I keep feeling the need (or guilt) to post here or at least keep reminding you that I am regularly posting on my other blog. Limited time and energy right now has restricted me to only post at my Voices Carry pro-life blog. I’m not giving up here, I promise, I won’t let too many days go by without something interesting here.
Of course we are all praying about Hurricane Gustav hitting New Orleans today. I have posted a substantial article on where God may be in all of this. I welcome feedback on that. If you want to send money to help, send it to my friend Pastor Dino Rizzo at Healing Place Church. You may recall he and Healing Place Church in Baton Rouge were major players after Katrina. We’ll see how it goes, we may send a work team too.
Lifelight was this past weekend here in Sioux Falls – billed as the nation’s largest Christian music festival. I only went for a couple hours Saturday. I did post last night on a couple of the extremist abortion supporters who crashed the Lifelight Festival. Pardon the title but the article is even more shocking… eat a queer fetus for Jesus.
These are a just few of the headlines that caught my attention today and my discussion starters.
One heart, one widow connect suicides of 2 men (I don’t think the woman is the common denominator. I’ve seen suicides flow generationally, in siblings, etc. I would love to hear from our deliverance ministry people/friends on this one… the spirit of death staying with a transplanted heart???)
Bible Courses Allowed, Not Mandatory for Schools (Some of you know that I have been on this for a couple of years and have said this may be the next matter I take up in our city and state. I welcome your involvement.
Vladimir Putin saves TV crew from tiger (I’m looking at Putin and the Tiger through a prophetic, symbolic lens. Interesting.)
‘Founders’ prayer violated Constitution as they wrote it’?? (Thank God for my friends at the Alliance Defense Fund.)
CNN poll shows no post convention bump for Obama (No comment.)

As one, who comes from a family, who has experienced suicide first hand, and also from a small town, where at least one suicide occurred each year, I don’t believe the heart has anything to do with it. By intercession, I came against that spirit of death in my family and my hometown two years ago. Some of my cousins and aunts have experienced many miscarriages. Since I rebuked the spirit of death in my family, no more babies have died prematurely, and since I came against it in my hometown, no more suicides have occurred. Praise be to God!
Depression, loneliness, feelings of despair, hopelessness and unworthiness can lead to suicide. I experienced two very serious times of depression and suicidal feelings before getting saved. I know God was with me then, and I thank Him for saving my life!
I don’t think the suicide of those two men had anything to do with their heart transplant. I think their emotions were unstable. Sometimes guilt or fear drives people to suicide, too. Addictions, such as gambling, can also lead to suicide, because a person gets so deep in debt and controlled by money.
1 Corinthians 15:26 says, “The last enemy to be destroyed is death.” Jesus conquered death by sacrificing His life on the cross, and through His death and resurrection, we have eternal life. Death has lost its sting! Glory to God!
