Let’s just think…..

 

 

Setting aside any and all ideology, long held beliefs, preconceived notions.  Please, just think for a moment and ponder this week the possibilities of this picture.

What is going on in this little girl’s mind?   What is she thinking about as she presses her ear to her mommy’s growing belly?  It’s like she is giving a gentle hug to her sibling so safely protected in their mommy’s womb only millimeters of skin, flesh and tissue separate them from being able to touch skin-to-skin.  Such joy and anticipation!

The unknown world ahead.  The hopes and dreams for a future of possibilities, fear, apprehension can also be a part of this scene.  In God, we have a future and a hope!  We have a future and a hope!  With God, all things are POSSIBLE!  

Every human life starts with the framework of being designed, created and born in the image of God (Genesis 1:26-27).  When we continue on the path of possibilities with God we abide and remain in his presence, uncorrupted by the world, like the innocence of a child in the womb.  Created for love and good works.  

How can the world say that precious life has no value to be protected, loved and nurtured.  Why are we not teaching our young women and men to love and believe the best?  We can create with God what we want to see in the earth, for love and good works.   Every human being is created to BE a POSSIBILITARIAN!  It’s in our true nature, it really is!

As we approach this coming week and reflect on where our world and it’s ideas, let’s think on, promote and do all we can to BE the Change God Wants To See in the World and Become that [...]

Op-ed piece from December 2009 – Very Relevant for now

The rhetoric and contradictions on the subject of abortion and healthcare reform are becoming deafening to the point I believe many are simply tuning it out all together.   Mine is not to question the stories and experiences of women like Susan Silodor opined in the November 27th edition about women’s rights for reproductive choice “teetering on the brink”.  My heart aches for the countless experiences of those who have experienced the trauma of abortion as I have walked this profound life-changing path myself.  Sadly there is a kind of sisterhood, a club that we would surely not have otherwise “chosen” to join.   As I have walked out this journey for the last 29 years since my abortion at the age of 18 I am saddened by the divisiveness, confusion and downright abuse in some cases we have inflicted on each other as we try to come to terms with the facts.  As I take in the plethora of opinions with regards to abortion being included in “healthcare reform”, I want to scream!   It’s as if the powers that be are so bent in one direction.  I see a runaway locomotive headed for a train wreck of mass destruction and it needs to be stopped.   It would be so nice if abortion were as simple as some would like us all to believe.  For the last eight years, beginning with a profound healing journey, I have been researching the multi-faceted impact abortion has had on our world.  What I have discovered has brought me to question the true motives of those who strongly support abortion without limits under the banner of “protecting women’s reproductive rights”.   What about a woman’s right to know the whole truth, [...]
