WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Dr. George Tiller, one of the nation's few providers of late-term abortions despite decades of protests and attacks, was shot and killed Sunday in a church where he was serving as an usher.
Tiller's Women's Health Care Services clinic is one of just three in the nation where abortions are performed after the 21st week of pregnancy. The clinic was heavily fortified and Tiller often traveled with a bodyguard, but Stolz said there was no indication of security at the church Sunday.

While I am in no way condoning this man's murder, this story caught my attention because he was murdered at his church, where he was serving as an usher! He is one of only 3 doctors in the nation that performs abortions after 21 weeks! How anyone can do that, and believe in God, and worship God, is beyond me!
Without getting into details tonight, let me just refer you to a few resources. Judge for yourself! Educate yourself!
From the moment of conception, this is a baby! After only a few weeks, this baby is able to feel pain! Can you even imagine being torn to pieces, or having your skull crushed, to kill you? (These are both methods used in abortions.)

Hosanna
I see the king of glory
Coming on the clouds with fire
The whole earth shakes
The whole earth shakes
Yeeeah
I see his love and mercy
Washing over all our sin
The people sing
The people sing
[Chorus]
Hosanna
Hosanna
Hosanna in the highest [x2]
I see a generation
Rising up to take their place
With selfless faith
With selfless faith
I see a near revival
Stirring as we pray and seek
We're on our knees
We're on our knees
[Chorus]
Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like you have loved me
Break my heart from what breaks yours
Everything I am for your kingdoms cause
As I go from nothing to
Eternity
[Chorus x2]
Hosanna in the highest

My Hydrangea Bush
The first to bloom!
An aerial view.
From the sidewalk. Either we planted it the wrong way or the bush has turned itself!!! All of the flowers are on the other side! (At least its still alive after 2 weeks)

Baseball Photos
In honor of Braden's in-the-park home run tonight, I decided to upload the pictures I took at his game last week! Sorry for the delay..... we've been busy with baseball, vacation bible school, and other end of the year things.
Braden at bat. (I won't tell you that he struck out)
Pitching..... lots of pitching pictures so Daddy can get a closer look and show Braden things he needs to work on.
Coach Hart trying to calm the wild man down.
More pitching....

Just Makes Me Mad
SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — President Barack Obama strode head-on Sunday into the stormy abortion debate and told graduates at America's leading Roman Catholic university that both sides must stop demonizing one another. (Because we obviously shouldn't defend those who cannot speak for themselves!)
Obama acknowledged that "no matter how much we want to fudge it ... the fact is that at some level, the views of the two camps are irreconcilable." But he still implored the University of Notre Dame's graduating class and all in the U.S. to stop "reducing those with differing views to caricature. Open hearts. Open minds. Fair-minded words. (Seriously? How can you be open-minded about murder? Yes, they are in need of love and compassion. But they also need to know that this is WRONG!) It's a way of life that always has been the Notre Dame tradition." (Notre Dame tradition? They are a Catholic school. Catholics "traditionally" do not support birth control. That makes no sense.)
One of the noisiest controversies of his young presidency flared after Obama, who supports abortion rights but says the procedure should be rare, was invited to speak at the school and receive an honorary degree. "I do not suggest that the debate surrounding abortion can or should go away," the president said........ Blah! Blah! Blah!

A Gallup survey released Friday found that 51 percent of those questioned call themselves "pro-life" on the issue of abortion and 42 percent "pro-choice." This is the first time a majority of U.S. adults have identified themselves as "pro-life" since Gallup began asking this question in 1995.
Pew said its latest polling found that 28 percent said abortion should be legal in most cases while 18 percent said all cases. Forty-four percent of those surveyed were opposed to abortion in most or all cases.

May 1st - Putt Putt
Here are some pictures from our trip to Texas. I am way behind in my posting. Mostly this is do to the fact that I don't feel like elaborating. Sorry! Use your imagination to fill in the blanks :)
A view of the gorgeous weather! It was either overcast (below) or raining most of our trip.
Braxton believed it was best to get the ball as close to the hole as possible before he began putting. Great idea if you ask me!
"Whoa! Look at that big whale!"
Braden being eaten by the hippo.
Brock going in after him!
They both survived and were able to pose for a picture.
Braden gloating. On this hole, Grandma lost her first place title. It was all downhill from there.
Watching Brock take his turn.
Braden working on his form.
Smile!
Oh Brock!
Braden taking way too long.... 8 shots I believe.
Brock.
Grandma.
Braxton getting into position.

More Birthday Girl
Did I mention Dallas helped with the 16 hour drive to Texas? She did a little driving in Arkansas. (You know you can get away with more in Arkansas!) She's a very good driver :)
And after a walk through Grandma and Grandpa's neighborhood, she was a little overheated. She hadn't adjusted to the humidity. By the end of the week, she was much better.

Here are a few pictures to tied you over. Sorry I've been so bad about posting... all the pictures from our trip on on my Facebook page though.

The best picture I got of the boys.
