Sexual Health
On the radio yesterday I heard two commercials, back to back, for Planned Parenthood promoting “sexual health” by advertising their contraceptive services and the morning after pill. Health? Really?

From the New York Times: WHEN Yitta Schwartz died last month at 93, she left behind 15 children, more than 200 grandchildren and so many great- and great-great-grandchildren that, by her family’s count, she could claim perhaps 2,000 living descendants. Mrs. Schwartz was a member … Read More

Love Is God
Happy Valentine’s Day, readers! As we celebrate romance and love today, let us keep in mind what, or Who, rather, is the source of that love. “God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. In this is love perfected within us” (1 Jn. 4:16-17) The romantic love of man and woman, … Read More
