THIS IS THE AD THAT NBC WON’T ACCEPT FOR SUPER BOWL SUNDAY…....

As you can SEE FOR YOURSELF, they aren’t being honest about their reasons, either.

IN AN ERA WHERE HYPOCRISY IS RAMPANT, AND TOO OFTEN EXACTS NO PRICE…...THIS:

The governor of Alaska is living her principles, when she didn’t have to, and might have avoided it without anyone ever knowing…..today, that makes her a hero.

WHERE IS THE CHORUS OF “I TOLD YOU SO"s…...?

Back when the fight to legalize abortion was being fought - the fight that led to ROE V. WADE - we heard all kinds of warnings about where our society would end up if we adopted a view of human life that allows the killing of unborn children. People who issued these warnings were called all sorts of negative things—inflammatory, fundamentalist, dogmatic, etc. Those who favored “abortion rights” were adamant that there really was a difference between the unborn and those of us on the outside, and that the line between abortion and infanticide would NOT be crossed.

Think again…..

MY HERO FOR THIS WEEK…...

We’re spending a week with my daughter and her husband in Lincoln, Nebraska—the real attraction is Sophia, the first granddaughter, of course. Watching my little girl care for her own babe brings a special kind of pride and admiration, and she’s gone through a lot for this baby.

But, tonight on WITTINGSHIRE.COM, I was directed to a story that took my breath away, for the quality of self-sacrificing love that it displayed.

We’d all go through a lot for our own children - give up things, put up with things, postpone things, even clean up things….. But, what about someone else’s child? What about a virtual stranger?

HOW DO YOU COPE WITH THE LOSS OF A CHILD…..?

As my grandfather used to tell me - when we were asking him what he would do in impossible situations - one simply has to pray that the Lord won’t ask us to go through such a thing, but if He does, that He’ll give us strength.

Now, there are people giving their time, their expertise, their love…..to help those facing this heartbreak through a parent’s worst nightmare.

Traditionally, doctors and nurses dealt with babies born with fatal anomalies by whisking them away from their mothers to die. But in the 1970s, a perinatal bereavement movement began offering parents another way to deal with the death of a child at birth, by acknowledging the grief they feel and by creating family and religious rituals around a stillbirth or early death.

Drawing on that philosophy, at least 40 perinatal hospice programs have been started in the United States in the last decade, said Amy Kuebelbeck, an author in St. Paul whose son Gabriel died of a heart condition hours after his birth in 1999 and who has researched the subject.

WHAT IF EVERYTHING YOU THOUGHT YOU KNEW ABOUT AIDS WAS WRONG?

Please don’t worry and get upset…..we’re just talking about information here.

The question in the title is actually the TITLE OF A BOOK by a young woman who tested HIV-positive almost 15 years ago, and has lived a normal and healthy life ever since, marrying and raising a family (all of whom are HIV-negative), while declining anti-HIV drugs. She also started a support group, ALIVE and WELL AIDS alternatives, for HIV-positive people who want to research what is known about the virus, about the effects of being diagnosed HIV-positive, about the dangers of the anti-HIV drugs, and about how to live normally while HIV-positive.

Now, there is a movie called The Other Side of AIDS

THE EURO-WEENIES MAKE IT PLAIN…...

....that it’s the government who will decide what your “rights” mean…..

Doesn’t the “European Court of Human Rights” sound grand…..? Doesn’t having a “court of human rights” make you feel a little safer - I mean, knowing that if your government was violating your human rights, you would have someplace of appeal where human rights would be upheld?

Silly you! “Human rights” are DEFINED, folks…..thank God that in the United States, our rights are recognized as “given”...pre-existing the State, and superior to it. Because when your rights are defined, the devil is in the definition. Not that there aren’t plenty of folk over here who would like (and are working to move) us to have the same kind of “rights” as they do in Europe - SO much more efficient, don’t you see? Save money and time, besides, just like in Europe.

So then, today we have a cautionary tale….poor LESLIE BURKE, an Englishman with a hereditary, progressive, neurological disease which at some point will prevent him from communicating, or swallowing, and eventually is going to kill him. Except that it won’t kill him, because…
