I just came across a short documentary today about the Gosnell abortion clinic in Philadelphia. It was put together by a group called 3801 Lancaster who is following the case. It's only twenty minutes, so if you have the time I would encourage you to watch and draw your own conclusions. It's an incredible exampleContinue reading "3801 Lancaster"
wisdom in unlikely places
I got my wisdom teeth out last Friday. All four of them. Normally, I take pride in the fact that I have a high tolerance for pain and that I can handle things like minor surgeries with no problem. I'm tough. And I can handle it. Well apparently last week I got shot with aContinue reading "wisdom in unlikely places"
15 thoughts at once
I have a hard time slowing my mind down at the end of each day. Once I get home from work, I am usually thinking about probably 15 different things at one time - and usually at the top of that list are the things that I DIDN'T do that day. I should probably doContinue reading "15 thoughts at once"
don’t get married if
For anyone who wants to get married someday - Do not get married if: 1. You like for dirty clothes to be IN the hamper instead of on the floor BESIDE the hamper. 2. You don't like it when glasses get left on the coffee table, kitchen table, kitchen counter, bedside table.... 3. You don'tContinue reading "don’t get married if"
What do you think?
Female Gendercide: "The targeting of females for extermination through infanticide, and most often, the aborting of pre-born girls, just because they are girls." Gendercide is an issue that, for many, immediately summons thoughts of China, India, and other foreign countries that have or have had such practices. In many countries girls are less desirable thanContinue reading "What do you think?"
an informed decision
With the next presidential election coming up this November, there has been no shortage of political and social issues floating around on the news and other media. Everyone has an opinion about everything from same-sex marriage laws to protecting endangered Arctic puffins. (Ok, I actually have no idea if they're endangered or not - butContinue reading "an informed decision"
my world just became bigger
I made the mistake of spending the last month or so reading the book Radical. I then made the even worse mistake of taking David Platt's advice and checking out a resource called Operation World. There's no denying it now - The world doesn't revolve around me. My life is not my own. And thereContinue reading "my world just became bigger"
would you look at that? :: 2011
I know a lot of people who have been "reverbing" 2011 in their blogs - basically reflecting on the past year and thinking about ways that they've grown, struggled, learned, and experienced life in a way that has affected or changed them. I'm really bad at reading blogs, but I'm pretty good at scanning/speed-reading themContinue reading "would you look at that? :: 2011"
truths
I am three papers and one final exam away from graduation. I've spent the last couple of hours working on these papers and now have a pretty legitimate headache which may be partially induced by the aforementioned paper writing, but also probably has something to do with the ridiculous amounts of sweet tea I've beenContinue reading "truths"
with most of my heart
I was challenged recently with a few verses that I've had committed to memory for years and years. Do you ever have those moments? When God shows you truth through a piece of His Word that you've read thousands of times, that you've recited again and again until the meaning is lost on you? PrideContinue reading "with most of my heart"
