Hi, Heather.

No, I did not see that post and do NOT agree with her views as posted. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. I would like to formally state that I firmly believe that the Bible is very clear that life starts at conception (Psalm 139) and that murder is a sin. Abortion IS murder and, although I do recognize that some Christians behave as haters towards those who commit abortion (very contrary to how Christ addressed sin), the greatest majority of Christians who counsel mothers against abortion do it out of love for God and life and without condemnation.

Thank you again for your participation and comment.

Blessings,

I was wondering … did you read #23 (the “Lifenotes” one) in the link-up list? I don’t know if it matters to you, but she is criticizing Christian Crisis Pregnancy Centers for tricking women into keeping their babies instead of giving them all their “reproductive health-care options”. She says she’s not advocating abortion, but she really is defending it. She uses “love others” as a way of basically saying that we shouldn’t add additional burden to an already-stressed woman by trying to convince her to keep her baby. She says “love others” is the greatest commandment. It’s not. It’s “love God.” Anyway, I don’t know if you disagree or agree with her, but I’m letting you know about this in case you didn’t want this post linked to your blog. Blessings to you!

Katie, a sentence in your interview really struck a chord with me so much so that I wrote it in my journal and put an asterisk alongside it. I quote: “Let’s stop buying into the lie that correction equals rejection.” Wow! How true but I had never connected the dots before. Thank you for this insight. I look forward to reading your book, maybe even a free copy. 🙂

I really relate to your last paragraph above Katie, I took on the responsibility of others far too much… above & beyond what was within the boundaries that was God’s will for me to take on…of patients, of family, of friends, of church, of ministry…..I have now learnt, through chronic ill health, to be Mary…. sitting at the feet of Jesus, trusting Him….

You’re most welcome to drop by for a cuppa,
Jennifer
