What is normal? Many times over the course of this life I have heard this term. Most recently I've heard this term describing a type of "day", in other words, normal days. The dictionary definition of normal stands as this: 1. conforming to the standard or the common type; usual; not abnormal; regular; natural. 2. serving to establish a standard Dictionary.com Who decides what's normal? Who establishes the standard or the common type? "Normal" for a person can be defined by how they were raised. Habits, choices and lifestyles are dictated by what one views or believe as "normal". What is clear to me in this day, age and time of Christianity is a declaration of "normality" is given over to the experts of our time.

We all know what group elected him into office, America has not gotten any better morally... proving without a doubt the manifestation of the Word, "That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the po...

The following "post" is a response to a comment left on my original post of " Pro-Choice ". I decided to publish the comment because it gave me an opportunity to expound further on the point of my original post. You can find the original comment at this post as well. -------------Start of Comment------------ Once again I thank you for commenting. Normally I wouldn’t publish a comment that may start a “debate” however, I decided to respond to your comment because I wanted to expound on my point of the existence of choice. It can very easy to get away from the “big picture” when the “pieces” of the big picture are taken out of context. It is in this light, many fall into the trap of “straining at a gnat and swallow a camel” instead Matthew 23:24 In stating that, my point in my post is a simple one. It is not about politics, morals or even a political candidate; it’s about the existence of choice as allowed by God and the consequences of it by we which we DO (physical...
