From Desiring God blog:

When we help a young, unmarried mother in the midst of a pregnancy crisis save her baby, by God’s grace, the baby can save the mother.

The baby saves the mother out of a sinful sexual habit that was hollowing out her soul and self-esteem.
The baby saves her out of the entangling lies and stalking anxiety that attends premarital sex.
The baby saves her from blood-guilt.
The baby saves her out of a mechanized Christian walk and into a shaken-down and overflowing experience of biblical mercy.
The baby saves her out of a shallow, undirected faith and drives her to trust God for the forgiveness of her sins and for her daily bread.

And all this can be true for young fathers, too.

When pregnancy is a crisis, it is a crisis of faith. When we are there to encourage faith by honoring life, it is amazing how often it turns out that Christ is formed in them.

Man….I know this is true. How do I know? Because I have lived it…and I still am.

Something Worth Thinking About After Church « The Black Informant.

For Christians that are Pro-choice, Duane asks a good question:  How do you justify your views in light of Scripture? 

Take a moment to read the entire article.

and the school is working my nerves!

I don’t recall third grade being so much WORK. The boy has to read 3-4 books a month and do book reports on each one. That’s in addition to his spelling and math homework every day.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m all for kids getting a good education. School is the only job they have…but dang….do I have to be dragged along too? Let me add, the boy wants to join the Cub Scouts now, too.

now..the part where somebody is about to get told off:

My son packs his lunch most days, but some days he chooses the school lunch. That’s cool, but the only thing he can get to drink is milk. HE DOES NOT DRINK MILK. OF ANY KIND. Ever since 1st grade, he’s brought his own drink (usually a Capri Sun). This year, I get a note from the teacher talkin bout she’s been informed that he needs a MEDICAL EXCUSE in order to be able to drink his Capri Sun! DA PUFF?

It was Meet the Teacher night at the school today. I approached the Principal on this issue. She said that the state audits the school on the lunches, and got in trouble last year for having milk left over. I can understand that. I told her to let him take the milk, but not to tell him he can’t drink his juice. That’s what I’m concerned about. She asked if I could get a medical excuse. I told her: THIS IS NOT A MEDICAL ISSUE. MY SON DOES NOT DRINK MILK. PERIOD. I also told her that the fact that I’m his mother and I’ve notified the school as to MY wishes regarding what MY child eats should be ENOUGH. Anyhoo, she told me to send her a note tomorrow to remind her to speak to someone higher up about it.

I’m not mad at the teacher or the principal. I’m irritated with the state govt for thinking that they can dictate what goes in my son’s mouth, and that my directive is not enough…I gotta have a doctor excuse.

A doctor’s excuse? For JUICE?

GTPOH.

Somebody better fix it. QUICK.
