Mother’s Day Suggestion
May 10th, 2009Don’t Feel Left Out
What do you do on Mother’s Day if your mother has passed on?
Here’s a suggestion. Make a donation to Care-Net. They provide counseling, prenatal tests, material assistance, and other types of help to pregnant women in crisis.
Planned Parenthood puts the vast majority of its resources in minority neighborhoods, in a highly successful continuation of the genocidal policies of its twisted founder, Margaret Sanger. Planned Parenthood is the answer to unwanted children, provided you understand that the term “unwanted” refers mainly to the way Planned Parenthood’s overwhelmingly white supporters feel about minority babies. Thanks to them, 60% of black babies are killed before birth. It has proven much cheaper and more effective than lynching adults.
Care-Net is the Christian response. Aborting a baby is fast, cheap, and easy, and it takes no courage. Carrying it and raising it require guts and perseverance. Care-Net helps women stick it out.
I can’t go back in time and improve on the way I treated my mother, but thanks to charities like Care-Net, I can make some effort to acknowledge my debt, by helping other people’s mothers. If your mother, like mine, is no longer here for you to bless, maybe Care-Net can help you, too.

My other Writer Idol (besides you Steve)–Southern humorist and author Lewis Grizzard–always said (and I paraphrase) “Don’t wait until Mother’s Day to call your mother…I wish I could call mine right now.”
I talk to my mother at least twice a week on the telephone, and with my Dad’s passing 13 years ago May 5th I make sure I call her on this day and acknowledge her because in spite of my lack of maturity in so many areas I am the MAN in the family now by default.
Being the only son–and the Third (III)–It’s a challenge and an obligation I take very seriously and hope to live up to in the end.

Our pregnancy care center, Fort Worth Pregnancy Center, is an affiliate of Care-Net. Thank you for recommending them and their work. Pregnancy care centers are doing great work below the radar of the mainstream and we like it that way. Our objective is to make a difference in people’s lives by helping them through their crisis and forming relationships with them. Our first client in 1996 was 13 years old and pregnant. We still have a relationship with her and her twin girls are precious. She was just the first of thousands of clients. Thanks again for this good word.

Great idea. I don’t see the Bible restricting honoring parents to their lifetime.
