God made sex to be pleasurable. Some settle for pain.
A neighbor of Elaine Riddick settled for pain. He raped Elaine Riddick.
Pleasure and friendship are supposed to go together in God's design. A wife/lover says about her husband/lover in Song of Solomon 5:16 Amplified Bible, "His voice and speech are exceedingly sweet; yes, he is altogether lovely [the whole of him delights and is precious]. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem!"
A good, loving friend speaks well and seeks to do good deeds. A friend is faithful shutting the door of opportunity to evil. Elaine Riddick's unloving, unfriendly neighbor opened the door to personal and public pain and evil. Racists, sexists, elitists, etc. like Wallace Kuralt (Read more here: http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2013/08/08/4223519/alice-mae-jackson-and-eugenics.html#.UjHJM3_mViM#storylink=cpy,) Clarence Gamble, MD, (Maafa 21 video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02t3Wqg-4Iw) and Margaret Sanger of Planned Parenthood (Watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsrOPDdbTzM) are eager to walk through doors opened to evil.
After Elaine Riddick was raped at the age of 13, North Carolina state sterilized her while she was giving birth to her son. Watch this video of a CNN interview in which Elaine Riddick says about her North Carolina state-sponsored forced sterilization "Later on because of my body was traumatized so severely I ended up having to have a total hysterectomy. But prior to that before I had the hysterectomy most of my life was I had to live in a lot of pain, hemorrhaging .... When I got my monthly cycle ... it felt like someone had taken a knife and was gutting me .... My menstrual cycle ... wasn't normal because it lasted ... 12 to 15 days at a time, and this happened from the time ... after I had my son from the time I was 14 until I got into my 40s when I eventually did have to have a total hysterectomy" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzYQLHHCxq8.
Some may think, "Well, I'm not a rapist." Are you engaging in partner sex outside of marriage? If yes, you are also opening the door to pain and evil.
Looking for love Hannah Rose landed in uncommitted sexual relationships, abortion at Planned Parenthood and miscarriage. She writes in her September 2, 2013, http://www.roseandherlily.com/ blog post "Sometimes it's so hard to wrap my mind around it all... sometimes I am caught off guard with moments of grief, the grief of my loss of my two babies, as well as the loss of my innocence."
Many marriages are also not celebrating friendship and sex because of infidelity. Read my article "Sex, Lies and Education" at http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2013/04/sex-lies-and-education.html.
Infidelity comes in wide varieties. Read my article "Silent Rapes" at http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2013/04/silent-rapes.html.
While God does not will for us to have partner sex outside of marriage, He wills for us to enjoy sex inside of marriage. God does not want any of us to be afraid of sexuality and try to stomp it out. God created sexuality. What God creates is good, beautiful and excellent provided we participate in God's creation according to His design. God designed sex to bond marital couples. Sometimes sex leads to reproduction. Read my article "Fearless Sex" at http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2013/01/fearless-sex.html.
God is also the creator of human life no matter how life is conceived, and He wills for us to love people. Elaine Riddick said in a CNN interview about her son, Tony Riddick, "Someone asked me a question the other day. How do we get along? Do I have certain feelings towards him as far as you know reminding me that he was a product of rape. No, that's my son, and I love him very much, and he's a special gift from God. That's how I look at it." 1 John 4:18-20 Amplified Bible says, "There is no fear in love [dread does not exist], but full-grown (complete, perfect) love turns fear out of doors and expels every trace of terror! For fear brings with it the thought of punishment, and [so] he who is afraid has not reached the full maturity of love [is not yet grown into love’s complete perfection]. We love Him, because He first loved us. If anyone says, I love God, and hates (detests, abominates) his brother [in Christ], he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, Whom he has not seen."
Fear of people causes death by abortion and all kinds of other evil. The spirit of fear is behind China's one-child policy. In 1995, when Guo Yanling was eight months pregnant, she was forced to abort her son. In 1999, she was forcibly sterilized. In 2006, she was imprisoned for not being able to pay a fine for having more than one child. The Chinese government also refused to issue household registrations to her and to her husband, Du Yiliang's, three children without which they are unable to attend school or receive government benefits. Guo Yanling's and Du Yiliang's abortion, sterilization, educational and economic terror experience is typical in China. "Numerous forced-abortion tragedies occur in China every single day," says Pastor Bob Fu, president of ChinaAid Association. What isn't nearly as typical is that with ChinaAid’s help, Guo Yanling and Du Yiliang have been granted refugee status by the UN High Commission on Refugees. Read more about Guo Yanling, Du Yiliang and family at http://www.chinaaid.org/2013/03/with-chinaaid-help-two-victims-of-china.html. They also welcome notes of encouragement to Du Yiliang and Guo Yanling, requests for interviews and financial contributions to ChinaAid's Emergency Relief Fund.
Whether we live in China, North Carolina, other parts of America and other parts of the globe God loves us and desires for us to live well with great joy. God does not want us to be passive and refuse to participate in good deeds. Are you a victim of American state-sponsored sterilization? Don't let threats or pressure stop you from standing up for what's right. You are lovable to God, and God wants you to love yourself and other people. A Persian proverb says, "Opportunity should be grabbed." In North Carolina $10 million is to be split equally among those sterilized through the North Carolina Eugenics Board. Compensation claims must be filed by June 30, 2014, for victims to receive a one-time payment to be distributed June 30, 2015. North Carolina had a eugenics board from the 1930s through the 1970s through which social workers, family and others arranged for people to be sterilized. If you think you are one of the victims, you can ask the North Carolina Justice for Sterilization Victims Foundation to check the North Carolina Eugenic Board's records by completing and mailing them this form: http://www.sterilizationvictims.nc.gov/documents/FirstPartyVerificationform.pdf. Sometimes people are not able to speak up for themselves and need advocates. If you are not a victim, but are an advocate for a victim, you can ask the North Carolina Justice for Sterilization Victims Foundation to check the North Carolina Eugenic Board's records by completing and mailing them this form with required attachments: http://www.sterilizationvictims.nc.gov/documents/ThirdPartyVerificationform.pdf. These forms are verification and not a guarantee of compensation. In South Africa Desmond Tutu retired as archbishop to head the Truth and Reconciliation Commission that exposed many of the evils done under apartheid, so that evil may be stopped and good promoted. North Carolina is not the only American state that did state-sponsored sterilizations. Other states need to apologize to, financially compensate victims and erase all forms of "family planning" evil. If you have filed a verification form, please share your experience and inspire others. Write to:

For with God, Nothing Is Impossible
"Blessed are the common people. God loves them: that is why he made millions of them," says Nnamdi Azikiwe, first president of independent Nigeria. Sometimes what God makes others destroy through abortion. Abortion kills baby girls and baby boys. Abortion also harms all members of a family.
A ChinaAid News March 24, 2013, "With ChinaAid's Help, Two Victims of China's One-Child Policy Granted UNHCR Refugee Status" article reports that in 1995, when Guo Yanling was eight months pregnant, she was forced to have an abortion. In 1999, she was forcibly sterilized. In 2006, she was imprisoned for not being able to pay a fine for having more than one child. The Chinese government also refused to issue household registrations to her and to her husband, Du Yiliang's, three children without which they are unable to attend school or to receive government benefits.

Bob Fu himself has gone through the refugee experience. Fu was born in China. When Bob Fu, and his wife, Heidi, were pregnant with their first child without a pregnancy permission card required by China's one child policy, they were facing a forced abortion if caught. So the couple left China, went to Thailand and then Hong Kong. In Hong Kong, their son Daniel was born as a refugee and later the family was granted permission to live in the United States.
That's pretty incredible, but creyentes (believers) serve an incredible God who likes to do extraordinary things for creyentes. Luke 1:37 Complete Jewish Bible says, "For with God, nothing is impossible.”
Whether an abortion is forced or not anywhere in the world, a baby girl or a baby boy still is killed. Killing and kindness just don't go together. A comprehensive investigation of the abortion industry is needed.
Fifteen-year old Denise Montoya hemorrhaged and died after a 26-week abortion done by Douglas Karpen. "“When he did an abortion, especially an over 20 week abortion, most of the time the fetus would come completely out before he cut the spinal cord or he introduced one of the instruments into the soft spot of the fetus, in order to kill the fetus,” said Deborah Edge, who worked as a surgical assistant for Karpen for about 15 years until leaving in March, 2011;" read more at http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/15/another-gosnell-report-shows-texas-abortion-doc-kills-babies-born-alive/.
Kermit Gosnell, another abortionist who performed abortions in all trimesters of pregnancy, killed babies born alive after botched abortions and killed women, is now in jail. Douglas Karpen is not. How many Douglas Karpen's and Kermit Gosnell's are there?
Nothing is impossible; abortion and abortionists can be stopped.

You Cannot Borrow a Face
At age 16 Mary Shadd taught African American students. As an adult in addition to teaching and public speaking, she started a weekly newspaper, The Provincial Freeman, which was geared to help African Americans with life in the Northern United States, and she married Thomas Cary. Later on Mary Shadd Cary became a recruiting officer for the Union army.
After African Americans were freed from slavery and colored men got the right to vote, women of all races still could not vote in America. Some men and women were organized to help women secure the right to vote. Mary Ann Shadd Cary organized the Colored Women's Progressive Franchise Association and became a lawyer in her senior years.
Mary Shadd Cary was always doing something for freedom, equality and justice. She says, "It is better to wear out than to rust out."
Creyentes (believers) who are reinas y reyes (queens and kings) are called to fight the life-long good fight of faith in our good God against that which is evil. Saul, who later became the Apostle Paul, met Jesus Christ on a road in Damascus, Syria. Saul was so impressed that he spent the rest of his life traveling and telling people of various cultures and languages about a now and eternal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton writes in her Declaration of Sentiments, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men and women are created equal." The Apostle Paul writes in Galatians 3:28 Amplified Bible, "There is [now no distinction] neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is not male and female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus."
Sometimes the truth about equality takes time to take hold in a society. All societies have people who are not treated equally. A ChinaAid News March 24, 2013, "With ChinaAid's Help, Two Victims of China's One-Child Policy Granted UNHCR Refugee Status" article reports that in 1995, when Guo Yanling was eight months pregnant, she was forced to have an abortion.

In America if you are unborn and suspected of having a disability, you can be legally killed via abortion. Even if you are unborn and not suspected of having a disability, you can be killed for virtually any reason at all stages of pregnancy. American state abortion law has some variation. The Kermit Gosnell case is one that exposed that babies are also born alive but then killed after botched abortions. The following LifeNews.com link shows that Douglas Karpen is a Kermit-Gosnell-type abortionist killing unborn babies, babies born live after botched abortions and women: http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/15/another-gosnell-report-shows-texas-abortion-doc-kills-babies-born-alive/; "“When he did an abortion, especially an over 20 week abortion, most of the time the fetus would come completely out before he cut the spinal cord or he introduced one of the instruments into the soft spot of the fetus, in order to kill the fetus,” said Deborah Edge, who worked as a surgical assistant for Karpen for about 15 years until leaving in March, 2011;" 15-year old Denise Montoya hemorrhaged and died after a 26-week abortion done by Karpen.
How many abortionists are like Kermit Gosnell and Douglass Karpen? Where is the extensive media coverage of what goes on inside abortion clinics?
An African proverb from the nation Angola says, "You can borrow a basket and a sieve; you cannot borrow a face." Once people are killed via abortion, they cannot get their life back.

Who Is A True Advocate for Diversity and Equality?
God loves diversity and equality. Both Abraham and Daniel are mighty men of God. Abraham is a prophet and the patriarch of creyentes (believers). He had eight children. Daniel is a prophet. He had no children. Jesus Christ asked John the apostle to take care of Mary. The book of Luke chapter eight reveals that women took care of many of Jesus' ministry needs.
Some use prenatal genetic testing to seek out the disabled and kill them. Others use their disabilities to glorify God and do good works for people. Nick Vujicic was born without arms and legs. While it would be wonderful to have arms and legs, he uses what God has given him to be an evangelist, motivational speaker, author, entrepreneur (http://www.lifewithoutlimbs.org) and to live life to the fullest. Vujicic is also marred to Kanae Miyahara, and the couple have a son named Kiyoshi James Vujicic.
Some sickness and disabilities are acquired after birth. International Bible Teacher Joyce Meyer had breast cancer. Due to early detection, the cancer was caught when it was tiny. Today she is cancer free. Chen Guangcheng became blind due to a childhood illness. He is a self-taught lawyer who helped disabled people in China gain public benefits. He also filed a 2005 class action lawsuit against local authorities practicing forced abortions and forced sterilizations as part of China's one child policy. Guangcheng is active in multiple issues. Currently he is involved in the Defending Freedom Project, a coalition of governmental leaders and human rights groups working to free prisoners of conscience across the globe.
Has anyone seen any coverage of Pastor and US citizen Saeed Abedini in the major secular media? Pastor Abedini is in Evin prison in Tehran, Iran, being persecuted for his Christian faith. Write to him and sign a petition at http://www.savesaeed.org.
Some people think it's a waste of time to study foreign languages. Former South African President Nelson Mandela doesn't think so. Speaking someone's language can open up relationships.
Sunday is Pentecost which celebrates the birth of the Christian church. In Acts 2 the beginning of the church was multilingual and multicultural. God is not just concerned with one group of people. He is concerned about everyone. God has creyentes (believers) who are reinas y reyes (queens and kings) in all parts of the globe. God wants us to have a relationship with Him and people. He is not for erasing culture and language.
God is not only interested in us, He is also interested in everything around us. While everyone will not be rich, having an abundance of resources can be used for good. Wouldn't it be awesome to be able to live well on 10 percent of your income and give away 90 percent? 1 Timothy 6:17-19 Complete Jewish Bible says, "As for those who do have riches in this present world, charge them not to be proud and not to let their hopes rest on the uncertainties of riches but to rest their hopes on God, who richly provides us with all things for our enjoyment. Charge them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, to be generous and ready to share. In this way they will treasure up for themselves a good foundation for the future, so that they may lay hold of the real life." Nigeria is the largest oil producer in Africa. Nigeria has the world's 10th-largest oil reserves and 7th-largest natural gas reserves. One good use of wealth is to ensure religious freedom for people. What are some good works coming out of Nigeria?
Another good use of wealth is to produce educational materials to overcome evil with good. The following LifeNews.com link shows that Kermit Gosnell is not the only abortionists killing late-term unborn babies, babies born live after botched abortions and women: http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/15/another-gosnell-report-shows-texas-abortion-doc-kills-babies-born-alive/.
How many abortionists are like Kermit Gosnell and Douglas Karpen? Where is the extensive media coverage of what goes on inside abortion clinics? Abortion affects everyone. Some hot spot coverage exists in China and America. What about regular stories about the survivors of abortion? Gospel Singer and US Citizen Fred Hammond was almost aborted, but he survived it and is still living. There is an endless potential supply of stories about China's one child policy with forced abortions and forced sterilizations.
