Brittany Maynard update…a roller coaster of emotions. Is saying that Mrs. Maynard is courageous saying those folks that didn’t take their life aren’t?
Brittany Maynard takes her life: One of the weekend’s saddest events was the self-inflicted death of Brittany Maynard, a 29-year old woman who decided that she would end her battle with terminal cancer via doctor-assisted suicide.
Maynard originally told PEOPLE she’d chosen Nov. 1 to end her life, but on Thursday she released a new video saying she might not do it that day.
“I still smile and laugh with my family and friends enough that it doesn’t seem like the right time now,” she said in the video recorded Oct. 13 and 14, “but it will come because I feel myself getting sicker; it’s happening each week.”
Apparently, she changed her mind again. Here are her last words before she took her own life:
You can read the rest of Rebekah’s piece on the closure of Brittany’s story (for now) here.

Tolerance from the “tolerance crowd”…and a worldview wrapped up in 140 characters.
Jessa Duggar of 19 Kids and Counting fame causes quite a stir!
Below is the Instagram in question and a decidedly different take from the Huffington Post. What do you think?
I walked through the Holocaust Museum again today… very sobering. Millions of innocents denied the most basic and fundamental of all rights–their right to life. One human destroying the life of another deemed “less than human.” Racism, stemming from the evolutionary idea that man came from something less than human; that some people groups are “more evolved” and others “less evolved.” A denying that our Creator–GOD–made us human from the beginning, all of ONE BLOOD and ONE RACE, descendants of Adam. The belief that some human beings are “not fit to live.” So they’re murdered. Slaughtered. Kids with Down syndrome or other disabilities. The sickly. The elderly. The sanctity of human life varies not in sickness or health, poverty or wealth, elderly or pre-born, little or lots of melanin [making you darker or lighter skinned], or any other factor. “If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small. If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain; If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not He that pondereth the heart consider it? and He that keepeth thy soul, doth not He know it? and shall not He render to every man according to his works?” (Proverbs 24:10-12) May we never sit idly by and allow such an atrocity to happen again. Not this generation. We must be a voice for those who cannot speak up for themselves. Because EVERY LIFE IS PRECIOUS. #ProLife
ProLife Across America’s billboards continually vandalized. The sad, but not surprising, language of hate:

Hear how Brian and his team saw a need and are meeting young women in “crisis pregnancies” where they are with the tools available through today’s technology.
And, a local pastor can’t handle the blistering heat from an anonymous emailer accusing him of copyright infringement. Pastor Michael Demastus of Fort Des Moines Church of Christ on Army Post Road on Des Moines’ Southside replaces his controversial sign: and replaces it with this: . Way to stay out of the fire Pastor Mike. 😉
