An interesting point . . .

Our pastor made an interesting point in his sermon yesterday. He said that God has a plan while man has free will.

God's plan for us is always good while our free will could and often does lead us astray. In the matter of the unborn, there is always a reason a child is conceived because God doesn't create 'trash'. When man, using his free will, deliberately kills that unborn child, he changes God's plan for that baby and changes a bit of the course of the world.

Naturally, man can and does make good choices and his good choices can improve the future of the word from his small corner of it. Abortion, however, never makes a change for the good and a life is lost each time this 'freedom of choice' is made.

Remember to support the bishops' postcard campaign to send our message to the president. Also consider participating in the red letter campaign, too. If you can't find red envelopes in the stores, they can be ordered on-line. I found mine at Paperworks.

A Quote and no comment!

"Anybody who wants the presidency so much that he'll spend two years organizing and campaigning for it is not to be trusted with the office."
