*Reuters - "Governor signs new law for abortion clinics in Michigan"

...... Why we ever try to legislate these 'death clinics' is beyond me. .... How can we be so blind? 
I saw a picture Mary's baby (our website manager) and it was amazing ... No one can tell me this child was not a person yet! .... To think that some 55 million of these living souls have been slaughtered is incomprehensible! ... and to think that the majority of our government, including our president, support it?! ... Think of this ... we are outraged and brokenhearted by the likes of Columbine and Newtown ... as we should be ... but turn the other way on aborted babies ... These people who perform this 'service' are as guilty as those who pulled the trigger in the other tragedies  ................... May God have mercy on our souls .......

   -Costa Rica saw most seismic activity ever in 2012 ...

*CNS News - "Obama administration:  We can and will force Christians to act against their faith"

*NBC News - "Weather, tainted drugs bring year of deadly outbreaks"

That's it for another week of 'exciting' & uplifting news .... concerning the last article relating to our national debt, for several years now I've been saying ... and to some criticism ... that America needed to 'slip back into the pack' of nations in order to level the playing field for the anti-christ to come upon the scene. ... With this 'out-of-control' national spending resulting in this massive debt load, what 'better' way to destroy the only world super- power. .... It is sad, but I believe it fits into the prophetic picture ...... Stand by for much more to take place in this arena ...

I pray that each of you will grow in the knowledge of our Lord in this coming year. ... As times become more difficult in these times, this will be the ONE thing that will give you the strength to withstand the 'enemy' in his final time of causing havoc. .... Just remember that the Lord loves you ... enough to have died for you ... and that whatever may befall you in this time will be short-lived. 

Until next time,
