Please pray for a cure for Type One Diabetes
Our sons Tom and Christopher and our daughter Amelia are type one diabetics. We pray everyday for a cure. We do not want one by illicit means though so don't support any organisation that contributes to Embryonic Stem Cell Research. Click on the photo of Tom and Christopher to read about why I am against using Embryonic Stem cells for a cure.

New book: Faith Quilt.
All proceeds from sales of "FAITH QUILT" going to "Casa de Amor Children's Homes in Bolivia" and "Sarah's Covenant Homes in India" Two truly extraordinary organisations that take in the most needy children and give them a place of love and security to call home.

I saw this trailer a while back. I think it is very important that people see this. Thanks for posting!
The thing I think is most powerful is that it’s not just that we’re not having as many kids, that is just a function of the attitude shifts that made self bigger than serve. Families are a pain, kids cry, break bones, whine, fight, cost money. Why have kids when I can go have any of the wiley temptations and false gods of glory?
This trailer reminds me of Libertarian Jane Galt’s post on the consequences of gay marriage. She doesn’t come out for or against it, but basically points out that people have no idea what they’re doing when they fiddle with societal standards and ethical mores.
“My only request is that people try to be a leeetle more humble about their ability to imagine the subtle results of big policy changes. The argument that gay marriage will not change the institution of marriage because you can’t imagine it changing your personal reaction is pretty arrogant. It imagines, first of all, that your behavior is a guide for the behavior of everyone else in society, when in fact, as you may have noticed, all sorts of different people react to all sorts of different things in all sorts of different ways, which is why we have to have elections and stuff. And second, the unwavering belief that the only reason that marriage, always and everywhere, is a male-female institution (I exclude rare ritual behaviors), is just some sort of bizarre historical coincidence, and that you know better, needs examining. If you think you know why marriage is male-female, and why that’s either outdated because of all the ways in which reproduction has lately changed, or was a bad reason to start with, then you are in a good place to advocate reform. If you think that marriage is just that way because our ancestors were all a bunch of repressed bastards with dark Freudian complexes that made them homophobic bigots, I’m a little leery of letting you muck around with it.”
It’s an excellent post, and here it is happening, just like she said. I hadn’t thought of it applying to this before, thanks.

Wow, so true Therese!
Might have to download that trailer.
Beetlebabee, that is a great quote. Thanks for posting it.
Therese, the people who go on about climate change should stop worrying about that if the Demographic Winter forecast is true.
Great post. Someone should put it on TV. Would have been perfect here in California during the campaign.
