Messed up yesterday and didn't post. So today I'm determined to get something down. I'm still so black/white that if I stop doing something for a couple of days, I probably won't ever do it again.
Read a beautiful post by a woman visiting her foster child in Nigeria. http://www.aholyexperience.com/2013/06/why-you-are-where-you-are-for-such-a-time-as-this/ I am totally convicted. I've known for a while that I live in the palace, but I forget that there are things I can do to help Mordecai. God, please help me to help.
Fasting today as the Church (there's only one capitol in my particular flock!) opens a fortnight of prayer and fasting that the government will back off from trying to force us to provide abortion and birth control as part of our insurance. If this law remains in place, the result will be that the Church will no longer be able to perform our corporal works of mercy: hospitals, adoption centers, schools, colleges, etc. I think that this move by government is directly fueled by an anti-Catholicism that reminds me of the beginning of Hitler's government's attacks on the Jewish people. I pray that God will turn their hearts, or barring that, that the U.S. will experience something like Atlas Shrugged. I don't think that people in this country realize how much good the Church does. I hope that our nation will understand the value of the Church's contributions and the unfairness of this prosecution and turn away from the relentless hostility that is so common today.
