Death and Life
Today I began my day reading one of my favorite scriptures, Psalm 19.  The imagery seems to always capture me (visual learner) and remind me of the beauty of God's creation.  It always makes me mindful of God’s intention for life.  I transitioned at some point to watching some of the morning news and was greatly saddened seeing the ticker tape that stated President Obama was going to overturn an international ban concerning abortion.

Our President has wasted no time in trying to establish his legacy.  I wonder will his legacy be the death of millions of more children, not just here in the United States but even abroad.  I pray for President Obama that he would consider the scripture and choose life over death.  

This day I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live {20} and that you may love the LORD your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the LORD is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.  (Deuteronomy 30:19-20 NIV)
