Abortion is the killing of an innocent infant in the womb of its mother. That is an incontrovertible fact. The growing child is not a disease to be cured nor a “tumor” to be excised. There is no biological doubt but that the fetus is a human person in development and for that reason pro-abortion supporters will not even argue the issue any more. The evidence is clear. If the developing embryo were not a human being in development, why would there be a need to kill it? Given enough time the child would exit the womb and enter the world, a crying boy or girl.

I have heard many complain, dissatisfied with our two candidates for the presidency. The commentators in the media will often ask, “What is wrong with our political system?” suggesting that it needs to be reorganized and improved.

There is nothing wrong with our system.  

The problem is us!

God is a giver of gifts! To many he appears insane in his generosity. I have come over the years to believe that, in nearly every situation in life God is attempting to give us a gift.

As the old year passes into the rearview mirror and the new one lies ahead it is a natural time for reflection. We review what has been and we look forward to tomorrow. Whatever has been, we cannot change. We can however make wiser choices in the New Year.

There is something magic about Christmas!

Each year as the season approaches it begins to cast its spell on our hearts. Perhaps it is that first Christmas carol we hear, the smell of fresh-cut pine, or smoke from a neighbor’s chimney. Or maybe it is the sight of holiday lights trimming a tree. Sometimes the aroma of holiday treats cooking in the kitchen, or the crisp air on a December evening brings us into the magic of the season.
