| Red rose sketch by Gloria Poole of Missouri and Georgia, created today 18 July 2014
This sketch that I, Gloria Poole, drew, painted, signed, photographed on my portable drawing board and uploaded today is because of prolife victories recently. The red rose [and also tiny feet] has long been a symbol of the prolife movement . Today as I was updating another blog of mine at https://save-the-baby-humans.blogspot.com I realized that the prolife community, me included, gets few rewards from the world but almost always gets some sort of blow-back for any prolife activity we do. This is not a perfect sketch. Painting roses is one of the most difficult objects I ever attempt to draw and paint and I do not claim to be expert at it. I merely wanted to make an effort to say thank you very much to all prolifers everywhere for keeping on, keeping on, when at times it seems that each person is in it completely alone like David fighting Goliath.
I am reminded of the verses in Deuteronomy chapter 28 : 1-14 of the blessings of GOD for obedience to HIS words. I quote some of those :
"And it shall come to pass, that if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of THE LORD thy GOD, to observe and to do all HIS commandments which I command thee this day, that THE LORD thy GOD will set thee on high above all nations of the earth; and all these blessings shall come upon thee and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of THE LORD thy GOD. Blessed shalt thou be in the city and blessed shalt thou be in the field. Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. ..[continues to verse 14 then curses for disobedience begin]. Deuteronomy 28 : 1-4, King James Holy Bible.].
Of course the fruit of your body are children. And the fruit of the field is vegetables but also flowers and trees that are food such as pecans, almonds, oranges, pears, apples, peaches, coconuts, and many more. GOD says when HE blesses you, HE blesses your children and your results.
OK, I am continuing the prolife cause including any maybe especially the personhood amendment cause. I draw and paint almost every day but that is usually for relief from stress [leisure] or to illustrate a point. I am not an employee of anyone and I 'work" from my own apt in Missouri which is private and which has a dedicated "home office / studio" space in it, and for my own purposes . One of those purposes is doing what I can as a Registered Nurse licensed in Missouri to end abortion as a so-called "right" since GOD said it is a wrong in Exodus 20:13, KJV.

Red rose for prolife victories sketch by Gloria Poole of Missouri
Friday, June 6, 2014
Fighting the good fight of faith is a forever battle
First, an update on the Media Research Center lawsuit with this quote, sent to my inbox:
From Brent Bozell, III, President and Founder of Media Research Center:
"Victory will not just save the MRC, but also ensure that the founding principles of our Republic are respected for all citizens—not just those whose religious convictions are politically "certified."
We are committed to taking this fight as far as necessary—even to the Supreme Court if we have to—to defend the Constitutional rights of all citizens. This will be a seminal case for religious liberty..."
And another quote :
"The MRC has been the nation's premier defender of pro-life views and Judeo-Christian values from attacks by the liberal media for nearly three decades.
Whether you share our religious convictions or not, this is fundamentally a battle for the Constitutional rights of all citizens."
I, Gloria Poole, RN, artist, want this site to be about a personal testimony but it is impossible to talk about my testimony of what GOD {JESUS} does in my life without talking about the political ramifications of being an active Christian who lives my faith and not just on Sunday. In the U S since 2009 there was a dramatic shift of philosophy away from the First Amendment liberties to speak, publish, believe, spend according to the religion [faith you adhere too, and toward an attitude that government was god [lower case intended since no government can replace GOD]. I have endured much blowback from that seismic shift also as there are almost daily attempts by cyber-hackers to attack my prolife blogs and the equipment and phones that are necessary for them. I have not quit and the wicked have not won. Sometimes, it feels like a literal actual tug-of-war between me who owns my equipment and the wicked who don't own it but try take control of it. Media Research Center is caught up in that also, as the current administration is trying to force them to violate their consciences and religions and go along to get along with schemes that will depopulate the U S into ruin; or be impoverished paying huge fines for believing the gospel. . So, I am doing what I can to help publicize the lawsuit of the Media Research Center and I ask Christian believers to pray for that lawsuit to prevail for all citizens' sake.
Ok, now, as to the scripture that seems relevant:
"For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words, thou shalt be condemned. " Matthew 12:37, KJV.
"So, now brethren [believers], I commend you to GOD and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up.." Acts 2032, KJV
"To open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of satan, to GOD..." Acts 26:18, KJV
"By the word of THE LORD, the heavens were made, and all the hosts of them by the breath of His mouth. " Psalms 33:6,KJV

Salvation is free but liberty isn't.
This is a new blog for me, [Gloria Poole] that has taken MUCH effort to get control of. This account was mine FROM THE BEGINNING [YEARS ago] but cyber-thugs tried to block it on the web because it began with scriptures in many languages that were translated mechanically by Google translation. I have blogs for specific purposes. The title "salvation is free" is a summary in my words of the words of JESUS as written, "He that hath an ear to hear, let him hear what The Spirit saith unto the churches: to him that overcometh, will I give to eat of the tree of life. " Revelations 1: 7, KJV. Well. Think about those words. Did you pay for your ears? Does hearing The Holy Spirit cost you money? Did JESUS say HE would GIVE you the fruit of the tree of life? Summarized : the gift of slavation from sin and hell is FREE. All you have to do to get it " is believe on The LORD JESUS Christ and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. " [Acts 16:31, KJV].
I am a believer in THE LIVING LORD JESUS and that makes me Christian. I know my name is written in GOD's book of life that JESUS reveals in the book of Revelation. I also know that JESUS expected Christians to "be the salt and the light" to the world. We, believers, are told in Matthew 28:18-20 to "teach all nations" what JESUS taught us. And I make many efforts to do that.
Along with being a good Christian and being salt and light to the world, I believe Christians should be outstanding citizens in the country they were born in. I was born in the state of Georgia in the U S. I try often [ by blogging, tweeting, writing] to influence decisions the Congress makes because it affects each and every citizen and the U S as a whole. One of the issues that is tearing the United States apart is abortion. I am a prolife activist/ blogger/ citizen journalist on that subject. I write as a citizen but also as a Registered Nurse licensed in Missouri.
One of my efforts to make a difference was writing words, " A tune and a tear" and you can read that at:
http://tapestry-of-life-llp.blogspot.com/2010/04/tune-and-tear-poem-by-gloria-poolernfor.html.
Another Christian who is caught up in the political maelstrom of abortion and the nuclear fall-out of the Obama genocide plan is L. Brent Bozell III of the Media Research Center. I received a letter from him into my email and I am quoting some of it here, because it was not a personal letter to me but as one Christian to another, to alert other Christians to be in prayer about this , and to spread the word.
Quote from newsletter sent to me: by The Media Research Center and L. Brent Bozell. III:
"Thanks to Obamacare, the Media Research Center is being threatened with outrageous fines totaling $4.5 million per year, starting this May. That is more than $12,500 every day! These fines will put us out of business.
Our offense? We oppose the federal government's move to functionally revoke our Constitutional right of religious liberty demanding that we subsidize contraception, abortifacients, and sterilizations.
We have carefully explored our options and determined that we only have one viable alternative: legal action." MRC filed a federal lawsuit to obtain an "exemption from Obamacare's unethical and unconstitutional mandates.
The initial hearing in our lawsuit against the Obama Administration's Health and Human Services department is scheduled for June 6.
The MRC is leading the way: we are the first non-profit organization to take this type of action. This will be a seminal case in the fight against this legislative overreach." [end quote]. You can read more at this site:

You should also know I am the same "Gloria Poole" who draws, paints and sketches, and photographs often and who has other blogs including some for displaying art I create.
