We are on a small hill overlooking surrounding horse ranches and fruit orchards. The hills are green, and the fruit orchards in the spring, with their beautiful blossoms are a treat for the eyes whenever we look out the windows.

"Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed for destruction."
Proverbs 31:8
" If
Thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O LORD, who should stand? But
there is forgiveness with Thee, that Thou mayest be feared. I wait for
the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in His word do I hope."
PSALM 130:3-5

STUDIES SHOW: Abortion has become the most common surgical
procedure in America. Over 99% of ALL abortions have NOTHING at all to
do with the life or health or mother or child. They are done simply for
convenience, or because of distress or panic.It is presented as a quick
and easy way to get rid of an annoying problem. When women seek help
from professional abortion counselors, they are not given the truth
about what they are about to do to themselves and their child. They
don't tell the straight facts. They also don't tell of the trauma many
women suffer after the abortion. The weeping they do for their lost
baby when they are enlightened to the REAL facts. This is not a "blob"
of tissue. This is not "just like one of your internal organs". This is
a child. Thank God we have Jesus to bring healing to the hurts. It is
not just the mammas that weep for the unborn dead. It is the fathers,
grandmothers and grandfathers, the sisters and brothers, and the aunts
and uncles. I know. It is a burden to know what those little babies
look like, what they go through, when others seem to be hardened and
ignorant. It is a burden on my heart to share the message that it is
not a women's right to choose...it is a precious baby that will
suffer and cry and bleed when it dies. Don't believe for a minute that
isn't the cold, hard truth. But Jesus forgives...He wipes the slate
clean for His forgiven. I personally have not had an abortion, but I
know MANY who have, and I have counseled many who did and many who were
considering it. I know the wreckage afterward, and I just HIGHLY
suggest YOU know the facts for yourself, and for those you know and
care about. Find your local phonebook and look for a Crisis Pregnancy
Center for free info to take home and read and share. Planned
Parenthood isn't what you think, despite their slick adds. You won't
get the truth there.
God understands sorrow for lost children:
This is what the LORD says: "A voice is heard in Ramah, mourning and
great weeping, Rachel weeping for her children and refusing to be
comforted, because her children are no more." Jeremiah 31:15
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
God also offers GRACE; forgiving and healing.
"Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a
new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way
in the desert and streams in the wasteland." Isaiah 43:18-19
Here is a link to a news article on the tiniest, sweet little girl born
at 26 weeks (an age when abortions are routinely performed!). She is
alive, well, beautiful, and as you can see, fully developed. When I
worked as a Crisis Pregnancy Consultant I was often informed by someone
looking mistakenly for us to help find an abortionist, that they had
been told by a "Doctor" (I use that term loosely, as most good doctors
do not have to resort to this sort of ugly practice) that the baby they
carried was just a blob of tissue, like one of their organs, not really
a baby "yet". Baloney. Just when exactly is a baby a baby? Well,
research for yourself, take a look at the link below for the article I
referred to, and then you decide. If you are a thinking person, you
will want to know for yourself, right? Not let someone with suspicious
motives (a lucrative money making business) tell you.

The baby you will see when you click on the above link is the same age
as an unborn baby aborted by a friend of mine. Look closely and you
will see this is a perfectly formed baby. Not a blob.
National Geographic Channel: In the Womb
http://www.nationalgeographic.com/channel/inthewomb/index.html
"Before it takes its first breath, a human baby has been through an
incredible transformation...from a single cell to a complex, self-sustaining
organism. With ground-breaking photography, computer graphics, and 4-D
imaging, In the Womb reveals this amazing process as the first heart cells
begin to beat, the nerve cells flicker to life, and the senses develop."
The preview of the program is available as well as a Photo Gallery featuring
'images from an in-utero surgery with a fetoscope.'
On the same subject, PBS's Nova series has posted its companion site to
Life's Greatest Miracle (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/miracle/). One of the
most popular NOVA program ever aired, you'll have access to a variety of
related material, from a mother-to-be's journal describing the delight,
fear, and wonder through pregnancy and the birth process, to explanations of
diagnostic and screening techniques currently used to assess the health of
an unborn child in this high-tech world. Life is indeed a miracle!
~SOME WELL DOCUMENTED FACTS~
He is a life; a created being whose little heart has been beating since
the 14-28th day after conception. His brain waves can be read by the
43rd
day. All body organs are present and working.By six weeks he is kicking
his little legs and arms. He is extremely sensitive
to pain, sounds, pressure, and light by eight weeks. He also has his
own unique fingerprints, urinates, and can make a strong fist! He cries
and sucks his thumb. Any
doctor or nurse who says otherwise is lying. Here
are some links that
are not for the squeamish. Children should not see these. I'm not
kidding! This is gruesome stuff- but citizens should know what they are
talking about when they say "it's a choice." It's a person. Abortion is
murder. If you think it's not then you don't have all the information
you need to make an informed choice. If you are an intelligent person
with a right to your own opinion then at least know the whole truth and
then if you still maintain your opinion, well, then that issue is
between you and the Almighty God.
