Children are valuable. Priceless. Beautiful. Vivacious. Full of blessing, and bringing blessing, from the Lord on all who have them, raise them, love them, and nurture them. On Friday, June 24, 2022, the Supreme Court of the United States overturned a previous ruling that has now sent the issue of abortion back to each individual state. Many have promoted this as a “ban” on abortion, filling the airwaves with bloated propaganda and inciting greater anger among both sides of the issue. While this is a historic WIN for the sake of the unborn, it is the ideology of those who promote abortion that causes me to ask, “How did someone get to this point?” Is there a common denominator in this issue? I believe that there is, and that it has been hiding in plain sight all this time.

This blog will briefly examine the present-day disconnect over children and where it originated, as well as a word for women who have made the choice at some point in their life to abort their child.

The other morning, I found myself overwhelmed and at the same time feeling nothing. It was odd, but it was like everything was on “pause” around me and I had a quiet moment to just be. It was one of those moments where silence actually has the opportunity to speak. As I began thinking through the day and all of the responsibilities that lay before me I started asking the question “What do I really need today?” Hot on the heels of this thought was the temptation to complain, but I quickly interrupted that idea with the fact that complaining wasn’t going to help with the responsibilities of the day in any way. (If only I could remember that all the time!)

Then, a worthy thought came to the surface and I realized; what I needed to do was worship the Almighty God of the Universe, the King of kings, the Certain Foundation- Jesus Christ the Lord! But isn’t that the need of every human being every day? What is amazing about worship is that it cannot take place while complaining is present. The two are like oil and water. They have no common ground. If we will simply step into the waters of worship, we will find that it is always a better use of our minds and our mouths.
