RIGHTS OF THE UNBORN As you read this blog be fully aware I am writing this from a layman’s view of the law and the Constitution of the United States of America basically it is in part my views and common sense…let us begin. The case of Roe V. Wade began in 1971 with the final decision coming in 1973 (43 years old). In this time, we have an estimated 1000 pro-life groups presumably fighting against abortion in one way or another prayer, service, marching and the like. These groups and small satellite groups keep the abortion issue at the fore front never letting the issue die. These selfless men and women are to be commended for their dedication and service. Any lawyer, politician ETC. who states the Unborn has no constitutional rights is correct that is why they can be aborted per the law. The mother who has all the constitutional rights is protected under the law. What she seeks under the law such as this is my body, my right, my decision cannot go abated fo...

DAYS GONE BY I am a baby boomer and my post war childhood was free, playful, and full of love.   My biggest decisions rested mostly on playtime and what’s there to eat.   My family of five consisted of my parents, me (the oldest) and two brothers.   My paternal grandparents lived on our three acre farm in a small home of their own.   My father worked two jobs, my grandpa took care of the farm, including chickens, a calf, Sam the lamb, two hunting beagles, a few goats and a huge garden.  My grandmother (in picture with me) and mom sold roasting chickens, eggs and preserved the produce from the garden for winter consumption. Life was simple! My childhood was worry free therefore, I was afford such carefree times of snowy winters of building snowmen, snowball fights and a host of activities the imagination of a child to produce soaked wet clothes, red face and runny nose. Summer’s allowed us children to run in the rain on a hot summer day with un...

What is seen in the reflection of the eye of an abused child is it’s ABUSER. A child does not see the innocence of their station in life but only pain and horror. It is horrible enough the abuse coming from an outsider but the crushing blow to the heart and spirit of a child is when the act comes from a parent or sibling. We at WE A SERVANT OF CHRIST MISSION see and are told from the children who come to the mission about beatings received mostly by the fathers for one reason or another. The children use the word beating and the age of the child holds no merit. I witness two days ago a 20 year old woman being hit by her father and mother before going to work and the another night a child being hit on the head by her father. Last night some of the children gathered at the mission and among them were a 9 year old child who comes sporadically since her father made it known not directly to the mission but to the neighborhood and the child of his discontent. However, he does give...

There is much to understand about the plight of the suffering child.   It is only when we can feel and understand the depth of their suffering then and only then can we pray with a heart of compassion to Our Lord and seek to be aware of every child and their suffering.   These children do NOT need our superficial pity “the ah poor thing if you will.”  Our pray should supersede “Lord help them.”   In Our Lord’s mercy we seek for them is to dig deep within ourselves and show mercy.  We must be prepared to do something tangible starting in our own homes and branching out to family, friends, acquaintance and stranger.  We cannot SAVE every child on a grand scale by ourselves but collectively we can make a difference, which will work.  It is my hope in this series of Blogs on this very subject broken down I hope to convey the suffering child.  It is my hope to make us understand that not every child knows about our Lord or that He even ex...
