One Final Word
My dear friend Michele slipped into eternity on Wednesday, February 1. She was a remarkable woman who left a legacy of faith, determination, and love. For three years she courageously battled the ovarian cancer that eventually robbed her of her life. A few days before she died, one of her docto

The rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated
My husband told me that there are rumors that I've died. I'm happy to report that I'm still very much alive. My cancer has gone to stage four but we are controlling it with chemo, the cancer numbers are currently in the normal range. I've stopped blogging to concentrate on my daughters and writing a

An update and a prayer request
Several people have asked about Michele's condition, and have promised to pray for her. On her behalf, I thank you for that. I spoke with her a little while ago, and she asked that I come here and tell you what's going on, and to ask you to pray for her. She isn't able to post here herself right

The peace that passes all understanding, pt. 1
I'm coming out of my normal hiding place to make a few comments.
The internet is a strange place. It is often a wonderful place, a helpful place, a unifying place. But it is also alienating, cold, and is the perfect medium in which to depersonalize others.
Through it, I have seen people reach out

My daughter, you know, was born at home on Christmas morning. Unplanned. And she was admitted because of complications but, you know, they needed my bed in recovery, being understaffed during the holidays, and they told me I was free to go home that day.
So even if it isn’t chronic here, it happens. Anybody would tell you to avoid the hospital during Christmas and New Years, if you can help it. Caveat emptor.

I know plenty of women whose first significant contact with the medical community was when they gave birth, because they couldn’t access health care or free health care was too far away. We know babies are born underweight–and die more often–in the U.S. because of poor health care and failing to access health care. It’s much worse in the U.S. then in other comparable countries in Europe and Canada.

The World Health Organization ranks The British Health Care delivery system 18th in the industrialized world. The U.S. Health Care system is ranked 37th. Anyone can come up with individual stories of nightmare scenarios from both systems. Overall, statistics tell us, we have nothing to fear from reform.

Overall, we have everything to fear from “reform.” As we all know, President Obama has appointed death panels not only for the elderly but also for the unborn. As the “reform” plan unfolds, women judged likely to give birth to children best suited to serve the state will be allowed to have children. All others will be forced to abort. President Obama even announced this explicitly in a recent statement from Martha’s Vineyard. Why the world does not listen, I simply cannot understand.

I can’t tell if that last post was real or sarcasm.

MH,
It was neither. It is delusion, plain and simple.
“As we all know, President Obama has appointed death panels …”
We don’t all “know” that, Robert. It is a lie from the pit of Hades. And most of us (the thinking majority) do know that!
“Why the world does not listen, I simply cannot understand.”
Because most of us know false witness when we read it, that’s why.
1. Get a clue. Then,
2. Get a grip (on reality).
OR
3. Get help. (Seems you need it.)
