This weekend we had a rather somber church service. A service remembering the anniversay of the Supreme Court decision of Roe vs. Wade on abortion.
And, of course, an occasion like that gets me thinking. Thinking about all the statistics of what has happened in America since that decision on abortion. And thinking about the importance of teaching our children the value of life.
For those of you with older children, here are the links to information we used in homeschool this week:
http://www.roevwade.org/rvw1.html - yearly abortion statistics. The number of abortions has increased so much that there is one every 24 seconds.
http://www.nrlc.org/abortion/index.html - info on abortion techniques

'In 2000, more children died from abortion than Americans died in the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, World Wars I and II, the Korean, Vietnam and Gulf Wars combined'

Today, I hug my children. I thank God for them.
Today I pray for those pregnant teens and other women who are in emotional distress, for comfort for them, and for guidance to lead them in the way of adoption.
Today, I pray for our country and for the oportunity we have to reverse Roe vs. Wade.
Please take a moment right now to do the same.
Thank God for the people who fight for the rights of these unborn infants just as we would fight for justice if anyone took the life of one of our children.
Reflect and remember what abortion is doing to America.
Teaching Your Child To Lift a Car
Yesterday my husband Wade took the day off (that’s one of the really cool things about having your own business!). The only bad thing about yesterday is that two of the kids are still sick—they have that cold with the horrible cough and congestion.A Mayonnaise Jar and Two Cups of Coffee
When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember this story about a mayonnaise jar and 2 cups of coffee...Kraft and Nabisco Label for Special Diets
For those of you on special diets, you know the value of great ingredient labeling! I did hear on the radio that all food companies will be required to list things like gluten, but those regulations will not be totally in effect until 2008!!! Now, how could it possibly take three years to change a label? I don't know, but in the meantime, I've been making a lot of phone calls to manufacturers.
