OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT OBAMA
Att: President elect Obama please change your agenda on the horror of Partial Birth-Abortion/ sent to Congress.org
Because fetal 'tissue' is in demand and preserving it is difficult, some partial birth abortion doctors are now, over-dilating the women so they have their babies early on the second day, in the motel room. The women and their living babies are brought to the clinic and the baby is not killed until the sales representative arrives to pick him/her up. Then, the doctor quickly strangles or drowns the baby and delivers it to the messenger who sells the 'tissue' to pharmaceuticals and other companies who use 'fetal tissue'. The advantage here is to deliver very fresh 'tissue' to the companies. Thus, the abortionist can make $3000 to $5000 for the partial birth abortion and quite a bit of extra bucks on selling the baby's body for 'fetal tissue research'. This information was obtained from Michael Crutcher's new video magazine. A woman who worked as a pickup messenger for 'fetal tissue' is interviewed on this video. If you are interested in obtaining a free copy of the video, please visit http://www.ldi.org (Life Dynamics) and request the tape.
Sincerely,
Estelle P. Shrum

I sent this to congress.org and will be writing much more on the murder of these innocent babies..........God have mercy on those who voted for partial-birth-abortion.

THESE WEBSITES WILL ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS
If you have a question on the Bible, or are not sure what the Bible has to say about a certain topic, please keep these websites available in your favorites. They will answer any question you may have. The writers are not affiliated with a particular church. They are Bible Theologians. I will post these websites on facebook and my blog.
http://www.gotquestions.org/
The above website is a wonderful place to go to for any question you have on religion or the Bible. Here are the rest of the ones I use for reference. For me - I like KISS - keep it simple stupid. The answers are short and easy to understand with Scripture to back it up.

WHO ARE YOUR CLOSEST FRIENDS?
Who are your closest friends?
Good friends are hard to come by in a world of superficial acquaintances and shallow relationships."Hanging with the crowd" can give us a false sense of belonging, but often leaves us wounded and alone in times of trouble. Open, honest, supportive, and loving relationships don't happen without investment. Ask the Lord to lead you to close friends in his family. Minister to and serve those around you. Listen to their requests, faithfully upholding them in prayer. Spend time in Christian service with other servant believers. Join yourself to a Bible study or accountability group. As you do, trust that God will give you that "stick-through-thick-and-thin-friend." Companions are easy to find, but can be unreliable. Development of Christian friends is an investment of effort and time, but they are friends with whom we will share forever.

AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL - By Estelle P. Shrum
Our nation, America the beautiful, is being ruled by deceit. (1)
We throw up our hands, shake our heads, and accept defeat.
We are frustrated to the point of sticking our heads in the sand.
But my fellow Americans it is imperative that we take a stand.
The judges, lawyers, and radical liberals are changing our laws.
They are claiming our constitution and beliefs have flaws.
For two hundred years we have been blessed under God’s grace.
Today there is no God, no morals, and no decency, barely a trace.
We’re accepting the minority of people to change our standard.
We are allowing our way of life and ideals to be slandered.
Soon Pastor’s will be prohibited to quote God’s word or minister.
Evil ones are hell bound and will rule with a justice that’s sinister.
Godliness exalts a nation, but people’s sin is its reproach. (2)
Pray for revival, for it is Satan’s domain we encroach.
Pray for the sanctity of marriage and all that’s good and pure. (3)
The darkness of principalities is replacing God’s name for sure. (4)
Let us pray that the end days will be cut short. (5)
And the Lord will come soon to rule His court.
We will fall as all empires do that are filled with sin.
And our nation, “America the beautiful”, will not win.

A CALL TO CHRISTIANS
CHRISTIANS MUST STAND TALL
As Christians we must continue to stand tall.
Though the rule of decency crumbles and falls.
We live in turbulent and unpredictable times.
With chaotic behavior and horrendous crimes.
Boundaries are not respected and people are uncouth.
They have lost their way and can’t tell the lies from truth.
Religions now follow whatever it is that man desires.
Faith hope and charity is not what their heart inspires.
People accept evil manipulation of the elect.
Not caring that men themselves are derelict.
The world is off its axis and we all suffer.
The Bible tells us that the future will get tougher.
As Christians we must continue to stand tall.
For those who live for the Lord will not fall.

ATHEISTS - Ask Them This...
ATHEISM
Some atheists believe that life is a power and energy of their own will and mind. (Ps.14:1)
They credit a magnetic field of the universe or a force that is not easily defined.
They completely discredit the history of the Bible and mock those who believe.
They give credence to medians and psychics, or karma, for what they will achieve. (Lev.20:27)
They believe you live and die, and that is all there is, and claim to be satisfied. (Ecc.3:11)
Some atheists are evil and their horrific crimes tells us they are very unsatisfied.
They do not believe in good or evil, heaven and hell, or consequences for their action. (Ge.1:1), (Ge.2:4), (Ps. 50-6), (Isa. 51:6)
Some atheists believe the spirit of life lies within themselves and the law of attraction. (Ge.2:27), (1 Co.3:16)
They discredit intelligent design and the balance of nature with continued resistance.
They will believe in anything except the possibility of God’s omnipotent existence. (Isa. 44:17-18)
They ignore the natural order of the universe and the magnificent detail of creation. (Ge.chp.1), (Heb.1:10)
They refuse to admit that mathematics and science can’t explain the atoms formation.
They don’t consider interstellar space, the vast universe, or the miracle of a baby’s birth. (Job chap.38)
They don’t acknowledge the intricacy for the detail of all the creatures upon the earth. (Job chap.39)
They can’t explain why human’s beings who are highest on the food chain ended evolution. (Ge.1:26-30)
Man is the only form of life that can think and reason, but no one can give a sound resolution. (Ge.2:9,16,17)
If atheists can believe in energy, power and force, then why not intelligent design? (Col.3:2)
If they would open their minds and hearts they would see that there is a God who's Divine. (Mt.7:7), Mt.22:37)

If you put pieces of a camera in a box and shook it for a million years, or infinity, do you think when you opened the box the camera would put it self together just by chance? Well, that is what the big bang theory teaches.
If you consider the human body down to the smallest particle known to man you will see that everything has a purpose and master plan from an intelligent designer. That designer left us with his name, address, and phone number. If you don’t know him you are missing out on an incredible journey of love like you have never known.
His name is – God, in Hebrew it is Yahweh.
His address is – Heaven, all you have to do is look at the beauty around you.
His phone number is – The Bible, it’s a wireless call.
Be blessed. Estelle.

Open letter to my Christian friends...
To my Christian friends:
There are troubles all over the world. For those of us in Christ we need not fear:
We are the witnesses of the "Birth Pains" that is spoken of in Revelation, prior to the rapture. I long for Revelation. chapter 21:1 - "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea." And the last verse: (27) "And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life."
Romans 13:1 tell us "Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God." In 1 Timothy 2:1-2 we are told, "Exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving thanks, be made for all men; For Kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty."
Time is short and will only get worse. This country and the world over are on a downward spiral. I don't know why God put President elect Obama in power, but He did, and we need to respect that. If America falls and is taken down to her knees than that is a good thing. When civilizations lose their sense of morals, they all fall. I just pray for the days to be cut short. I read where 54% of Catholics voted for Obama (much to the regret of the Bishops who do not condone abortion). Voting for Obama was, and is not a race issue - it was a moral issue for Christians and conservatives. It's a scary world we live in. We will be leaving a mess to our kids and grandkids that they may never clean up. But as Christians our hope is not in this world. We have a heavenly home and await our King Jesus. We need not fear. I pray for President elect Obama and the world over. I pray for Jesus to cut the days short and come soon!

Subject: Regarding Security
To The White House:
Although I am a conservative republican and did not vote for Mr. Obama I am can not help but be excited that an African American will be in the White House. I have lived through the Civil Rights Era and my husband was in Viet Nam. Those were bad times for our nation and now we will be be facing even harder times.
I implore the powers to be from the Secret Service to the CIA and, FBI. to not drop the ball in security as it did with 9/11. Please protect Mr. Obama and his family. I also implore the democratic party not to drop the Patriot's Act because we need that system more than ever. If we had it in place before 9/11 that horror would never have happened. Thank you and be blessed.

He Is The Word - Scriptural Poetry That Answers Biblical Questions
Hello,
My name is Estelle and I have just created this blog. I also have a website, www.Heistheword.com. I am a published author of, He Is The Word, through Publish America. Any royalties I make from my book go to The American Bible Society. I write poetry. I teach English as a second language as a volunteer, and I also volunteer for the Red Cross.
Now that the elections are over we can all take a deep breath and move on. As a Christian who trusts in God's Word as truth I don't put my faith in people. In Romans 13:1 we are told "Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God." So I pray for the safety of our nation and for the people who rule it. Be blessed. Estelle.
