Jonathan Wallis was born on April 4 1975.  His father was a steelworker and his mother was a waitress.  He didn’t have much when he was a child because his parents split up early in his life.  But he was a good boy and when his mother had to work at two jobs he had a lot of time alone.  He loved to read and stayed out of serious trouble and after a rough start, did very well in school.  He put himself through college and graduated with two doctorates.  At the age of thirty one in 2006 he developed a laser treatment that removed tumors in the brain without invasive surgery.

Susie Johnston was also born in 1975.  Her parents were in college when she was born and the strain on their relationship was tremendous but, they worked through it and were able to raise Susie in a good, loving, giving environment.  She became a nurse and in 2003 moved to South America to open an orphanage and medical clinic.

Josh Burroughs was born in August 1975.  He was placed in a state home immediately because his mother was in a rehab program and didn’t want him.  He was moved around for a few years and was abused.  But the Burroughs, Bill and Gloria, adopted him at 10 years of age.  With a lot of love and affirmation they motivated him to also finish college and move into research.  Just this year he announced, along with his team, that they had developed a cure for AIDS.

By this time you might be saying to yourself, “Wait a minute.  I haven’t heard of any of this.”  And you would be right.  None of the above happened.  I made it all up.  I was just wondering, what might have been. 

These three fictitious people, born thirty three years ago, might have been real.  They might just be three of the over one million casualties of war that happened in the worst battleground that existed in 1975.  That battleground was the womb of a woman that was told it was her right to kill an innocent.  An unwanted and unplanned child could be slaughtered in the womb and discarded as trash by any woman for any reason.  What an age of compassion and enlightenment we live in. 

Legislation was passed as the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA), and signed into law in 1970.  This established the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the Council on Environmental Quality

In 1972, the United Nations held the first Human Environment conference which led to the development of special government agencies like the UN Environment Program to help regulate and set environmental standards.  This was so we could make sure and protect this earth we live on. 

In 1973 came the Endangered Species Act.  Peter Singer was also working on his book, Animal Liberation, which was published in 1975.  His main thesis is that if women can have rights, then animals should too. 

Our enemy also won a major victory in 1973.  Around the same time so many came to the defense of the planet and the animals that live on it, a few men sold out to the enemy and overturned many state laws that had protected the innocent child. 

And look at how far we have come.  We have a multitude of laws protecting the environment and animals.  We have groups out to convince us of global warming and animal species extinction.  We can go to jail for inhumane treatment of an animal.  We can’t even, by law, put a dog out of its misery in old age but instead, must let a veterinarian do it, in case we cause it to inadvertently suffer.

Peter Singer has moved on to teaching that a child is not even a person until some elusive time when it obtains, “rationality, autonomy, and self-consciousness.” These are required for a child to have the “essential characteristics of personhood.” 

So it’s okay that since 1973, because of some of our most prestigious judges being sold out to the enemy, we, as a nation, have slaughtered almost forty million innocent children in the name of selfishness. 

Imagine the potential that has been wasted.  Some of the earlier casualties of this warfare would be reaching the ages of maximum contribution to society.  God had a plan and a set of abilities and gifts for each one of them.

In the fiction I wrote at the beginning of this article, Jonathan was aborted because the parents didn’t really love each other and didn’t want a kid.  Susie was aborted because her parents found her to be inconvenient and an unfair burden to come from an evening of fun.   And no one was there for Josh’s mother to tell her that she could do something different.  The center she was in just wanted the child out of the way. 

There are many reasons that some think they should murder the innocent.  And I really hate that I sound so harsh.  And I do not judge or condemn anyone that has made this decision.  God loves you no matter what you might have done.  He can forgive you for whatever you might have done. 

 

 

 

I just wanted to point out one thing. 

Satan told Eve a lie.  She believed it and brought all of us into a war we didn’t ask for.  He is still lying.  He is telling some that murder is okay and he is telling some that it doesn’t matter if others do it as long as they don’t.  If anyone is okay with abortion, whether a woman having one, or a politician okay with it, or a person ignoring this by their vote, they are serving the enemy.

Anyone that could be a party to the dismemberment of an innocent, helpless child is deceived by the enemy of all of our souls.

Don’t buy into his lie?

I really love you all

What I Love To Do

   Posted by: Sonny Tags: , , , , ,

Have you ever found yourself being drawn into a conversation about someone else?  This can be called gossip; small talk or light chat about others.  It can also be slander; in the same family as gossip but more malicious and based on untruth usually.  It can be rumor; something heard but not substantiated either good or bad. 

Other types of discussion can be more worthy.  We sometimes talk about others to lift them up.  We praise and congratulate and affirm them in conversation also.  Conversations about others can be both positive and negative.

 

However we talk about people, what exactly are the limits of its value?  What does it accomplish?

 

Sometimes we find ourselves immersed in conversation about events.  What is going on around us is always important to us.  These conversations drive a lot of the discussion boards on the internet.  A forum I frequent seems to be very top heavy in its discourse on events. 

 

These events can be about things that are closely personal, community driven, of culturally impacting substance or of worldly import.  The events that are important to someone are as wide as the east is from the west.  If you find yourself wanting to discuss an event you can always find someone to discuss it with you. 

 

But again what do these conversations actually accomplish?

 

Then there are those who want to discuss ideas.  These people are a little strange to most of us.  Who hasn’t heard of a think tank?  Some people find significance just in the thinking on a thing.  A conclusion does not have to be reached for thought to find relevance.  This seems to me to be not that praiseworthy. 

 

But some discuss ideas with the desire to make a conclusion.  Application is the very essence of what the conversation is supposed to glean.  These idea driven conversations can be about a lot of different subjects.  Again, most people will only participate when it is a subject close to their heart. 

 

I love to talk about God.  I love to talk about what He has done.  But most of all I love to talk about what He wants.  What does he expect of you and me?  How does this particular issue look to Him? 

 

I read somewhere that small minds discuss people, average minds discuss events, but that great minds discuss ideas.  I don’t say this to belittle anyone.  It was just something I read and it made me think about the things we talk about and the ways we conduct our conversations. 

 

I hope we all get to a place where all we want is to discuss the person of God, the events of God and the ideas of God.  And especially those ideas.  I see it as glorifying Him when we talk about His person, praising Him when we talk of what He has done, but as actually having the means to effect change when we come to the discussion of Godly ideas and reach conclusions. 

 

(Isa 1:18)  “Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.

 

Our Lord is asking us to discuss ideas with Him.  I am sure that is what He would want us to do among each other.  I see the discussions about these ideas as the only conversations that have any real impact. So that is what I would love to do.  Discuss the ideas of God.

 

Love you all
