She and I both would be pleased to receive any comments or reactions, and even more pleased if anybody would see fit to give it further circulation in any venue: Church or community publications social-network sites or your own family and friends.
And go ahead and include her name. She says, "My word is who I am."
Very true. More people need to know they will die someday.
Please thank Melinda for a well written and thoughtful essay.
Her wonderful homily at the end is inspiring.
God bless.
Here is exhibit A:
The Population Bomb was a best-selling book written by Paul R. Ehrlich in 1968. It warned of the mass starvation of humans in 1970's and 1980s due to overpopulation and advocated immediate action to limit population growth. The book also popularized the previously coined term, population bomb.
Early editions of The Population Bomb began with the statement:
The battle to feed all of humanity is over. In the 1970s and 1980s hundreds of millions of people will starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now. At this late date nothing can prevent a substantial increase in the world death rate.
Unintended consequence....I don't think so.
Global warming bump...
one time off topic use of Honduras list - My sister wrote this.
I agree with these comments. I would also like to mention one more thing.
Over the last thirty years, we have seen something in the neighborhood of 40 million little human lives snuffed out. The vast majority of these children, would have been born black.
Why is it that I, an older white male, seem to be more concerned about this than any Black person I have ever heard address the issue of abortion on demand?
Slavery is decried constantly. Those specifically against the Black related genocidal aspects of abortion have a very small voice, myself and yes a few others I have seen address it over the decades.
Blacks have been overcome by Hispanics as the largest segment of minorities in our nation. Do we hear Jessie, Al, Harry, Nancy, and the other libtards lament this? No. Why not?
One’s mind can be forgiven for looking back to the 40s and 50s, and who stood in the way of civil rights for Blacks. It wasn’t Republicans. Is this a carry over of the same antics against Blacks back then?
It’s a question I don’t have an answer for. The possibility does trouble me considerably.
Republicans want the genocide to stop. They will be lucky to get 5% of the Black vote in the next general election.
Food for thought?
The leftish propensity to magnify or invent ecological problems, is a manifestation of the rebellion against God and His moral laws. By doing so one may ignore or justify personal iniquity (and we can do so likewise), as in making discarding a flip top criminal, while traditional personal morality is minimized or justified.
In addition, the liberal sees everyone who is incarcerated or poor as victims (unless of course they are conservative political prisoners) who are to be given wealth so as to be made equally rich as those are who have material wealth due to hard work, unless of course, said poor ppl insist upon working their way up by honest. These are marginalized, as are true commie type tyrants who oppress the poor (Kim Jung 2, Mugabe, etc.)
This “victims mentality” is fostered (and which began in Gen. 3:1-5), and such are encouraged to rebel against moral authority, while ecological issues become a religious cause, all in order to justify and build an alternative world in which Biblical morality does not exist, an Eden without God, a “workers paradise”. But which ends up being more like Hell than Heaven, as it is built upon resentment and envy, and anger against God and truth (which truth builds happy societies), and lust for power, pleasure, possessions - lusts which are implacable for long - and so they become more oppressive and harmful than even wrong landowners they once rebelled against were.
And even worse, having been deceived by the devil, who is the original envious rebel against moral authority, they miss (and could not enjoy anyway) the paradise which was benevolently purchased by Someone else, that of the Son of the God, thru His sinless shed blood!
He who needs nothing (Acts 17:25), but “spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?” (Rom 8:32) May I give Him glory, now and forever.
I saw it coming in the ‘anti war’ protests and I saw it coming in the Berkley riots and now these animals are teaching our children and grand children from preschool through post grad school this anti God blather.
We continue to Pray every Sunday for your Ben and his military comrades...
Spot on and eloquent. Considering the timeframe, she also witnessed the first earth day celebration of Lenin’s birthday.
I’d like to put that on my profile page.
Thank you. I can attest to all.....this is true.
The professors and the politicians and protesters and the media all lied.
Some believed them and followed their advice, to their detriment.
God’s way through Christ Jesus, John 14:6, “He said I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one comes to the Father except through Him.”
And this is the only way to live in peace and tranquility in your own soul, on this earth.
God has everything under control and not one event/thing/person and/or government will keep Him from carrying out His Sovereign plan!
And that plan includes, saving His own children from being without Him and dying eternally in hell fire!
Hallelujah! All praise to Him!
HIP, HIP HOOOORAY.
HOWEVER, I believe she must have a book in her along those lines—at least a lengthy article. This was just a teaser.
I think she should let her rip at length.
Please tell her so.
Absolutely Beautiful!!
