CHOOSE LIFE: HUSBAND'S BATTLE WITH ALS EMPOWERS WIFE TO LIVE

As Canada's new government apparently seeks to legalize assisted suicide, my heart breaks at the thought of folks supporting such ignorance that devalues human life. It is why if I find great example such as this couple, I want to share them. Hopefully, through awareness, education and a miracle, those who believe the lie, that to die by taking your own life through the hands of another because you have a life altering disease or such, will open their eyes and see the value of all life.
As well, I pray that the blind will see that living with diseases and disabilities is a part of life for many of us and by supporting assisted suicide and Euthanasia, it sends a very negative message to those who live with dignity no matter how tough it may get.
Psalm 139:14-17
14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully [and] wonderfully made: marvellous [are] thy works; and [that] my soul knoweth right well. 15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, [and] curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. 16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all [my members] were written, [which] in continuance were fashioned, when [as yet there was] none of them. 17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!

WOOHOO! FIFTY AND LOVING IT!

According to a dear family member, I have been informed that I am the only person who was ecstatic to be fifty. Funny, they were implying that it was almost as if it wasn't "normal"to feel that way about reaching the half century mark. Well, I am here to testify and confirm what I had already anticipated, that yes, after two whole days since the big event, I really do love being able to say, "I am fifty!" Seriously, saying it,  with great honour and privilege, actually moves me to tears. Ya, I know, it may sound corny to many, but not for me.
I encourage all friends and those who I may never meet, to not fret or allow vanity to ruin the momentous event. Aging for me is an adventure that I really thought I wouldn't get to experience. More on that another time.
So woo hoo, yay, fifty!!! Thank You Lord for this grand adventure called life!

Say No To Murder, Of All Kinds - Life, Is Not Up For Debate

Yup, that is Me back in 1966 or so!
They're at it again! It's been out there all this time, but I confess, I have been looking down at my feet. It is such a painful subject, I stepped back a while ago and tried to ignore the Euthanasia issue. Ashamed that I whimped out because it frustrated and saddened me to no end, realizing that even those I thought cared about protecting all life, have fallen for the lie.
As a person who lives with a progressive neuromuscular disorder called Spinal Muscular Atrophy, that can weaken my muscles to the point that I may need a respirator or be fed by a tube one day, I shudder to think that people I trust actually believe it would be ethical to end my life if I asked them to.  Recent headlines about our new Liberal government seeking to work on legalizing Doctor Assisted Suicide or Death, left me with no other option but to speak out again. Even if no one listens, what matters is doing what I believe is right. The results are in God's hands.

So, I started by trying to write an article about this passionate subject and the feelings about it are so intense, it is hard to put it on "paper," so I recorded a video. It is the best way available, to share my heart, to plead with people to think, think about what it really means to say yes to legalizing Doctor Assisted Suicide, Euthanasia and even "mercy" killing. Think hard and long about what it all actually means before you endorse such acts. The blood of the innocent, unborn babies, murdered every day are already on our hands as a society, to add more...

Of course, I know many won't agree about the sanctity of human life at all stages and will agree that it is a great option to have for suffering loved ones or themselves.  Whether anyone wants to believe it or not,  just as 3x3=9,  regardless of  whether we accept it as truth, the answer is 9, always will be. The same goes with taking human life, regardless of why or how or when, it isn't right. No debates about that.
Here's the video...  I feel convicted to share this.
Anyway, here is the video.



Protect All Life, Fearfully and Wonderfully Made.

Because I made a series of vides a few years ago on the subject, I will not repeat what is in there. So the videos are below incase anyone is interested. Again, the topic breaks my heart and infuriates me so much.
