Sweetdove in the Wind: Roe from Roe vs. Wade is Now Pro-Life

She arises with the morning's brilliance.

Stillness and peace are her attendants.

Her steps are established by His counsel,

Directed by purposeful prayer and purity of intentions.

A purple shaw embraces her shoulders.

A preference for royalty fills her dreams,

As she seeks to serve the King and Kingdom.

She speaks the truth,

And the Lord's eyes watch over her ways.

The King is her protector, friend and counsel.

Those who love her enjoy the bounty of her labors.

They find peace in the gentleness of her tongue,

And take pleasure in her laughter.

Her desires are praiseworthy,

And her pursuits have the King's defense.

She sees the afflictions of the wounded,

And lends her arms to their comfort.

Her mercy mends,

And the needy find rest in her doorway.

A woman of substance,

A woman of chosen submission,

To a purpose both known, yet vastly mysterious.

She will be praised,

For her fear is in His hands.

She walks a path

That grows more familiar than her own features.

Her face shines as a mirrored reflection

From the King's loving gaze.

But most of all,

A King's daughter looks like

The King.

Feminists for Life in America is an organization that seeks real solutions to the challenges women face. Our efforts are shaped by the core feminist values of justice, nondiscrimination and nonviolence. Feminists for Life of America continues the tradition of early American feminists such as Susan B. Anthony, who opposed abortion. If you believe in the strength of women and the potential of every human life...join us in challenging the status quo...welcome to Feminists for Life. There is a better way.

Jim and Sheila believe the Christian faith should not only prepare people for eternity, but also enable them to live life more abundantly and responsibly here on earth. By fostering a love of learning and providing a strong moral foundation, children have a chance to rise above the poverty and ignorance that keep them from fulfilling their God-given potential. Their experience with the Charlotte Mason approach has convinced them of its ability to produce these results. With the entire curriculum packaged in one box, Education in a Box provides high-quality educational materials and proven teaching methods that are written in the native language of the people it serves.

True education is this - that every day the child has:

1) Someone to Love - through knowledge of their Creator by listening to the Holy Scriptures and Bible Stories, they may develop an intimate relationship with and love for God, who loved us first and love from mother through focused attention and affection.

2) Something to Do - worthwhile and meaningful work (both chores and academic), opportunities to create beautiful things through art or handicrafts, and imaginative play with open-ended toys.

3) Something to Think About - ideas that are true, noble, pure, right, lovely, admirable, excellent and praiseworthy, found in the books read, through nature which is God's artwork and through the atmosphere created by the music and pictures in the home.

Roe from Roe vs. Wade is Now Pro-Life

I just discovered something today that many of you may have known for years: Norma McCorvey- who was Roe from Roe vs. Wade, who won the right for women to have abortions on demand- is now Pro-Life, and spreading her message with zeal.

Here is her website: Roe No More Ministry

You Are The Wind

God, come and softly caress
When deep tears fill my eyes;
Touch me with tenderness
When the tears flow and I cry.
I sense your touch as a warm breeze, blowing through my dark night
And it brings me such a sweet release, to feel you by my side.

I'm standing under an open sky
With Heavens' windows open wide.
As flowers bow and trees dance,
I am part of this romance;
Your strong arms are lifting me higher
O God, this is my desire,
To lean as a bird leans on the wind
Knowing that your love gives me wings
And you are the wind.

I can not see Him but oh how I feel Him, and hear Him, and see what He does.
I am free to breathe the air blowing from your winds up above.

- by Esther Ruth

"In the mythic story The Return of the King, Eowyn, battle maiden...disguises herself as a man and rides to war...she rides beautifully, and she handles a sword with deadly skill...her uncle the king is attacked by the leader of the enemy's army, and as he swoops down to finish the king off, Eowyn steps in to block his path...in the battle that follows, the wraith...boasts of an ancient prophecy, proclaiming, 'No living man may hinder me!' And it is here that Eowyn is finally and fully victorious...'But no living man am I! You look upon a woman'...Eowyn removes her helmet and lets her hair fall free. She declares herself 'no man' and fighting as a woman, slays her enemy." (Captivating)

"Beauty is transcendent- it is our most immediate experience of the eternal. Sometimes the beauty is so deep it pierces us with longing for life as it was meant to be. Beauty reminds us of an Eden we have never known, but somehow know our hearts were created for. Beauty speaks of heaven to come, when all shall be beautiful. It haunts us with eternity. Beauty says: there is a glory calling to you. And if there is a glory, there is a source of glory. What great goodness could have possibly created this? What generosity gave us this to behold? Beauty draws us to God." (Captivating)

One autumn day, Rod and I went to a chocolate factory together. My hubby noticed me eyeing a basket of yummy chocolate leaves wrapped in a kaleidoscope of warm autumn colors. I wanted to purchase them, but we were short on cash. Well, somehow my dear husband bought them for me, without me knowing it, and surprised me.

One day, I came out of the bathroom to find a trail of the chocolate leaves leading me through the house. Now that was lovely, but it gets even better! My wonderful husband had put his time and thoughts into placing these chocolate leaves throughout the house! He hid them all over the place. As the days and weeks went by I would find a leaf in the mailbox, or between the dirty laundry, or in the silverware drawer, etc, etc....it was WONDERFUL! Every time I found a leaf, it made me smile, and reminded me that I was loved. It was a romantic gesture that continued to woo me as I went about my chores.
