Have your cell phone?

If you enlarge the layout, you can read the story behind this picture.

Twasn't long ago that a person could get in a car and drive across the country without a cell phone. Yes, it was really possible.  But now I can't run down to the corner grocery without mine. What if something would happen?  Of course everyone else has one and if something did happen,  at least 6 people would probably call for help.  We have turned around and gone home several times to get a phone...even when another person, or persons, in the car had one in a pocket or purse.  Pathetic, isn't it?  We are so attached, so dependent. Oh that we could be as dependent on God, making sure we had Him with us on every outing and keeping Him close at hand at home as well.

But instead of keeping Him near, way too many are trying to escape His sight...as if they could.

Something new in the news (I guess it should be new, hence the name 'news') is the decision by a federal judge to allow the morning after pill to be bought by any girl, regardless of her age. It just doesn't make sense. Parents have to make sure our young children get vaccinations and have medical care. We are responsible to see they get an education, etc. But when something this big and life changing comes along, a parent doesn't even have to know about it.

Doesn't it seem frightening that a mere child in elementary school can buy drugs that will kill a baby, and not need any kind of medical supervision?  or moral support? There is a lot of side effects caused by morning after pills.

Dr. David Samadi, Vice Chairman of Mt Sinai's Department of Urology said the pills often cause bleeding. He also said, It affects hormonal changes and must be done under doctor supervision...not just on your own.

When children are young, they rarely have what it takes to make decisions that will affect their whole lives.  With peer pressure it opens the door for them to become sexually active at younger and younger ages. It will not be healthy for them to open themselves up to all the sexually contracted diseases as well.

Somewhere here we've left God and His word out of the picture.

Pray that  this decision is over thrown by others who are much wiser than US District Judge Edward Korman.
