Many people opt to give up a favorite food or drink -- chocolate, coffee, or soda, for example. Naturally, I part ways with cauliflower each and every year. It's also a common practice to give alms during Lent, to be mindful of those less fortunate than us. I figured I'd make it easy for you, since it might be hard to think in your caffeine-deprived state come Ash Wednesday.

We embrace differences when they fall within our market-driven, politically correct framework but rarely when they disrupt our status quo.

I like to pick my meal when we go out to eat. I like to pick which pair of grubby sweatpants I will lounge around in all day when it's cold and rainy. I like to pick what station to listen to on the radio. Those are all choices, and I like having them. But when people use the term "pro-choice," they're not talking about things like food, clothes, or music. They are talking about one thing, and one thing only -- abortion. So as we prepare to mark the 39th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the court decision which legalized abortion in the US, if you start hearing people talk about "choice," ask them what the mean by that.<br /><br /><div></div>Kit Kathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04399886192070893824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4266722991242143532.post-16670321951931444692011-12-31T20:35:00.003-05:002012-02-21T21:59:56.913-05:00Our goal for 2012<span ><span style="font-size: 100%;">Thanks to your overwhelming generosity, more than $2500 has been donated to Lizzy's adoption grant during the 2011 Angel Tree campaign, bringing her total adoption grant to over $3500!

In that time, she has seen the cardiologist, ophthalmologist, otolaryngologist, and neurologist, and we have occupational and speech therapists coming to the house to work with her. In a few years she'll go to preschool, and eventually, her doctors will fix that pesky hole in her heart. We are so blessed here to have access to such great medical care and resources. Julia is thriving -- cooing, babbling, rolling over, and her smile lights up the world. <div><br />Lizzy's future is not so bright, however. If Lizzy has not found an adoptive family by the age of 5, odds are she'll be transferred to an institution in a remote section of her country in Eastern Europe, without hope for education or medical care. Today people with Down Syndrome in the US now have a life expectancy of about 60 years. This was not the case 40 or 50 years ago. In the middle of last century, children were placed in institutions, and their life expectancy was about 9 years of age. That is what Lizzy is facing today. YOU can make a difference in Lizzy's future. Each donation to her adoption grant makes it more feasible for a loving family to commit to bringing her home. The cost for adoption in Lizzy's region is $25,000+. Anything we can do to lower that cost for an adoptive family gets Lizzy home sooner. </div></div>Kit Kathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04399886192070893824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4266722991242143532.post-88604898904618767012011-11-28T15:49:00.001-05:002011-11-28T15:52:08.041-05:00Baby Lizzy in the Church Bulletin Again!"In last week’s bulletin we shared news about Reece’s Rainbow, an International Down Syndrome Orphan Ministry, and their current fund raising initiative for a little girl names Lizzy. The future of special needs children like Lizzy, who live (as she does) in Eastern Europe, is lacking the promise of any education or medical treatment after age 5 unless they are adopted by American or Canadian families. Your donations will help support those families interested in adoption who might otherwise fail because of a lack of funds. (The costs are high!) When you donate $35 or more, you will receive a beautiful photo ornament of Lizzy to hang on your tree.

The average cost to adopt a child internationally is $20,000!! Your sponsorship donation for a child can mean they never have to spend another Christmas alone. <br /><br />You DON'T HAVE TO ADOPT to make a difference! Give the "gift of a family" with your generous sponsorship donation this holiday season. <br /><br />With your gift of $35 or more, you will receive a beautiful photo ornament of your sponsored child. This is a special way to "share Christmas" with an orphaned child, and a meaningful, personal gift for someone you love! <br /><br />Reece's Rainbow is a 501(c)3 public charity which promotes the international adoption of children with Down Syndrome exclusively.Kit Kathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04399886192070893824noreply@blogger.com
