UPDATE: Abortionist James Pendergraft

Prayer request!  Pray for the eventual shutdown of all FIVE abortion mills of James Pendergraft's!   Yesterday, there was a seizure of Pendergraft's assets at his flagship mill in Orlando.  John Barros, 24/7 sidewalk counselor (I call him 24/7 because that would be his mentality whether he is in front of an abortion mill or not!) :D  was present to witness the seizure of the contents of the mill.  The sheriff even allowed John to help him affix crime tape to the scene. That is awesome!  

Pendergraft was there and watched the process, calling it "illegal".  He had not paid the $36+ million judgment to the woman who had a botched abortion in 2004.  The woman's baby survived but had many health issues that would take lifelong care which she could not afford.  This could have been solved with adoption in the first place but this abortion took place and God used it for His purpose.   Pendergraft, not surprisingly, as an abortionist, does not care about laws or anything but the "Almighty dollar" and his greed has caught up with him.  The state of Florida keeps him in business (but so does the church, amen?) given that he has had 5 licenses stripped and his criminal activity never receives nothing but a light tap on the wrist. 

Pro-lifers found out that Pendergraft's people were telling clients that the mill was shut down for maintenance.  Several moms showed up for appointments and the pro-life group was able to intercept them.  They ministered to them, sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ and directed them to pregnancy resource centers nearby.   One woman showed up who was NINE months pregnant.  They were able to talk to her and help her with real solutions.  She decided to go to the crisis pregnancy center instead of killing her baby.   I was once told that late-term abortions were very rare (by a pro-abort).  John Barros can tell you that from his own experience at these mills that it's anything but rare!  He has seen many women walking around the parking lot there with very big pregnant bellies.  They are made to walk around to hasten the abortion process. 

By the way, what IS rare?  One late-term abortion every 50 years?  Ten years?   Any abortion is one abortion too many no matter the gestation.  So if you have 30+ of these every day.....I really do not call that rare. One Jew or one black slave exterminated murdered still makes it wrong. 

Recently, pro-abortion Nancy Pelosi was asked about the Fetal Pain legislation.  The clip is above. 

From a Lifesite News article: Pelosi says late-term abortion "sacred ground"
  "The reporter continued to push Pelosi, asking her what the difference was between a 26 week abortion, and killing the baby after birth.
Pelosi responded that "this is not the issue" and suggested that the proposed bill would say that "there's no abortion in our country."
When the reporter tried once again to get Pelosi to answer the question, she shot back, "I'm not going to have this conversation with you, because you obviously have an agenda. You're not interested in having an answer."
That was when she also made the remark about the issue being "sacred ground."
The Weekly Standard reporter complained: "It was a simple question. You didn't answer."

She has no answer because like the pro-abort people who I know as my loved ones as well.....they know deep down that there is no defending killing babies.   They canot do it so they avoid the issue altogether.  There is no difference between the baby at 26 weeks and the baby at 2 weeks' gestation.  Rather than face the issue, it's better to call the pro-lifer a lot of names and write her off as "judgmental" and a "right-wing religious nut" and have little contact  with her as possible.  By the way, I wear the badge with honor!! If I am judged by judgmental people to be judgmental because I have convictions that all humans were created by God in His image and therefore have the God-given freedom to possess life, so be it.  I do not identify with the slave proponents who said that the person who had darker skin was "property".  I do not relate to the Nazi who saw the Jew as a "useless eater" or a "weed". 

I once had a hardened heart, a stiff-neck, scaled eyes, and a very yellow spine.  Jesus dealt with me!  While I AM a work-in-progress, He has cleansed me of my sins!  We can only pray for the Holy Spirit to grab hold of those who are like Pendergraft and Pelosi (and those who say it's okay to kill a baby OUTSIDE of the womb as well). 

Numbers of surgical and pill mills and abortionists 

I am not giving up hope as long as there is breath in their bodies! 

What is Human?

You Now Have a DAUGHTER!

Twenty-five years ago today, we were blessed by God with a daughter!  Our sweet baby girl, Lauren, has been a lot of fun and it has been a joy to watch her grow up and mature.  She has kept us on our toes in a different way than her older brother but we have been (and are) deeply grateful for all the experiences we have had as her parents.  Memories are pouring forth today of the hours before she came into the world.  She kept us guessing whether she would actually show up at all. But by the end of the day, she quickly rushed into the world, barely giving  the midwife enough time to don her gloves!

Most parents think their children are smart, talented and good-looking.  I am no different from those parents.  My earnest prayer is not for more smarts, more talents and more looks to be heaped on but for her to grow in the Lord and know Him more and more.  That is my prayer for both my son and daughter.  It has taken me so very long to come to this level of maturity and I still have so very long  a way to go even still.  There are no shortcuts but I sure don't want them to be as thickheaded and stubborn as I have been in this walk in the Lord!

These children are not our own. They are God's and He gifted us with them to teach them His Word and to foster that love for Him and to personally know Him.  We didn't know this at the beginning of our parenting years, but we are thankful He has been patient with us and has given us many opportunities to restore those years in the wilderness.  Oh, how we wandered!  God is so good.  He is the Great Economist as He doesn't waste anything.  He uses everything in our lives for His purpose.  So we look forward to how God is going to work in the lives of our children.  Thank You, God, for the blessings of our children but most of all, thank You, Lord for Your Son, Jesus Christ, His sacrifice for us....the greatest gift of all.

Will You Stand Up for ME?

I can't tell you how many people who are pro-abortion post anti-bullying photos, memes and comments on different social media networks. 

Falling Plates

We showed this the youth in church recently and then discussed the finer points afterwards.  I will probably share this with my clients at the cpc as well. 

Karpen Diem!

The guys had all been in prison together for a long time and a new inmate arrived.

When it was night and lights out, someone said, "16" and everyone cracked up. Someone else said "23" and people cracked up again. Someone else said "45" and everyone was rolling.

The new guy asked his cellmate what was going on and was told that they'd all been together so long, and knew all the jokes that instead of reciting the whole joke they'd numbered them.

Then someone yelled out "29" and nothing happened, no response. Again, "29" and no reaction. So the new guy asked his cellmate what was up and he said, "Well, you know, some people just can't tell a joke."
********************************************************************************
It has been awhile since I last posted and  my reasons could be numbered much like the jokes mentioned above.  So I'll just tell you that #15, #8,  #32 and #55 apply for the past few weeks' absence and we'll leave it at that!

Many of you followed the Gosnell trial and witnessed the day the verdict was handed down to him. 

He has been sentenced to 3 life terms and will face other penalties for the illegal prescription charges as well.  His wife was sentenced to 7 to 32 months of prison time but I recently read that she could be out as early as four months.  Others who were charged will see lesser sentences for racketeering and performing the abortions done past the state's gestational limits.  

On the simplistic side, Gosnell will never be allowed to perform an abortion ever again.  Women and babies will be safe from Gosnell's practice.  Not safe from other Philadelphia abortionists but Gosnell's abortion practice is gone.  I am not sure what the status of his business is or of any of Gosnell's assets, but maybe his millionaire title is obliterated as well.  Gosnell and his family won't be living large any more.

As for justice served.....many babies who had their spinal cords snipped did not get their day in court.  Babies who were killed  in the "traditional" abortion methods did not get their day in court.  Gosnell's thousands of  victims (including another woman who died at his hands) are unnamed, buried  and lost forever much like Hitler's, Lenin's, and Pol Pot's victims.   I envision a mass grave and Gosnell's address of 3801 Lancaster as that mass grave.  I pray for that piece of property to be bulldozed and reclaimed by Christians.  There have been some abortion mills  that have been purchased and turned into memorials or even pro-life services.  One shuttered abortion mill was bought by a pro-life neighbor.  It is now legally protected from letting any other abortion facilities rent at that property ever again. 

We need to be praying about many things.  We need to be praying that many hearts and minds were changed and pray for continued changing.  We need to pray for people to be in the right place and time to talk to those who are questioning abortion for the first time.  May these dialogues lead to people being saved!  My own conversion was what I characterize "through the back door".  It was a long journey with many people watering the seeds.  God used my husband to accelerate that final push by using the news issues of the day.  I won't go into the particulars here but in a sense, my stance on abortion changed which led me to search out God and realize I wasn't saved. 

We need to pray salvation for those abortionists and abortion workers.  I have touched on this before.  On the surface, it seems highly unlikely that Gosnell would ever be saved but it's the supernatural that I recognize that he is still reachable. He still doesn't think he really did anything wrong.  Many of his workers have expressed some sorrow and regret....they need the Good News!!!

We need to be praying for this news of Gosnell's ghoulish events to be further transmitted nationally and globally.  Even now, there are other Gosnellian (yes, it's my new word) situations going on in other parts of the country.  People are asking if Gosnell is the only one or is he an outlier?  Bill O' Reilly said on his show one night that he believed that Gosnell was an extreme aberration.  Why didn't I jump out of my seat and email him then and there?  This is a common practice in the abortion industry!!!  Many babies are born alive and then killed afterwards.  We need to be praying that that this information gets spread far and wide despite the mainstream media's continued silence on abortionists like Douglas Karpen Texas Gosnell, Shelly Sella, LeRoy Carhart, and many others.  It's almost as if the media says, "Well, we'll begrudgingly give you some attention to Gosnell and act all horrified about the late-term stuff, but we sure as heck aren't going to report on the horrors of abortion itself or any other abortionists doing what Gosnell did."   

Since the Gosnell case,  4 nurses have come forward to witness equally heinous acts at Karpen's facility in Houston, Texas.  One nurse remains anonymous but the other three have bravely stepped forward to whistleblow.  Whatever their motivation, the news is out.  Two other nurses from the Planned Parenthood of Wilmington, Delaware have also come forward with their reports of unsanitary and dangerous practicses.  Maryland has suspended the licenses of two abortionists where a woman died. Strangely, they have not suspended Carhart's license over Jennifer Morbelli's death.  Can we ever really guess why certain abortionists have protection to continue their jobs as paid assassins?   It boggles me.  Many other cases are surfacing and I bring this all up here to make the point that it seems God is allowing for a whole lot of evil to be revealed.  What does this mean?  These abortionists are getting sloppy and they are having a hard time keeping their evils out of public spectrum. They are self-destructing.  There are more people aware of their practices and willing to report them.  The abortionists' methods aren't working anymore.  So what do we do with this information? 

Okay, so let's run with it.  God seems to be opening these doors for us to use whatever means necessary.  There's Facebook, Google +, Twitter, word-of-mouth, bumper stickers, publications, fliers, shirts, rallies, initiatives, email to congressmen, and myriad ways to get this out even without the lamestream press.  They can ignore us but the information is going to get out anyway.   I made my own homemade bumper sticker with the www.TexasGosnell.com website on it (sadly we could make a website with all 50 states with some Gosnells in each one).  I live in a big city and park at many places.   Anyone who has a modicum of curiosity to look up Texas Gosnell will find themselves facing that story..  I have had people ask me about it, by the way.  It IS homemade but that's what kind of grabs the attention.  I made a bumper sticker with #Gosnell a while back.  I will have no idea how many people looked that up.   It could be 1 or could be 50 or it could be 0.  It was still worth it to me to make the bumper sticker even it it is just one person who actually learns about it.  It doesn't take too much to make a bumper sticker and slap it on the back of a car.  I also bought 100 of the Human Life Alliance publications called "The Truth About Planned Parenthood".  I  am passing them out to youths, congregation members, church leadership, police, moms and dads, and sometimes I get to share them with total strangers (believe me when I say God DOES give me opportunities to do this....it is SO cool!). 

Would you believe that I am actually quite shy?




 John 3:18-21
“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.  But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”
