She could have told them. She just didn’t.
telling it on FB makes one housewives of whatever city. Stop broadcasting your stuff for all and deal with your issues in house, jees......
Tragic tale, but just goes to show how the Lord transforms people
No. Liberals need to be “schooled” and FB reaches a lot of them.
How about, "Abortion is murder and murder is wrong and I know because I murdered my first child, but God can forgive even a murderer if you truly repent and ask His forgiveness."
I’m not a big fan of people telling their children of their horrendous mistakes in youth. Children need to be children and expect the best of their parents. That’s just me, of course.
I generally agree, UNLESS there is a possibility of them finding out from someone else.
There are mistakes I made as a youth that no one else knows about and no one ever will. Then there are mistakes that I made that were known to other family members. I told my children about these because I did not want them to someday hear about them from a cousin.
12 Now when he heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew into Galilee; 13 and leaving Nazareth he went and dwelt in Caper′na-um by the sea, in the territory of Zeb′ulun and Naph′tali, 14 that what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled: 15 “The land of Zeb′ulun and the land of Naph′tali, toward the sea, across the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles— 16 the people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, and for those who sat in the region and shadow of death light has dawned.” 17 From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

Luke 5:
27 After this he went out, and saw a tax collector, named Levi, sitting at the tax office; and he said to him, “Follow me.” 28 And he left everything, and rose and followed him. 29 And Levi made him a great feast in his house; and there was a large company of tax collectors and others sitting at table[d] with them. 30 And the Pharisees and their scribes murmured against his disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?” 31 And Jesus answered them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick; 32 I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”

Luke 15:
3 So he told them this parable: 4 “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost, until he finds it? 5 And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 6 And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost.’ 7 Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.
Take it easy.
It got me thinking about a friend of mine from long ago who I just reconnected with. She had an abortion when I knew her (cut me off when I objected) but now has grown daughters. I’d cut my tongue out before telling them. Unfortunately, my friend is probably still happily pro-abortion and has probably told her kids. As a parent, I just couldn’t do that. Just me, I’m afraid.
well we’ll just have to agree to disagree. FB is bad.
What about mass murder? Can we be forgiven if we kill all the leftists in America?
I really would like to know.
:p
Always.
What a horribly, devastatingly awful thing to have to tell one’s children.
IMHO, even a mass murderer can be forgiven by God if he recognizes his sin, truly repents, and prays for His forgiveness. But that doesn't mean that he can or should be forgiven by man.
David Berkowitz, a.k.a. the "Son of Sam" comes to mind. It is possible that he has truly repented. If so, then I believe that God has forgiven him. But that doesn't mean that he should ever get out of prison. A truly repentant murderer can do a lot of good spending the rest of his life in prison.
I agree.
Even if Pol Pot converted he still deserved to be deposed and executed.
Act of self defense?
The more people understand and speak out in all avenues the better. You are part of the problem and she is courageous enough to be discuss her deepest shame.
Pray America wakes up
What a story!
Wonderful story and I think she is incredibly brave, but I have one question.
Where is her husband, where is the father of those children?
If that kind of an emotional bomb blew up in my house, I would be right there to help pick up the pieces and support everyone. Where is he?
