The Star

The star shone cold and clear, winking on the desert plain. Just another night.  No special sight. Shepherds, sheep . . . bed down to sleep. Herod, covered by his palace and power, his fear in his tower, pays no notice. It’s a single star shining amidst an eternity. Just another night.  No special sight. A king, a birth . . . but nothing of worth. A thousand miles east, magi feast on the sky, a scroll to the eye so versed. The star sings the coronation of a king, “Come and see!  Come and see!” The star still shines….

God Provides

The Lord is my shepherd.  I shall not want.  (Psalm 23:1) And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.  (Ph 4:19) Praise you, Father, for you give freely and abundantly all we need for every good work in Christ Jesus.  God provides.  We moved to Austin in October 2001.  At the time, we had no job and three small children, one of whom was in the womb, so we knew we had some hefty medical bills in front of us.  We came because God called us to come.

Abortion and the Sexual Revolution

In 2020, COVlD ravaged the world, and people died by the millions.  The Center for Disease Control reports that in the United States in 2021, the year in which COVID deaths peaked, COVID “was associated with approximately 460,000 deaths.”[1] That is the worst year the United States had with COVID.  In 2020, the United States aborted about 930,000 children.[2]  Thus, if COVID was a problem (and it was), abortion is more than double the problem.  In its down years, abortion takes the lives of far more people than COVID ever did in its worst year.  If you considered COVID to…

What is a Person?

A fetus is alive.  That is indisputable.  A fetus is human.  That is indisputable.  Put those two facts together and you find that a fetus is a human life.  Everyone agrees that at some point a fetus has human worth.  Everyone has a magic line beyond which you can no longer kill.  Prolife people consistently believe that line to be conception because at conception we now have a human life.  Proabortion people say, “No, that magic line lies elsewhere.”  They may not know exactly where that line is, and those who propose such a line certainly disagree amongst themselves over…

But What About . . .

In previous blogs I have stated why I am prolife.  I now want to address arguments you will hear from the proabortion side.  Choice A woman has a right to do what she wants with her own body.  This is the main argument the proabortion side gives.  My body, my choice.  You’ll hear this a million times in the media.  And, of course, I support the sentiment as a general statement.  In general, everyone should have the right to do what they want with their own bodies.  No complaints there. But we recognize exceptions to the principle.  We know that…
