The Lord is a shelter for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. Those who know your name trust in you, for you, O Lord, have never abandoned anyone who searches for you.
Psalm 9:9-10

“I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look for me in earnest, you will find me when you seek me. I will be found by you,” says the Lord.
Jeremiah 29:11-14

We have a great High Priest who has gone to heaven, Jesus the Son of God. Let us cling to him and never stop trusting him. This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same temptations we do, yet he did not sin. So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it.
Hebrews 4:14-16

A federal judge has ruled that South Dakota abortion doctors must tell pregnant women the procedure terminates the life of a human being.

U.S. District Judge Karen Schreier ruled Thursday on a lawsuit filed by Planned Parenthood Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota after an informed consent law passed in 2005 requiring several disclosures to women seeking an abortion.

She says though doctors must make the human being disclosure, the term can be used in a biological sense.

Schreier ruled against the state and a pregnancy counseling center by concluding that pregnant women do not need to be told abortion increases the likelihood of suicide or that they have an existing relationship with the fetus.

Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.

I’ve been watching all the outrage over health care.  Do you think it was right of President Obama to “stage” a fake debate yesterday? 

I thought of this word, when I reached for my bowl this morning.  I will dig through all the bowls to get the blue one.  We have 2 blue one, but I have to have the blue one inside and out. 

What’s your quirky habits?
