This year, son expressed an interest in acquiring a tattoo. As I was in the process of reading and re-reading The Bible, I recalled a passage that warned people against defiling their bodies with tattoos. However, I could not specifically recall where I had read this passage in The Bible. Hurriedly and exasperated I searched The Bible to present proof of God’s disgust with tattoos. Finally, after much searching, the passage was found in Leviticus 19:28.
Beginning in August, there was a construction project underway at our home where spouse and I hired construction workers to install on a backyard deck a sun porch. This construction was well worth the cost as the large amount of natural light provided by this room aided in maintaining a good, positive mood for me throughout the seasons of the year but especially in winter and also during the years of home confinement beginning in 2005 to the present day.
Over the course of the past decade and one half, major highway authorities in the States of New York and New Jersey became increasingly oppressive with regard to toll collecting. In the 1980’s, a New York bridge toll discount coupon booklet was sold to daily commuters for a reduced toll when crossing a bridge in the area. This coupon booklet was purchased by placing an order with the attendant at the toll booth. Later and by the early 1990’s, a highway authority banking system was established where commuters desiring a reduced toll for the bridge crossing would be required to place funds in an account (where money was electronically withdrawn) at a location miles away from the bridge crossing. If a highway authority bank account fell below the required funds for toll payment, the commuter was charged an extraordinary fee or penalty for insufficient funds. Also, a deposit for an electronic device was required which one placed on one’s vehicle windshield for scanning at the toll area. Over time and by this year, toll lanes in New York and New Jersey accepting cash payments were greatly reduced and inconveniently positioned for some drivers on the roadway causing an increase in accidents as drivers attempted lane changes to reach a cash toll booth. In addition, many large lighted signs flashing directions, sometimes not in unison at each toll booth, disoriented and further confused many drivers likely leading to additional vehicular accidents.
On September 2, 2002, I wrote a letter to alert forty seven major national newspapers throughout the United States of the urgent need to end abortion. The content of this letter is shown below. This letter has been edited from the original shown in consequencesofabortion.com.
Dear New Editor:
Since 1973, in the United States, a holocaust of 45,000,000 human souls (or developing human beings), have been systematically exterminated with the seemingly “Good Housekeeping” stamp of approval of the United States Government. This translates to a daily execution of 3,500 human lives. As we all know, this horrendous desecration and attack on human life was not even voted on by the people, in a “democratic” society. Basically, it was passed on the opinions of a few people (“special interest groups”) and agreeing “Supreme Court Justices”. Any attempt to overturn Roe vs. Wade was based on the “exception to the rule” rather than common circumstances.This travesty of
