The Abortion Republic

Dec 02. 2009

Note: I am a pro-life. If you disagree with this standing, please feel free to stop reading now. Recently I came across an article from The Chicago Tribune discussing abortion issues in South Korea. The article reports of an activist group of physicians founded by obstetrician Shim Sang-duk who refuses to perform abortions and advocates prosecution for doctors who continue to do so. FACT:  Abortion is illegal in South Korea. FACT:  South Korea has one of the highest abortion rates among developed countries, so much so that it has been called "The Abortion Republic."

Thanksgiving Day Goes to the Dogs

Dec 01. 2009

My dog Comang is obsessed with my sister's dog Dante. Not in a "I have a crush on you" way. Nor in a "I want to hump the crap out of you" way.

That is why I choose to stick to the piano, writing, and books. Have YOU ever shot a firearm?   (And for those of you who are thinking, "This is it — she's gone off the deep end!", calm your horses. I only had this thought after looking into methods of de-stressing and recalled that episode of HIMYM where Marshall was able to find some relief from being dumped, albeit temporarily, by visiting a shooting range with Robin. Yes, I allow cheesy sitcoms to influence my decisions. You can judge...

Would You Choose Your Spouse or Child?

Nov 30. 2009

A New Zealand man was forced to make a terrible choice when his wife and son were trapped in a sinking car. He chose to save his wife, and their 13 year old son drowned. Man had to choose: save wife or son In the months prior to our wedding, J and I attended weekly pre-marital counseling sessions with our pastor. We actually covered this topic one week, and I was surprised to see that there is a Christian answer to this question. Who would you choose if you were in this situation? What would you say the Christian answer is? ...
