Jonah Goldberg talks with Fox about this flippant take on life being the exact path taken by Nazi's eugenics.
The flippancy disregards the value and preciousness of each life - no matter the outer or inner circumstances.
The beauty of life is often in the struggles. ObamaCare and government-run health care supporters are wanting to white wash the bitter sweetness of life into nothing more than scheduled checking ins and checking outs.
It's the obstacles that create character.
It's the difficulties that create depth.
It's the insurmountable odds that birth tenacity capable of defying odds and standing with boldness, though the mountains crumble into the seas.
And here's the really dirty little secret...Government wants to be your god.
They don't want you praying, finding strength with Christ, and looking toward a future mandated by Him alone. He's too unpredictable. He might heal a terminal patient. He might create a path out of financial ruin. Or He might simply give you the grace to endure. That makes you unbeatable.
The big fear and unmentioned worry of Socialistic supporters is this: They can't control God. They can only control you. And only when they can separate you from Him.
So they have to set a value on life and then control that value and control that life. They have to puff up obstacles in life to seem unbearable. You can't get through them. You're too ignorant, too incapable, too needy. You either need the government or you need to die and get out of the way.
It's ugly. But all evil is ugly. And make no mistake, the devaluing of life, born and unborn, is evil.
That's my soapbox stance for the day.
I wanted to leave you with some inspiration. Maybe you're like me, maybe you're not. However, I don't find anything inspiring about an easy life. I find no encouragement from hearing stories from beautiful movie stars and how they overcame acne. It does not stir anything inside of me to be better, do better, and never accept the challenges in my life as unconquerable.
This man, however, does.
Meet Nick Vujicic. By all standards of what our current culture deems worthy, he should have been aborted, not even given the chance to breath in and out. Thank God, he wasn't. And this is a little bit of his inspiring story.
That is the beauty of life.
