Abortion
The Dark Shadow of Abortion and Lindsay Clancy
Judge William Sullivan, the Superior Court judge in the Lindsay Clancy murder case, declared a mistrial on September 4 after the jurors failed to reach a unanimous verdict.
After seven days of deliberation, the jury couldn’t agree whether the Massachusetts mom was criminally responsible for strangling her three kids. Apparently one juror felt Clancy was guilty of the crime and wouldn’t budge from his position. The others were prepared to acquit.
The mistrial stunned the nation–particularly families. How could a mom methodically strangle each of her three children and get away with it?
The high-profile trial took place in Plymouth, Massachusetts, home of the Pilgrims–who would have most certainly convicted Mrs. Clancy.
I believe the dark cloud of abortion hovers over this mistrial and the world.
Here’s why.
Discern Whose Voice You’re Listening To
The universe began with the voice of God. He spoke everything we see into existence (Genesis 1).
The first four voices that interacted on earth (Genesis 2 & 3) were the voices of God, Adam (the first male), Eve (first female), and the serpent (a manifested form of Satan or Lucifer).
Four points of view –the Eternal God revealing Truth (Reality), two human beings learning both truth and error, and the fourth voice deceiving our first parents.
That deceit–listening to the wrong voice–continues to to this day all over the world.
To overcome deception, you must discern whose voice you’re listening to.
Reflections on the Trump Triumph
I first voted for president in 1972–for Richard Nixon. If I’d been eligible in 1960, I would have voted for JFK over Nixon due to his vision and policies (despite his infidelities).
God nudged me to write a book on the 1976 election. Shirley and I cried when Ronald Reagan lost in the primary. We rejoiced four years later when Reagan launched a revolution called “Morning in America.” We were in the crowd near the Capitol Building when he was sworn in on January 20, 1981.
In ten subsequent national elections we voted, prayed, dealt with angst, and felt encouragement in various years. Elections can be like yo-yos (do they still use that name?), but remain amazing tools of free governments to make minor or major societal course corrections.
The day after the Trump Red Wave, here are my reflections on the historic 2024 race.
