Abortion - A Woman's Right to Choose?

This is a sensitive topic, but hey, I have a tab on my blog page for social issues, & what's the point of having such a tab, if I don't place many posts within it, right? I want to talk about abortion, because it IS such a hot topic today. Please bear in mind when you read my words, that I refuse to bash anyone, be disrespectful toward those of differing viewpoints, or show judgment toward anyone who has ever had an abortion or considered having one. That said, I want to talk about abortion from my own personal perspective. It is my hope that whether or not one agrees with my views, that I may be accorded the same respect for sharing them, as I am attempting to show to others here. I am merely trying to give some food for thought on a topic that causes so much debate & strong emotion.

Why Do I Talk Too Much??

You know, I talk too much. I know, shocking isn't it? Hard to believe, I'm sure! It's true though. I've been trying to figure out why I do that, especially because it can be very off-putting to a lot of people. People see my name on their caller ID & they decide whether or not they have the time to take my call. My own son doesn't even read my Facebook messages to him if they're really long, & will only skim over the highlights. I can't blame him. Who wants to go on Facebook to have a little fun, post a few funnies or thought-provoking items, catch up with how people are doing, & then be stuck reading a single message for ten minutes? Not me! Heck, if I don't have the time or inclination to read something for several minutes, I won't even open the message. That's because Facebook tells the author of the message when the recipient has viewed it, & I don't want someone to think I read their message but didn't care enough to reply, when perhaps I just didn't have the time to reply right away.

Greater Is He!

I look above to the Lord Most High
And thank Him for each day
That I have been so blessed with life
And with the love He gave.

I thank Him for the fact that I 
Can see & I can hear;
And I can feel His presence
Whenever He is near.

Common Sense

This is a post on common sense. You know, that thing that people are equipped with but so often forget to use? Common sense is like one of those 10-in-one gadgets that does a hundred different things with one device. It comes in handy to have, & if one doesn't use it, they can still accomplish their goal, but they might make a mess in the process.

The first item on the menu is the appetizer. The little snack, to satiate those hunger pangs until the main course arrives.
