LIVE A LIFE OF NO REGRETS!!: Get Out and Vote!!

Quote from "Stepping Heavenward" by Mrs. E. Prentiss

"She says I shall now have one mouth more to fill and two feet the more to shoe, more disturbed nights, more laborious days, and less leisure or visiting, reading, music and drawing.

Well! This is one side of the story, to be sure, but I look at the other.

Here is a sweet, fragrant mouth to kiss; here are two more feet to make music with their pattering about my nursery. Here is a soul to train for God; and the body in which dwells is worthy of all it will cost, since it is the abode of a kingly tenant. I may see less of friends, but I have gained one dearer than them all, to whom, while I minister in Christ's name, I make a willing sacrifice of what little leisure for my own recreation my other dear darlings had left me. Yes, my precious baby, you are welcome to her time, her strength, her health, her tenderest cares, to her lifelong prayers! Oh, how rich I am, how truly, wondrously blest!"

Get Out and Vote!!

I'm unsure how a Christian can vote for any candidate that doesn't support life but especially a candidate that has no problem with partial birth abortion. Put all other political ideals aside. Whether you believe in socialistic or capitalistic ideals, do you believe in the Gospel of Jesus Christ and are you willing to put a price on life? Willing to look the other way while babies are killed and mother's lives are affected, so the economy may get better? Willing to look the other way so that you can get more money from the government? Willing to look the other way so you can get health care, education or any other item that may be swaying your vote enough to ignore the rights of unborn children?

"Now more than ever the people are responsible for the character of their Congress. If that body be ignorant, reckless, and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness, and corruption." ~ James Garfield

"The ignorance of one voter in a democracy impairs the security of all." ~ John F. Kennedy

"The name of American, which belongs to you, in your national capacity, must always exalt the just pride of Patriotism.... It should be the highest ambition of every American to extend his views beyond himself, and to bear in mind that his conduct will not only affect himself, his country, and his immediate posterity; but that its influence may be co-extensive with the world,and stamp political happiness or misery on ages yet unborn." -George Washington.

"And if we now cast our eyes over the nations of the earth, we shall find that, instead of possessing the pure religion of the Gospel, they may be divided either into infidels, who deny the truth; or politicians who make religion a stalking horse for their ambition; or professors, who walk in the trammels of orthodoxy, and are more attentive to traditions and ordinances of men than to the oracles of truth." - Samuel Adams

"It does not take a majority to prevail ... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams
