The macro view of what is happing in the world is so vast and difficult to see that taking just one view is not good. I can’t understand the global view which includes Russia vs Ukraine or Israel vs Iran/Palestine but locally our politics are also so diverse that to choose sides is suicide. I am prolife and there is no debate for me. To drill down and decide what that means is very diverse. While I support prolife, I am of the mind that it is a decision that should be made by a prospective mother and her doctor, in the case of abortion. The decision of yes verses no is not mine to make. It should always be between mother, doctor and GOD. There are so many issues to consider and saving baby verses mom or viceversa should not be made by the general public. This is just one issue that requires lots of thought but should not be politicized. Where are you?
The political umbrella covers a country’s behaver but should be held sacred. Within the law, things all things sacred are between you and GOD. While I might plan to abort an unwanted pregnancy that is a personal decision between me and God alone. Not for you to know about unless I am asking you for money to pay for my decision. If you have no skin in the game, then go about your business. However, if I need financial support to carry out my decision than you defiantly have a say. But that is to say ” I will help, or no I will not” end of story. If you want to yell out and say, “this is happening”, and I don’t agree than that’s called your freedom of speech and I am OK with that. If you have not loss any financial resources than it is just an internal moral or religious belief you want to voice. That is your right. But not for you to decide what I do. When life begins and when no life exist is measured by opinion. To pull the plug on a brain-dead elder is up to family not you. It may be mercy killing but still murder. No difference with an unborn child but not your call. Where are you?
We are currently seeing the poorest of the poor yelling for help. There are thousands and sadly they do not know what they don’t know. Help is out there but they must understand where that help is. The basic map for survival is reliance on yourself. Secondly is communication. Let folks know you are willing to do anything necessary to survive but need help. Offering sexual pleasure can be a means of revenue and although immoral, illegal and despicable it has become necessary for some. The point here is to look at what is necessary to survive and how desperate one is to survive. What would you do to keep a family from eating out of a dumpster? What would you do to help a young woman who got pregnant out of blind love, lust or ignorance and got no help from the man? As a caring individual you would do all you can to help without jeopardizing your own better welfare. I strongly believe that there are millions who would do whatever is necessary to help. We do it by collectively by establishing laws we demand our politicians to help establish and for the government to manage. i.e. Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid & SNAP. Has the cost to provide these services gotten totally out of control? Defiantly! Has corruption taken away from folks desperate for help, yes. There is so much oversight necessary to ensure help is funneled to those applying for help that the vetting process has gotten too lengthy and life has been lost in the process. So, until as a nation we establish rules to help everyone needing help and a vetting system that catches corruption it will fall on individuals like you, who care, to pick up the slack. I won’t get into the millions of Americans who just don’t care. There are millions and our elected officials are among them. The Bible suggests that the poor will always be among you. That may be but should not be in the United States, not even in North America.
For those of you who follow my post you know that HPLA Charities was established to help those overlooked by many of us. It is disappointing to see that number growing while billions of dollars go to test a rocket. In March of 2016 our volunteers were plentiful and resources readily available. While the strength of the economy has had its ups and downs things are relatively stable. The downside is folks have been turned off and gotten an attitude that is sad to see in America. They just don’t care. There may be ligament reasons to have this attitude. I don’t see it. The mission of HPLA has not changed and the work to help the poor is increasing. We will not stop trying to help nor will we stop asking for you to contribute. We don’t pay staff, period. Every dollar you give goes to help folks in need. It is infuriating to see national organizations turn folks down because a project fund has been exhausted and yet payrolls for leaders are never exhausted. It is a shame that buckets full of funds in other areas are not transferred so all funds are exhausted equally. HPLA helps ensure those calling us are not begging for food and water, but many times it is that bad. Too many times. Our volunteers have taken out of their own pockets many times, such that they are themselves are in need. It appears those that need the most give the most proportionately. If you have one dollar left over at the end of every month and especially at the end of every year you are wealthier than many. If you have hundreds left over and saving accounts and investment funds your rich. All I ask of you is five or ten dollars every month. Every dollar received monthly is matched. You first and the needy second. Where are you?
