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

Side Effect: Death

"Not Breathing At All"


This link from Operation Rescue reports that a 22 year-old woman died at an abortion facility in Ohio.  Hopefully, more facts of the story will follow in the future.  This all took place just days ago on March 21st.  Of course, I start to think about the whole scenario and about the aftermath with her loved ones.  Did her family know?  Did anyone pressure her or even try to talk her out of it?  Was she told it was "safe" and would be "no big deal"?  Was she told "it is not a baby, only a blob of cells"? 

 The sad fact is this young woman believed several lies to find herself on that abortion table.  She believed the lie of Satan that abortion was the solution to the problem in her mind.  She believed the lie that her baby did not have intrinsic value in God's eyes.  She believed the lie that she herself did not have value in God's eyes. She believed the lie that God would not provide for her and her baby.  There were probably many other lies she believed to get her in that abortion facility. 

We do not know how God will use this but He will (Genesis 50:20). Not only is God the Great Physician, He is the Great Economist.  He uses everything, no small detail escapes His notice or use.  Pray for her loved ones, pray for those inside that abortion facility and pray for this to receive wide attention to benefit others. 

Kermit Gosnell was not alone in his exploits.  There are many others out there and just because we have a media that is sympathetic to abortionists does not mean there cannot be any coverage.  This young victim's community needs to know what happened.  Enter in "Do-It-Yourself" Journalism.  "Tweetfest" and "Journalism" are now together like Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.  We, "the little people", need to blog, Facebook, Tweet and whatever else is at our disposal to sound the alarm.

I am not a tech-savvy person (that is quite obvious if you have been following this blog at all).  Regardless, with whatever sad and pathetic skills I do possess, I will let people know about the life-threatening injuries, the deaths and the situations that result via the abortion industry. 

There are many methods of stopping abortion.  God will call us to those different areas and in different ways according to how He wired us.  James 4:17 "Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin."  Are we called to be watchmen on the walls?  Are we to stand in the gap?  In addition to obeying the command to spread the Great Commission,  I am called to spread God's truths and to warn about Satan's lies.  I am only to be obedient and to leave the results to God.

In what ways is God calling you?

Another One Bites the Dust??

Prayer can close an abortion facility.  We do not know the timing or the ways but it can be done.  Obviously and ideally, we want all of them shut down permanently at the same time.  That will be done when this earth is no more.  In the meantime, we are living in a fallen and dark world with a bunch of sinners. 

Abortionists, as I have mentioned before, usually get away with their dark practices.  It IS frustrating when the news gets out about an abortion facility that so many people knew what was going on but just looked the other way.  In Gosnell's case, many different departments did know that there were despicable things going on but they just only pointed fingers.   If you visit the website www.realchoice.blogspot.com website (link at the bottom of my blog website), you can read about abortionists were convicted and went to trial but were allowed to continue their practices.  It was not that they were not guilty, the pro-abortion judges just overturned the sentence or they just slapped lightly on the wrist with a small fine.

I try not to be a cynic when I see reports like these.  The police raided the abortionist's place of operation.  Evidence seized, observations recorded.  Complaints filed.  Yes, I am glad it happens but then what?  Will it go to trial?  Will he receive another light fine?  Will he be sent to jail?  I do not think it is very likely.  I am actually shocked that Gosnell got life in prison.  After all, the abortionist Rapin Osanthanondh got a 2 year month prison sentence for killing Laura Hope Smith.  He got a plea bargain deal that dropped it to 6 months and he got early release in 3 months.  After, that he was wearing a bracelet in his 2 million-dollar home.  See what I mean?  Osanthanondh Guilty
We have had over 40 years of lawlessness.  We see the same patterns of letting abortionists kill and maim with zero or little accountability. 

No one is going to prison for killing Tonya Reaves after leaving her to hemorrhage for over 5 hours!  They are still in operation.  The fact that these places stay open to maim and murder just speaks volumes about the pro-abortion crowd's claims that they "care" for women.  It is the pro-life crowd that actively shows up, exposes the evil, and files complaints with the authorities.  Again, we will see what happens. 

 Klopfer's Clinic Raided By Police

• Boxes of paper were found stored near a furnace, some papers within 1 inch of a heat source.
• Remains from an aborted baby stored in the same refrigerator as medications.
• Oxygen tanks and other emergency equipment lacking proper maintenance or just not working.
• Infection control lapses.
• Employees laundering soiled linens at home.
• A nitrous oxide tank discovered in 2010 with an expiration date of Dec. 3, 1989.
• General clutter and untidiness at his clinics that were “too numerous to list.”

In search of information, I came across this report from 1928.  Abortionist to face death penalty.
You can read the result of that case.  Gosnell faced the death penalty initially but he and his lawyers sprung into action to prevent that.  Gosnell certainly valued his own life! 

I want evil to be exposed and stopped.  I want the justice system to work and to see justice be done.     It is puzzling that the people who are pro-abortion and claim that they "care" about women do not want abortionists exposed and stopped as well. Every time I post an article such as this on my Facebook page, the pro-aborts are totally silent. For the people I know who have claimed that they care about women, I keep waiting for a response, a question, or even a repost.  Will they ever act?

We are in that fallen and dark world so therefore, it is to be expected that there is injustice, unfairness and lawlessness.  Regardless, I will continue to trust in the Lord and remember His ways, thoughts and timing. I am very grateful to those pro-life warriors who dedicate their lives to save the babies, mommies and daddies.  They even reach out to the abortionists and their workers.  Jesus does save! 

Deuteronomy 32:3-5

3 For I proclaim the name of the Lord:
Ascribe greatness to our God.
4 He is the Rock, His work is perfect;
For all His ways are justice,
A God of truth and without injustice;
Righteous and upright is He.
5 “They have corrupted themselves;
They are not His children,
Because of their blemish:
A perverse and crooked generation.

Cleaning the Causeway

Here's the Texas Prairie Dog popping up out of the tunnel.  I have been traveling and about all kinds of business here and there. The wind has been rather blustery recently and causing all kinds of stuff to blow around.  All this affects my sinuses so basically I had no concentration yesterday to blog.

I will catch a news report here and there about pro-life issues and I have such an eagerness to post it here on the blog.  Usually this happens when I realize that I need to be out the door in about 30 minutes or dinner needs to be cooked, etc.  By the time I really get the block of time I want to spend for what qualifies in MY mind as "quality writing", I am pretty much done-in....shattered.....kablooey?  What's kablooey?   That's the sound of my brain imploding at the end of the night.  I am a great procrastinator on top of all of this.

Then there are those days that I just contemplate that maybe there isn't really any reason to blog any reports.  All the websites that report these things are at everybody's fingertips already.  The information in this huge world is at everyone's disposal by only a click away.  This is a redundant website.  Then add the fact that I am not a very organized person.  That is an understatement.  I am a very disorganized person but always fighting those disorganzed tendencies.

Yet, I am back here now...with a headache, a list of things to do, a pile of papers next to this computer and a load of subjects that could be blogged.  Well, I am sort of here....for a little while.  I have a board meeting tonight in a faraway land (Yes, I hear you locals chuckling at that). 

What is on my mind?  Loving the unlovable.  I am almost finished with a book called Chasing the Dragon.  I found it on a table at a conference this past weekend.  I had always wanted to read abut Jackie Pullinger but never followed up on it.  Jackie's story is about a British woman who goes to Hong Kong in the 1960's and reaches out to the Triad gangs, opium and heroin addicts and the prostitutes in the Walled City.  God used her to reach hundreds of very lost souls in the worst conditions imaginable.

I am not going into any detail about this right now.  Call it processing, mulling or pondering but I am still in a mode of examination at this point.  I know I don't love as Jesus does.  Since I was saved,  I love more than I used to do and yet, realistically, at times, I love less than I used to in many other ways.  If that sounds confusing, I am blaming it on my headache!!!

At the end of the day though, I do know this:
But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8

That pretty much covers Jackie's story in a nutshell.  Put me in that group of sinners just as spiritually destitute as those addicts and gang members.  I am cleansed and healed by His stripes but also still very much a work-in-progress.

Well, that is it for now.  I have a lot of stuff percolating in this aching brain but I really need to go pray.  Pray for my headache, pray for my wicked heart, and pray for a lot of people and situations.
