Very excited, I joined and became a member of the Sno-King Community Chorale tonight directed and conducted by the one and only Mr. Frank DeMiero.  Frank was my high school Men's Glee teacher my sophomore year at Mountlake Terrace High School.

Abortion Bills - Contact Your State Lawmakers

  Contact your state lawmakers regarding abortion bills Friday, February 5, 2021 1:30am OPINION LETTERS               Jan. 22, 2021 was the 48th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court abortion decision, which codified abortion as law of the land. In other words, destroying or killing unborn human beings is not only legal, but is acceptable in America. How sinfully tragic that unborn human life is clearly not valued as 63 million infants since 1973 have lost their lives to abortion, violating our most basic right, the right to life. In Washington state, there are several pieces of legislation of concern. I urge you to contact your local representatives on the following: HB 1008, prohibiting abortion on the basis of Down syndrome, yes; SB 5053, requiring notification to parents or guardians in cases of abortion, yes; HB 1009, concerning extending higher education student health plan coverage to include abortion, no. Further, the following are also important matters: HB 1031 and SB 5072, c

Safe, Legal, and Rare: Seriously! January 22, 2019

Pregnancy termination is certainly legal in the U.S.  Yet, this barbaric procedure still extracts a real cost, not in dollars, but human lives.       More than 60 million abortions were performed in America since January 22, 1973 when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled abortion legal in all nine months of pregnancy. Planned Parenthood terminated 321,384 pregnancies in just one year according to its most recent annual report for 2016 to 2017 .  Washington abortionists committed nearly 19,230 abortions in 2014 as stated by Planned Parenthood’s research arm, Guttmacher Institute, representing 2.1% of all abortions in the United States.      Operation Rescue , a national pro-life organization, tracks the appalling human stories silently left behind following legal abortion. Their website Abortion911.com is dedicated to proving that “abortion is not safe” as medical emergencies accounted f

Patience, Perseverence, Prayer

PATIENCE, PERSEVERENCE, PRAYER          For over 20 years, I had this indescribable feeling deep within my being, aching to see my birthmother.  I longed to meet her before she passed away.   This “feeling” never escaped me.  I wanted to know, touch and hug her.  I always knew God heard my prayers.  Might he also answer them?      I began searching for my birthmother in 1981.  Washington Adoptee’s Reunion Movement (WARM) was the official agency within Washington State to unseal court records.  I learned of my “non-identifying information” through WARM.      My birthmother was 21 at the time of delivery.  She had brown hair and blue eyes.  Nine siblings were in her Catholic family and she was of German ancestry.  I discovered my grandmother had tuberculosis and died of Alzheimer’s while my grandfather had heart problems and died of cancer.           Lastly, I learned my conception was due to rape.  The Confidential Intermediary for WARM stated I likely would not meet m
