When the President talks to God...

I usually don't talk about political issues on this blog or try to put out an agenda for anything. Today I'm going to talk about something very personal to me and my family.

It's July 26th 2008. It's the day I get married. But I'm not there. Nor is my wife, Ashley, matter of fact there is no wedding. She's on vacation with some friends visiting New York.

This is actually what could have happened. There are a lot of choices to make in life. There are literally thousands of choices one can make in a single day. When it comes down to it the choices we make not only effect ourselves but those around us.

In the fall of 1986, a 23 year old woman has gotten pregnant. This isn't her first pregnancy, it's actually her third in six years. My mom was faced with a choice that she had made before. The past two times she had been pregnant her mother had presented her with a choice. A way out if she wanted. Being young and having the support of her sisters and mother at the time, she had decided it was best to end the pregnancy. Now a few years later she was faced with the same dilemma. My father was a dead beat and a drug addict, and she herself had her own problems, but somehow, by Gods grace, she felt lead to have this child. And doing so she subsequently ended up getting her life together.

This story is painfully truthful. And it still haunts my family to this day. I just wanted to bring a sense of reality when it comes to the issue of being pro-choice or pro-life.

I know abortion is always a hot topic during an election year. Obama, is "pro-choice" who wants to try to decrease the number of abortions. McCain, is a "pro-life" candidate who says he will appoint conservative judges to the Supreme Court. Let's be honest both plans won't work to the fullest. I believe we need to look at changing a woman's heart then changing the law to be effective. The only way to do this is the Christ's love. When voting in November please pray and ask God that his will be done in this election and to vote how you feel you feel lead. I believe that life does begin at conception and we are called by God. What the enemy has planned for evil, God can use for good. I hope that my life can be an example of God's amazing grace.

Time to Pretend...

So if you haven't heard of the band MGMT I highly recommend it. They can bend electro synth and trip hop so well. Yeah it's true. My friend James at work is leaving. Isn't it kind of sad when a co-worker leaves. You spend so much time with them (usually 40hrs a week) and it's like losing a friend. I've worked with James for about a year and half. He was my first real friend at The Home Depot here in Texas. We really don't have much in common, but we get a long real well. Also if you have yet to get registered for the upcoming election you should. I'm still completely not sure which chad I'm going to dimple, but I do know that my right will be exercised.
