CREATED BY GOD, MURDERED BY ABORTIONIST.

 Coral in the ocean is not just beautiful - it is an animal  which is often described as  "just a clump of polyps".

God made that. In His majestic mind and awesome creativity He made that so He could reveal His nature and omnipotence.

We marvel at such beauty and prolific expressive genius.

But what about you? He created you and you are a million times more beautiful than the coral you see.

Just listen to the Psalmist in No. 139. This is how God sees us.

13 For you formed my inward parts;

you knitted me together in my mother's womb.

14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.[a]

Wonderful are your works;

my soul knows it very well.

15 My frame was not hidden from you,

when I was being made in secret,

intricately woven in the depths of the earth.

16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance;

in your book were written, every one of them,

the days that were formed for me,

when as yet there was none of them.

Got goosebumps yet? You are more than a clump of polyps, you are an eternal soul created in the image of God.

And so is every child living in a womb today. So were you when you were curled up inside your mom's belly awaiting the miracle of birth. You were part of God's creation.

How do you think He feels when an abortionist murders in cold blood the beautiful human being He worked so hard to create?

We are fearfully and wonderfully made. God actually knitted you

together in your mother’s womb, forming your heart, your lungs, your rib cage, your kidneys and bladder, all 25 feet of your small and large intestines wound so carefully along the walls of your torso, adding the arms and legs, even down to the tiny tiny toes with their fragile and beautiful nails. He designed the color of your hair and added the sparkle to your beautifully colored eyes.

You were handcrafted by God. Doesn’t that blow your mind????

But that’s not all. God’s eyes looked you over very carefully to check out His workmanship and then He pronounced you “Good’ as He did all His creation in the Book of Genesis.

And then,

and then,

yes, even after all this, he counted the days He was giving you, the days He had planned out for you, every minute, every second, every hour, every year even before “there was none of them” - even before you had lived even one minute outside the womb.

God made the choice to fashion you after His own image. He took the time to do it perfectly. And you proudly proclaim that YOU believe in abortion? HOW DARE YOU LOOK GOD IN HIS FACE AND SAY YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO DESTROY WHAT HE HAS MADE? HOW DARE YOU????

Moneymaker House on Harwood Avenue

I was so thrilled to read in last night's Lebanon Daily Record that the Laclede County Historical Society has now received title to the Moneymaker House on Harwood Avenue. I have always loved that house. As a little girl living in Old Town Lebanon on the corner of Wood & Apple Streets, and walking to school each day, I passed that house every day and always thought it was the most beautiful house in town. The large mature trees in the front yard were always so stately with their long curvy branches sweeping the ground and creating a canopy for the squirrels to have their own private playhouse during the spring and summer. In the fall, the leaves became a gorgeous array of colors gradually falling to the ground and making a carpet under the trees, eventually paving the way for the white snow which inevitably would come as winter would arrive. I loved the low branches sweeping the ground at the Moneymaker house so much that I asked Milan in the early years of our marriage to le...

All Keyed Up, Locked Out, and Alarmed - A Crazy Day in my Life

What a day!  So many catastrophes, all having to do with keys.  How weird is that? Got ready to go to work, running late as usual, and noticed at last minute I didn't have my car/house/shop keys.  Last time I saw them was when we opened up the shop on Sunday afternoon to let MJ and my granddaughters pick out some beauty, bath and body items. Fortunately I keep an extra car key and house key in my wallet.  Found the car key and drove to the store, but then realized I didn't have an extra key for the store.  Called Milan from my cell phone and he opened the door from the inside and gave me an extra key he had. Middle of afternoon, I needed to go to the bank.  Found my little car key in my purse, grabbed it and the small ring of Milan's keys so I could get back into the shop, walked about 2 steps to my car, unlocked the door, threw my purse in, got in and realized I had somehow lost the car key. Called Milan again from my cell phone hoping he had an ex...

LDR column published 05.09.12 - Jess Easley

Straight From The Hart By Joan Rowden Hart Jess  Easley , Lebanon Historian and StoryTeller I’ve been trying to trace a place called Railroad Pond from the early days of Lebanon.  Perhaps some of you “old-timers” will have more information, but I found a reference to it in Jess  Easley ’s recollections of Lebanon. Jess talked about skating on Railroad Pond when he was just a kid, and also working to cut ice on it during the cold winters that Lebanon experienced.  The grocery stores which had meat markets would hire people to cut ice from the pond to put in their ice house and store for the summer. Jess was one of Milan’s favorite customers when Milan started working at the barber shop with Fred Pitts in 1968, and he quickly became one of Milan’s mentors in collecting oral memories and memorabilia of Lebanon history. Jess was born in Lebanon in January of 1891, and died here on March 1, 1983 at the age of 92 , and had a good strong mind right up to the very end, so he...
