'those people' are back

Yesterday, 'on the 36th anniversary of the Roe vs. Wade Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion, a man smashed his SUV into the entrance of the Planned Parenthood office in St. Paul this morning' (Star Tribune). A few days before that there were 'Street Preachers' at the bus hub at UMD all day telling students to 'stop sinning and repent!' and then the pro-life sign-holders came, taking posts across the street with horrifying signs. Tuesday Barak Obama took office as the President of the United States, let the status wars begin on facebook (...is crying tears of joy! ...we're all doomed! Doomed I say! ....)

I was sad to see these things on the news, at my work, on facebook, on blogs. I do think life is sacred. I do think every baby deserves to live and have a loving home. I think people should stop sinning and repent. I also think you can be a democrat or a republican and still love Jesus. I know, I'm a heretic. Or I just love Jesus. I love Jesus. I. love. Jesus!

Everyone has their 'pet project;' republicans have democrats and vice versa, pro-lifers have the pro-choice, street preachers have... everyone who walks down their street. And I have all of them. So... I started this post thinking how they have it all wrong, every one of them and I just learned I am one of them because I feel this way about them. Nice. I guess I'm still working on this love stuff.
