"Three
whales versus fifty million"
I tried to have as wholesome an evening as I could
with my family we went out for burgers and shakes and to see Big
Miracle the movie! I have seen like three movies this year I try
and avoid them I used to go to every premiere! The movie itself
was as charming and warm as advertised. Based on a true story
about how the US, Russia, green peace, a big oil company, and
barrow Alaska with the national guard all worked together to
save two out of three whales stranded five miles under the ice.
Humanity at its finest and worst all together. You left feeling
good a little and also that that seemed so long ago. Coming home
I thought of when I marched with people for life in Washington
several hundred thousand people! A few or several thousand were
the words the news used. I remember sitting next to our
representative at the prayer breakfast who promised not to vote
for healthcare supporting abortion and later did justifying some
greater good! They lost the next race and their successor broke
their promises also. The fact is the whole world cared about
three whales for both selfish and unselfish reasons in 1988
because the public heard and cared so they did something whether
it was for the whales or for the publicity. God showed me that
humanity at its finest coming together still needs Him as Lord
to have any hope and savior! How could the whole world have
mobilized to save three whales and 300,000 marching on
Washington to save millions of babies not even be a blip on the
radar! If two babies fell in a well it would be national news of
the rescue but every day thousands of mothers become barren and
because it's their "right" many are silent others are not but
they don't make the laws and are lied to by those who do or
lately just dismissed as trying to impose their views on others.
You see as humans those making the laws define right. God is
higher and until we understand and accept his Lordship we take
the gnats out of others eyes and feel proud all the while not
seeing the log in ours. Those that see the logs through Christs
eyes and with his help remove their own so they can see are then
called blind by those straining to remove all the gnats! Human
standards of good have been shown foolish and arbitrary by
design only with the holy spirits help can we see the log and
not strain for gnats! Jesus is Lord and only by dying with Him
to the flesh on the cross and rising with him
to new life can we through the spirit discern truly good from
evil! As wonderful as what they did for those whales was perhaps
the natives where most truly Christ like sacrificing their plan
to harvest the whales and help them and dig holes to the sea for
no reward I just came home knowing how much I we all need the
Lord and Jesus to save us because hundreds of thousands marching
for childrens right to live barely made the news! Just not with
the program I guess. Need to change the channel!
