Over the last few days I have read numerous accounts concerning the untimely and very sad death of Heath Ledger, and when I heard of his death, my first concern, is did he know the Lord? I hope he did, and I pray for the family and friends that are now left behind to mourn his death. It is very very sad and considering he was so young, it is even more grievous.

But then I started to read coverage on some blogs concerning the really sad and extremely inappropriate and unprofessional comments of Fox News anchor John Gibson and thought to myself - let’s just add sorrow upon sorrow.

But here’s what really gets me. Understandably, the homosexuals who blog are writing about Gibson’s remarks, but what bothers me is the blatant hypocrisy of these writers because these are the same people who either a) wrote nasty things about the death of Jerry Falwell and/or Dr. D. James Kennedy, or b) allowed their readers to leave extremely vicious and hateful comments way worse than anything John Gibson has done.

The hypocrisy is amazing to me. And it needs to stop.

Death is never a laughing matter and everyone at some point will experience the loss of a loved one. And to mock, ridicule, or just flat out disregard the feelings of those left behind is sinful and is a stench from the depths of the wicked human heart.

If you are a Huck supporter, then you realize what a great endorsement this is from Duncan Hunter. I was thrilled because when I met Representative Hunter last September at the Values Voter Debate, I had the opportunity to talk to him and tell him that he’d be a great Vice President to Huck. We’ll see about that later, but consider this for now…

Those who like Duncan Hunter, like him because he’s strong on the borders. Something that the opponents of Huck like to say Huck is weak on. This proves those people don’t know what they are talking about.

About two weeks ago I decided to go to a eye clinic and get my eyes examined. To be honest, it wasn’t something I was excited to do, after all I’ve been wearing glasses since I was ten years old and here I am now almost forty, so I’ve been there before. Every few years having to go through the exam, then picking out frames and deciding if I want to also get sunglasses. But I decided to go to this doctor because two years ago my husband had LASIK on his eyes and I’ve seen him recover and everything is great for him.

So I went and the place was packed at 8 AM on a Friday morning, with around 40 people in the waiting room. First they had a video of testimonials playing (so they could brainwash you while waiting) and then eventually they put in some old episodes of the Johnny Carson Show, which I found very interesting and politically incorrect these days.

Anyway, after about four hours in this clinic, my eyes were cleared and okayed for surgery if I wanted it. So on the spur of the moment I said “Sure, why not…cut my eyes open, use a laser and burn away”. Which brings me to the reason for this post….

It’s been about two weeks now and I’m seeing very well. My night vision isn’t the greatest yet, but it’s very very cool to wake up in the morning and actually see. It’s a miracle, and all of us who had the surgery, know exactly how much of a miracle it is. I am still amazed…and yet yesterday I was on the Answers in Genesis website and I viewed their short video on the eyes. Click here to see the video (be sure to scroll down and you’ll see the one on the eye) and then thank God for creating you with vision to see. It’s amazing.

Remembering all the lost babies today, and praying for the wounds of the mothers and fathers left behind and thanking God for bringing good out of every situation.

How much do you know about Roe V. Wade - Go to www.roeiqtest.com

1/21/2008 - Concerned Women for America

Washington, D.C. — 35 years ago, on January 22, 1973, the United States Supreme Court handed down one of the most controversial rulings in history, Roe v. Wade. For the most part, support for the decision is surrounded by a lack of knowledge. Much of the public is unaware of the details of Roe.

Concerned Women for America (CWA) along with Focus on the Family, The Alliance Defense Fund and the Family Research Council, created the Roe IQ Test to see how familiar the average American is with the details of this controversial ruling.

The outcome: America flunked. With the average score resulting in 7 out of 12 correct answers, America scored a failing grade of 59%. When individuals learn of the specifics of Roe, the support to overturn the ruling increases.

CWA speakers are available to discuss the Roe IQ Test, as well as the March for Life and current lobbying efforts by CWA for federal legislation.

Wendy Wright, President of Concerned Women for America said “The assumption that most people support Roe is not only flawed but flat out wrong. When people learn the details of Roe, their support declines.” Wendy has been a pro-life activist for over 15 years and involved in many U.S. Supreme Court cases involving abortion and free speech. She is a recognized leader in the pro-life movement.

Dr. Janice Crouse, Director and Senior Fellow of Concerned Women for America’s Beverly LaHaye Institute, can discuss research and data analysis on current abortion trends.

Matt Barber, Policy Director for Cultural Issues, provides a personal account of how abortion affects men. “Abortion doesn’t only hurt women and kill children; it can also deeply wound the men it touches. I’m sad to say that I know this from personal experience. Along with the realization that a woman has chosen to end the life you helped to create, comes a profound sense of loss and guilt. I can’t know for sure, but I sometimes imagine my first child was a girl. Today she would have been about 22 years-old, finishing college, I suspect, ready to take on the world. Perhaps I’d be walking her down the aisle soon. I can’t know. I’ll never know. Only God knows. My child was torn from this world before anyone could know.”
