That is coming up in a couple days and our church is planning to have a focus that I'm very excited about. Some of the folks in our church, including Erin and Karen, wanted to start a ministry caring for children who don't have families. This includes orphans oversees and here in America as well as foster kids. It's called Open Arms. So our focus for Sanctity of Life is Pro-Life for a Lifetime. I love that slogan. It's not just about being against abortion. It's about caring for all life.
I feel like this really goes along so well with my thoughts on Pro-Life. I want to be Pro-Life for a Lifetime and Pro-Life for All Life. That's why I'm against the death penalty and most forms of war. That's why abortion is still a huge issue to me in politics. That's why I think being pro-life should mean that we strive towards helping those with diseases like AIDS and those in extreme poverty.
My views make it really hard for me politically because there is no political viewpoint like mine. Both Republicans and Democrats don't fall in line with this thinking. I believe we need change in the presidential office, but I don't necessarily buy into the change that Obama and Clinton are offering. I feel like the Republicans running aren't offering any real change. It feels status quo. Hmmmm....
What are your thoughts on this issue of Pro-Life?

This Doesn't Make Sense
Here's something I don't understand.
1. The Unites States through Lockheed Martin is selling 100 fighter jets to Turkey. This quote is from LA Times article about it - "The Turkish air force already has 215 F-16 fighter planes and plans to buy 100 of Lockheed Martin's new F-35 Joint Strike Fighter as well, in a deal estimated at $10.7 billion over the next 15 years."
2. I just read in The Week that two U.S. F-16 figher jets recently crossed into Turkish airspace while flying over Iraq. The Turks did not like this and their Prime Minister said, "We warned them not to repeat this. If this happens again, if this takes a different dimension, what we will do is obvious." He didn't say what "obvious" meant, but it is clearly a threat.
WHY WOULD WE SELL FIGHTER JETS TO A COUNTRY MAKING THREATS AGAINST US????????????
