Will You Choose Life or Money?

This election is, for me, one that has to do with one very basic issue. Which is more important, the fact that babies should be entitled to a Constitutionally protected right to life or the fact that one candidate is promising to fix my finances? That is the only choice that I see when I look at this election. Barack Obama has voted several times to take away the basic human right of life from babies that survive partial-birth abortions. How much more viable must a life be than to have survived attempted murder while fresh out of the womb? Yet Senator Obama thinks that these poor children need to die simply because someone paid to have that happen. Isn't that murder for hire? What does the Liberal Left have against babies? The answer is simple. They are pandering to one of their largest constituencies, selfish women who want to pursue their lives however they choose without living up to the responsibilities of being a wife or mother. For these people it is much easier to simply have a child killed so they can get back to their previous lives, which apparently include having unprotected sex whenever and with whomever they please. How can people even begin to think that abortion should be allowed? Check out this YouTube video from Dr. Bernard Nathanson, one of the founders of NARAL.



If this man, who helped set up abortion as a legal practice, by intentionally misleading the courts and our legislators can admit that abortion is an evil practice and must be stopped, why can't these other knuckleheads get it? But here is Obama in his own words stating that he does not want any limits on abortion!




Wake up people! Even Ted Kennedy, Barbara Boxer and Hillary Clinton upheld the Born Alive Act! Yet Obama will continue to support this barbaric practice! It seems that he wants to be Pharaoh! The nurse in this last video says the babies were issued both birth and death certificates. How can anyone be getting away with allowing or causing the death of a baby with a certificate of live birth? If they have been born and that fact has been recognized by the state with a birth certificate, then causing their deaths would be murder and allowing their deaths would be gross negligence, malpractice, child endangering and manslaughter.

Yet there are many people who are about to vote for this man simply because the economy is messed up and they have been personally inconvenienced by this fact. Go on! Vote for your wallet and let the babies die! Sacrifice them for the sake of your lifestyles! You will be just as guilty of their blood as the doctors who are killing them and the politicians who are selling their deaths to garner votes.

It's just that simple a choice, people! You either vote for what is right, which is the defense of living babies, worthy of a birth certificate, or you vote for your wallet which is as dead as a beaver hat. I don't care if you don't believe in God. He believes in you and He is waiting to see which way you will choose!

Stranger in a strange land (with apologies to Heinlein)

I find myself in a very strange place just now. First, let me give you some background on my situation. Through a combination of forces including my sometimes overly forceful personality, poor choices and bad breaks, I find myself almost completely destitute. Yet I am very hopeful and I have a great deal of faith that things are about to turn around. So now I wonder, do I have any right to be optimistic or do I just not see the financial shark rapidly closing in from below me?

Little things mean so much in circumstances like ours. For instance, I recently started attending again at the church where I was an associate pastor in 2000 - 2002. Last Sunday, they asked for prayer requests and I put mine in for increased sales since we are almost broke. This week I did not get any sales commissions. However, I got a mentor from SCORE who was in the insurance business for over 30 years and he advised me to get a part-time job until I can build my clientele.

The very next day I called my boss at the guard company where I had been working until September 30 when we lost that contract. He had told me to check back with him for a letter of reference. He told me he was on his way back to the office from signing the contract on a new job that paid $11 per hour instead of the $8.25 I had been making before. He asked if I was interested and told me he still had not done my separation paperwork after the other contract. I asked him when he would be in the office so I could pick up some new shirts. So now I have an even easier part-time job, with more hours (36 instead of 32) and better pay.

On the insurance front, my boss has teamed us up with some ladies who are cold calling to get appointments for us. This removes one of the major headaches of insurance sales and allows me to have something resembling a life. My caller is getting more and more confident and setting more and better appointments for me. I went on one of those appointments on Wednesday with my boss and she is very confident that we are going to close that sale on Monday. I also went to drop-off some info at a local union hall and was invited to call again after the election to write some health business on the secretary of the head man there.

Then there is the money issue. God just keeps working it out somehow. For instance, I was distraught because I did not know where I was going to get the money to pay our phone bills. We have two. Our landline includes the internet service I must have for business and my wife and middle son must have for college. The other bill is our cellular phone service which is vital to my business and our communication and coordination as a family. The landline is about $70 each month and the cellular is a bit over $100. I double checked my checking account and found that I had about $180. I also found that, due to a credit we had from a previous service change, the cellular bill was only a little over $30.

So God worked it out for me to pay the phone bills and have a little left over! Praise God! Jehovah jireh, our Lord provider has come through again! I am becoming increasingly confident that everything is going to be okay. Maybe I'm naive, but I know one thing. I serve a great God and He is able and willing to take care of me if I will only ask.

Three Political Limericks

Obama says he is for rights
But he also would turn out the lights
On babies who live, past the prerogative
Of the women who spawned the wee mites

Obama just never salutes
Old Glory while the honor guard shoots
Their twenty-one guns, over daughters and sons
Who weighed their last measures in boots

Wall Street has led us to fear
The end of our country is near
While they all parachute, holding all of our loot
Not a one will shed even a tear
