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/

WELCOME TO THE FUTURE!

"First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men, for kings and all who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity."
1 Timothy 1:1-2

While it will be difficult to respect a man who would kill an unborn child; I will always respect the office of President. And in a country of democracy the people have spoken. So I will continue to pray for America and its people.

The potentially positive thing about the outcome of this election is that perhaps this will encourage moving beyond the past. Since 1986 I have always been involved in some manner, in the area of social work. It was constantly stressed that there was a disproportionate number of minority children in the foster care system and in our prisons. All the while I felt like a minority whenever I entered the Department of Social Services or the Judicial Center where I worked.

I have never had much patience with racial disparity talk because from where I stand minorities received many advantages just because they were minorities. I, also, believe the media itself stirs up racial tension. Actually, I liked my 'minority' co-workers better than most of the non-minority ones. I didn't choose who to respect or befriend based on color. And the children I represented were almost always minorities. I did not value them more or less because of their skin color. All children need love and a safe home. I once received a very sweet e-mail from a minority commending me for always treating everyone the same. I didn't know any other way to do it.

Just as the bottom line on the abortion issue is that it isn't up to us; so goes the presidential party issue: God has already spoken!

"Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God.
Therefore whoever resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves.
For rulers are not a cause of fear for good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good and you will have praise from the same; for it is a minister of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil.
Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of wrath, but also for conscience' sake. For because of this you also pay taxes, for rulers are servants of God, devoting themselves to this very thing.
Render to all what is due them: tax to whom tax is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor. "

Romans 3:1-7
