Too Shocking .....Give Me a Break...

Every year at end of the school year , safe grads are promoted . Usually messages and presentations are given in the hopes that it will save lives.Rightfully so , for many of the youth will no doubt be at parties that can get out of hand . Along with the the words of warning come the visual . We have all seen them ,a wrecked car with its crumpled roof that looks more like an accordion than a car. I have even read where they have even shown kids a real accident scene with all its gore to hammer home the point. Don't drink or be on drugs and drive.

I have no problem with the graphic presentations. As they say , a picture paints a thousand words. It may jolt someone who just will not listen or for that matter ,does not care.

Now here is the thing that gets me. In the fight over the atrocity of abortion , many cry foul if a woman is subjected to the real pictures of abortion. They say its unfair and cruel to do so. But how many of the same advocates who cry foul here , have no problem with showing the wreckage a real accident or those who protest war , the real victims .

The fact is the only reason that pro choice advocates do not want these pictures published is because it humanizes the abortion. It removes all the clinical , the sterile aspect of it and in graphic terms , makes in human. You are confronted that what is being brutally destroyed is not a lump of cells , a non-human "it" but a baby. A small little human being made in the image of God. He or she unique and unlike any other human being on this earth.

Evil can be so sterile and unseen if we let it be. The bottom line is if you are willing to kill an unborn child , you at least should have the courage to look at what you have done.

Miscellanous and Other Things

It has been a while , almost a month since my last entry . I have been a bit busy getting my oldest son's bedroom finished. Since he will be staying home while he hits the college trail , he needed his own room. Up till this point he has shared a large room with his brother. So that is what I have been tied up with.

So here goes a few thoughts .

I'm a hockey fan.A leaf fan to be exact and so far this year they are off to a disastrous start.I'm not surprised . They lack many key pieces that are a must for a winning team. Leadership on the ice and a game breaker are sorely lacking. But as all Leaf fans know , hope springs eternal and its still early.

At our Church we have been having a wonderful study of the Holiness of God. It has been a great time of fellowship and study about this very important aspect of God. If we fail to see His holiness at the root of all His other attributes like His justice,mercy,love,wrath etc.. then we will be messed up concerning His nature.

Listening to some some great new music from Todd Agnew,Matt Redman,Matt Mahar,Leeland and many others. This year has been an exceptional year for Christian music. Hope to review some of them soon.

Finishing up the book Christless Christianity by Micheal Horton. It is hard hitting how many churches have pushed Christ to the side and what we are getting is therapeutic centered moral-ism .When we look at Jesus as our moral example and not our Lord and Savior , we have replaced Christ with moral-ism .Great book.

Lastly looking forward to a couple of things. The new Steven Curtis Chapman Cd , Christmas Cd's from Chris Tomlin and Downhere . The new animated movie A Christmas Carol featuring Jim Carrey.

So that is all for now ....I will be back sooner than later , I promise.
