Servant of Almighty GOD. Husband to Elizabeth. Father to Katie and Christopher. Student of the Word of GOD. Author of BITS OF BLESSING AND PIECES OF PRAISE . Sunday School teacher for the Inspiration Class.
A careful look at the word of GOD and you notice that HE brings specific people into this world to do very specific things. While studying to teach a Sunday School lesson on the value of human life, I was suddenly struck with the sad realization that we may have already taken the life of the baby that GOD had gifted with the ability to find a cure for cancer or AIDS or some other disease that is needlessly taking the lives of our citizens. And now we are reaping the death that we have sown. “As you sow even so shall you reap.” We can never know the impact of one life except in retrospect. Think of the lasting impact of an Abraham Lincoln, a Martin Luther King, Jr, a Harriet Tubman, a Booker T. Washington, an Albert Einstein or a George Washington. It’s hard to imagine the loss and the suffering that may have been caused if just one of these people had never been. Of the millions who have died in abortion, how many would have done so great a service to mankind as one of these men or women. The loss of just one and their potential contributions to society is not something we normally ponder when we consider the impact of abortion on our society. God’s word clearly affirms the value of every human being, even the baby in the womb. We as a society of free born Americans need to affirm the value of the baby not yet born. And we need to remember the words of our LORD in Matthew 25:40 that what we do “unto one of the least of these”, we do also unto HIM. That includes the least desirable, the least wanted, the least loved, and the least loveable. That includes those who are still in the womb. If we love HIM it will be evidenced in how we love them. And we must remember that our actions reflect our attitudes. If we say we love them and really mean it, then we will work to protect the unborn. We will affirm their value. I wrote this poem [What Could Have Been?] while preparing the lesson.

Life Wins!
Death has prevailed
For forty-nine years
Patiently we’ve prayed
With heartache and tears
Through protest and march
Campaign and cause
State by state
Passing pro-life laws
Advocating for babies
Relentless in the fight
And always determined
To do what is right
The work of the faithful
Yielding eternal rewards
And our hearts bound
With heavenly cords
The slaughter of the innocents
One of our greatest sins
But in the end, we find
That truly life wins!

DEFENDERS OF LIFE
Defenders of life
We boldly stand
And serve our LORD
Hand in hand
Proud to proclaim
Each soul’s worth
Courageous in the fight
As we walk this earth
Filled with resolve
And determination
To end this slaughter
That defiles our nation
Changing minds
And changing laws
We’re forever faithful
To our righteous cause
For the least of these
We’re called to fight
And defend their lives
With all our might
We’ll never back down
And never relent
Till our very last breath
Is finally spent!

The Blood Cries Out!
The deafening cries
Of blood from the ground
Reaching to heaven
A heart wrenching sound
Crying for justice
And their defense
Why the carnage?
It doesn’t make sense
Why can’t we stop
This senseless slaughter?
Why would they kill
Their son or daughter?
Where does it end?
When will it stop?
The death we’ve sown
Is a deadly crop
Surely the reaping
Will destroy our land
Ultimately, we’re all
In our GOD’S hand
In the judgment to come
What will the verdict be?
Have you faithfully stood
Or did you flee?
Have you fought for those
Who cannot fight?
Did you value their lives
And defend their right?

What Could Have Been?
Tiny little fingers
and tiny little toes
What she could have been
only heaven knows
Growing in the safety
of her hiding place
A beautiful little head
and a precious little face
Yawning and stretching
and kicking around
Moving and responding
to her mother’s sound
A future chemist
or an astronaut in space
Someone to cure cancer
for the human race
A wonderful mind
that could have found
answers to the questions
that have kept us bound
A precious life
so quickly is gone
And now we’re reaping
the death we’ve sown
To take her life
is a horrible sin
And it’s sad to think
What could have been?

Silent Screams
The silent screams
That only GOD hears
From millions of babies
Down through the years
Precious lives lost
In the name of choice
Our GOD listens
And hears their voice
Cruel and heartless
The abortionist kills
Lacking the love
That our GOD wills
Appointed to death
By a culture gone mad
With no compassion
It’s horribly sad
Taking innocent lives
And harming us all
We must end this carnage
Or suffer the fall
Each life is precious
In our LORD’s eyes
And won’t you listen
To their silent cries?

TRUST IN HIM!
These troubling times
That test our will
Just know that GOD
Is with us still
HE has not left
HE will not leave
HE’s always there
For those who believe
HIS abiding presence
It gives us HOPE
As this virus spreads
It helps us cope
In the darkest days
HE’s still the LIGHT
For the children of GOD
No need for fright
Courage to face
What comes our way
From HIM the strength
To make it each day
HIS love for us
Will see us through
And trust in HIM
Is what we must do!

If She Could Speak
If she could speak
Would you hear her cry?
Or would you turn your head
And walk on by?
Would you listen
As she pleads her case?
Would you see the terror
On her precious face?
If she could speak
Would you hear her voice?
Would you finally decide
It’s not about choice?
If she could scream
Would you stop your ears?
Would there be any heartache?
Would there be any tears?
Won’t you see
Her suffering and pain?
Or will your love
Continue to wane?
She’s very much human
She’s surely alive
Won’t you let her
Grow and thrive?
Won’t you stand
Her life to defend?
And bring abortion
Finally, to an end!
