The Master Plan

Call it God, call it Universal Intelligence, call it whatever you want.  An organizing force or being beyond our comprehension set each of our lives into motion.  This organizing force or being that I choose to call God granted each of us His animating spark of life for reasons known only to Him.  The free will we were granted, along with the gift of life, allows us to choose the direction we take for the days we’ve been given.  If we listen closely to the infallible inner voice that resides deep within each of us, we will find our purpose and devote ourselves to our role in His master plan.  It takes longer for some of us than others to discover our role.  Some of us never do.  I was well into my fifties before I realized that my calling in this life was to protect children and to end the elective killing of them by the world’s abortion providers.

My calling has become my obsession and I struggle daily to understand why I was chosen to do this.  I’ve been blessed and cursed with a vivid imagination that allows me to feel the pain and to hear the silent screams of the abortion industry’s tiny victims.  I can see the assembly line of death that ends the beating of thousands of little hearts every day.  I see through their tiny eyes what they see as the deadly instrument that will kill them moves closer, knowing that they are helpless and must depend entirely upon others to defend their Right to life.  I can feel the sense of doom that I know some babies feel as their mother walks into an abortion clinic, and the fear they feel as the procedure that will kill them begins.   I cry daily for every dead child and try to understand what their role is in the master plan. I hug my grandsons and know that nothing in my life is more important than fighting to end the practice of abortion and shining the light of truth on the culture of death that allows our children to be legally killed.

The end result of God’s master plan is known only to Him.  It will play out at His timing.  Those among us who feel that the elective killing of our unborn children is justified are saying with their actions that God made a mistake when He granted the gift of life to a child that dies by abortion.  By their actions they are deciding who should live and who should die, even while they embrace the gift of life they were given.  Therein lies the mystery of mysteries.  God could end the practice of abortion in the wink of an eye, but He allows it play out and leaves it to us to find the solution.  I accept on faith that His master plan is flawless and commit the rest of my life to performing my role to the best of my ability.

Every day as I work at the job that makes me money, I think about the job I have chosen, and  was chosen for; a job that I want no compensation for, other than results.  The master plan may be for me to achieve measurable results towards ending abortion; I don’t know.   All I know is that I’m doing what I know in my heart I am here at this time and this place to do.

Letters to the President

Letter to President Obama #98

The White House

1600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW

Washington, D.C.  20500

Attn:    President Barack Obama

 November 8, 2014

 Mr. President:

BS and big words will only take you so far.  At some point you have to actually do something of substance.  You recently said that every one of your policies were on the ballot this year.  You were right.  And last Tuesday every single one of them was repudiated by me and my fellow Americans.  You came into office promising hope and change, and now after 6 years of incompetent leadership and failed policies, we are all just hoping for change.

I’m ashamed to be living under the leadership of the most abortion-friendly President in history.  During the first 6 years of your Presidency over 7 million unborn children have been killed by Planned Parenthood, the world’s largest killer of children, and their colleagues in America’s abortion industry.  Not only have you done nothing to stop the killing, you have actively promoted Planned Parenthood’s agenda.  You have even gone so far as to say “God bless Planned Parenthood.”  I don’t want to speak for God, but I don’t think He is throwing out a whole lot of blessings to an organization that kills hundreds of thousands of innocent children every year.

Mr. President, during the first 6 years of your Presidency the American taxpayers have unwillingly shelled out over $3 billion to Planned Parenthood.  How many hungry children could have been fed with the $3 billion Planned Parenthood used to kill them?  While the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act sat on Harry Reid’s desk for the last year and a half over 1.5 million unborn children died in America’s abortion mills.  Something is terribly wrong in America when the Senate Majority Leader is forced to sit on a bill designed to save pain-capable babies from agonizing death by dismemberment just so the President won’t have to explain why he vetoed it.

I’ve asked Harry Reid to allow a vote on the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act several times, and he has done nothing.  I’ve asked Mitch McConnell to do the same when he assumes Leadership.  I’m confident that the Senate, under Mitch McConnell, will pass this bill and send it to you for your signature.  You can then explain to the American people why you don’t feel compelled to prevent over 20,000 pain-capable unborn children from being brutally killed every year by your friends in the abortion industry.

Mr. President, even you know that killing children as a matter of convenience, and for a fee is wrong.  Allowing the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act to become law will be a small, but critically important step towards ending abortion in America.  Do the right thing and sign this bill into law.

As always, my letters to you are published on my pro-life blog at www.prolifepoppop.com.  Write back and I’ll publish it, unedited.

Letter to Mitch McConnell #1

Senator Mitch McConnell

317 Russell Senate Office Building

Washington, D.C.  20510

  November 7, 2014

 Senator McConnell:

As the presumptive Majority Leader of the United States Senate, you have a lot of work to do.  You have to undo 6 years of incompetent, corrupt leadership by Harry Reid and President Obama.  Important legislation that your predecessor would not allow to be voted upon must be brought to the Senate and allowed to have an up or down vote.  The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act cleared the House nearly a year and a half ago and has yet to be brought up for a vote in the Senate.

Senator, I respectfully request that your first act as Senate Majority Leader be the introduction of the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act for consideration by the full Senate.  Nothing you do on your first day as Majority Leader could be more important than allowing a vote on a bill designed to save thousands of innocent children from suffering horribly painful deaths every year.  Every member of the Senate knows that killing innocent children is wrong.  Make them take a public stand for or against allowing pain-capable unborn children to be legally killed in America.

Planned Parenthood and America’s abortion industry have lobbied and will continue to lobby heavily against the passage of this bill.  Killing children is how they make money and they will stop at nothing to deal with anything that threatens their bottom line.  President Obama has promised to veto it if it comes to his desk.  Passing the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act and overriding the President’s veto won’t be easy; few things in life worth doing are.

Last Tuesday Americans sent a clear message to you and your colleagues that business as usual has worn out its welcome.  The majority of the Senate is now pro-life.  You have the power to end the grisly practice of late-term abortion.  America will be watching to see if you and your caucus have the will and the courage of conviction to do right by the most innocent among us, our unborn children.

Senator McConnell, if men and women of honor and integrity know of an evil practice and do nothing to stop it, they offer their tacit endorsement of it.  Not taking action on the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act would be tantamount to signing the death warrants for over 20,000 American children every year.   I urge you to pass the bill, override the President’s veto, and to stand proudly on the side of life.

All my letters are published on my prolife blog at www.prolifepoppop.com.  Should you choose to reply I’ll publish it, unedited.

Letter to Harry Reid #5

Senator Harry Reid

522 Hart Senate Office Building

Washington, D.C.  20510

 November 5, 2014

  Senator Reid:

Over the course of the past year I’ve written to you several times, urging you to allow the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act to be voted upon in the Senate.  My letters, predictably, have gone unanswered and you have ignored pleas from your colleagues to allow a vote on this life-saving piece of legislation. Your motives have been clear; protect the President at all costs from having to veto a bill designed to save the lives of innocent children.

Senator, as a result of yesterday’s mandate against the policies you support, you’ll be out of a job in less than 2 months.  Why not leave on a high note by standing up for America’s unborn children?  Sir, as I’m sure you know, the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act would ban abortions of children 20 weeks old or older since they can feel the pain of being systematically dismembered as they are being killed.  About 20,000 children are killed in this manner every year in America.  While 20,000 is a relatively small percentage of the more than 1 million unborn children killed every year by America’s abortion industry, every single child is priceless.

Senator Reid, the Senate, under your leadership, has been dubbed the place where bills go to die.  It should not be the place where the lives of innocent children are used as political pawns.  The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act will surely be brought up for a vote by your successor.  It will most assuredly be vetoed by the President and the men and women of both Chambers of Congress will be forced to look inward and to take a public stand for or against life in the override effort.  Delaying this exercise will only insure that more innocent children will die a needless, agonizing death.

Sir, what is the downside of taking action to save innocent lives?  Why should the greatest country on earth allow its unborn children to be killed by the millions?  Senator, the House passed the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act in June of 2013.  During the interim, while you stonewalled every attempt to bring it up for a vote in the Senate, thousands of innocent children have been slaughtered.

Senator, if I have to beg, I will.  Sir, I beg you to allow the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act to be brought up for a vote.  Your legacy as the Senate Majority Leader is in your hands.  You can be remembered as a man who got nothing done or the Leader who finally stood up for America’s children.

Perspective

The last few weeks have been a very stressful time for me at work, and based on my workload, I don’t see it getting any better any time soon.  At this stage of my life I’ve learned to look at the big picture and view things in perspective during times like this.  While I may not be having fun at work these days, it could be worse.  Every day that I think I’m overworked or over stressed more than 3,000 unborn children are murdered in their mothers’ wombs in America. It seems that in the big scheme of things my problems just aren’t that important.

My stressful job provides me the means to contribute to worthy charities and to spoil my grandsons.  I look at every day at work as 1 less day I have to wait before I can pursue my goal of working on a full time basis to end abortion.  Knowing that 3,000 innocent children will die every day that I fail to convince the abortion industry to close its doors is actually much more stressful to me than the travail I encounter at work.  Not an hour goes by that I don’t think about the suffering and death that our unborn children endure every day.

My problems pale in comparison to those of millions of innocent civilians in the Middle East living in the path of the death and destruction being wrought by the brutal thugs of ISIS.  While I worry about bid deadlines and signing contracts, they worry about having their families killed by a gang of social misfits who think it’s cool to wreak murder and havoc in the name of a twisted ideology.  Unfortunately, murder and havoc aren’t the exclusive domain of murderous goons like ISIS.  Planned Parenthood and America’s abortion industry will end over a million innocent lives this year; far more than the Jihadist lunatics of ISIS could ever dream of.

Perspective is corrupted by ignorance and denial.  The average American is rightly appalled by the beheading of an innocent journalist but blissfully ignorant of the fact that during the week the beheading story  controls the news cycle over 20,000 innocent children will die in our nation’s abortion mills.  The death of one innocent human being is reported and analyzed 24/7, with the pundits debating its root cause and remedies; and all the while America’s abortion industry continues to churn out a steady stream of dead children.  In a sane world the weekly murder of over 20,000 children would garner more attention than the latest attempt by losers like ISIS to incite terror among the masses. It all comes down to perspective.

My problems at work will pass.  The children who had the misfortune of entering a Planned Parenthood clinic today will be dead forever.  Perspective is all about how we view any given set of circumstances or events against another .  A bad day at work, or a bad day at the abortion clinic; which one really matters?
