All of these books will be "first-timers" for me so I'm excited :). There's something special about reading (and therefore, discovering) a really great book!
"What do women do then when they get raped and are now pregnant? Pregnant daughters from fathers? Unwed Women have been forced in past history to give up their children by their families, these same women are lost for the rest of their lives looking for their babies. What do we do as a society with pregnant Women when they suffer with a mental illness? What about the mother who just recently dumped her children (7 and 4) into the river here in Portland? Was she healthy enough to be a mother for our Lord's Child 7 years ago?
As a Woman and as your sister in Christ - I want to love all Women and respect each individual hardship that some women go through life. I want to be able not to just think of myself in my life but learn from Women who Hurt and let them know that I will not judge their decision. We are all God's children and I feel He wants us to help and care for each other and not Blame and Shame. Just my thoughts."
Dear "Wondering",
Thank you for sharing your opinions. I am going to answer your questions one by one.
"What do women do then when they get raped and are now pregnant? Pregnant daughters from fathers?"
First of all, statistics show that only 1% of all abortions are performed because of rape or incest. That can never be used to justify the other 99%-which is the overwhelming majority. But let’s discuss that one percent–these girls are caught in a horrible situation which should never happen to anyone. The thing is: will killing their baby make them feel any better or remedy the situation? Of course not! If anything, it will most likely heap depression on them. I’m not saying they need to raise the baby themselves; they can give him/her up for adoption. Though it is a grievous situation they are in, it can never justify killing a life. Because one life already suffers, it does not mean another life needs to suffer (or in this case, be terminated).
"Unwed Women have been forced in past history to give up their children by their families, these same women are lost for the rest of their lives looking for their babies."
Are you saying it would have been better if they had killed them instead? Would that not make them feel lost? In most cases, they will probably feel more lost. On top of the loss of their child, they would have to grapple with the guilt and depression that comes with the (conscious or subconscious) knowledge that they are responsible for the death of their child through abortion. In addition, women who purposely kill their babies just so they won’t have to bother to give them up for adoption are being selfish. Some seem to think it’s emotionally easier to murder your baby than to give him/her up for adoption. That is nonsense!
"What do we do as a society with pregnant Women when they suffer with a mental illness?"
If a woman is mentally unable to care for a child or refuses to give proper care to her child, she should give him/her up for adoption.
"What about the mother who just recently dumped her children (7 and 4) into the river here in Portland? Was she healthy enough to be a mother for our Lord's Child 7 years ago?"
Are you saying it would have been better if they had been killed seven and four years earlier, respectively? That does not make sense to me. It is murder either way. It is just as sorrowful either way. Neither abortion nor drowning your children can ever be justified.
"As a Woman and as your sister in Christ - I want to love all Women and respect each individual hardship that some women go through life. I want to be able not to just think of myself in my life but learn from Women who Hurt and let them know that I will not judge their decision. We are all God's children and I feel He wants us to help and care for each other and not Blame and Shame. Just my thoughts."
Certainly, we should love all these women with the love of Christ no matter what mistakes they may or may not have made. Nevertheless, there are still certain things that must be judged. We must judge between good and evil. "Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter." Isaiah 5:20
My video’s purpose is not to "blame and shame" these women. I wanted to inform them in hope that they will make the right decision (choose life). If you are hurting or facing hardship, does that give you the right to go out and kill someone? Definitely not!
Regarding what you said, "we’re all God’s children." Technically, we are all God’s creation; however, unless we are saved by believing in Jesus Christ, we are not God’s children and not heirs according to the promise. For instance, Hitler was created by God as all people have been. He was not God’s child. It is great that you have love, compassion, and concern for these women. I implore you to have that same love, compassion, and concern for God’s creation within the womb.
I want to end with questions to ponder: In our society, why would many people be willing to do everything they could to rescue a seven year old outside of the womb but not a seven week old (or even seven month old) child still in the womb? In God’s sight and from a Biblical worldview, is there a difference? If so, what? If not, why not?

Calling ALL Homeschoolers! A Homeschooling Tag just for us!
Here are the rules:
Answer all 10 questions! Then,
Tag 3 or more other homeschoolers!
HERE WE GO:

I am going into 11th grade.
3) What is your favorite subject(s) in your homeschool?
Fine arts are. Filmmaking, writing, literature, etc.
4) What is your least favorite subject(s) in your homeschool?
Math.
5) What is a current/previous homeschooling challenge you've faced?
Stressing myself out on getting everything done everyday :).
6) What are you looking forward to over the coming year?
I look forward to making short films, writing essays, articles, short stories, novels, screenplays, etc., helping plan and eventually launch a family business, reading good books, learning more of what I need to know to be a capable keeper at home, and so much more!

10) Where do you homeschool? (Kitchen table, livingroom, etc.)
I normally do my homeschool in my room. That is where my desk is located and it's quieter than downstairs.

Christianity in Crisis: The 21st Century by Hank Hanegraaff
I wholeheartedly endorse this book and give it five stars! I would give it ten if I could; it is one of the best books I have ever read! Mr. Hank Hanegraaff has done an amazing job of exposing a dangerous cultic movement, the Word of Faith movement. The Faith teachers (Benny Hinn, Kenneth Copeland, Joel Osteen, etc.) are preaching a “gospel” "which is really no gospel at all.” (Galatians 1) Mr. Hanegraaff has carefully dissected this movement's beliefs and shown where and how they deviate from essential Christian doctrine. The information given is thoroughly researched and exhaustively documented. He has employed acronyms to make it even easier to remember. Not only does he show that Christianity is indeed in crisis, he also shows how each individual can get out of their own crisis (being separated from God and headed for hell) and into a right relationship with God. What great knowledge is shared in this book! From commonly believed but grave errors being shown in the proper light to great teaching on the use of money, this book covers so many important topics all the while comparing everything to Scripture. I encourage every believer in Christianity and every non-believer to read this book; both groups will learn invaluable information without having to invest in hundreds of hours of research and study; the author has already done it for you.

I am thankful for… The fact that after months of hoping and praying, we are finally able to upload video from the camcorder to the computer! I can now edit my video footage! I am thrilled. The solution: We completely started our computer from scratch using the recovery discs that came with it. It was not easy but definitely worth it! Thank you so much, Daddy, for fixing it!
I am wearing... A light pink shirt and a jean skirt

A picture I’d like to share... Finally, a couple pictures that I took. These pictures are of a rose my parents gave to me on a day when I stayed at home (while everyone else went grocery shopping) because I wasn't feeling well. (Also, it had been a frustrating and disappointing time because the day before we had worked so hard to film the first part of a three minute movie for the 36 hour Christian film contest but could not upload the video. The problem didn't get fixed until after the contest was over.) It was so sweet and thoughful of my parents to bring me home a rose; I was really surprised!
I just finished listening to the audio CD set by Vision Forum entitled "Lights! Camera! Action! Highlights from the 2009 Christian Filmmakers Academy". It was very educational! There was plenty of practical advice as well as theological teaching. The speakers included Mr. Doug Phillips, Mr. Geoffrey Botkin, Mr. Isaac Botkin, Mr. Stephen Kendrick, Mr. Dean Jones, and more! They spoke on a variety of subjects, from cinematography to science fiction to the most common mistakes of beginning directors. I'm so glad I have had the opportunity to listen to these CDs and learn all the things I did which will help me as I make films.

Today… March 23, 2009
Outside my window… It's raining.
I am thinking… That our vacation was great! You can read about it at http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/servingtheKingofkings/670420/ .
I am thankful for… being done with formal schooling for tenth grade. It is interesting/funny that I'm just as busy (or more so) now than I was before! For instance, last Wednesday (a week after having finished), I did Bible, story boarding, listened to most of an audio CD (of the 2009 San Antonio Independent Christian Film Academy), read part of Christianity in Crisis by Hank Hanegraff, practiced piano, edited part of my book, watched a World History DVD, and learned Thai. And that's not all :)!

A picture I’d like to share... One of the pictures my mom took at Smith Rock State Park
Between the Walls by Glowing Nose Productions was a very interesting/unique movie! I thought it was pretty well done (story, acting, and technically). I really appreciated that they clearly presented the Gospel and even got into the tough issue of "Who is really a Christian?" Between the Walls teaches forgiveness and love. It's clean, family-friendly, and a movie I would recommend! I give it 3 1/2 stars.

Today… March 1, 2009 (I'm doing it a day in advance, again)
Outside my window… There is a teensy bit of rain.
I am thinking… about our upcoming work-related vacation!
I am thankful for… having finally gotten the rough draft of my book over the required 20,000 word count! Also, I am thankful for the finished rough draft of my short film script and a finished Bible memorization goal. It's great when long term (and short term) goals are accomplished! Soli Deo Gloria!
I am wearing… A brown shirt with a blue jacket and a blue jean skirt.
I am reading… The Bible (2 Samuel right now), Christianity in Crisis by Hank Hanegraff, and Growing in Grace Magazine's March issue.
I am creating… I will probably work on creating some storyboards and I will be editing my writing.

Today… February 22, 2009 (Yes, I'm doing it in advance :))
Outside my window… The blinds are covering it...it would be dark anyway.
I am thinking… about how precious children are and how there are so many millions of children with no hope in the world...they live in extreme poverty and are often sold into slavery and prostituition. Worst of all, they do not know Jesus. Millions of these children live in India alone. Gospel for Asia is doing something about it. Through Bridge of Hope they are sharing the love of Jesus with the kids of the dalits or "untouchables" while giving them food, clothing, and an education. It only costs $28 a month to sponsor a child and change his or her entire future and share the hope of Christ with not only that child but also his/her family and even the entire community!
I am thankful for… never going hungry.
I am wearing… A black Steps for Life t-shirt and a blue skirt
I am reading… The Bible (2 Samuel right now) and Christianity in Crisis by Hank Hanegraff.
I am creating…GGM assignment(s), short film script, book, etc. You can read my review of Fireproofhere.
One of my favorite things… This actually does not qualify as a "thing" but I love children!
For education this week… Bible, Algebra 2, biology, world history, writing, literature, P.E., and Thai. Note: I do seven subjects each day. P.E. and Thai alternate and I have already finished vocabulary which used to alternate with literature. Plus, different things I do that fall into the "fine arts" and "electives" category :)!
A keeper at home skill I am using/learning … time management
A spiritual lesson I’m learning… Contentment
A godly character trait I plan to work on… Perseverance/Patience
Scripture I am memorizing… Ephesians 6
I am praying for… Unreached people groups (including the Dalits) and poverty stricken children around the world. And...I am continuing to pray forTyler Farver and his family.
For the rest of the week… Writing, reading, schoolwork, piano, etc.
Fireproof, in true Sherwood Pictures fashion, was a wonderful movie! It was dramatic and yet there was humor, too. The acting was well done...I especially applaud the actor who played Caleb's best friend and the actor who played Caleb's dad. Very good job! (The two lead actors did fine, too :)) I appreciated the Gospel being presented once again. Also, I am glad that love was not portrayed as a "feeling". I do, however, want to make a point. The husband is not supposed to be a slave. Seriously, the husband should not have to work a full time job and then do the housework as well. If he wants to help out occaisionally, that's great. But it is the wife's job to be a helpmeet and keeper at home. I do not want any women out there to expect their husbands (or future husbands) to do everything for them while they sit back (or go pursue a career outside the home)! We are not created to be that way. The husband and wife are supposed to be co-laborers for Christ with the husband as the head and the wife as the submissive helpmeet. Anyway, when everything is considered, the theology, story, acting, and technical ability, it is still one of the best films out there and I look forward to their next production. I give Fireproof four and 3/4 stars. I simply cannot give a five to any film, yet!
Edit: I was speaking of husbands and wives in general. I realize that Catherine was not a Christian and could not be expected to fulfill the role of a Biblical woman and also, I realize that Caleb was trying to win back the heart of his wife. Therefore, those were special circumstances. I simply didn't want Christian women to apply it to their own life wrongly and expect too much from their husbands.
Note: This was written soon after returning from the conference on Feb. 7, 2009; I waited to add the photos to this post.
Wow...my head is packed full of education. But then again, that's not exactly true since there's a theory that you only use 10% of the capacity of your brain in your entire life. Now that's something to try to wrap your brain around :)! Anyway, the conference was wonderful! The speakers were very good and humorous. They were God-fearing men who shared the Gospel and were pro-homeschool, pro-second amendment, and of course, pro-creationism...my kind of people :). I'm so glad that our church gave out free tickets to the conference.
I seriously don't know how anyone can believe in evolution! Then again, a lot of them simply believe evolution because they don't want to believe the only alternative. They don't want to admit that God exists, that they are responsible for their actions, that there is a heaven and a hell, etc. so they stubbornly cling to a faulty theory which has no real evidence. The others are brainwashed in public schools and colleges. For the most part, these places are not places of education but of indoctrination. Karl Marx realized that the way you conquer a group of people/country socially, culturally, economically, etc. is to infiltrate their schools (and media). These schools and teachers (except rare ones) do not teach students how to think and reason but instead, they teach them to believe what they want them to believe which includes humanism, socialism, Marxism, feminism, etc.
Everyone who believes in evolution should think about all the evidence for creation and the clear lack of evidence for evolution. It's absolutely astounding! My finger was hurting from so much note taking :). I think the circular reasoning which evolutionists use is funny but sad. For instance: What animals survived? The fittest. How do you know which animals are the fittest? They survived. What animals survive? The fittest. How do you know which animals are the fittest? They survived.
Here's another example: How do you know how old the layers in the geological column are? We know because of the fossils that are in it. How do you know how old the fossils are? We know because of what layer in the geological column it is in. What they are (falsely) saying is that they know a layer of rock is 600 million years old because it contains a certain fossil. They know that the same fossil is 600 million years old because it was found in that rock. Okay, so how do we know that the layer of rock or the fossil is 600 million years old?? We do not! In fact, the complete geological column is found only in textbooks and/or posters. That's it. No one has ever seen it in real life.
There is so much evidence for creation...I'm not going to attempt to include it all in this post. I plan to write many essays and research papers on a variety of topics which will include creation vs. evolution. I will try to post them here. I will have to post some of them in parts since I recently learned my research papers should be at least 10 pages long. At first, I thought...Yikes! That's long! But then, I realized it would be a wonderful challenge and I'm excited to do it!
Hi, my name is Alyssa and I am a 15 year old homeschooling girl who is saved by God's grace and wants to live a life that is pleasing to Him. I strongly desire, if it is God's will, to be a freelance writer, author, and film-maker for the glory of God and the furtherance of His kingdom. I write for Growing in Grace Magazine(http://www.growingingraceonline.com/).
