I am extremely sad today. Many of you may not be aware, but Wichita, Kansas is the abortion capital of the world. Abortions from 6 weeks up to 39 1/2 weeks are performed here. The blood of many babies are shed here on a daily basis.
Dr. George Tiller is the performer of the all term abortions. I have experienced an abortion at the hand of Dr. George Tiller and have experienced the forgiveness of our Savior, Jesus for the destruction of the life that grew inside me.
However, today, this morning, in this man's very church, a person stepped inside and shot Dr. George Tiller dead. I am extremely saddened by this. I do not know this man's story of why but . . .
Romans 12:19 says "Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, "VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY," says the Lord." (NASB ©1995)
Some would say this is a huge step forward for those apposed to abortion. I on the other hand feel this is a huge step backwards. This man's family may never come to know the saving grace found in Jesus Christ after this event.
However, one thing I know for sure and certain, Mr. Tiller has now stood before the Almighty and faced his judgement.
As we all will. We know not the hour or the day. You may know God, but do you have a personal relationship with Jesus?

(One more thing - It is Monday morning in Wichita, Kansas - the cry of the unborn is silent today. I rejoice.)

Well said. I have my own beliefs but I know that it is not my judgements that matter towards anyone. HE is the only one that matters when it comes down to it.
Very powerful, dear friend. Thank you for your words today.
I salute your courage at being up front and honest about such a painful but important part of your history. It may help heal another who has gone thru the same experience.
God's forgiveness is as important a part of the abortion question as is the right and wrong of the basic act. I try to remember that I don't know everything about what may appear black and white! While I believe it is up to each of us to make good choices, it is not for us to judge another's choices. Jesus Christ can and does forgive and restore! We only need to turn to Him!
This has been a difficult day for me. So many emotions. One thing I want to stress is that although the act of abortion is legal according to man's laws, it is sin according to God's law. God was not a part of my life at that time but that does not mean I am not held accountable. I believe that when I stand at the Judgement Seat of Christ, He will show me the child I aborted on August 8th of 1988 and I will be held accountable. Will He cast me into the lake of fire? No, because I have accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior and I have repented and asked forgiveness. But . . . I will long to hold that little one in my arms . . . as I have since that day.
I had heard this on the radio today...very sad, just like you said, in that this man faced the Creator of Life Himself and was held accountable for his sin. We must pray that his family is not caught up in the fanaticism or whatever the case of the person who did this, but rather see the need for Christ in their lives.
I too salute your courage in giving your testimony on this...I also agree with you that this was not a good act by the man that did this. I may not agree with Dr Tiller's profession, but I will not judge and I don't believe that his life should have been taken by any human...My heart goes out to his family, and I pray that they too know our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!!
I think you know that I too am in the Sunflower state and I was sickened yesterday by the comments people were posting on FB about how "us fake Christians should practice what we preach" UHH that is one of my biggest pet peeves!!! I hate the back lash it brings to the real Christian community and the fact that WE would not murder!!
You are such a strong woman...I knew it from the time we met. I was very disturbed as well, learning of this news. Shock I guess. I certainly did not agree with him or his practice, but totally agree that we have taken a step backwards...I pray that his family will find peace and the true meaning of God's Love thru this ordeal. That man totally gave Christians a bad name....But we must carry on, take the persecution and continue to stand on the solid rock of GOD's word!
LOVE YA SISTER!!!!!
Just a little somthing for my good buddy!!!!
Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more. And where these have been forgiven, there is no longer any sacrifice for sin.
Hebrews 10:17-18
Your post touched my heart. How very brave of you to give your testimony. The Lord is so faithful, and I know you will rejoice the moment you hold that little one in your arms. What a wonder to know that for all these years the Lord himself has cared for your child. No hands could have been better.
God Bless and Keep you dear friend.
