Out of school for the summer and bored out of my mind.. All I've done the past 3 weeks is sit around in my pjs watching Netflix, with the semi occasional going to work and making money, of course! But why didn't I think of this sooner? I should write on the Blog more often now that I have time! So here goes, folks!
If you haven't noticed, Kaitlyn and I are pretty big on pro-life stuff. A friend of mine knew that and he shared this link with me, https://soundcloud.com/eyesontheking/this-is-madness-the-american-holocaust. It's a song that Matthew Parker wrote about abortion. Though I haven't been listening to very much rap lately this really grabbed my attention because of it's powerful lyrics. This guy has the right idea, there's a line in the song that says "We call it a decision, a choice but it's a life! Little girl, little boy but now they are destroyed. Who will speak for those without a voice?" Like I said previously, powerful lyrics!
Just thought I would share that song with ya'll. The download is totally free! Whoop whoop! Yay for free music!

God Help Our Country..
While I was on Facebook, I came across a post one of my friends had shared. It was a news article talking about what may start being done to people in the military who share their religious views. I will add the link to this article at the bottom of this post.
In this article, it's said that "Christians-- including chaplains--sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ in the military are guilty of 'treason'." They go on to say how it is considered "spiritual rape" and that Christians in the military who share their faith are "enemies of the Constitution." This is ridiculous! "Spiritual rape?" Seriously?! This is upsetting on so many levels. It literally makes my stomach turn the more I think about it. What happened to freedom of speech? What ever happened to the separation of church and state? The idea that the church should be free from government control, not that religion and morality should be separate from public life; although many people now-a-days get it confused. And I may not be an expert or anything, but "enemies of the Constitution?" I'm pretty positive that our Founding Fathers, the men who WROTE that Constitution, had talked about God just a few times themselves...
Another thing - remember how it said it includes chaplains? Well, these are ordained military officers, whose very job is to teach their faith and help others spiritually who come to them for "counsel, instruction, or comfort." Sharing the gospel is their military duty! The article states how it has been this way since the U.S. military was founded under George Washington! Why are we going to punish these people for doing their job?? My final point (for now, anyways.) is that this is scary. When a man/woman can't even serve his/her own country and express their ideas of faith --any display of Christianity, even just praying in front of others-- without being thrown into jail or being "dishonorably discharged" from the military, it's pretty sad. I didn't realize that honoring the God who created the very earth and country these men and women are fighting for would be considered as bad as going AWAL. I honestly wonder what has happened to our freedom. Our country needs so much prayer...

I hope you all will join me in praying for this issue, and many others involving our country. Right now it's the military being persecuted, tomorrow it could be the rest of us. Scary thought, I know; but it honestly would not be surprising at this point. Reminds me of the story of Daniel. No matter what may come, I'd rather be thrown into a lion's den than stop praising my God.
