I thought we already learned a lesson from our irresponsible spending. So guys...whats so exciting about this stimulus package? Really...shed me some light here...

I am glad that I don't model my stewardship from the government. Wheww...  Anyways, this stimulus package better work because it can really feed starving children from the continent of Africa for a while.

45-50 millions babies have died since the Roe vs Wade case in 1973. The more I read up on abortion the more I can't help to pray for this  issue. I am saddened by the fact that I have neglected this issue most of my life. I did not realize that abortion is an issue of social justice.

The more I think about abortion the more I realized how similar it is to slavery. Christians supported slavery too and also found a creative way justify it.

I am pro-life. I am for the life of mothers and babies. I did not realize abortion has a such devastating effect on the mother mentally, emotionally and physically. It is really more than getting rid of an unborn baby.

This year 1.5 million unborn babies are going to die in America while this abortion industry makes obscene profit. It pains my heart to think.

Finally, I am reminded abortion is not my cause but the glory of God is. I am reminded that I am the greatest hindrance to this abortion issue. My sin has prevented me to love mercy and walk humbly with God. My sin blinds me so I would love myself more than anything else in the world. But God will not be frustrated by sins because He reigns and rules over all. Just like Joseph said to his brother in Genesis 50: "You meant it for evil and God meant it for good."

God has given me a voice to speak up and I will. Oh God help us...


Each penny represents each baby. [only 26 millions shown in the picture]
