Permit the children to come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these (Luke 18:16).
Barbarism is the thinking and acting of barbarians. The simple, backwards and cruel ways of barbarians are the ways of radical Islam, but there is something worse than the barbarism of radical Islam and that is the cold-blooded sophistication of the Planned-Parenthood doctor. The recently released videos of the Planned Parenthood doctors, sipping wine, eating salad, discussing Lamborghini's all while negotiating the price of baby body parts are absolutely repulsive!!!
The justification of the use of baby body parts is medical research. It must be noted that Dr. Michelle Cretella, of the American College of Pediatricians, has pointed out that like embryonic stem cell research, fetal tissue research has failed to produce a single successful treatment for human disease. Adult stem cell research, however, has yielded treatments for 73 different diseases. Adult stem cells do not require the killing of innocent human life.
Democrats favor abortion at any time, virtually to the time of birth, all in the name of the woman's right to choose. Almost all of these baby body parts come from later-term abortions where baby has a beating heart and can feel pain. How is this different from the Nazi's medical experiments on Jews and gypsies? One can use medical research to justify the most horrible atrocities.
Worse, if the American public accepts this as business as usual, the self-destruction of America accelerates.

PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW 2
Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord ( 2Peter 1:2ff).
Make sure that your character is free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, "I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you," so that we confidently say, "The Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid. What will man do to me?" (Hebrews 13:5-6).
Yesterday I very briefly discussed the spiritual blessings with which a Christian is blessed--they are worthy of much more discussion! I asked the question, "How do these spiritual blessing help us make a living that will satisfy a nagging spouse and complaining children?"
Most likely one can never satisfy a nagging spouse and complaining children. In most households there is never enough money to satisfy every one's wants. This kind of household has a spiritual problem. It reduces life to the material, to the flesh. For Christians God has promised that He would never leave us or forsake us. Money is not the solution, God is. A nagging, complaining family needs a spiritual education.
As long as we live in bodies of flesh we will have material responsibilities. God has promised that He would be our helper. One thing we must remember is to ask God's blessing on the things that we have--food is more nutritious with God's blessing, cars last longer with God's blessing and regular maintenance, clothing is more durable and attractive with God's blessing.
If we ask God's blessing on our labors we know that they will be done better than otherwise, and we will be more productive. Asking God's blessing on our lives and labors assures us of His Grace & Peace. Isn't Grace and Peace the foundation of a more productive life?
Our Father's Blessings,
Tom

PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW!
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ (Ephesians 1:3; Read through verse 14).
Praise is due to the One who has blessed us with all good things! First and foremost among those good things are the spiritual blessings we have in Christ. In Christ we are God's chosen to be holy and blameless. In Christ it was predestined that we would be adopted as sons of God. In Christ we are redeemed, our trespasses being paid for, and we are forgiven. We know the mystery of God's will in that all things are summed up in Christ. In Christ we are not like orphans, we have an inheritance of hope and the Holy Spirit, who is the pledge of that inheritance.
You might say, "Yes, we have all these spiritual blessings, but how does that help me to put a roof over my head and buy groceries for my family?" We will discuss that tomorrow.
Grace & Peace,
Tom
