My heart breaks for the women who are reminded every day they pass this man’s house of the choice they made.

I wonder how I would feel if someone took all my sins and displayed them in their front yard for me to pass by everyday.  Maybe it would bring conviction.  Or maybe it would heap on the guilt and shame.

I am pro life.  But I also don’t believe legislature will change hearts.  Only God can do that.  And he calls us to be His hands and feet. I know without a doubt I am called to love the women who have made this choice and who are contemplating this choice.  I am called to love them without reservation.

I’m not sure anybody should ask the man for three reasons.

1) If somebody knew the man personally, even if they weren’t good friends, the answer should be obvious and the question wouldn’t need to be asked.

2) If somebody didn’t know the person, then questioning whether they are doing more than that comes across as judgmental and tacky. 

3) Only somebody voting for the pro-abortion presidential candidate in this election would even ask such a question, so it would also indicate bias.

I’d say mission accomplished with this post.  Just one more reason I love to red your blog.  It makes me think and I like that

The sad thing about buying a house that was foreclosed on is that the house probably will need work before someone could live in it.

Someone did buy a house in Detroit for under two dollars on e-bay.

I just had a question. For you, personally, how do you choose what what to be involved in? or how to contribute for that matter?

There are many things I am passionate about, but only so many things I can dedicate myself too… at least if I want to be effective. Thanks for your answer!

Why did you write this post? 

How do you want people to react? 

What message are you trying to send?

1. Because I see my neighbor as representative of us all in America, Democrat and Republican, Christian and not.  We get very passionate about an issue or four when it’s time to vote but our passion is better gauged, I think, by our action in a non-election year.

2. To self-examine.  To stop focusing on and defending their party or politics and examine their lives.  I want us to ask ourselves if our lives, our investments, square with our stated convictions?  I want us to ask that of close we’re in relationship with too.  We’ll spam each other for our candidate, so why won’t we hold each other accountable for our King?  I’d like to see more of that.

3. Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth. 1 John 3:18

I’ve been praying about and looking for ministries that are stepping in and buying foreclosures to turn over to families/individuals in need. Anybody know of any? In the suburban Detroit area especially, good houses are super cheap and the need is huge.
