Prayer Request

Dear Prayer Warriors (I know you are out there),

Please pray for our family friend, Nancy.  Long story, made short:  Since September, this beautiful, 50 year old mom of three has been fighting the fight of her life.  She has an amazing sense of humor, trust in God and strength.  Please pray for a miracle.  Here's what's happened:

• September - Ovarian Mass the size of a cantaloupe removed, cancerous
• November - Lung Mass found, testing started including biopsies of lungs, lymph nodes and bone marrow
• December - One lung removed, non-smokers lung cancer confirmed
• January - Hip pain where bone marrow biopsy had been done, unable to sleep
• February - Chemo started, hip pain continued, so MRI done to investigate problem
• March - Diagnosed with Stage IV non-smokers Lung Cancer, found more cancer sprouts in remaining lung (thanks to MRI done in Feb.)  Added two more drugs to Chemo Round 3 of 6.

Obviously, she's one tough lady.  Please lift her up in prayers. She says she's not going down without a fight.

The Truth Comes Out About Planned Parenthood

They claim they provide health services to women, but here's the legal truth (read the full article here):

What is that ideology, exactly? To find out, you have to dig through Planned Parenthood’s tax forms because the group certainly isn’t going to tell you. According to its most recent tax filing, the purpose of Planned Parenthood Federation of America is to provide leadership in “[a]chieving, through informed individual choice, a U.S. population of stable size in an optimum environment; in stimulating and sponsoring relevant biomedical, socio-economic, and demographic research.”
So it is, in reality, a population-control organization. Funny, this was never mentioned in the gauzy $200,000 advertising campaign launched last week. It also doesn’t make it into the “About Us” section of the group’s website, which repeatedly claims its mission is to protect women’s health, when in fact the real mission is to keep the birth rate at whatever level the leaders believe it should be.
To hear Planned Parenthood and their supporters, they exist only to provide Pap smears or breast exams or prenatal services. In fact, President Cecile Richards has gone so far as to erroneously imply that they provide mammograms. (A spokesperson for the group confirmed to me that this is untrue.)
Planned Parenthood officials are allowed to believe whatever they want and to pursue whatever goals they choose. But their dishonesty in how they present their organization to the public, along with ignoring basic statistics about their area of expertise, makes you wonder what else they are hiding. It’s also hard to deny that they are at core a blindly ideological organization, not a run-of-the-mill charitable nonprofit.

 Of course I'm not at all surprised by this.  This organization is responsible for the death of millions of babies.  They need their funding cut for that alone.  This just put the icing on the cake.  We should not ever be funding an organization that's mission is population control.  I'm just saying..
