THE DIFFERENCE
I got up early one
morning and rushed right into the day;
I had so much to
accomplish that I didn't have time to pray.
Problems just
tumbled about me, and heavier came each task.
"Why doesn't God help
me?" I wondered,
He answered, "You
didn't ask."
I wanted to see joy
and beauty, but the day toiled on, gray and bleak;
I wondered why God didn't
show me,
He said, "But you
didn't seek."
I tried to come into
God's presence; I used all my keys at the lock.
God gently and lovingly
chided, "My child, you didn't knock."
I woke up early this
morning and paused before entering the day;
I had so much to
accomplish that I had to take time to pray.

Five
to Four For Death
On June
28, 2000 the United States Supreme Court ruled in a five to four
decision that the law in Nebraska to ban partial birth abortion was
not constitutional. In his dissent to this ungodly decision Justice
Antonin Scalia wrote:
"Today's decision that the Constitution of the
United States prevents the prohibition of a horrible mode of abortion,
will be greeted by a firestorm of criticism... as well it
should." He further
stated: "(this) method of killing a human child... is so
horrible that the most clinical description evokes a shudder of
revulsion."
Justice
Clarence Thomas in expressing his dissent wrote the following
description of partial birth abortion:
"After dilating the cervix, the physician will
grab the fetus by its feet and pull the fetal body out of the
uterus...the head will be held inside the uterus by the woman's cervix.
While the fetus is stuck in this position, dangling partly out
of the woman's body, just a few inches from completed birth, the
physician uses an instrument such as a pair of scissors to tear or
perforate the skull. The physician will then either crush the skull
or will use a vacuum to remove the brain and other intracranial
contents from the fetal skull, collapse the fetus' head, and pull the
fetus from the uterus."
Thomas
is the only black justice on the court and from his statement you can
ascertain his strong opposition to abortion and why the liberal media
and politicians hate him. His pro-life stance is why the
"pro-choice" (to kill babies) group did all they could to
keep him off the Supreme Court. "Daniel Patrick Moynihan, the current democratic
senator from New York has likened partial birth abortion to
infanticide." (All the above quotes are from National
Right to Life News, Suite
500, 419 Seventh St. NW, Washington, D.C. 20004, August 2000.)
ARE
YOU IMMERSED?
It
has been proved that if a person from another
country comes to America,
the
quickest way for them to learn English is to be immersed in it. That
means to talk in English at home, read English newspapers and books, listen to English
TV shows and radio, etc. I heard about a school in one of the states
that has a large Spanish speaking population which showed dramatic
results when they had their students immersed in English in all facets
of life. If you think about that, it only makes sense. You can't learn
English if you are speaking and hearing Spanish all the time.
Do
you want to be more spiritual? Immerse yourself in spirituality. Talk
in spiritual terms, surround yourself with spiritual people, listen to
spiritual speakers, read the Bible instead of worldly literature, etc.
If you think about that, it only makes sense. You can't become more
spiritual if you are speaking and hearing worldliness all the time.
Immerse yourself in spiritual things.
"Finally,
brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble,
whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things
are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue
and if there is anything praiseworthy
meditate on these things."
(Philippians 4:8).
