Crazy Day At The Abortion Mill, Including Physical Assault, A Police Report, And More!

Hi everyone,
On Friday we once again had the privilege of  joining our brothers and sisters in Christ at the Planned Parenthood in Portland. We had no officer on the sidewalk with us when we showed up besides the one police officer who is a volunteer for Planned Parenthood. Yes, you read that right a police officer who is also a Planned Parenthood volunteer with a pink vest and all. That officer is at least polite to our group and responds when we say "good morning" and will say "bye" and tell us to have a good day. Another "deathscort" also talked to me some. Strange but a pleasant change.

We had the regular day of passing out tracts, having our signs out, preaching the Gospel, prayer, and a great time being able to be together as the body of Christ to proclaim our glorious Savior, Jesus Christ. Who has saved us from our lives of sin and by His grace and mercy has made us sons and daughters of God.

One person walked passed us saying that we hated women. What I do not understand is why a lady would say that we hate women when a lot of the people standing for life are women. I guess if her assertion is true I hate myself because I am a woman. I also must hate all the other women who stand out there as part of our group and I must be lying when I tell the woman "deathscort" that I love her. I do not know how she knows whether or not I love or hate someone. Evidently she knows my thoughts.

This is the adult male who assaulted me.

We also had some new happenings this week. A man came up to Mommy and took a tract from her which he then threw into the nearby trash can. I am calling him a man but really he is not a man only an adult male. He then came up to Daddy who was the preacher this week and started mocking him by repeating what Daddy said. The good thing was he repeated anything so he would repeat "Jesus Christ is King". Daddy was wearing a very visible body camera that we had borrowed from our friend Brian for the day. The man did not seem to mind that camera. However I took the kindle I had and started taking a video. The man evidently did not like that and decided to physically assault me and hit my kindle. Thankfully I was not injured.

The man then walked down the sidewalk. Daddy followed him and told him that we were calling the police and that he could not leave until he had talked to an officer. The man did not seem to want to stay around and wait for a police officer and crossed the street and walked off. When the man hit my kindle we shouted for someone to call the police. Soon we had I think 3 people on the phone with the police and Daddy was following the man down the street so that we could report his location to the police when they arrived.

The man who assaulted me walked into the post office and the police told Daddy to stand outside the building. Soon a police officer arrived followed by 4 more officers. Two officers went to the back entrance to watch there while 1 stayed with Daddy and 2 more went searching the post office. Thanks to the body camera the police officer got a picture of the man. Donna was also there today and got a good picture as well. (Posted above) Soon Daddy came back to Planned Parenthood and the officer also came and needed to talk to Daddy and I. I had to sign the police report and give my name, date of birth, address, phone number and the usual things. He asked if I was injured but I was not. The officer, Blake Cunningham, was very kind, respectful, caring, and overall professional. Daddy has already posted a recommendation of him. Officer Cunningham was going to track the man down and if he needed us he would call. We have not heard from him yet.  We will check the police blotter sometime to see if he was ever arrested or summoned. Please be praying for the salvation of the man who assaulted me. He needs a saving knowledge of the truth!

Another man made a gesture that was kind of like he was smacking a tract out of my hand but did not actually touch me. It was after the other man had assaulted me. The man tried to explain what he did and say that he did not actually touch me, which was true, but the definition of assault is not physical touch but making gestures or saying something that is threatening. He says that he was holding out his hand like a hand shake and then moved it like he was combing his hair. Very immature to say the least. Believe me I could not make this stuff up. We did not call the police on him but we were not happy with his actions.

Chloe, (a.k.a. C-Flow), Kiara, and I had a good time of prayer together. It is always a blessing to be able to pray together especially when it comes to a stressful place like Planned Parenthood. Even when no one seems to be listening to the Gospel or when people are very angry, we can always take our burdens to the Lord.


Nothing else big
happened at Planned Parenthood today. We did get the ever famous phrase, "Judge Not". If only people could read the whole Bible and not just cherry pick the parts they liked. I seem to recall another verse that said, 'Open your mouth, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy.
Maybe we should start taking the whole counsel of Scripture.

After Planned Parenthood we traveled to Wiscasset to do some ministry. We had had a run in with law enforcement there back in June. (See my post from a few months ago, "A Week With The Police".) We contacted a lawyer, by the way I highly recommend Center for Religious Expression if you ever need a lawyer. After talking to the lawyer they wrote a letter to the town of Wiscasset.

The town wrote back and said that we were allowed to come back to the town and our lawyer wanted us to make sure they would allow us back so we decided to go back this week. We showed up and almost immediately the man who called the police on us last time saw us again and  he called the police again this week and lied about us.

A short time later an officer showed up and asked Daddy about our van. Daddy said that it was our van and the officer said that someone had said that it was parked in a handicap spot without a handicap placard. We did indeed have a handicap  placard so Daddy told the officer and the officer left. Thankfully this was a easy situation to clear up and we did not have as many problems as last time. Please pray for this man who seems to be calling the cops on us when we go to Wiscasset. He needs salvation!

With love in the Lord,

My Blog Refuted?

Hi everyone,
Recently a friend of ours posted a picture on Facebook and talked about abortion. One of her family members said something so Daddy responded to him. The conversation turned to evolution and Daddy told the man, Charles, that I argued with a professor from Columbia University on Facebook. Charles actually was skeptical that I (informally) debated the professor and said that he must not of known much about evolution.

Now while I will say that the professor is a fool because anyone that suppresses the truth about God by saying in their heart that God does not exist, is a fool according to the Bible. But what I would not say is that the professor does not know what he is talking about when it comes to the issue of evolution. I told Charles to "Google" the professor's name and try to prove his assertion that the professor did not know much about evolution. Charles has yet to provide a single shred of evidence that proves evolution. Anyway while he works on finding evidence for evolution that does not exist he decided to "refute" my blog. He picked my post from last week about the letter to the editor that the reverend wrote in response to my letter to the editor about abortion.

Charles' post is very long so here is link. Charles is working on a video refuting my debate with the professor. I wrote to Brian and Andrew since they are also good with these things. As always Brian thinks we could do a debate. I do not know how exactly we will respond whether in video, blog post, or debate. For now I will just comment about his argument against my last blog post.

I said: One person told me that I should seek help. You know there are many good counselors. I think this person should seek help from the only one who can really help any of us, God Almighty.

Charles said: I would not say a counselor but perhaps a real school? Not the suddo (sic) Christian indoctrination cycle you guys pathetically pass off as a school. I mean a real school, where you are taught science. Not this pretend 'christian' science. Yes, kiddo that is all christian science is, pretend. You are the product of abuse. Being denied truth in favor of fairy tales rather than making that choice for yourself after the age of reason. You did not make the choice it was made for you before you were ever born, by your parents.

You know this man is blaming my parents for what I said instead of me. If that is what he believes than why is he going to blast my name on the internet because of what I said. This guy has my picture on his Facebook page many times. But that is okay it is not my fault it is all my parents fault that is why he is blasting MY name and MY picture?  Why am I being held accountable for what I said if I had no choice in what I believed? This is confusing.

Charles said: So let me pose the question that you seem to ignore. How many hungry and needy children have you cared for? When was the last time you donated money to a children;s hospital? When was the last time you skipped a meal to feed a hungry child. The point this person was making, is your hypocritical double standard. 'Don't kill the unborn, but after they are born, screw them.'' Typical of a Christian but on an open debate not a great move.

Just so you know Charles. My parents believe that children are such a blessing that they have 7 of them. Because of this the state will not let us adopt more children to care for. When our group is at the abortion mill we offer help to mothers. And just because we do not donate money to children's hospitals why is it my job to take of someone else's child? We take care of our own children and then do what we can to help others. I think that is a pretty good approach. And to those who have the resources to care for hungry children by providing meals and such that is great for them. But we use the resources God has given us and other people use the resources God has given them. Is abortion acceptable if indeed we did not care for born babies? Is it acceptable to kill babies because their parents don't want to care for them?

I said: Another person said they wished they lived in a world where people like me did not exist. Well I bet that is how they feel about the one true God but that does not make Him, or me, cease to exist. You can wish all you want but that does not change reality.

Charles said: First, let me strongly disagree with said person. I do not want you Christians to disappear, you're to much fun. '' You can wish all you want''. Funny coming from someone who prays to an invisible creature they have never seen and can not prove is real. Wishing on a star is essentially your entire belief system.

I am a presuppositionalist. I can prove that God exists. But I do not think you are going to listen to me Charles. You know I have a shirt that says something very fitting it says: "I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you." Oh, and while I wish all professing atheists came to a saving knowledge of the truth I think talking to you is fun as well. By the way there are no atheists in the world.  Professing atheists know God exists they just suppress the truth in unrighteousness and last I checked people who do not exist cannot cease to exist. 

I said: Another accused one of the "fundies", I assume she meant one of our group, of saying that pregnancy resulting from rape was a blessing. I admit it, I think that even if the child was conceived because of rape that child is still a blessing. Children are always a blessing! This person may have been the one I had a discussion with on Planned Parenthood's facebook page because they accused me of something similar there.

Charles said: Woa. See this right here is indoctrination at it's finest. You are going to, with a straight face look at someone your own age, who after being brutally gang raped, tell them god blessed them? Let, me get this clear. God blessed them by having them raped so they could have a baby, when they themselves are still a child. Perhaps you should take some time and talk with actual rape victims. Go down to the local crisis shelter. Talk with them, see how many are feeling blessed.

Yes Charles I am going to tell a rape victim that the child in their womb is a blessing from God. Rape is not a blessing. Rape is evil it is a man willfully making the decision to brutally harm a woman It is terrible what happened to them that produced that child but the child is still a blessing and cannot be punished because of the sins of their father. I will love them and will help them in whatever way I can and share the Gospel with them. I will cry with them and do whatever I can to help them heal from their terrible circumstances. But I will not tell them that they can kill a child for the sins of their father which is expressly prohibited in God's word.

I said: That was just a few of the comments. Recently another man wrote a letter to the editor about his views on the abortion issue. This man claims to be a "reverend" and calls himself a christian. But I can tell you that in this aspect he is not acting Christlike. You can read the letter here. I am not writing exact quotes due to copyright laws but if you read the letter first this should make sense.

Charles said: Copyright laws do not apply to letters to an editor. 'Judge not, lest ye be judged.'' Ya, I am paraphrasing but I think the point is rather clear. You are judging someone far older than yourself who in all likelihood has studied the bible for twice as long as you have been alive. It is your opinion he is not Christlike. How do you know? Did you meet Christ? Or is your statement based on what you believe the bible says? I suspect the later.

The Bible also says, "Open your mouth judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy" I am "judging" the reverend based on the clear revelation of God. God said something clearly in the Bible, "You shall not murder". When someone says that it is okay to murder I can say to them that God said "You shall not murder" and that is not me imposing my opinion on someone it is me pointing someone who claims to be Christian back to the word of God. And in answer to your question, yes, I have met Christ. He is my Lord and the Holy Spirit is dwelling inside me. It does not matter how long someone has been studying the Bible that does not mean that they cannot be wrong. Everyone is fallible instead of looking to people's flawed interpretations of Scripture look to Scripture itself.

I said: This man thinks that I am entitled to my opinion but I am not allowed to require other professing Christians to to agree with me. I do not require other Christians to agree with my opinion. I just tell them that they need to agree with God's word. There is a difference. My opinion does not matter, what God said in His Word does matter.

Charles said: I Timothy 2:12 ''But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.'' So do you agree with God's word? Are you 'in silence''? Apparently god's word does not matter to you. Only the parts that you think are important and have translated to fit your narrow minded viewpoint, do.

So I am not allowed to speak at all? I am not in authority over men. I can say what God's Word says and when I do that it is not me speaking from my own authority that is God's authority because He said it. When I speak I am not in authority over men I am merely expressing my opinion. Like I said my opinion does not matter.

I said: At the end of the letter the reverend said that in such a context abortion can be morally justified and ethically correct. Since abortion is murder, this "reverend" just said that murder is morally justified and ethically correct in at least certain circumstances! And then he calls himself a person of the Christian faith!

Charles said: Oh no whatever will we do?! This guy who claims to be a Christian disagrees with me! ..... Yes kid it happens. This only offers evidence your bible was written by men, not a perfect god. If it was written by a perfect god then the message within would also be perfect. It would be unmistakable and understood by all who read it without any room to be mistranslated. Oh, and no he said under certain circumstances abortion is justifiable, not that murder is justified. 
To save the life of a mother who happens to be nine years old and was brutally gang raped by an Islamic extremist group, defiantly (sic) seems justifiable. Does it not? Or are you the judge of whose life is more important? If the doctors do not preform (sic)the abortion she dies. Now let's say they share your view and do not preform (sic) it. The mother dies. Is that not murder of the mother? .... I know Christians brain working overtime now.
Yes people are going to disagree with me. I know, trust me plenty of people disagree with me. The problem is not when people disagree with me, the problem is when someone says that they believe God and call themselves a Christian and then deny the plain meaning of God's written revelation. That is a problem. People can disagree with me all they want, they just should not disagree with their Creator and King.

When you say that this offers evidence that the Bible was written by men I have to disagree. The Bible is the Word of God. People are fallible that is why there are different interpretations of the Bible not because the Bible is in error it is because the people reading it are in error.
Let me translate. Abortion is murder in every circumstance. So when someone says abortion is justifiable they say that murder is justifiable. Now I think you are trying to make me feel pity for this hypothetical 9 year old. Yes I would feel sorry for this young mother and would do everything I could to help her, like I said before. Now I would like you, Charles, to provide me with one piece of evidence that shows that pregnancy has ever killed someone. And if the pregnancy has not yet killed the girl how do we know it will? Sometimes doctors make mistakes and misdiagnose someone. And no I do not think that murder is justifiable in any circumstance.

Charles said: You have done nothing but offer opinion. In direct violation of I Timothy I might add. You do realize that Planned Parenthood does more than just abortions right? In fact abortion services make up a very small percentage of what they do. Maybe just maybe, if you I don't know, actually visited a facility and talked to the people inside a light might come on for ya.

Yes Charles I do know that Planned Parenthood offers more than abortions. But no matter how much supposed good someone does that does mean that they are allowed to murder people. As long as Planned Parenthood provides abortions I cannot support them. And if I tried visiting the Planned Parenthood facility in Portland which is where I minister I would be arrested by Portland Police Department. Let's make a deal Charles, if you make a deal with Planned Parenthood in Portland and with the police that says that I will not be arrested for criminal trespassing and that a Planned Parenthood employee will actually talk to me and answer my questions I might go in and talk to them. But sadly I do not think that will happen.

Prayer
Please be in prayer for our family as on Tuesday we are planning on going to Earth Science Day in Augusta. I am hoping to be able to have conversations with some of the scientists there about evolution and the Christian worldview. Please pray that I would have wisdom and that God would give me the words to say and that God would open the eyes and the hearts of the scientists to the truth of His word. Please pray for their salvation.

With love in the Lord,

Letter To The Editor On Abortion Receives Many Comments And Even Another Letter To The Editor About My Post

Hi everyone.
In my last post I wrote about my letter to the editor at Portland Press Herald. The letter was in response to another letter to the editor written by a young woman named Caroline. I wrote back, (see my last post.) It was published on their website and received over 80 comments. Recently a "reverend" wrote a response to my letter. I would like to take a little time discussing these comments and the reverend's response.

For the comments:
One comment asked, Whose god? Which god? and went on to tell me to do what my God wants me to do and to keep out of other people's beliefs.Well I hope everyone can see the blatant contradiction there. He is arguing against my beliefs by saying that I should leave people's beliefs alone and at the same time trying to make me follow his beliefs. Oh well, what should I expect from people who cannot even justify their worldview let alone justify logical argumentation.

Another person wanted to tell me that my view on abortion being premeditated murder is just my opinion. Sorry but that was not my opinion God had come up with that "opinion" long before I did.

One person asked me to please stay out their bedroom and out of their religion. Well if they want me to stay out their business maybe they should stay out of my business and stop telling me what do with my religion.

And I did not know this but my level of ignorance and my blind faith will end up putting millions of women at risk and without access to healthcare. Or at least that is what one person thinks about me.

One person told me that I should seek help. You know there are many good counselors. I think this person should seek help from the only one who can really help any of us, God Almighty.

One person told me that as an American first and foremost they respect my opinion. They then went on to say that they were an atheist and disagreed with my belief in God but at least they were polite. I like civil conversations more than yelling matches. This comment was better than some of the others.

Someone said that we do not want to adopt special needs children, babies born addicted to drugs or "other-racial" children. First question, who ever said that? I would love to adopt a baby no matter what problems they had. Health problems whatever, we can deal with it. And "other-racial" children? We are not racists. We accept people no matter what shade of skin they have. Maybe the person who wrote this did not realize that two of the brothers who preach outside Planned Parenthood are dark skinned and that two of the families there, including my family, have children with disabilities. Oh and the founder of Pro-Life Missionaries of Maine adopted a boy from Ethiopia. Hint, he is not white. Oh and that lady is actually half Japanese. She isn't even all white. Well there goes that argument.

One person said to feed, clothe, and help the living children before I get obsessed with anything else. That is what I am doing trying to keep mothers from murdering their living children. I think that is a good first step to caring for them.

Another person said they wished they lived in a world where people like me did not exist. Well I bet that is how they feel about the One True God but that does not make Him, or me, cease to exist. You can wish all you want but that does not change reality.

Yet another person said that I need to minister to the group in front of Planned Parenthood about lying because ALL of our posters lie and they actively LIE. If they could provide facts that show we are lying I would like to hear them. PLEASE provide evidence for your claims instead of just making assertions.

Another accused one of the "fundies", I assume she meant one of our group, of saying that pregnancy resulting from rape was a blessing. I admit it, I think that even if the child was conceived because of rape that child is still a blessing. Children are always a blessing! This person may have been the one I had a discussion with on Planned Parenthood's facebook page because they accused me of something similar there.

That was just a few of the comments. Recently another man wrote a letter to the editor about his views on the abortion issue. This man claims to be a "reverend" and calls himself a christian. But I can tell you that in this aspect he is not acting Christlike. You can read the letter here. I am not writing exact quotes due to copyright laws but if you read the letter first this should make sense.

Yes I do claim to know God's will in this matter concerning abortion. He said "You shall not murder." I think that is pretty clear what He meant. This man can think whatever he wants but that does not make it true. As is made clear in the rest of the letter this man is not getting his argument from the Bible so I think that he probably went against his own advice and had an already formed opinion and then twisted Scripture to try to justify his claim.

This man thinks that I am entitled to my opinion but I am not allowed to require other professing Christians to to agree with me. I do not require other Christians to agree with my opinion. I just tell them that they need to agree with God's word. There is a difference. My opinion does not matter,  what God said in His Word does matter.

Also, the prophet Micah said to "do justice." Being a voice for the voiceless and calling people to stand up for justice and the rights of the unborn sounds like doing justice to me. "Love kindness." Yes be kind to the baby in the womb. Maybe for a start you could try showing kindness to them by not murdering them in their mother's womb. "Walk humbly with God." Yes, humble yourself before God acknowledge that God is smarter than you and stop trying to make up your own opinions and saying that your thoughts are better than His revealed Word. And also why are you judging my personal faith decisions based on your biases and beliefs. Let me make my own decisions based on my understanding of God, faith and my circumstances Reverend. Please Reverend take your own advice and stop telling me what to believe.

At the end of the letter the reverend said that in such a context abortion can be morally justified and ethically correct. Since abortion is murder, this "reverend" just said that murder is morally justified and ethically correct in at least certain circumstances! And then he calls himself a person of the Christian faith!

He then says that he helped found the Religious Coalition for Abortion Rights and then said that he is a strong supporter of Planned Parenthood. Then he says that is where his faith leads him not to the absolutism I expressed in my letter. Well, that can be where his faith leads you because he does not have faith in the God of the Bible who expressly states that "You shall not murder," and that we should take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness. I express absolutism because I am stating what God has said and He is the ultimate authority! I have a reason to be absolute. Sadly this reverend is resting his argument on mere opinion not on the authority of God's Word.

My friend Sam Caldwell wrote an excellent response to this man's letter. Here it is:
Dear Donald J. Rudalevige,

I would like to offer some loving responses to your ‘Letter to the Editor.’ I am praying for you - praying to our heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, and in the power of the Holy Spirit.

You wrote, “Virginia Cowperthwaite is very decided in her knowledge of what is God’s will. I suggest that such certainty is usually derived from a person’s already-formed opinion, which then looks to Scripture to support it.”

That could very well be the case. But could it not also be the case that Miss Cowperthwaite is “very decided” because she is following Paul’s words in Romans 12:1? (Please forgive me; I am quoting the Bible because you were quoting the Bible. I want to meet the terms of your argument.) There Paul commands, “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”

Could it not be that Miss Cowperthwaite is in fact "testing" and "discerning" something true about the will of God? Could it perhaps be that she is taking the Scriptures to be clear enough for us to read them intelligently, clear enough for us to know and follow God’s will from them?

I appreciate that you quote from Micah 6:8. You write, “The prophet Micah says that it is God’s will ‘to do justice, love kindness and walk humbly with God.’” But I must ask: did you not discern something clear about God’s will in that verse? Or is your perception of God’s will here just as opinion-ridden as Miss Cowperthwaite’s?

I don’t know whom to trust!

If you did discern something intelligible about God’s will in Micah 6:8, do you believe that such a beautiful text stands alone? Or would you allow for the thought that Micah’s terms find further definition elsewhere in the Word of God?

(In a word, what do you think about how Paul and the Bereans teach us to ‘compare spiritual things with spiritual’ (1 Corinthians 2:13), to ‘search the Scriptures’ (Acts 17:11)?)

Don’t you love the other parts of the Bible where those things Micah promotes – justice, a love of kindness, and walking humbly – are further defined?

Is the “justice” you read of in Micah divorced from the enjoinment of Proverbs 24:11: “Deliver those who are being taken away to death, And those who are staggering to slaughter, Oh hold them back”?

Is the “love” part of God’s will – which you clearly discerned in your reading of Micah 6:8, didn’t you? – at all connected with what Paul says in 1 Corinthians 13:6? There Paul tells us that true love “does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth.” What do you think of such love? Or do you find that “the truth” is better left as a matter of opinion? Surely the truth could never “require agreement,” or lead Miss Cowperthwaite to do so, could it?

Does your love “rejoice with the truth,” or does your love find “the truth” foggier than the Portland Head Light?

Does your “love of kindness” also love the kindness of God? For the kindness of God leads you to repentance (Romans 2:4), if Paul was speaking clearly. But repentance from what? Surely we’d have to have a modicum of agreement – some semblance of truth – if we were to speak of an actual repentance from an actual…something, no?

But the part of Micah 6:8 that really speaks clearly to you is the part about “walking humbly.” You write, “For me, that humility suggests that we not try to judge the personal faith decisions of others on the basis of our beliefs and biases, but allow them the choice of their understanding of God, faith and circumstance.”

I guess you are entitled to your opinion, just as Miss Cowperthwaite is to hers. But what you “may not do, yet seek to do, is require others of us who identify as Christian” to agree with you.

You assume agreement, as you must be aware, when you tell us what it means to be “fully human.” You seek agreement when you tell us that “In such a context, abortion can be a morally justified and ethically correct option.”

And I hope you realize that at that point in your Letter you have laid down your Bible, so I will put mine down too for a moment - if only to try to meet the terms of your argument.

You believe that “To be fully human means to make choices based on one’s own understanding of faith, their personal circumstances and their relationship to others.”

My fully human choice-making faculties are telling me that either a) you are right in your stance on abortion, b) Miss Cowperthwaite is right, or c) you’re both wrong.

With an issue as serious as abortion, I quite respectfully would not want to follow a mere “matter of opinion” from either of you. The stakes are just too high!

Either “babies are being murdered” or “abortion can be a morally justified and ethically correct option.”

Or…maybe it’s all just a matter of opinion, and the God who called Himself “the Truth” (John 14:6) does not require agreement from His followers on something as insignificant as a few million human lives. Because after all, those lives are not "fully human" on your definition, are they?

I like that phrase of yours, “to be fully human.” If only someone could define it in a more humane way.

David, how did you define the "fully human" in Psalm 139:13-16?

"For You formed my inward parts;
You wove me in my mother’s womb.
I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Wonderful are Your works,
And my soul knows it very well.
My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth;
Your eyes have seen my unformed substance;
And in Your book were all written
The days that were ordained for me,
When as yet there was not one of them."

David's approach seems just a bit more "just and kind and humble." What do you, think?

In Christ, 
-Sam Caldwell

I think this is an excellent response. Thank you Sam. I may write another letter to the editor in response. If I do I will post it here. This is turning into a fun conversation and not only that but God has made it so that the secular newspaper is publishing that abortion is murder! God can use anyone to proclaim the truth. Even the newspaper!

With love in the Lord,
Virginia.
