I haven't had very many times when I felt close to my dad. But I have enjoyed those moments when I did. I used to feel close to my mom, but the last few years that's not really been the case at all. So much of the time I honestly can't stand being around either of my parents. They're too wrapped up in themselves to notice me or care most of the time, I think.<br /><br />As for church, I see what you mean, and I agree with you. I do still take time out for God though.<br /><br />Thanks for the thoughts, Sweeney. And God bless ya. :)Brendonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18248268499428066786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319921527453210584.post-87125709321808767392009-06-13T17:29:53.836-05:002009-06-13T17:29:53.836-05:00You're lucky to at least have had a close real...You're lucky to at least have had a close realationship with your Dad. I have never been close with my parents. As for church, you should def try to start going again. I know it can be hard to go for many reasons. But one of the main things about church, besides fellowshiping with others, is that you are showing God that you want to take out time from your life to give to him in worship. I am a very non-social person, and I dont like going sometimes, but i show God that I care for Him by taking time out of my life to go.Alechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01974251664288973938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319921527453210584.post-9645552399753445132009-06-13T00:51:36.755-05:002009-06-13T00:51:36.755-05:00I probably just didn't explain myself thorough...I probably just didn't explain myself thoroughly enough.

Apparently I wasn't clear enough on that point. I don't condone murder at all. And to express how far against that I am I assure you I'm screaming that out loud as I wrote that just now. No, murder is not good! It's never good. What I think IS good is that he can no longer perform abortions on hundreds of innocent unborn babies. I don't care if a person was conceived out of rape or incest or anything else, it's still a person, a potential human life we're talking about ending. I feel sorry for the women this happens to, but I don't believe what happened to them excuses murder of an unborn child. Granted, for certain health reasons I might actually say that abortion may be necessary for the survival of the mother. Granted.<br /><br />All this goes to what I was thinking though. People want to cry and whine around because this doctor was murdered, but obviously think nothing about the hundreds of lives he helped bring to an horrific end himself. Shame on anyone who would defend the guy. Yes, he was a mass murderer in my opinion. He was killed because of that. I feel sorry for his family and I don't think the man who killed him had a right to do what he did. All I know is his death may actually lead to fewer abortions, and as far as I'm concerned that's a good thing. More people might actually get to live now because he doesn't. That's all that I meant. I'd have preferred the man lived and just stopped performing abortions.<br /><br />Let me repeat again just so that I'm as crystal clear as I can be. I DO NOT SUPPORT MURDER!!! I'm even against the death penalty for crying out loud, that's how much I am against it.Brendonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18248268499428066786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319921527453210584.post-48926102519037706722009-06-12T22:42:58.702-05:002009-06-12T22:42:58.702-05:00I hope nobody thinks “maybe it was a good thing th...I hope nobody thinks “maybe it was a good thing that abortion doctor got shot”. Are you serious? Are you really, really serious. Murder is good?<br /><br />Now, I may understand your immediate response that “he was a murderer!”. However, have you done any research? <br /><br />Do you know what kind of late term abortions he performed? Do you know who his clients included?<br />There was the case of 9 year old pregnant due to incest. Others due to rape. Do you think women came to him just for the hell of it?<br />All of his cases had to have a second opinion. He was paraded before a jury on trumped up charges and found innocent on all charges.<br />He obviously felt a moral duty to do what he was doing. He was a Christian. Murdered in church. Is this what was “a good thing?”<br /><br />You’re right, his murder does make me think a bit. It makes me think about how immoral and unlike Christ so many people can be.freelancerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04904397680024736916noreply@blogger.com
