Truth

"I've noticed that everyone who is for abortion has already been born."-Ronald Reagan
This statement is so bold and so true. I could have easily been aborted. My mom got pregnant with me at 17 years old. That was definitely a possibility. I think that there's more of a chance for a teenager to have an abortion than an adult. When you aren't married and have no job and aren't emotionally stable and aren't an adult yet, I get that it's scary. But I also think that you have no right to decide if another human being gets to have life or not. If you think that you are mature enough to have sex, then you also think that you are mature enough to be a parent, because that's what sex is meant for, to create life. It's also meant for married people, not teenagers, just saying. If you don't want to keep that baby, then give it up for adoption. Some people say that they don't want to put their bodies through pregnancy and whatever other excuse you can find. If you are willing to put your body through sex, again, you know full well that pregnancy is a possibility. There are people out there, married, so in love, so good with kids and who have the desire for children who aren't able to conceive a child. That makes me so sad. Especially because young people are just in it for the pleasure, not thinking about the after math.
Abortion is murder. It is killing a human being. End of story. I think that a "morning after pill" is different. Why? Because the baby has not yet been conceived. It's different killing a baby (abortion) and destroying the possibility of there ever being a baby. It's time to wake up at realize what we are doing, to take responsibility for our actions.

People often say that there's no "proof" of God. He's not a "proven fact". That makes me sick. Have you ever noticed that a large percent of science is based on theory? Not fact, theory. Yet people are still trying to tell me that God does not exist. There's no proof so they simply can't believe in him. You want proof? Here's your proof:
At a youth retreat, the youth pastor had a vision while praying. He went to the front and said he saw that there was someone here who had a condition where one of their legs were longer than the other. He asked them to raise their hand. Two girls, sisters, raised their hands. They came up to the front and sat down, putting their legs in front of them so that he could see the difference, and he did. He asked the guest speaker and his girlfriend to come to the front and pray over them with him. It was a very powerful time. They prayed over these girls and they just started crying. There was no more pain from this condition. They could feel their legs grow. They are healed by the grace of God! If that's not proof enough, how about this:
I was at Mission Point with the WBC LDP group. We went on our cross walk. Basically, we heard the crucifixion story from a different point of view, we wrote something on a piece of paper that we wanted to give to God and nailed it to the cross, and we went outside and carried the cross around the island. This is just the short of what happened, it was so much more powerful than I can ever explain. We had been outside for just a couple minutes. It started thundering and lightning and raining. I looked around me, at the water, the trees, the grass, the sky, it was all so beautiful. I was praying, and every time I would finish a thought, it would thunder. So I said, "Okay God, if you're really hearing me, if you're really there, make it thunder, right now." And it thundered the biggest clap of thunder yet. Right then. Do you still need more? How about this:
Look around you. In Winter, look at the snow falling from the sky, resting on the ground. In summer, look at the grass, the water, the trees, the animals, the rain, the thunder, the sky. In spring, look at the flowers growing, the birds coming back, the atmosphere changing. In Fall, look at the leaves, changing colours, feel the crisp air. In every season we see God. When you look at that, how can you not believe in God? I just don't understand it. After looking at the nature, at how beautiful God made everything, there's no way that I could ever say that he does not exist. No way. Look at a new born baby, taking it's first breath, first sound, first smile, first laugh, first word, first steps, when you see that baby for the first time, how could you not thank God for that precious little human being? I don't understand. Look at all the miracles that are performed and how everything always seems to work out in the end and some of the things that people are capable of doing, how could you not believe in this almighty God??? Please explain this to me, because I just don't get it.
Okay, so this whole big 2012 scare is getting really old. Movies, songs, superstitions. When will it end?? (This could be taken as a pun, but it's not meant to be, just so you know...)  First of all, people don't get to decide when the world will end. Maybe it will end in 2012, who knows. But we can't say when it will. No one knows. Only God knows, so can we please give it a rest? Unless it's God's will, we're not gonna die in 2012, so please stop talking about it. It's getting very annoying.
God bless,
