Meet the Staff
This is another in my "Meet the staff" series, where I introduce the reader to the people who work at my local abortion clinic. The object is to show what kind of people typically do abortions. Not the Kermit Gosnells, but the "average Joe". The media paints these people as angels and pro lifers as demons. But is that really the case? I started looking...

Silly Senator Cruz
Sen. Cruz (photo from LifeSiteNews)
In an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network Senator Ted Cruz of Texas (Republican, you might guess) said:
If you look at other nations that have gone down the road towards gay marriage, that’s the next step where it gets enforced. It gets enforced against Christian pastors who decline to perform gay...

Monday Joke
Mary was coming home from a trip and was driving through New Mexico when she saw an elderly woman walking along the side of the road. She stopped the car and asked the woman if she would like a lift?
With a silent nod, the woman climbed into the car. Mary tried in vain to make conversation with the woman, but she wasn't very talkative. The old woman...

Meet the Staff
If you follow this blog you've heard about Kermit Gosnell, the PA abortionist who's now serving time for murder. I think most people have the impression that Gosnell is an aberration, and that most abortion workers are actually professional, kind people. Certainly that is how they are portrayed in the media - "saints in surgical garb" who are beleaguered...

Marriage and Drowning
Recently there have been articles about marriage. About why marriage is really only marriage in the Church, about how the Church should distance itself from civil marriage and about how the Church should not distance itself from civil marriage. Here's what I think, by way of analogy.
Consider a lifeguard, protecting swimmers at a beach. So the marriage...

Monday Joke
Three turtles, Joe, Steve, and Mike, decide to go on a picnic. Joe packs the picnic basket with cookies, bottled sodas, and sandwiches. The trouble is, the picnic site is 10 miles away, so the turtles take 10 whole days to get there.
By the time they do arrive, everyone's whipped and hungry. Joe takes the stuff out of the basket, one by one. He...

When does Human Life Begin? Part 3 Uncertainty
This is the third installment of this series on the question of "when does human life begin?" If you haven't already, please see Part 1 on Science and Part 2 on Religion. In this post we're going to cover uncertainty. This is a topic we touched on at the end of the religion post, since there is no definitive answer from religion as to whether or...

They parked their truck the end of the alley and worked their way to the other end. At the last house, a woman looking out her kitchen window watched the two men as they checked her gas meter.Finishing the meter check,...

When does human life begin? Part 2 - Religion
This is the second installment in a series of posts on the question of "when does human life begin?" Part one of this series examined what science has to say about the matter. In this installment we discuss what religion (specifically Christianity) has to say about it.
When I started looking at this question I thought the answer was pretty cut and...

When Does Human Life Begin? Part 1 - Science
In the wake of the horrible potential for the legalization of abortion in Ireland I thought I would write a few posts exploring some of the basic issues about abortion.
The most basic question of the pro-life pro-choice debate is "when does human life begin?" Because if abortion kills a human being then almost everyone would consider it wrong. If...

A Monumental Thought
I was reading about the atheist monument erected near the Ten Commandments monument in Starke Florida. This is supposedly a break for "religious freedom" in that it's the first time an atheist monument was erected on government land. From what I can see in the pictures of it, it looks like it is not affirming anything, but merely mocking Christianity....

Mom and Dad were trying to console little Susie, whose dog, Spot, had recently died."You know," Mom said, "it's not so bad. Spot's probably up in Heaven right now, having a grand old time with God."Susie stopped crying and asked, "What would God want with a dead do...
