I've noticed that everybody that is for abortion has already been born.

There is no attribute more comforting to His children than that of God's sovereignty. Under the most adverse circumstances, in the most severe trials, they believe that sovereignty has ordained their afflictions, that sovereignty overrules them, and that sovereignty will sanctify them all. There is nothing for which the children ought to more earnestly contend to than the doctrine of their Master over all creation-the Kingship of God over all the works of His own hands-the Throne of God and His right to sit upon that throne...for it is God upon the Throne whom we trust.
--C. H. Spurgeon

"Oh yes," answered Lee. "I know. But I was asked my opinion of him, not his opinion of me."
O boy, is there a lesson to us all....
Very good one!

Stonewall Jackson is one of my few earthly heroes. He and Robert E. Lee were genuinely devout men, humble and utterly consecrated to Jesus. And there were men like them on the Northern side, too. That was the greatest tragedy of the War for Southern Independence, or any civil war: you have Christians killing Christians. But the time is coming, and they knew it, when they'll be reunited, without such ugly distractions!
When things aren't going right...go left.
