May God rest your soul, Uncle Frank

My cousin called this evening. He called to tell me that his father had passed away around five thirty p.m. While talking with Dave I recalled the bigger than life man that Frank was - he was the 'hip' uncle, he was the uncle that drove a convertible sports car, he was the uncle that wore the latest fashions and the uncle that would never be uncool...

Frank, like all of us, was mortal. Fourteen years ago, he suffered a serious stroke which left him unable to swallow. He was fed by a feeding tube for all of those years, but he still never missed a beat in his larger than life persona.

Several years ago we visited with Frank and the family - although he was frail, he still soldiered on and zipped here and there, still showing us places that our sons might like to see in his area.

Tonight, Frank has seen the face of God - a God he did not believe in. A God he often mocked. He did not like religion, Frank did not - but God loved Frank just the same.

Tonight, as we were saying grace before our meal, we added the "May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace" - I believe those words may have been meant for Uncle Frank in a special way. The timing of our prayers and the passing of Uncle Frank were at the same time.

Frank was two weeks away from his 90th birthday.

Good night, Frank - Good night.

Three hundred and fifty million dollars

Four months and six months old...

I cannot imagine how far that money would go to help families in this troubled economy of ours.

Three hundred and fifty million dollars is what has been given, through our tax dollars, to Planned Deathhood, LAST year ALONE, to further the culture of death. Imagine - giving $350,000,000.00 to a corporation that kills human beings. Imagine giving $350,000,000.00 to a corporation that makes its clients pay for their services.

I am opposed to abortion. I am opposed to the killing of the most innocent among us. I am opposed to my taxes going to Planned Deathhood to further the culture of death.

I have signed this petition to let our law makers know that I do not like being taxed to kill human beings. Please take a minute to do the same. Thank you.

Side bar...

I have posted a video on the side bar that had been posted on You Tube, but was removed without comment.

Planned Deathhood has lied once again ... they say that the video is not that of an abortion - that this is not at all what they do. Oh yah ... right -

But, what can you expect from people who think it is perfectly permissible to tear a baby apart and dump it into a garbage can? Character - it is all about character.

You Tube - why are you scared to show the truth? I am not.

Supreme Court Justice Ginsburg

Please, someone, tell me that this woman is not for real....

Ginsburg: I thought Roe was to rid undesirables
Justice discusses 'growth in populations that we don't want to have too many of'

Can you imagine???? Read more here. Just who is undesirable and who is to decide who is undesirable? Justice Ginsburg, your philosophy is undesireable.

God is GOOD, always

and in this case, Christina has decided against aborting her child. Praise God! She is concerned about telling her mother that she is pregnant, so please continue to be in prayer for her and for the father of the baby, who is stepping up to the plate of fatherhood.

Please pray for a dear dear friend of mine whose husband has lung cancer. It is pretty much inoperable, sans a lung transplant, but other medical issues make that likelihood close to zero. Please pray for them as they navigate this difficult medical situation.

Please pray for my friend as she is the sole care giver of her elderly father and he is becoming less and less lucid.

Please pray for Don as he goes through his cancer treatments. Don and his beautiful wife are converts to Holy Mother Church from the Assemblies of God and have brought their heart for missionary work with them to Africa and have assisted many in Uganda.

For all these prayers and for your intentions, Lord Hear Our Prayer -

Prayers for Christina

who is considering an abortion.

There are many women, day in and day out who feel they have no choice but to abort their child. Let us pray for all of them and for those who participate in abortion, for them to know God's love and for them to know that aborting children does not solve a situation, but indeed, only makes the situation one that kills innocent life and injures all of those involved.

Lord, hear our prayer - Blessings - Lee Anne

Singer Cheb Mami gets five years in prison ...

"Now, he will be remembered for his part to force his girlfriend to have an abortion.

Following the decision, he broke down in tears and admitted to making a "serious mistake" adding that he felt "trapped" when she told him she was pregnant.

"I was ashamed to have an illegitimate child. A child should be born from a union. I didn't want this child," he told the court."

What I find to be very interesting is his statement - "A child should be born from a union" and I just wonder what he thought he was doing when he was having sexual intercourse with this woman. Did that not constitute a union? He wanted to have sexual relations but not be responsible for that action.

He will spend five years in prison for forcing his girlfriend (who he did not form a union with, apparently) to have an abortion. I wonder when we will get some common sense back in our nation and that murder, the intentional taking of life, which abortion is, should be punishable by life in prison. Read more here.

True, the laws do not read that way at this time and I am not advocating that we punish those who have had abortions, for God knows they punish themselves enough, but I do advocate changing the laws back to the real meaning of "thou shall not kill."

Last Wednesday, I watched a man pressuring a woman to go into Planned Deathhood - he was offended when I held my sign "I regret my abortion" along with another sign that had the phone number for free material assistance. He yelled at me to get off private property - property, that was not his,and it was not Planned Deathhoods' either.

I watched as she reluctantly followed him into the building and then watched as they both came out about half an hour later and went and sat in a new model BMW. I saw a lot of gesturing by her and after about ten minutes, they got out of the car and went into the building again. I do believe that she had been worn down enough to kill her child - but against her will.

Will this man ever be convicted of "forcing" this woman to kill her child? No, probably not in a court of law, but in natural law, he will be. Coercion is wrong. Today this woman is without the baby she nestled within her womb - I cannot imagine that she is happy about having done what he wanted her to do. And statistically, he will leave her high and dry now - even though he probably told her that he would not stay with her nor support the baby if she kept it.

Lord have mercy on our nation for killing our most innocent...

Yemeni style of justice...killed for raping an eleven year old. This reminds how fortunate we are to live in the United States - having just been on a jury for a child rape, I am grateful that we do not met out "justice" in this way.

Funny things and sad ones too

Funny things happen at Planned Deathhood on Riddel Road in East Bremerton. Today was abortion day - there is nothing funny about that...at least two women came out after having had abortions in the ninety minutes I was there. I felt so badly for them.

One of the drivers in a car that left the driveway of Planned Deathhood began yelling at us. Since I was too far away to hear her, I approached her car. She said "Why do you do this b.s.* stuff. Don't you have any f-g better to do but say all this b.s. sh-t?" She then went on to rant "I have kids in my car and I have to tell them about this sh-t."

I said, "You do have children in your car. And you are worried about what they see and hear...but listen to the words that you are using. Do you object to the word, f, b.s. and sh-t?"

She looked rather startled that I had repeated the obscenities to her. She thought for a nano second and then said "No, that's fine...but you, your b.s. and all the lies. What do you want to do - make children suffer? Do you want to have them abused?"

The funny part is that the children in her car were all bunched together in the back seat, no car seats and she was in clear violation of the law...but she was just fine in yelling obscenities.

I asked her how any child was being abused by us being at the sight, praying. I told her that I had had an abortion 39 years ago and I wanted to warn people against having one.

To that she answered "that you bad, not my bad."

So, this woman in her own way acknowledged that abortion was bad, but she was mad at us for praying for women not to have abortions.

This is so the world today - confused, irrational and funny - not in the ha-ha sense, but in a touched in the head sense. I fear that most of our culture cannot think rationally, but follow blindly, the rhetoric that they hear and have no idea of how to think for themselves.

The sad thing - two women came out of Planned Deathhood today, both of them, walking slowly and painfully, with brown paper bags in their hands. They had sweats on and one could tell that they had just had abortions...two innocent lives were taken today within the ninety minute period that I was there. I cried.

I cried for the women who gave their children up to death for whatever reason and I cried for the lives that were terminated way too early.
