Repost from Focus on the Family


The Following is reposted from an email from Focus on The Family, posting this does not imply any endorsement of us by them, nor does it imply we endorse all their views, but we do endorse the sanctity of life.
According to the Charlotte Lozier Institute—a pro-life think tank in Washington, D.C.—the number of people living with Down syndrome in the United States has declined by 30 percent over the last 36 years. Every year, fewer people are born with the condition—but it isn’t due to any scientific or medical breakthrough. Tragically, this phenomenon is occurring by eliminating people.
Prenatal screening and testing advances have allowed doctors to diagnose Down syndrome fairly accurately before babies are born—usually around the 20th week of pregnancy. Sadly, based on the results of those tests, many families choose abortion over life. A team of researchers who published a study in the February 2012 issue of the journal Prenatal Diagnosis estimated that two out of every three preborn babies nationwide with Down syndrome are aborted, often with the full support of medical professionals.
Listen to these Focus on the Family Broadcasts, as author Heather Avis and her husband, Josh, discuss the heartache that infertility had on the early years of their marriage and the joy they now share as parents of three adopted children, two of whom have Down syndrome. The couple shines a positive light on Down syndrome, reminding parents that God is always faithful in the midst of whatever challenges they face.

Organizing Tips From The Container Store

The Following is an article from the Container Store. We also have storage items and systems. Also check out our kitchen food storage items, utensils, and appliances. 1. Start in one place If you have several areas in your home you want to get under control, start with just one. You decide which one to start with — is it the area that gives you the biggest headache, or the area that guests to your home most easily see? Whatever your priorities, select one area and stick to it. Many attempts at organization fail when the task of cleaning up the entire house seems daunting and folks give up. When you complete one area, celebrate and then move on to the next. 2. Allow plenty of time Don't expect organization to happen overnight. Depending on the area to be organized, schedule a couple of hours each day to work on getting the area organized. Getting a garage whipped into shape will take more time than it takes to organize a linen closet. 3. Clean house Once you...

When an unintended pregnancy interrupts the “script” a young woman has sketched out for her life, many conflicting emotions compete simultaneously for center stage: panic, fear, anger, guilt and more. The good news, which she needs to hear, is that God’s grace will meet her at her point of need, and His sufficiency will abundantly supply. One way He often does that – in fact, the most common way – is through His people. Pro-life pregnancy centers and medical clinics are on the front lines in many communities. They offer essential services to women facing an unexpected pregnancy, as well as an opportunity to discuss vital alternatives to abortion. Medical clinics offer pregnancy confirmation through ultrasound, which gives the young mother an opportunity to view the amazing development of her preborn baby. A woman’s family members and the father of the baby often struggle during this time, and pro-life centers present a safe place to deal with their own feelings and responsibilit...

I want to congratulate all the men out there who are working diligently to be good fathers whether they are stepfathers, or biological fathers or just spiritual fathers.  T. D. Jakes When fathers come home after a tough day at work, they should come home to serve, like my father did, teaching lessons around the dinner table and leading the family in worship and prayer.  Tony Evans
