Today We're Sharing

I didn't start this blog as a place to journal or talk about myself and my life. This blog's purpose is to write meaningful - even inspiring, if I do say so myself - articles that have at least two quotable sentences in each paragraph (because, considering how the world is going, I believe eventually everyone will be famous enough to be quoted by someone).

However, today I am going to share a little of my journey through life; just a snippet, a single moment in time as I grow and mature spiritually. Today's spiritual pit stop was... instructive, I suppose. I think it should be shared, passed on to others.

So here goes. After you finish reading this, go to this webpage:

http://www.bibleprobe.com/abortion.htm

If the pictures about a fourth of the way down the page don't make you burst into tears or have some other violent emotional reaction, YOU HAVE NO SOUL.

For the past year or so I've become increasingly detached from reality and I had thought I was becoming a psychopath (that word doesn't mean what you think it means; look it up). I was seriously beginning to doubt if any part of my soul was left, and if it was, is God going to save it. (I still think the answer to that may be a big fat no, but at least I've got a brighter hope now than I did before.)

Today I did a google search trying to find the latest statistics on how many abortions happen per day, and I found that website. I guess God wanted to reassure me that I still could experience emotion, because I looked at those pictures in shock for a few seconds, whispering a phrase generally used as blasphemy, but I think I meant it more in the sense of literally saying "Oh my God." There wasn't much else to say. Then I exploded into tears like I haven't since... well, probably since I was a baby myself.

There's a warning above the pictures that says some people may not want to look at them because it might make them sick. Good! If you're human, you should get sick over this. Look at those pictures. I don't care if a kitten posed holding a fake gun is all it takes to give you a heart attack. Sensitive as a sweet old lady in Victorian England or with a heart hard and cold as a stone, you need to see these pictures of the reality of abortion. You can't hide from the truth. The truth always hurts, but you can't get away from it. Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you sick to your stomach, weep uncontrollably, and give you the most painful freedom you've ever had, but for Christ's sake you will be free.

Now do something with that freedom.

Quote me, re-post the whole article, shave your head, wave signs, shoot an abortion doctor (Um, don't actually do that. We're pro-life here, remember? Not pro-shooting-victims-who-have-lived-longer-than-some-other-victims). I don't care what you do, but do something. Doing something means freedom, apathy means slavery to the way things are.
