Four generations
This year my family will attend the National Right to Life Convention in Dallas, my daughters will attend the Teens for Life Convention. They are the fourth generation of pro-life activists in my family. When I was ten, my mother and grandmother started a crisis pregnancy center in my hometown, a center they still run. […]

Terrible Tuesday: Switching Seasons
This week we have no end of year events. No Scouts or concerts or parties. It’s all done. So you know what that means, don’t you? Yes, Summer Softball and camp preparation begin in earnest. Sprite has four days of softball in a row, I have four hours of training for camp, and the kiddos all […]

Extending grace
I’ve recently read Eric Metaxes’ book Amazing Grace: William Wilberforce and the Heroic Campaign to End Slavery. I highly recommend it, even if there are sections that could really have used a meaner editor. (An example: “The king’s sanity would come and go over the next several years,but for now it was definitely back, and […]

On not ceding the legal battle
Last week, Amy Otto posted this interesting post on liberty and abortion at Pocket Full of Liberty. I agree with a great deal of it, but there is a pesky area of disagreement that keeps coming up between libertarians and pro-life activists: namely that legislation is the wrong approach. So I’ve got a response to […]

Futility
The right of self-determination is held dear by Texans. We believe in our bones that we ought to decide for ourselves how to live, where to live, and what to do with our lives. Unfortunately, Texans are denied self-determination in one very critical area. Under current health care policy, Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) orders on […]

Precious fight
Radiolab, if you aren’t familiar, “is a show about curiosity. Where sound illuminates ideas, and the boundaries blur between science, philosophy, and human experience.” Which, when translated, means a fascinating radio program that focuses mainly on scientific topics and how they relate to and affect people. It also translates science into language that non-scientists can […]

Texas Legislative Mini-Round Up UPDATED
The Texas legislature meets every other year for 140 days (in regular session, special sessions can also be called.) This limits the mischief they can achieve, but it also means that all the damage they do inflict happens fast and furiously. I fully intended to be aware of all the goings-on in Austin this year, […]

Terrible Tuesday: I’m forgetting something
I have had the feeling I’ve been forgetting something for at least the past week (I forget exactly). And sometimes I’ll remember one of the things I’ve forgotten, but there’s always something else lurking in the shadows of my mind. What I need is a Rememberall, but like Neville, I’d still be unable to remember […]

Terrible Tuesday: Wednesday edition
Yesterday, my heart was too full for the frivolity and fun of links. My prayers are with the families of little Martin Richard, Krystal Campbell, and the other as yet unnamed victim Lu Lingzi, as well as all of the injured and their families. As awful as it is at a time like this, it’s […]

Refuse to look away
Warning: This post deals with details of abortion. I realize some people carry scars, and these things are too painful. But for everyone else, we need to look at the truth.
