Today, Reuters has released an article on the mind blowing stats of the number of individuals that are infected with and possess the incurable disease of herpes in the United States.
"WASHINGTON, March 9 (Reuters) - About 16 percent of Americans between the ages of 14 and 49 are infected with genital herpes, making it one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases, U.S. health officials said on Tuesday.
Black women had the highest rate of infection at 48 percent and women were nearly twice likely as men to be infected, according to an analysis by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
About 21 percent of women were infected with genital herpes, compared to only 11.5 percent of men, while 39 percent of blacks were infected compared to about 12 percent for whites, the CDC said. "(to read the rest of the Reuters article)

The Deleterious Physical Effects of the Sin of Sodomy "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination" (Lv. 18:22). And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly [perverse and unnatural], and receiving in themselves [in their own bodies] that recompense [punishment] of their error which was meet [fitting]" (Rm 1:27). |

Legalizing or in any wise promoting a practice that is primarily responsible for the deaths of 16 million souls is not loving, but it is to compassionately seek to turn souls from destruction to new life in the gracious LORD Jesus!]

God bless you and your spouse too! Every time I am around single friends or people dating I just shake my head and realize just how lucky I am.
Thanks but nothing to really rejoice about is it? If quantifying the cost of our war against God helps to bring surrender to Jesus, then may the Lord’s will be done. Hope my site gets back up soon.
I think social liberals regardless of stripe are expensive. They give you all this attitude about how they will live their life as they want but more often than not they want us to fit the bill for it.
You are correct, sir!
Official Calls For Mandatory STD Testing Of Teens Starting In 8th Grade http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2467367/posts
Just got a phone call from a girl I have not seen in years who said she is going in to have an abortion tomorrow. She is an amputee (one leg) and not a strong Christian, or of strong will, and they told her the baby is not growing right at 8 weeks, and so the family made arraignments for the abortion. She said the father is one of two men in the rooming house where she lives. She had one before and is still tormented by it.
I pleaded with her, warned her, and tried to exhort her to say no, and put it in God’s hands, but she is resigned to having it. All i can do is pray now.
I will too!
We found out that we were having our 4th child in a time when things were very bad... We knew it was God’s will and He worked it all out. She is a beautiful girl, whitty, funny and has a wonderful heart for the Lord at her young age.. What if we pulled the switch?
God is the God of second chances may she trust in Him. Have faith in Almighty God..
She will have regret this the rest of her life as I know countless women who have.
Thank very much!
