So the election is only days away... so many things scare me about it. I've had nightmares of Obama becoming president. And that is a horrible nightmare to me for so, so many reasons.
Here is just one of the many...
Most of this video is taken from clips from Fox News, or from the interviews done by Rick Warren at Saddleback church. The one statement that speaks louder than any to me though is Obama simply speaking to a crowd of people..."I've got 2 daughters, a 9-year-old and a 6-year-old. I'm going to teach them, first of all about values and morals, but, if they make a mistake, I don't want them punished with a baby."
Um...correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that simply a consequence for our actions? How long will we continue to fool ourselves into thinking that we can con our way out of them?
Let me state it bluntly: We have a God-given Free-will. We have the "choice" to have sex before marriage or not. Through that decision, we are also deciding what consequences we are willing to live with, both good and bad. If we choose sex before marriage, and we end up with an unwanted pregnancy, that is a consequence of our actions...like STDs or anything else...and now we can make a "choice" about what to do about it. Do we accept the consequences of our actions and choose life - and either raise the baby ourselves or give it up for adoption to someone who is more able? Or, do we choose to end that life that was made, simply to save face or "get rid of" our problems?
"Freedom of Choice" can be very misleading. That "choice" - that easy way out, has consequences of it's own. It doesn't bring Freedom. Don't listen to the lie that says that having an abortion will rid you of your troubles. That choice actually bounds you up in heavier shackles than the original consequence. It brings pain. it brings guilt. it brings shame. it brings the shedding of blood to the most innocent of the innocent. Having that on your shoulders doesn't exactly make the load any lighter.
We can't escape consequences for our actions. We will always have consequences, no matter how hard we try to escape them...or how elequently we try to talk our way out of them. But will America continue to hide? To not hold people accountable?
On the subject of punishment: When did babies become a form of punishment, rather than an Amazing Blessing? I sat next to an Italian Catholic priest on a plane not too long ago... he said he "came from a place and time where pregnancy is not a disease and children are not problems...they are Blessings."
What a sad, sad day in which we live...
