Gusto for Goldilocks

“We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.  - Declaration of Independence

A big mistake among people of faith, that people can think; that they have something to think with a brain-heart.  We are really parents to ourselves, because we make ourselves who we are.  We can't live in a community where we treat people like objects.  Do you agree with Bill O'Reilly when he said, there is nothing wrong with a little lust?  More money is spent in this nation on pornography than is taken in by all television networks and all sports teams combined.  Face it, pornography leads to sex crime.  If it were not for the threat of rape and ravaging involved in sex, Goldilocks' house would have no doors or locks.  In Heaven, there will be no doors or locks on anything.  The great actress, Betty Davis, said, "Sex is the biggest joke God played on mankind."  No, it is not a joke; it is not a source for sensual-Satanic acts.  Sex was intended to be intimate and a message of beauty. 

The sexual act is the beginning of life, the female egg fertilized by the male sperm.  But, life begins long before sex, in the council chambers of eternity; your life was designed by God.  Every life was designed by God.  "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you.." (Jeremiah 1:5)  God always gives more never less.  Only in glory will we realize His love for His children, only there will we really know a mother's love for her children.  Actions are often a result of bad ideas.  Is an embryo really a child?  How many months of gestation before an embryo becomes a child?  We have pictures of warfare, the horrors of killing in war, but never pictures of the killing in an abortion. 

In another article, I have described my observation of an abortion, the first abortion I ever saw performed and it was in an Army hospital.  I had just arrived as a staff member at the Army Hospital, Fort McClellan, Alabama.  The duty officers would hang around the hospital BOQ while they awaited calls where they were needed.  One surgeon, David (it so happens that David and I were born on the very same day), asked me if I wanted to go to surgery to witness a procedure he was about to do.  I had no idea that it was an abortion.  I learned later that the OB-GYN medical officer who was assisting him was the father of five children.  I was in scrubs like the others, totally ignorant about what they were doing.  AND THEN, I saw them taking out baby parts-little feet-little arms, a crushed once alive baby.  I left the room and told both of them to never mention that incident to me again.  I had seen a cesarean delivery, had assisted in other deliveries, but to this day cannot conceive of any doctor killing a baby within a mother. 

I have never met an individual who wished they had been aborted.  In spite of the heartache involved; I have never met a mother who wished she had aborted her child.  There is exponential increase in joy...joy heaped upon joy every year, with mothers as they enjoy their children.  But, I must add to this, that joy in the hope of Jesus Christ brings joy to everything else in life.  It is never lawful to do evil when some good might come of it.  Basic intelligence, even to people of little faith, there must always be certain limits.  I cringe when I hear about love of pets, turtle hospitals, even, the maturing of human body parts in the bodies of hogs. 

And, to think, that 59 million precious babies have been murdered in the holocaust of abortion since the Supreme Court decision of 1973.  Just to think, that 72% of all black babies are aborted (in USA 3000 abortions each day, 1500 are black babies), precious black children who could contribute so much to this world.  So many young people die young, that's God's business, Mozart died at 37: FDR became a victim of infantile paralysis at age 39: nearly 2,000 young children will die of cancer in America this year.  The age old question, why do bad things happen to good people, when God is love?  A better question, why do good things happen to bad people, when God is just?  The answer is GOD IS BOSS, HE IS IN CHARGE, WE ARE TO TRUST HIM.  Does any of this killing of babies make any sense whatsoever? 

Man is God's chief creation, his brain design a matter which no scientist has ever been able to understand.  Just think of one organ, the heart, capable of pumping blood through vessels, for 2,000 miles, minute after minute, year after year.  And, think how human beings, who have the intelligence to protect their bodies, abuse not only their heart but everything else.  Every organ, every tissue of the human body valuable, a brain dead human body will sell for as much as one million dollars.  Taking the parts, especially the liver and heart, just as quickly as death is determined...transplanted into another human being, extending life to another.  When this doctor, world traveler, was in a hospital in Chin Yang, Manchuria Communist China (I had some vision at that time), I saw in the surgery theatre live prisoners opened, their body parts being taken and transplanted to other sick non-prisoner citizens and, the greatest exhibit of it all everything done with acupuncture.  The patient receiving the transplanted organs smiling, the prisoners strapped to the table, eyes, and mouths, covered with tape...another image I want to forget. 

Great writer, Ernest Hemingway, said, "Truth has a certain ring to it."  This writer was one of the first Americans into Communist China after it reopened, a plane load of doctors and lawyers sent over by President Nixon.  I came back and wrote about body parts taken from prisoners, child slavery in factories.  Noone wanted to hear it.  Truth is truth whether anyone believes it or not...you can discern truth when you hear it from the political podium or the church pulpit.  I get so tired of milk-toast preachers, politically correct politicians. 

I sleep on a very old four poster bed, it is the first furniture image I have in my mind.  My grandparents, my parents slept on this bed.  In a time of same sex marriage, killing of babies, this bed gives me a gravitas of morality and integrity which I need in my life. 

Without fail, every time I have spoken about abortion at a church or anywhere else, someone will say, "Most children are not wanted."  I have five adopted cousins, a friend with two adopted daughters (from China) words cannot explain the joy these adopted children have brought to their parents.  ALL ABORTED BABIES WOULD BE ADOPTED AND GIVEN THE CHANCE OF LIFE.  One image I want to remember, a young man, interviewing me for a story and I asked about his home.  He said, "I was adopted, I know my parents wanted me."  In a world of great mountains, great oceans, the greatest creation of God, the human mind, ministry of the Holy Spirit of God, righteousness of Jesus, a direct relationship between man and God available in the human mind.
