What's on my mind this week?

Not the best pic of us, but I hadn't taken any pics this past week or so. ABORTION has been on my mind heavily this past week. It makes me sick to my stomach if I think about the process and I wish I had never watched a video on how it is done, especially in the later stages pregnancy. I get upset thinking about women who choose this path, doctors and nurses who more than willingy to assist in this. When did being in the medical field consist of killing - I thought it was to help and save lives? I guess with our intelligent President changing the stem cell laws this has been going through my head. I get so upset thinking that so many babies are being aborted simply because people chose to have unprotected sex, maybe outside of marriage, or even in a marriage and think that a baby will just ruin their lives or careers, well shame on you selfish people, what if your parents had aborted you? I know their is plent of other reasons why people abort and I want list them all. Who has time for that? But what gets me is that our nation has taken it upon itself to toss aside life, like it is a piece of trash, when you don't want it or din't plan on it, toss it out. I am a firm believer that at conception, life begins. How can anyone look at that first ultrasound and not say that is a living being! Furthermore, since when did it become okay to play "God" and determine when to take a life. Life was created by God, for God. Read Genisis. ABORTION is MURDER in my opinion!!! What does the Bible say about murder. Exodus 20:13 You Shall Not Murder Now tell me, is it hard to understand this verse? Has our country slipped so far away from the 10 commandments that we don't abide by them. Look around, we have. How heartbreaking to think babies are being murdered every day. Exodus 21:22 If men struggle with each other and strike a woman with child, so that she gives birth prematurely, yet there is no injury, he shall surely be fined as the woman's husband may demand of him, and he shall pay as the judges decide. verse 23 But if there is any further injury, then you shall apoint as a penalty life for life, Here again we are told the fetus is considered a person and someone should be held accountable for its death or injury. I cannot understand for the life of me how anyone can lay on that table and let some cold doctor do this to them, but on the other hand, I do know why and understand it is all Satan and normally people who are lost. I once heard abortion is like a sacrifice to the demons. Maybe so, but at least that little one goes home to be with Jesus and will not have to suffer anymore in this world. A few weeks ago I read how Ashley Judd was speaking out against Sarah Palin allowing wolves to be shot from helicopters. Then, I found out that Ms. Judd had spoken before some gov't committee or something along that line FOR ABORTION. She is all for it!! Well, needless to say, my opinion of her and liking of her as an actress has changed. Then this week my mom had to put her cat down, she was 14, and was having problems. The vet sent a sympathy card, she could have chosen to have her cremated and kept the ashes, or even taken her home and bury her, or take her to a pet cemetary, etc. Well, all of it for a price anyway. I am an animal lover and have been all my life. The only time I have been without a pet was in college when I lived in the dorm. The cat my mom put down was a stray I picked up and she still has the other cat that I picked up yrs ago. Lucky, cat we have, is also a stray I picked up 10 yrs ago. So, another issue on my mind this week goes right with abortion. Has anyone noticed how so many people are more willing to stick out their necks and speak out against the killing of animals. Again, I am totally against animal cruelty and cannot watch tv shows or stories on this. But, the past couple yrs I have had a wake-up call in this area. It seems that we hear more and more "Save the Whale" "Save the dolphin" or any animal. Why are we not fighting for these babies lives that are being slaughtered like animals????? "Save the Babies" should be our chant instead of "Save the Dog" Have you noticed how poeple treat their pets better than some kids are getting treated. They eat, dress, and have beeter homes than alot of kids. We spend billions every yr on our pets, but don't think to spend on orphaned or third world children. I saw a show one time about dog hotels and how the dogs are treated like royalty. And the real topper - how much people pay for this, it wa like $500 a night in NYC. What?? Are you serious? Come on people wake up!! Our society treats animals like equals - What does the Bible say about animals? Read Genisis 1:26-28 Let me parahrase here : God gave man rule over fish, birds, cattle, and every animal. The crowning point of creation, a human being, was made in God's image to rule creation. The command to rule separated him from the rest of creation and defined his relationship as above the rest of creation. Did you get that - we rule over the animal kingdom, we are not equals with them. We are more valuable than an animal. Well, we are suppose to be anyway, but you wouldn't know that in our society. When I see celebrity's speak out for abortion and then to save an animal, I so want to inform them they have it backwards. Well, we know all this stems from sin that entered mankind through Adam, but praise God we have eternal life through Jesus, one day all this will be made right.
