      Thoughts come and go and life is worth living. Life is precious and your true love should be life- giving. Sex was created to give life. Just think of the word: CONTRACEPTION and question what it is against (”contra”) . It is against life that would otherways be. Your desperation is a sign that your fears of life are irrational. God is the Way, the Truth, and the LIFE don’t take Him out of your relationship with your spouce. God is LOVE! The devil is a real enemy that plants bad thoughts.

      My spouse & i desperately want a child. However, we purposely will not conceive because there is a chance that once grown, our child may feel I would have preferred non-existence. There, I would have remained safe from all harm.” Also, any harm would be our fault. If we had not conceived the child the harm would not have occurred. Do many others think this way?

      After the truck driver cheer, they do HANDS and EYES–this is when all attention is focused on the teacher. Hands folded in lap, eyes focused on teacher.

      I went to the Power Teaching Seminar recently and it was wonderful!!!
