More Than Just Politics

Abortion.
It's a heavy word, best to avoid talking about when at school, coffee shops, or even church congregations sometimes.
Right?
But it's more than a subject a politician can argue the rights and wrongs of in order to get votes from a particular group of citizens that agree.
What does the Bible say about abortion?
First of all, what does the dictionary say? "The deliberate termination of a human pregnancy."
Termination = Murder
Abortion. Is murder.
Some may argue that abortion isn't murder because a pregnancy, a forming child in a mother's womb, isn't an actual human capable of death.
Psalms 139:16 states "Your eyes saw me when I was formless; all my days were written in Your book and planned before a single one of them began."
A child, unborn or not, is a child. It has a soul. God has a plan for them. God already knows them.
My Bible, an Apologetic Study Bible, states some very good questions to challenge with.
If the unborn child is growing, how could she/he not be alive?
If she/he has human parents, how could the child not be human?
Not to mention that the pictures from an ultrasound as the baby is maturing, before birth, those pictures show life. A growing child, waiting to be brought into the world.
Some may argue that abortion isn't MURDER, period.
The Lord commands, "Do not murder."
Murder, be it of a child unborn, is murder. Murder is the killing of innocent human beings. Tell me, how could a child, still being "knit together" by God, be guilty, or anything but innocent?
Some may argue that abortion be allowed for rape or incest.
Well, do two wrongs make a right?
Just because the person who committed the crime inflicted something on the victim, does the victim have the right allow the murder of a child, even unborn?
If a victim murdered the child who was a result of the crime once the child was born and grown, would that not be considered murder?

The final point: Abortion is wrong. Sometimes, people may find an excuse for it, but it is wrong.

Abortion is a heavy matter, and I may be risking a lot by piecing apart and back together this issue. Feel free to write, tweet, or comment me your opinions and I will be sure to get back to you. Or if you don't agree with something I write, get to me and I would be very willing to discuss with you.

Happily Ever After? Please!

Preacher Slyish Rose

Okay, so, yes,  I am a Christian. I go to a small traditional southern Episcopalian church where everyone is family (not really, but it feels pretty darn close!) Well yesterday, the 30th and the first Sunday after Christmas, our Preacher was going to be out of town visiting relatives for Christmas, and so he asked me to deliver the message (also called the sermon or homily.) I just LOVE public speaking! And being able to have the opportunity to teach about Jesus Christ just made my world and taught me so much! It was a sermon about Advent and waiting and how important it is to remain positive amidst all the anxiety! I wrote it myself (its completely original) and does have a few joking comedic parts and parts that relate to my personal life. I hop you enjoy it! Here it is:

Happy Almost 2013!

Ok, so I definitely realize how much our 4 followers have probably missed us ;) we have just been bbaaad. We haven't posted since school started! We've genuinely just gotten so caught up and busy with school, and extracurriculars. But yesterday, it hit me and Teen Wiki: you are never too busy to do a favor for Christ. NEVER. We are sharing our knowledge and our opinions, as well as learning new things every single day! You're never too busy to teach people and learn from people about Christ, our Lord! So it is officially my New Years resolution: Post AT LEAST once a week and keep up the twitter account. Promise! So that is my New Years resolution! I highly recommend that every one have one! Who passes up a chance for improvements ;) it can really help you to stably set a goal, and experience the self satisfaction of carrying it out. It could really change you for the better! So if you DO have a New Years resolution, then comment :) and I genuinely am sorry for not posting, but that will change!

Smart Girl: Bit 2

Okay, so I came to my senses and realized that maybe my Storisomes had been buried under other posts. So, I am giving you guys another piece of my precious writing, in hopes that with the more readers we have accumulated, I will get more feedback. So, with no more "much ado about nothing," here you go.

Smart Girl: Bit 2
By: Teen Wiki

"–You think about it! Paparazzi will be all over me, I’ll be moved to someplace in California or New York or something like that, and I won’t even be able to take a walk with privacy! Besides, they wouldn’t even care about you. Some rich couple with no feelings would probably adopt me just to steal my fame. Some up-shot actors with no humility. Then you would be stuck here alone with Pauline and I’d be stuck somewhere else a thousand miles away!”

“Well then, why’d you show him your stack?” he said. That was so like him. One minute he’ll be celebrating something and the next he’ll be blaming me for the same thing once he figures out it’s not a good thing. Mark’s my thirteen-year-old brother, by the way. He looked after me (which was hardly even necessary) before Pauline found us in the cardboard shack we were left in (by who, we don’t know) in a dark alleyway in Bayonne, New Jersey and took us in. But after it became apparent that I was very precocious, which didn’t take long, she decided that I needed a quiet life to think. So which better place for that than Wyoming, the least populated state in America? Well, then here in Wyoming she put her cooking skills to use and opened a restaurant. No one ever comes but we kind of liked it that way. You’re probably wondering how we make a living then. Well, when the food truck comes over every three months we always pay by my stories or something. I wrote them under a pseudonym and they can sell them for big money. Yeah, I really don’t care that much for fame, though, as you can tell, but the food truck guys are still honorable enough not to sell them as their own. (Or maybe they’re just scared they’ll be asked to write stuff they can’t and then people will think they’re plagiarists.) So, that way we have enough essentials to live and each other and we’re just happy that way. But now this Todd Hadden guy has ruined all of that.

“Who was I to think that he was a columnist?” I retorted.

“Oh great, because you wanted to be a show-off, we’re dead. I’ll go tell Pauline that you’re going off to some big shot city while we sit here and rot.”

“I wasn’t trying to be a show-off! Why do you always have to blame everything on me?! The guy was curious! So I let him look at the stuff!”

“Curiosity killed the cat, Melody! Ever heard of that?”

“Of course I have! What, do you think I’m dumb?”

To this he had no reply, because I was a genius, there was no denying that. In fact that was the whole reason we were in this mess anyway.

So, did you like? If you do, shout out to us on Facebook or Twitter, comment, or something!

My Goals For This Year

So you guys... school is starting back soon. REAL soon. It is going to creep up on us... waiting to pop out and scare us! And now that we have gotten out of the ways of just how excited I am, let's get on with it. Just like any normal child, I am going to strive  to have a really good year! So.... I have created a personal list of goals to help me keep on a schedule that can guide me to reach his goal! But, I am not sharing this with you so that you can know every detail about my life stalkerishly *new word!*, more as inspiration to create your own.

1) Keep Academics as my NUMBER ONE! At all times. Do not let drama or friends get in the way of it. It is the most important thing about school (you know, learning!) So throughout the whole year, I AM going to keep a 95 average (at the very least) in all subjects, even on progress reports. No questions. So great thing I have friends who will push me to achieve this and support me instead of rival me. *Thanks TeenWiki!* This also includes no intentional missing assignments. No zeros in the gradebook.

2) Be very active in any extracurriculars I can! Academically speaking, there are plenty to participate in! Academic Quiz Bowl! Math Team! I just need to involve myself in these things to broaden my understanding of them and to let me learn more!

3) Be active in drama. Theatre is very important to me, and is something I genuinely enjoy! Being so, I would like to involve myself in as much of that as possible. My new school has a VERY rigorous and developing drama department, with a heck of a good teacher! It equips you to take your talents even farther. They go to many theatrical competitions within the year, including the Junior Theatre Festival, Junior Theatre Conference, One- Act Theatrical Competition, and a few more I cannot remember! So that is gonna be pretty cool....

4) Keep on the good side with all my classmates. I want to be a person who is friends with everybody, and has no enemies. Who can open up and be themselves, and not be made fun of. So I'm really going to strive to be nice and very Christian-like to everybody next year. And knowing my class mates, I'm gonna need a lot of self discipline!!

5) Have good behavior. I, not being the perfect child, do slip up sometimes. Don't get me wrong, I am no juvenile delinquent, I have never gotten into a fist fight or sent to the Principal's Office (and I don't plan to.) But nonetheless, I would like to build up my self discipline and keep my temper with people. I tend to sometimes have a wee bit of a problem with that, but that is officially a thing of the past!

And there ya go! That's my main goals for next year! So  you have seen mine, now I would LOVE to see yours! Email us at lifewithwikiandrose@gmail.com and we will read it, love it, and respond! In fact, that is the challenge! Do it, and you will get acknowledged!! It will make you feel warm and fuzzy on the inside! SOOO, 3...2...1.... GO!
