I love the Olympics. Nanci and I were jumping and screaming yesterday when our American guys came from behind to win the 4 x 100 freestyle relay. An amazing race. Wow!
Sadly, last week China revoked the visa for Joey Cheek, Olympic gold-medalist and co-founder of Team Darfur, a coalition of 400 athletes from around the world speaking out about the atrocities in Darfur, Sudan.
The protests of China as host of the Olympics come from a wide variety of people from many countries, on a variety of issues, ranging from Tibet to supplying arms to the corrupt government of Sudan in its genocidal war on Darfur (see previous post), to religious liberty.
The video below features Gianna Jessen, who I blogged about back in June in my post Survivor of Late-Term Abortion Comments on Barack Obama. (Special thanks to Mary, who brought my attention to this in her comment on an earlier blog. By the way, since I'm now sharing a sequence of blogs that feature videos, I welcome any such suggestions from readers; I read all your comments, and greatly appreciate them.)
Today's video is John Piper talking about the issue of abortion. Y
It's now less than 6 weeks from the election. I have a few more blogs I want to do on the candidates, related to the prolife issue.
A year and a half ago, when I first heard about Barack Obama, I got excited. I really wanted to support him. An evangelical Christian told me Obama was prolife. I didn’t care that Obama was a Democrat. I wanted a pro-life, pro-environment, pro-racial equality president who took seriously our need to care for the poor and defend the needy.
Granted, I also wanted someone who wasn’t a New Age anti-industry activist with a “Meat is Murder” bumper sticker. I wanted someone who is committed to national defense, but knows when not to go on offense. I wanted ...
Four days ago I watched a short film called "Volition" that is extremely powerful and well done. It's a great investment of fifteen minutes. I watched it twice. I highly recommend that you grab a cup of coffee and view this, undistracted. Maybe have your family watch it together after dinner. I really like this one!
It was filmed mainly in three days in August on a small budget, to be entered in a short film contest. There's not much info on it on the web yet, so likely you haven't heard of it. But when you ...
Abortion-survivor Gianna Jessen will be coming to my home church, Good Shepherd Community Church, and speaking this coming weekend, January 10-11, for an early Sanctity of Human Life Sunday. Nanci and I plan to be at the Saturday night service at 5:30 PM. The Sunday services are 9:00 AM and 10:45 AM.
This is a great opportunity to hear firsthand Gianna's incredible survival story. I hope you'll consider bringing a friend, pro-choice or pro-life, to hear her story and the truth about abortion.
If you aren't familiar with Gianna, you can visit her website ...
NBC rejected a Catholic prolife commercial from being shown during the Super Bowl. Here it is. Definitely worth watching!

Here are a couple of good articles that talk about the Obama administration and abortion:
Rejecting abortion using Obama's argument
John Piper Responds to Obama on Abortion
And here's a great letter, written by Pastor Ron Jones, to our nation's new president:
I rejoice in the fact that an African-American has been elected, a true affirmation of our nation’s fundamental premise that all persons are created ...
A friend recently sent me a link to a strong prolife blog post written by someone I would call an "outside the box" prolifer, in Hollywood. I've often said that one of my favorite prolifers of all time is Nat Hentoff, atheist editor of the Village Voice. Nobody could write him off as a conservative Sunday School teacher. This guy doesn’t fit the image either.
Actor Gary Graham first appeared in a feature film role opposite George C. Scott in "Hardcore." He's been in numerous feature firms as well as many TV movies and series. He had ...
