Pro-choice or pro-abortion?

Here is an interesting article on Tim Tebow, his commercial and his lifestyle.
(http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/02/01/AR2010020102067.html)
I think this article makes an interesting point about "Pro-Choice" people. That really, in the truth of the word, they are not pro-choice. Because choice implies that both options are right. Meaning abortion and keeping the baby (Pro-life) are both equally good. But with most pro-choice people they focus on abortion as the only right way, and are upset when we present the other choice of life. Like if you all remember the huge debates going on right before the Super Bowl of Tebow's commercial. (If you don't, look it up, it will be a good read.) Well to quote the article his commercial was labeled "extraordinarily offensive and demeaning" by the National Organization for Woman. Watch the commercial and tell me what is so offensive about it? If they stood by their name, then this would only be another presentation of a choice that would be equally right and good to abortion. Let me know what you think!

Best Apple Pie Ever!!!

Well.. usually I only post recipis to my other blog. (The one I share with Sarah) But this recipi is so good that I had to share it with this blog. So here you are!

1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust deep dish pie
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
5 cups thinly sliced apples
2/3 cup white sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon lemon juice 2
0 caramels, halved
2 tablespoons milk

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
1) To Make Taffy: In a small bowl combine brown sugar, melted butter or margarine, and 1/3 cup flour. Mix well and set aside.
2) To Make Apple Filling: Place apples in a large bowl. Add white sugar, 3 tablespoons flour, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Toss until all ingredients are mixed well and apples are thoroughly coated.
3)Spoon half of apple filling into pastry-lined deep-dish pan. Top with half of caramels and half of taffy mixture. Repeat process with remaining apple filling, caramels and taffy mixture. Place top pastry over filling and seal well (this is very important--if edges are not sealed, caramel will leak out all over). Cut steam vents and brush top crust with milk or light cream.
4) Cover pie with foil and place on a baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil from pie and bake for another 20 to 25 minutes, until crust is golden. Serve warm.

Living Eternally

A friend posted this on facebook the other day. Wow! How often I forget what we are really living for. Thanks for the reminder. We are here for a bigger purpose then just for ourselves.

“Our days are numbered. One of the primary goals in our lives should be to prepare for our last day. The legacy we leave is not just in our possessions, but in the quality of our lives.” ~Billy Graham

Worry

"When bills are on the eve of falling due, with not a dollar in hand with which to meet them, it is pretty difficult to learn not to worry, although I think I am learning more and more each year that all worry simply consumes, and to no purpose, just so much physical and mental strength that might otherwise be given to effective work." ~ Booker T. Washington. From his autobiography "Up From Slavery." If you haven't read that book I would strongly encourage you to read it. This is a man with incredible character. He changed how African-Americans think, act, and worked, after the civil war. He should be a role model for the youth of America. Anyhow, it is a good book. I am a little more then half way through it.

Love story

For my sister's birthday this year we dressed up for a "fancy" dinner. So I was told to make myself look like Taylor Swift. So here is my impression of Taylor. Photo credit goes to Laura Beyer, who did an awesome job putting this together. I think the hair matches as far as style goes... but nothing else. I look weird in this picture.

To Save A Life

We watched “How to Save a Life” the other day, I really liked it. I think it addresses some very important issues, such as: Suicide, in groups, leadership, life, ect. Even though the covered a lot of ground, I don’t think it was to spread. The story flowed very well. I did have a problem with some of the “Jesus talk” and some of the “worldly” things they brought it. I don’t think every movie has to be totally Christian, I do believe they add some unnecessary stuff. I think it is incredible how much you can change the world by just being a friend. I have definitely learned that one this year. It is an important message to send, especially to the youth of today. Also I liked how he gave up some of his dream to do what was really important. It was very well done for a first film. Overall I would give it 3.5 to a 4. If you watch expect to cry. 
