Contrary to what I beleived before I began this work, most of the women we see aren't pregnant because of an act of promiscious self-gratification. They're pregnanct because the act occured in a life marred through and through with the effects of sin--and not just the sin of the mother, but the sin of the father, the grandparents, my sin and the sin that keeps people in poverty and bad choices. I have gone from being hard-hearted (believing I should help them but make sure they don't abuse our services or the community's social services) to compassionate, realizing that my soft spirit toward them may be the first step in the Spirit's wooing. About death with dignity...I understand what you're saying about death itself being the antithesis of dignity, but the process of dying in the Lord can have dignity. I'll never be the same since seeing God's realm fill the room as my father died. His beautiful, shining face is imprinted in my memory forever. The light in the room changed, and we all saw it, even those of my family who weren't expecting it. It tangibly showed me how beloved my father was to the Lord. It was consistent with what I knew of my father's faith, but how good of the Lord to demonstrate it to all my family!
