Just Plain Old Rebellious

I remember when I was a little girl, I seemed to flock towards trying my parents to see what I could get away with. This was inspite of the fact that I never got away with anything. I remember trying to swat a fly with a blue plastic bat and I broke the screen on the front porch. The hole was big and I nearly peed in my pants. After fleeing the scene of the crime and gaining my composure, I returned home only to see that all my siblings were lined up and were being interrogated. No one knew what happened and no one would confess to the crime. I held my peace. We all were put on punishment and everyone was mad at each other. After a few days, I realized that my buddy, Terry, had moved away the same day that the screen had been broken. So, I went to my father and told him that Terry did it and that he threatened to beat me up if I told on him. I got in trouble again for not telling the truth. Of course, you know my older sisters beat me up. I hid this lie in my heart for 20 years and it was killing me. I finally called my mother and father and told them what had happened and it was the biggest relief off of my chest. My father threatened to give me a spanking at 28 years of age. I laughed so hard. I don't do well with being sneaky or dishonest. I am punished when I do wrong or make bad decisions. I never get away with anything.

I say this to say that it is the same thing with this country. According to the Associated Press in Washington, D.C, there is a hidden mandate in the abortion bill that may allow the use of taxpayers funds to end pregnancies. What in the world? Did someone not think that we would find out? Why was this not publicly announced so that we could protest? I try to put myself in the shoes of women all over this world. Stuff happens and we all make decisions today that we thoroughly regret later on. The world seems like it is going to end when we are in the moment, but years later, we thank God that we did not carry out with the original decision that we had made. But, I think that it is like hiring a hit man when you use federal money to fund killing babies. I don't want that blood on my hands. I believe that if you want to kill your baby, you need to pay for it out of your own pocket. I don't advocate killing babies. I have two precious children and I value their lives. What would I do if I did not have them? I don't have much political sense. So, if anyone out there knows what I can do to voice my opinion and who I should voice it to, please comment.

It seems like this USA is becoming very obviously rebellious. Whatever is good is now bad. What ever was bad or wrong, is now good. We have had Hurricane Katrina and all her relatives hit us. We have had planes destroy the World Trade Center. Tornadoes are taking out peoples homes in places that are unusual. Crazy things are going on and this country is sleeping not knowing that it is a wake up call. The bible says that rebellion is as the sin of witch craft. I pray for God's mercy and grace. Be blessed!
