NW Bishops Encouraged by Visit with Pope Francis

Last updated on: November 14, 2024 at 11:01 am By Rebecca Hamilton

Sixteen Catholic bishops from Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and Alaska met Francis Feb. 3. They came away encouraged by the Holy Father’s openness and what they termed his “openness” in his conversation with them. From National Catholic Reporter: Bishops from the northwestern United States spent more than two and half hours with Pope Francis and came away talking about his small gestures and, especially, his understanding and encouragement. Sixteen bishops — including auxiliaries and retired bishops — from Washington, Oregon,... Read more

Christian Persecution and Conversion in N Korea

Last updated on: November 14, 2024 at 11:13 am By Rebecca Hamilton

Christian persecution in North Korea is harsh and severe. This video gives a view of what living in that totalitarian state is like, not just for Christians, for for everyone. Dictators are right to fear genuine Christianity. The Gospels lift people up and make them free. The Gospels say that every human being is made in the Image and Likeness of God. Totalitarian states cannot operate if that vision catches hold. That is why totalitarian states seek to either eradicate... Read more

Pope Francis Gives Teaching on the Bible

ProLife Dems: “The Dem Platform Says We Don’t Belong”

Last updated on: November 14, 2024 at 5:38 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

Kristen Day holds one of the most thankless positions around. She’s the Executive Director of Democrats for Life of America. What that means in real life is that she gets to be treated like a pariah among the Democrats and then she’s shoved aside, regarded with suspicion and generally dissed by other pro life people. She’s also forced to do a lot of hand-holding and supporting of pro life Democrats around the country as they get whammed around, attacked... Read more

Freedom is Not Free.

Last updated on: November 14, 2024 at 5:44 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

We are Americans. We are free to, as Wesley said, think and let think. We are also our government. Did you get that last? America is governed by the people. As Lincoln phrased it, we have a “government of the people, by the people and for the people.” He ended that phrase by saying “should not perish.” That government of the people, by the people and for the people should not perish. Lincoln first said that at the dedication... Read more

Isis Leader Comes to Christ.

Last updated on: November 14, 2024 at 6:01 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

Never stop praying for anyone. Every person on this earth is made in the Image and Likeness of God, and every single one of them is welcome at His table. All they have to do is say “yes” to Jesus and then follow Him. The most unlikely people have found their way to Christ, St Paul persecuted Christians, participated in the murder of St Stephen, and was actually on his way to imprison and kill the Christians in Damascus when...

Walking Mama Home, Won’t Eat and Bedsores Edition

Last updated on: November 14, 2024 at 6:09 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

My 94-year-old mother has developed a sore on the lower part of her back. I think it’s from a combination of sitting in a wheelchair for long hours and not eating. She simply isn’t getting enough protein to build tissue. Mama struggled with weight all her life. When she was my age, she weighed well over 200 pounds. Today, she weighs 92 pounds, and that’s with both her nurses and me doing all we can to get her to... Read more

This is Our House. I Won’t Be Part of Burning It Down.

Last updated on: November 14, 2024 at 6:16 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

I just published a post which made it clear that I am not going to allow the bishops to vote me in the upcoming elections. I also said that we have the votes to overturn Roe on the Supreme Court. While it is true that we do have the votes, it is also true that the Court has sent mixed signals about abortion since Kavanaugh was confirmed. I’ve been queasy about some of the more outlandish “pro life” bills that... Read more

Sorry Mr Bishop. I’m Not Going to Let You Vote Me.

Last updated on: November 14, 2024 at 6:23 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

There’s more to being a legislator than casting votes. Most of the things you do require conversations with other legislators. It can be difficult to catch other legislators to talk to them because everyone is pin-balling between meetings, events and what-not. The best time to have a convo is often while you’re on the House floor together, debating and voting on bills. That requires getting up from your desk and walking around the floor. It also means that you... Read more
