I Take Calculated Risks

Every human that isn't born.... never becomes a child.

After writing yesterday’s post, wondered if I had crossed a line by sharing statistics I can not verify as 100% accurate. Then it hit me. Truly, the statistics are irrelevant. What if only one child was aborted per day, or per hour? No one could dispute that number.

What this really comes down to is when do we get to say it’s okay to snuff out a life?

I Feel Nauseous

These photos and captions are the prelude to today’s post. Please read carefully.

We could take the disposed fetus and toss it aside on some back road.
These guys are always hungry and clean up any roadside mess.

But when the Deacon shared these statistics, I became nauseous:

  • 39th anniversary of Roe vs Wade
  • 22% pregnancies end in abortion (1 in 5)
  • 47% have had more than one abortion (for real?)
  • each day 3,500+ abortions happen

Now, a day later, after Googling abortion statistics, I question the statistics validity. And then instantaneously think, “This isn’t about whether the statistics are accurate, it’s about whether taking away life from a living being seems morally acceptable”.

Fake it until you make it is another way of saying that our attitude shapes our thinking and our thinking shapes our actions. The single best way to improve our attitude is this: Force yourself to redirect incorrect or negative thoughts.

No one ever went blind by looking on the bright side of life.

When we expend energy honing our attitude, making healthy choices, devoting time to prayer and service, doing purposeful work and managing the paperwork of life, we experience an uncommon feeling of wholeness – balance.

This Is Very Similar To Which Came First, The Chicken Or The Egg?

Last month on a school field trip to St Augustine, Florida…

It doesn’t matter which came first. Nor does having your answer to the meaning of life need to be correct. Both are tough questions. One demands a ready answer.

And demands we use our hours, days, weeks, months, and even our years to fulfill it.

I’ve found the deeper I go, the longer I get to embrace Peace and Contentment. You will too.
