Think Before Using Free E-Cards!!

Do you send e-cards? Are you especially drawn to the FREE card sites? Be Careful How You "Make A Difference' online.

Maybe you were drawn in by the Care2 claim that by sending their cards you will " help save the rain forest". The site uses words like Inspiration, Love, Information and Action. I was introduced to this card site by a family member who loves animals and wants to protect them. And Care2 does love animals! Unfortunately they may love them more than they love human life!

But did you know that your card use could help support stem cell research? Maybe you don't know a lot about stem cell research, in that case they will gladly send you a primer with all the facts. They first get your attention with "sick children".The one thing you need to know is this blatant statement:

".. a tiny ball of cells growing in a culture dish cannot reasonably be equated to a human baby."

I wonder if this was derived after speaking with the parents whose children began in a culture dish?

This is pretty interesting since they list CHRISTIAN eCards in their list of cards available. They also list PAGAN CARDS. They believe in EARTHJUSTICE-Because the earth needs a good lawyer! I'll bet I am not the only one who thinks unborn babies need representation, too!

This is just the kind of web site that a child would be drawn to. The pictures of animals and the Earth friendly ads. Such an easy way to subtly own your child's mind.

Even many who are not christian or who have sick children are uneasy about stem cell research and the direction it could take. Perhaps some doors should never be opened.

Maybe you are in favor of stem cell research, but make sure you have all the facts before you influence your children with complicated ideas. God tells us in scripture:

"Now this is what the Lord Almighty says:

'Give careful thought to your ways.' "

Haggai 1:5

Show CARE 2 that you CARE TOO! Stick with proven Christian free cards such as http://www.crosscards.com/

DAY 21 - AUTUMN LEAVES

I do not understand.....

... why anyone rakes leaves.

It seems like such a waste of precious time. They will
either blow away or naturally recycle into your grass or ground.

I think they are beautiful and I love how they crunch under your feet.

Today I am thankful for falling leaves that remind us that seasons change as life changes and in a few months after cold dark days, there will be new life again.

"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:.."Ecclesiastes 3:1

Just a little bit!

While unloading my cart at the Publix check out, I turned to the man behind me and apologized for having so many items. I wanted to make sure he knew he should go to a shorter line. He smiled and said "It's ok."

I knew he was watching as I handed the clerk my stack of green "green" canvas bags. As the bag boy loaded up my grocery items in my earth friendly bags instead of the plastic ones, the man asked "How much are these?" I turned to see that he had one of the store's canvas bags in his hand. When the clerk answered 99 cents, he pulled several off the rack to add to his own purchases.

I may be taking liberties here but I think I influenced him just a little. You never know when someone is watching you. Go forth, be a good example, and feel great that every little bit helps.

"Then the LORD God took the man and put him into the garden

of Eden to cultivate it and keep it. " Genesis 2:15 NAS
