which offered books, games, artwork, and clothing for both children and adults. She came upon a page of products for people in pro-life ministry, especially anti-abortion ministry. These were products such as “little feet” stamps and shirts, bumper stickers and prayer cards with various images and wording, etc. With her newfound reading ability, she read a bumper sticker aloud: “Choose Life, … Continue reading

Abortion: A Pregnant Mom is Still a Mom

Since nearly the beginning of humanity, there have been problems and people have been faced with circumstances that are not ideal. January 22, 1973 abortion was deemed as a constitutional right for women, justifying the termination of their unborn child should they be faced with unfortunate circumstances or decide they just don’t want to be a mother at the time. I don’t believe for most women the decision to terminate their unborn baby’s life is an easy one. I’ll admit I am grieved by the fact there are clinics that provide the option of a pregnancy termination before offering real … Continue reading

Mel Gibson: The Truth Shall Set You Free

He may be the ultimate hypocrite, but at least he’s honest. Not that telling the truth will save him from eternal damnation… but who am I to judge? If you watched Mel Gibson’s “performance” on NBC’s “Tonight Show” earlier this week, there’s one thing you can’t deny the Hollywood mega-star—-he’s one heck of an actor. The 53-year-old “Lethal Weapon” star showed up clean-shaven, looking relaxed in jeans, a white shirt and a blue jacket. However, it didn’t take long before he became a fidgety, sweat-drenched mess. And well he should have been. After all, acting takes effort. Gibson’s performance began … Continue reading

Babies in the News: Japan’s Baby Mail Box

Last week, a city in southern Japan opened what can only be described as a mail box for babies. It is similar to our ‘safe haven’ laws, where a parent can drop a baby off at a hospital. . .no questions asked. The purpose of safe haven laws in the United States is to deter pregnant mothers from abandoning their babies in unsuitable conditions. At least if they’re dropped off at the hospital, they have a chance at life. In Japan, the purpose of the baby mail box is similar although a little different. Japanese health officials actually want to … Continue reading

Week in Review: The Virtuous Wife to God’s Will

This week I shared about the Proverbs 31 woman and how we can strive to be like her, how people can open themselves to Satan’s realm by activities that involve mind submission, the parental role of a mother while she’s pregnant, and what it means to really turn your will over to God. A friend of mine recommended I write a blog on The Proverbs 31 Woman: The Virtuous Wife where I could share ways I have applied her example in my own life. It was a really neat activity to try and helped me to see where I could … Continue reading
