busy, busy

I know I don't post too often anyway, and I'm writing this more for myself than for you, but I'm planning (hoping) to be on the computer a bit less... "the cap'n." has an Egyptian feast coming up, there's school meetings, dentists appt's, orthodontist app'ts, basketball games and practices, birthdays, and I'm hoping to get a head start on Spring cleaning the house (in actuality, with everything going on, I'll be happy to keep clean clothes and the floor swept)!

So ta-ta for a little bit!

unholy holiday

Following are some links in regards to the Roe v. Wade anniversary:

~"We lose more babies through abortion every year than the total fatalities in all of the wars in which we have ever participated, commencing with the French and Indian War and including the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, the Civil War, the Spanish-American War, World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Gulf War I, and Gulf War II. What’s wrong with religious people who are not making this their paramount issue?" Dr. Richard Land, president of The Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission This "Life Quote" is from Lutherans For Life – http://www.lutheransforlife.org/Journal_Newsletter/Life_Quotes/life_quotes.htm

~A couple of years back I was debating abortion at an athiest website and in doing my research, I found this link describing cell development on 181 surplus human embryos. I've held this link in my web "favorites" and think of these 181 surplus babies from time to time.

~I also found the Visible Embryo website to be interesting and Lennart Nilsson has captured the most amazing images of the miracle of birth... many images I am sure you'll recognize.

~Check out Gene Veith for more discussion on what he calls an "unholy holiday."

Looks mighty fine on my bookshelf...

I don't win too many things, so I'm happy to have won this from the guys over at the basket. I just hope there isn't a quiz on it or anything.
