An unborn child is not an ‘option’ or ‘obstacle’
To the editor:
Those who cry out in support of abortion will say that it is the woman’s moral right to choose. However, when we hear of a house that burns down and three out of four of the family die, those same people will say, “What kind of a moral God could take three lives like that?” — making the inference that God is immoral in his decision of who lives and dies.
Yet, when a woman who supports “choice” gets to play God with another person’s life in her womb, she has no problem in choosing who lives and who doesn’t. We must understand that when a woman aborts a child, she does not become unpregnant, but rather the mother of a dead child. American society is too willing to sacrifice morals to preserve convenience. An unborn child should not be considered as an option or an obstacle on the road of convenience.
I’m afraid that our selfishness has perverted our vision, destroyed our morals and has moved us beyond the banks of rational reasoning. To prove my point, we need to look no further than the following scenario. Scientists look diligently on Mars for any sign of life. If they found a single-cell organism there, they would exclaim they have found life. However, these same people can’t acknowledge that a child in the womb fits the same criteria.
Pray for America!

Politicians should answer questions about stadium
To the editor:
It seems our politicians have tunnel vision and can see only a new stadium as a means to resurrect the downtown.
I’ve never heard or read answers to these questions which I submit to all interested parties: How many government officials of any level have visited other cities which have resurrected their downtowns without a stadium? If no such cities can be found, does that mean resurrection is a futile endeavor? Can you name five or more activities, other than baseball, that might fill the bleachers?
The money spent on soil samples could have been used for travel to explore alternatives to a stadium.

Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year
To the editor:
Christmas. Some want that word tossed aside, forgotten, but we can’t do that. It is sacred and divine. It should flow out our front door, fly out our windows, ring through valleys and echo through mountaintops.
Praise, thanksgiving and worship should flow from our hearts. Christ, the greatest gift ever given to man. As we look upon the manger scene and that precious little baby, let us look a little beyond and see standing in the heavens a man with hair to his shoulders wearing a long robe and sandals. With outstretched arms calling, “Come ye who labor and are heavy leaden and I will give you rest.”
