Abortion as Hollywood's mission

So Tracy and I have gotten hooked on the TV show Private Practice. For those of you that don't know about the show, it is a spin off of Gray's Anatomoy, but in my opinion the show is nothing like Gray's. While Tracy and I were on vacation we got behind on several of the shows that we like to watch, one of those was Private Practice. For some reason our DVR didn't record one of the episodes and we were going to try and watch it on hulu.com but for some reason my computer is having issues and wouldn't stream the video well enough to make it watchable. Anyway, that has very little to do with my post. Last night we decided to try and get caught up a little bit with Private Practice, so we watched an episode that was several weeks old. And this is what my post is about.

In this episode of Private practice there is a debate about Abortion. It seemed like, to me, that this show was almost pushing abortion on the American Public. At one point one of the doctors said, "I had an abortion and I am not ashamed of it." They seemed to make it out to be just an easy thing to do. The debate had little to do with when life begins and more to do with whether or not it was the "right" decision for that person at that time. It was a very relativistic argument and one that I had some big problems - Not only were the promoting abortion, but they were also pushing this relativistic mindset, that what is good for you may not be good for me. They totally ignored any Moral Absolutes.

So here is my big issue - Hollywood, and the Far Left Liberals seem to continuously pushing the fact that Christians should not be pushing their beliefs or ideas on others. It seems to me that now they are doing the exact thing that they have criticized Christians for. They are PUSHING their ideas on abortion off on the general public, while at the same time criticizing us for doing that same thing. They continuously say that Christians are too closed minded, while at the same time they stick their fingers in their ears and ignore any other viewpoint. While they are out there preaching TOLERANCE, they are increasing INTOLERANT of Christians, the Church or anything that represents any Moral Absolutes.

Just my $.02

Let me know what you think!

I wish I could say that this really surprised me, but having lived in Illinois for most of my life, I must say it didn't. It is a known fact throughout Illinois that Chicago politicians are crooked. It is also interesting to me that so many of the Governors of Illinois are so corrupt.

More and more I have become aware of the fact that our political system in America is corrupt. I am constantly in doubt as to whether ANY politicians are actually honest. What ever happened to political offices being an office of public SERVICE. Instead it seems like everyone is out for their own gain now. I might be mistaken on this, but I don't think I am - I believe that many of the political offices held today, at one time, were volunteer. It wasn't meant to be a status symbol, but instead was a way of giving back to the country. This is deeply lost in our country today.

I guess this gives us another reason to pray for our government. They are tempted on so many levels, we need to continually lift them up in prayer.

Coffee

Well I haven't posted in a while, and I thought this was a good subject for me to post about.

I have recently begun drinking coffee. I have never been a coffee drinker. I drank a little of it a few years ago, but haven't really been craving it. What prompted me to start drinking was two-fold.

1. I was at the office one morning last week and really wanted something to drink other than bottled water. I went to the kitchen and there really wasn't much there except coffee. So I decided to go ahead and fix a pot. I put 3 creamers and 3 packs of sugar in a cup and then poured the coffee. It tasted ok, better than I usually make, so I drank it.

2. I also have realized that I am living in a coffee world, so I am conforming. Maybe it's peer pressure, maybe it is the fact that many places I go the only hot thing to drink is coffee. On cold days it is nice to have something hot to drink, so coffee will fit the bill.

To some, the coffee I drink is sissy coffee. I can't drink it black. I don't know how anyone can handle that flavor. It is terrible. BUT, with some cream and sugar it tastes ok. Someone said the other day, "So you drink some a little bit of coffee with your cream." That is pretty much the case, I drink it with a lot of cream and a lot of sugar.

So now I am officially a coffee drinker. Life will never be the same again.
