Ganglionic

I will admit it.  I have been staring at this screen for about 15 minutes.  I type a few sentences and then read and delete.  It just happened about 3 times before I typed THIS sentence.  The thing is I have been wanting to report on all this for a few days now but I put it off because it was Mother's Day.  It was a also a great weekend with the Open House.  I DO love to share joyous things and there is a time and place for everything.  "I can't blog on disturbing issues today....it's National Sea Monkey Day!"  Yes, it really is.  No, actually, since it turned midnight 11 minutes ago, it is now Armed Forces Day and also National Pack Rat Day. 

 The problem I am having is that it is not just one story.  As one of our dear members of our church youth group likes to say, "It is about connections" (he would interlace fingers at this juncture for emphasis and oh by the way, have I ever mentioned our church youth group is PHENOMENAL?  Boasting in the Lord here).  I have about 4 or 5 different stories that all boil down to one theme.  So why ever did I start this at 11:40?   It is Friday night and I do not have to be anywhere in the morning.  I stayed up late last night and I do not want to start this pattern of late nights.  

Also, I need to organize and the stuff is just swirling around my mind.  Stuff swirling around in my mind  does not make a pretty picture.  This is not an essay for Composition class but I do like to have some semblance of order.  Too late for that!  How does one eat an elephant?  One bite at a time! 

This is one of the stories I almost posted as a lone link and it got my blood boiling!  I will post it now and follow up tomorrow.  


Planned Parenthood Covers Up Rape...Again!

The prayer request is pretty evident with this article.  SO GLAD our Father in Heaven hears and cares! 

Tulips, Rubies and Pearls

Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies. She watches over the ways of her household, And does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and call her blessed; Her husband also, and he praises her:  Proverbs 31:10, 27-28


This pro-life blog lady is hardly ever around and she is usually late in acknowledging holidays.  Does she eat the bread of idleness?

Sometimes I do.

BUT NOT THIS WEEK!!! Really and for truly, it has been a busy week.  There have been a lot of stories in the news that I have wanted to address.  I thought about just posting the article links only to direct attention to the highlights with no commentary.  Many of my readers are already on top of links and the latest news so I did not do that.  Any time  you want to contribute something new  (pro-life related) from your area's news, please let me know.

This is a belated Mother's Day Greeting to all the mom's yonder out there.  I share these tulips with you all.  I was blessed by my husband, son and daughter on Mother's Day.  I would love to share real flowers with all of you but these virtual ones will have to do. 

We had our church picnic and our crisis pregnancy center's open house scheduled at the same time.  Both were successful and it was a very pretty day weather-wise.  It was a pretty fun and exciting day!

Recently, a great deal of renovation was completed at the center.  It has been exciting to see the changes of new carpet, fresh paint, updated decor and improved allocation of space. God will accomplish His work in all kinds of surroundings.  We have been grateful to have a location that has supplied so much to serve the families of our community.  Yet now this same location is now remarkably spruced up which makes the place extra special!  Returning clients have commented on how nice it looks.  I love it when they come and say, "Do I have the right place?"  I have heard that twice now but others at the cpc have heard it too. 

Eventually, the goal is to expand with our own building but until that becomes a reality, this renovation will certainly help in the stewardship of the present resources.  Plus, it is a bright and welcoming place for our clients to enjoy.  God willing, it will just get better.  Please continue to pray for this little sanctuary which with His light, shines in a place that has a reputation for darkness.  When one also considers that over 3,300 babies are killed every day from abortion, it is also a time of darkness and we definitely need that little sanctuary of Christian hope right now.

Since it was Mother's Day weekend, it was fitting to celebrate the 30,000 new mothers that have been ministered to and served over the past 30 years of operation.  It has been because of God's faithfulness and His dedicated servants that our little crisis pregnancy center has stayed open.  This community's (churches, individuals, businesses, etc.) generosity of baby clothes, formula, diapers, educational pamphlets, evangelism tracts, monetary gifts, office supplies, hours and hours of volunteer labor/tasks, all kinds of services in the form of cleaning and repairs, as well as hours of outreach. 

We have experienced thirty years of this generosity!  It is the Good Samaritan community that does not leave the neighbor for dead like some of the others did.  Instead, the Good Samaritan takes that hurt soul to the inn and says (and yes, I am paraphrasing), "Help me care for this person.  Let us partner to bring this soul to full health."  This applies to also being kind to the wicked and unjust, not just the people we like!  We just want to apply His word, share the Great Commission, obey and love Him and love others like He loved/loves us.  Until He takes us home, that is what we will keep doing. 

Since it was the crisis pregnancy center's 30th anniversary and that is the "pearl" anniversary, I looked up pearl in the Bible and came across this: 
Matthew 13:45-46
 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls,  who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it.

GRATEFUL!!!!

VICTORY!  He has conquered death! 


HAPPY RESURRECTION DAY!!!! 

The Multitudes

Sometimes it is really difficult to wrap our minds around numbers.  Someone sent me an email many years ago showing what a million looked like but I think the focus was in a million cigarettes, plastic bottles and plastic bags.  I went searching to see if it was out there on the "intraweb" as my husband jokingly calls it.  There was no success but it was a cursory search. 

Immediately, I thought of the number of babies lost to abortion when this email came to me.  Over the years, I have seen different examples to show what that loss would look like.  The above video shows it in states which is helpful but you have to have a good idea of population in those locations.  Someone from New York may not have an inkling of what Montana's population is like.  Although, some from New York may be more concerned about the moose population over the people population (notice I said "some").  Likewise, any person who has never visited a city over 1 million in population may not grasp 1 million people missing. 

Unless you lined people up, or placed them in a stadium or however you like to picture it, the number of 55,000,000 is not easy to understand.  I am not a numbers-crunchin' kind of gal.  Yet, another video came to light recently that did help me grasp the horrible enormity of human life lost.

Even ONE abortion is too many.  The standard is high....zero abortions.  Since 1973, our nation has been annhilated by the sin of secular humanism.  The sin of pride that says that humans are higher than God and humans ways are better than God's ways, not the other way around. 

I watched this video and kept saying "Stop" and "Oh no, not another container....certainly this is the last".  I thought about a lot of people God created who never got a chance to live their lives.  Then I started thinking about the people God created who I know now.  Think of a thousand people you  know either presently or have known in the past.  Even those 1,000 would only represent one bead in that cylinder. 

Sidenote here:  I love babies very much.  My family kind of pokes gentle fun about my love for babies and how I will always zero in on babies (and toddlers) in public.  The world is going to Hell in a luge but a sleeping baby or a little toddler waving hello just gives me that one little moment of bliss.  I will still take the picture of a baby spitting-up and a toddler throwing a tantrum over having to see or hear Alan Grayson or Debbie Wasserman-Schultz/Wendy Davis.  Who?  Oh, politicians having tantrums and whine-fest spit-ups.  Gotcha'!

The reason I bring up babies is that one in four babies is aborted.  Can you imagine going out today and counting one out of four babies as gone?  That's sick and heartbreaking.  The ironic thing is we may never know if one of those babies was rescued at the last minute from abortion.  I know of some and I am so grateful they are here with us. 

In my family we have had 17 people (and most likely it will keep growing) born as a result of one woman making a choice for life instead of death.  Out of the 8 grandchildren, we may see 16 or 24 + great-grandchildren someday.   When you think of the family trees missing from 55 million (and that number is the least amount of recorded, surgical abortions since 1973), we are missing many more cylinders of people.......just for the United States. 

It is mind-boggling.  Some will scream "population control" and "overcrowded planet" but I have long since learned that those are lies just like every lie that is attached with abortion. 

I am going to end this blog on a vision that takes place in Heaven.  The video is of an empty glass cylinder.  All abortions stopped, all of the beads gone.  The babies who were aborted are there along with the babies who died from miscarriage as well as the babies who died just hours, days, weeks, months (and yes, toddlers...) after their earthly arrival.  King David lost his baby son and he said, "And he said, “While the child was alive, I fasted and wept; for I said, ‘Who can tell whether the Lord will be gracious to me, that the child may live?’ But now he is dead; why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.” 2 Samuel 12:22-23.

I know God is good, just and compassionate.  His promises are faithful.  While I do not know specifically all of His plans and ways because He is God, I know and trust in His plans and ways will be perfect.  Heaven will be a place of no more pain and no more tears!   I am looking forward to Revelation 22:20-21  He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.”
Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!  The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

AND GOD's CHILDREN SAY.....AMEN!!!!!

Boston Planned Parenthood

Today was the funeral for Lakisha Wilson, a young woman who was recently killed (along with her baby) at an abortion facility in Cleveland, Ohio. 

There is a followup story out of Boston.  The report reveals more details about the episode that took place March 12, 2014.  
 Boston Planned Parenthood. 

I also came across this article today also.  Carving initials in pregnant woman's stomach.....

There are quite a few pro-abortion people on my facebook page and the only response from them is SILENCE.   They post about Caylee Anthony's murder trial ("oh the injustice of that trial") and place multiple posts about  bullying.....but there is no response for the ultimate bullying....the killing of a baby.  There is no response about the injustice of letting an abortionist free to kill women and babies another day. They defend Planned Parenthood who has been documented for covering up child rape and forced abortions.

I will keep trumpeting this message over and over.  Maybe some will tire of it and maybe some will share.  If I turn blue from all my trumpeting,....so be it.  Maybe someone will find this blog and share it and save a woman and her baby's life.  Even if it is for that one mom and her baby, it will have been worth it.

Maybe one pro-abortion dupe (like I used to be) will finally see the light and start her or his own blog and influence a new community.  Maybe she or he will do more than that.  I just pray that we can prevent more Lakisha Wilson's, Jennifer Morbelli's, Tonya Reaves', and the hundreds of others like them who have been swept under the rug. 


Proverbs 24:11-12
Deliver those who are drawn toward death, And hold back those stumbling to the slaughter.
If you say, “Surely we did not know this,” Does not He who weighs the hearts consider it? He who keeps your soul, does He not know it? And will He not render to each  man according to his deeds?

Lakisha Wilson

If you have not read the latest report in the pro-life circles, please click on the following link to familiarize yourself:
Lakisha Wilson

On the morning of March 21, 2014, Lakisha was getting ready for her abortion appointment.  Tragically, it was not her first appointment of the kind.  She knew the procedure and she might have known that facility very well. Yet, I doubt she ever gave it one thought that she would end up the subject of some lady's pro-life blog over 1,000 miles away just days later. 

Abortionists and their proponents would love nothing better than to sweep Lakisha's name and story under the rug.  They do not want you to know a woman died as a result of a lie which keeps them in plenty of business!  They claim abortion is safe and out of the mythical "back-alley" and they have a lot of people fooled..  I hear the regurgitated lies from the 1960's repeated ad nauseum on the pro-life websites wherever comments are allowed.  For you to know the truth would be an end to the abortionists' lavish lifestyles.  It would be an end of a sick power and hatred that feeds this industry.  Where is this abortionist?  Does this abortionist care about the young mother's death or just care about getting caught?  Most likely the abortionist only cares for the latter.

The proverbial rug and broom have to go!  Lakisha's story is not going to be forgotten.  These abortionists and their ilk should have no place to hide.  There should be no safe harbor for their practices and excuses.  As soon as more information comes to light, it will be posted here and frequently.

This following link belongs to a pro-life pioneer.
Many, many more.....

I encourage you to read the stories of these women.  Given that 1 out of 3 women in childbearing ages will have had an abortion by the age of 45, you are in contact with someone who has had an abortion.  She may have not confided as such to you, but these women (both the dead and the injured) are our loved ones....wives, daughters, sisters, aunts, grandmothers, cousins, nieces, neighbors, coworkers, classmates and fellow churchmembers.  For their sakes, let us be the mouthpieces so no more abortionists will ever hurt any of our loved ones/neighbors ever again!!!

“He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.  And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.  For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.  John 3:18-20

My Giant Spotlight

Gosnell: The Movie

Friends,

Remember Kermit Gosnell? The serial killing abortionist from Philadelphia who ran a clinic where he performed illegal late-term abortions, murdered babies born alive, and killed at least one woman during a botched abortion... That Kermit Gosnell.

He's America's biggest serial killer—claiming more victims than Gary Ridgeway, John Wayne Gacey, The Zodiac Killer and Ted Bundy...combined. Yet the mainstream media has hushed up any discussion of this case because of the politically incorrect fact that Gosnell was an abortionist.

We just read a great article in the Hollywood Reporter about a pair of rebel journalist filmmakers who wanted to break the silence of the Kermit Gosnell case and expose the horrors of abortion to the world and the appalling media cover up of the story. I know we can help this film become not only a reality, but also a success.

For the past 10 years filmmakers Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinny have made it their mission to bring to light stories the media ignores. Their latest project is no different. They are setting out to create film to expose Kermit Gosnell and show you what the media doesn't want you to see.

Ann and Phelim are taking to Indiegogo for what is the biggest "ask" in crowd funding history (for a movie). Previously, the biggest "ask" was $2 million dollars for a film called, Veronica Mars, a movie about a teenage detective. They are asking for $2.1 million dollars to surpass that record and it is up to us to help finance and support this film.

This is your chance to take a stand. So often we are forced with no other choice but to complain about the lack of coverage from the MSM on pro-life and conservative issues with no way to speak up and challenge the issue. Now, just a few clicks away you have that opportunity to DO SOMETHING. Major news outlets and Hollywood want to ignore what happened in Philadelphia and the realities of abortion, but you don't have to. We don't have to take it, we can make our own film. 

1. Share this project with your friends and family. Post the www.GosnellMovie.com link on your Facbook page, share on twitter, forward this email to your friends. This story will not stay silent any longer.

Our friends at Movie to Movement are spreading a culture of life, love and beauty. They believe this film will help to do exactly that. It is our mission to make sure films like this succeed so that we can change hearts and minds across the country.

For Life,
Keith Mason
