I don't really like animals.  I mean, I don't HATE them.. I just don't care about them.  What do you think is the reason that some people love animals and other people don't?  Is there something wrong with a person who doesn't like animals?  I like people, I just don't really care about their pets.. (except of course for my friend, Carol, who's little dog Chloe is too cute for words.. OK.. I like Chloe.. that's it).  My granddaughter who is 6 LOVES animals.. and is fearless around them.  I was just talking to Lindsey.. who LOVES every kind of animal.  To me, they're.......well.....just......uhhh...........uhhhhhhhh... there. 

SUBJECT NUMBER TWO ON TODAY'S BLOG... EMBRYO ADOPTION   As part of a cover story I'm writing about adoption... this subject has got to be the MOST interesting thing I've investigated in years. Embryonic adoption.  People who do in vitro fertilization (fertilizing the child in outside the parents.. if you get the idea..).. this type of fertilization creates as many embryo's (read "PEOPLE") as 20 or so.  The doctor "implants" just a few.. and then the embryo's (read "PEOPLE) are frozen.. for further use.. 

Except sometimes the parents decide they have enough children.......and are donating the frozen embryos to places like "The National Embryo Donation Center"  (www.embryodonation.org) and saying, "We have embryo's we'd like to donate.. to give these children life."  And then OTHER women - who are having trouble conceiving their own children - give birth to these already conceived embryo's.  I interviewed a couple who gave birth (well, ok the WIFE GAVE BIRTH) to triplets in 2008 and whose children were conceived in vitro in 2001.   It's just a mind boggling thing to think of. 

IT'S another way to ADOPT a child... instead this time you adopt the child before it's born and give birth to it yourself.  Know someone who wants a baby?  You might tell them to visit the website:  www.embryodonation.org.  These people are on a mission to see these frozen orphans come to life in the warmth of someone's heart and home. 

OK.. back to writing.. Bye.   

Wow.  Not a lot of blogging lately.  Busy writing articles.  Have two deadlines tomorrow.. so I actually have to WORK

I am praying for friend who has drifted away from the Lord. Pray that God gets her attention again. 

I used to think it was important to pray that she would remember the past she's left behind.  The times of seeking God, and feeling His presence so closely.  But...I think the Lord is instructing me to pray.. in her case.. that she remembers the future she left behind.  His plans to prosper and not to harm her.  His plans to give her eternal life and a home with Him forever.  The path she is on is leading her away from Him and in to destruction. Would you ask the Holy Spirit to get her attention and remind her of the future she is leaving behind? Thank you.
