Following God’s lead

A news article said we will remember where we were July 13, 2024.

That day will be remembered as the day an assassination attempt was perpetrated against President Donald Trump. Some have referenced it as “the shot heard around the world.”

For some that day will be remembered as the tragic death and murder of a loved one.

Others will remember July 13th as a the day God cast His vote for Donald Trump by means of a miracle witnessed around the world.

History also indicates the piercing of the ear was an ancient custom representing the choice to remain a servant for life.

Regardless of religious affiliations, there is reason to believe that God cast His vote for Donald Trump to be the next President of the U.S.A. If he’s good enough for God, then as a U.S. citizen and registered voter, it seems wise to me to follow God’s lead.

Murder on the Ballot

The subject of abortion is constantly camouflaged by those who support this evil by referring to it in disguised terms such as “Reproductive Healthcare” or “pro-choice.” Both phrases are intended to hide the true intent which is to take an unwanted human life. But now the strategy in some states is to place a ballot initiative to make abortion a Constitutional right. Obviously the Ten Commandments are being ignored. “Thou shall not kill — except if I don’t want kid nor responsibility.”

Human life clearly begins at conception occurring shortly before the outline of a fetus can be seen via a sonogram. Having seen a child in the womb at this point of development, I find it impossible to accept that killing this future infant is anything other than murder. A fetus does not become a human at 12 or 18 weeks as some so blissfully claim but much sooner.

The pro-abortion crowd often try to portray a massive need for abortion citing, rape, incest and fetus with birth defects. While these awful incidents do occur and may or may not justify an abortion, they certainly do not justify the 600,000 abortions annually in this country. It would seem getting pregnant is not a chance event like getting wet at a sudden rainstorm, but involves willing adults who ignore absence or even birth control. So obviously this is irresponsibility at work with the pathetic solution to kill the child resulting from their actions. Abortion is wrong.
