If anyone is wondering why I haven't posted, I have 3 reasons.
1) I'm slowly transferring my blog over to Wordpress.
2) I haven't had Internet at my house.
3) Its 10:33 in the morning and I haven't had power since 3:15 last afternoon. I'm blogging from church that lets us live in their house.
So please be patient. Thank you!

Photo Editing
So I have this application on my computer called Paint.net. It's really cool because you can basically take any picture and turn it into kind of impressionist painting;at least, that's what I think they look like. I know some people might not like these because they are somewhat irritating to look at.
But the pics are as follows:
1. Elizabeth Swann from POTC3.
2. Will Turner from POTC3.
3. Jack Sparrow from POTC3.
4. Arwen from LOTR.
5. The Nazgul from LOTR.
6. Susan Pevensie from The Chronicles of Narnia 2.
7. Susan with griffon from The Chronicles of Narnia 2.

America Says: Pre-marital Sex is Okay
Something my Mom mentioned to me in a comment on my last post really caught my attention. In my last post "America Says: Abortion is Okay," I didn't really say anything about why so many girls have abortions.
According to this website, 64.4% of abortions are performed on never married women and 93% of abortions occur because of (according to this website) social reasons (i.e the child is unwanted or inconvenient.)
So I would say that a lot of the abortions performed are because the woman having the procedure had sex outside of marriage and got pregnant. What is sad about the American mindset is that so many of these girls think that their only mistake was getting pregnant and that having sex was fine.
Obviously though, you are only going to get pregnant as a result of having sex, so if you don't have sex, you won't get pregnant, but girls don't seem to realize that.
I know someone that had a baby outside of marriage. My mom and I were talking about it and she jokingly said to me "You aren't going to have a baby at sixteen are you?" I said, "No, I'm not planning on it." When I told a friend about this conversation she said to me, "Well, I don't think the girls that got pregnant were planning on it either." They weren't planning NOT to get pregnant, either. That's why purity is so important.
Besides the fact that the bible condemns it, another reason premarital sex is wrong is because: a) It can lead to pregnancy and b)then those pregnancies can end in abortion.
So I would say that the problem is not just abortion, but what it stems from, which is pre-marital sex. So if you decide that you are never going to have sex before you are married, you will never have to make a decision whether or not to abort your baby.
That is why I think that courting is so important because you keep yourself from being put in a situation where you might be tempted. But I'll save the topic of courting for another blog post.
