The truth as I know it:

We witness a miracle every time a child enters into life. But those who make their journey home across time & miles, growing within the hearts of those who wait to love them, are carried on the wings of destiny and placed among us by God's very own hands. ~~~ Kristi Larson

What's wrong with this picture?

I am saddened to hear that someone shot Dr. George Tiller (known as Tiller the Baby Killer.) He was shot down in church. Ifind this so hard to believe...first of all, I don't understand how someone who attends church can also perform over 60,000 abortions in his lifetime, but I also don't understand what makes someone walk into a church with a gun and take a life. I don't understand what makes the shooter feel that he is any different than the doctor in the first place.

I'm saddened because it also gives a bad name to pro-life advocates. This is exactly what the pro-life movement DIDN'T need and I'm ashamed that there are people associated with something I am passionate about who don't respect life.

But what saddens me the absolute most about this entire situation? Really, it's that reportedly, Dr. Tiller had killed over 60,000 babies in his lifetime. He took the life of 250 babies who were beyond 21 weeks into their pregnancy just last year. And guess what, he made over $1,000,000 last year for his efforts.

What's wrong with a world where killing babies makes you a millionaire and saving them makes you poor? What's wrong with a world where the Dr. Tillers of the world get rich while Katie Davis has to beg for money to feed children who are already here? Satan is a total JERK!

O - I have to admit that your last sentence made me chuckle a little but how true this entire post is. You & I share similar feelings about this. Very sad situation no matter how you look at it.

Hugs,

This is Michelle's husband. I decided to start a blog too! Between Michelle and I we may actually provide somewhat regular updates (depending on who feels like blogging that week/month). Check out my blog when you get a second http://russianprincessmakes6.blogspot.com/

I am a rank amateur next to you and Michelle though!

By the way we are moving into the house in South Florida today! So once we get it cleaned up there is always a spot for you guys if you want to visit.
