I had a dream that we were going to meet my daughters teacher for the next school year. Kinda like a meet the teacher event.
She seemed really nice and had spilled meal worms for a pet tarantula on the floor. I was helping her pick them up and she laughed and mentioned that the adhd makes her a bit clumsy.
I told her that her and Rachel will probably hit it off then because she's adhd too.
She seemed like a great teacher and we really hit it off.
I introduced Rachel to her and she said she wanted to ask her some economics questions as she would more than likely be going into the gifted program.
I responded that she could and was telling her that Rachel was able to understand some pretty high level concepts surrounding economics.
She kinda ignored me and spoke right over to me directly to Rachel as if I wasn't there.
She asked her some questions and I don't remember what they were but the thing I do remember is after she was done questioning Rachel she explained to me that "the party" likes to start these kids off young with these concepts so they can market themselves to the party to show the skills they can contribute and how they can be useful.
A red flag immediately went up for me but I played along to hear more.
I was about to ask her if the party was a conservative thing but before I could she emphasized that it was a very liberal thing and that most conservative and Christian parents are totally not on board with it.
I finally decided to speak up and was saying how we are Christians and how we don't believe in communist values.
But to build a bridge I said that I do appreciate the social safety net in place for the vulnerable but I do think it could be executed in a better way as government tends to ruin everything they mess with.
When I said we were Christians the atmosphere in the room changed and the teachers attitude totally changed towards me. She became hostile and antagonistic and scolded me for being late to the event.
I tried to show grace, knowing that she wasn't a believer and didn't understand how to be loving right now.
I apologized for being late and was just trying to be really kind and humble.
After the meeting I went to find my husband to tell him what had just happened.
He was supposed to be in this big room where all our friends were hanging out but I didn't see him.
A guy friend of his invited me to come sit with him and I came over and sat down on the couch with him but then he started to make a subtle pass at me and I politely scooted away a bit. Then he went in to try and kiss me and I was about to yell at him about being married but as I looked at his face, I realized it was the face of my husband. I wondered how I could have missed that it was him all along and not a stranger. Then I thought about how he probably thought I was mad at him when I kept scooting away and blocking his advances.
Then the dream ended.

Abortion
My thoughts are that abortion is the shedding of innocent blood and from reading scripture we know that God hates the shedding of innocent blood.
As for the argument about God giving the people the right to choose and who are we to take away someone's right to choose, well then by that logic, who are we to take away someone's right to choose to steal, murder, etc?
God may have given us the right to choose but He also gave us the right to enact the rule of law, to keep moral order and to decree consequence upon someone who harms another human being.
We are not taking away the right to choose by decreeing it unlawful. We are adding lawful consequence. The person is still free to break the law as they they are in other crimes such us murder and theft. There are just consequences for it.
Just because we cannot see that tiny human, it makes them no less human. For the scripture tells us that God knitted us together in the secret place of the womb. That we are wonderfully and fearfully made. Created for a purpose.
Who are we to allow another human's purpose to be coldly stripped from them on another person's whim?
Would we do this with any other murder? Say it's their choice and who are we to intervene?
As for the argument on having the right to kill a human conceived in rape, why should rape (one horrible crime) justify the shedding of innocent blood (another horrible crime)?
Not to mention the secondary emotional suffering the victim now goes through, having made an emotionally charged, rash decision to kill an innocent part of her own heritage and later being haunted by a decision that cannot be undone.
Finally, I would ask if it's justifiable for the rape victim to be able to kill her rapist? Why or why not?
If it's not justifiable for her to murder the rapist who is not innocent, then how much less justifiable it is for her to murder the child, who is innocent!
