When does life begin?

Psalm 51:5    For I was born a sinner--yes, from the moment my mother conceived me.
The Bible makes it clear that life begins at conception, not merely at birth.

What is the value of an unborn child?
Psalm 139:13-16 You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous and how well I know it. You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.

Jeremiah 1:5 I knew you before I formed you in your mother's womb. before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my spokesman to the world.
Before we are Born, God knows us personally and intimately. Who would dare to kill a friend of God, even an unborn friend?

My friend Betty

I've lost a good friend and customer. Betty Henderson passed away on Tuesday. Her funeral will be at Milton Shealy's here in Batesburg on Sunday at 2pm. She had a bad heart, pneumonia and strep. I spoke with her last Friday, she said she would try to see me this week. She was here so much and it really hurts to be here and know she won't be back. She will be missed greatly.
In times like this, don't forget that God is in control and that He wants us to be a comfort to others.

When we sustain a heartbreaking loss,

When grief overwhelms our soul,

The Savior who gave Himself on the cross

Reminds us that He's in control.  -D. De Haan

Pray for her friends and family at this time of loss. In every desert of despair God has an oasis of comfort.

Virginity

I heard a lady on the radio, talking about her Grandmother and how she showed her just how important her virginity is. She told her "you have a car, brand new, it was a gift. Would you give it to a stranger? Your brother or sister? mother or father? What about your boyfriend? Your virginity is worth so much more than a car, so why would you give it to just anyone, even if you (think you) love them."
I may not have gotten that exactly right, but close.
Virginity is such a precious gift to give to your spouse as a wedding gift on your first wedding night. Males and females!
