Crazy abortion debate

For those of you that listened to the show today, thank you. As most of you know I have a internet radio show and this week we had two guests on, one was Don Nelson from Nevada Life and the other was James Louallen from The Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice (sounds like an oxymoron to me). Well saying that the debate got a little heated is a HUGE understatement! The show ended with Mr. Louallen hanging up on us.... I loved every minute of it! Listen to it at www.straightuptalk.org its episode 12 (should be featured). Once you have heard it feel free to leave your thoughts on it here or you can email me at anthony@straightuptalk.org

I was way nervous about the show because it was my show this week. I did everything from set the topic to arrange the guests and compile the questions. It took forever to find a pro-choice advocate to come on the show (I had two others tell me no and one of them said I was anti-rights-freedom) once I found the RCRC I was really hoping they would get someone on because I cant comprehend how someone who claims to be Christian can be for abortion. When I contacted them, I was sent an email that said in order to get some one on the show I had to agree to follow four "guidelines":
1. Speakers are not interupted
2. if a debate arises it is civil
3. at no time will we be accused of murder
4. use respectful terms: we are "pro-choice" not "pro-abortion"

right out of the guest when my pro life advocate got on he called them pro-abortion and then the person from the RCRC interrupted him soon after so 2 of the 4 rules were broken by both parties in less than one minute of them being on the show together! (it was kinda exciting but I was afraid the pro-choice advocate was gonna hang up on me). within the first 10 to 15 minutes all four rules were broken and they both stated getting fairly personal ....Mr. Louallen called Mr. Nelson a liar and an idiot I believe and Mr. Nelson said that Mr. Louallen was a joke and was good at throwing up dust (the dust comment wasn't very far from the truth). Overall it was an awesome show and I learned a lot about what some members of the pro-choice side believe. There is so much that happened in the show that if I tried to write it all down this would be one crazy long blog!! (Mr. Louallen quoted scripture than when we quoted it he said he didn't take the scripture literally AHH!)

So you should all listen to the show and let me know what you think. I enjoyed it for sure! Again, the shows site is www.straightuptalk.org and if you would rather call in and leave a voicemail for our show (24 hrs.) than email (anthony@staightuptalk.org) you can do so by calling 775-908-4365

Don't give up!

At work today I was talking to one of the girls and I mentioned that I was going to school so i could become the head of whatever business I end up doing. Her reply was that there was no way this could happen because I had tried something previously and it wasn't working out so hot. At first i brushed it off but then I started thinking about it... what a crazy way to think about things! I did a little research and I found out that Thomas Edison tried some 15,000 different materials for the light bulb until they found the right one. Can you imagine what would have happened if they gave up after the first try? I would be in the dark right now and we would be in a completely different world (think of all the things we use light for).

People always say 'If at first you don't succeed, try and try again' that's at least half true because you should never give up on a dream (unless told so by Godly counsel but that's a different subject that I don't even want to dive into) but in choosing to try again in again learn from each time you fail and change something in what you did and keep changing until you finally you fulfill your dream. (even if it take 15,000 tries)

God bless,

Realization

When I began this blog I wanted to do somthing different and not be like every other dumb kid with a blog that whines about life.... but here is one of the few blogs I am going to write about my life:

I have been out of high school for about a year and a half and since then I think I have talked to 3 maybe 4 friends from school. I had the type of friends that would hang out with you at school but not outside of it. I only had a few I actually hung out with. I figured it wouldn't bother me because I have never had a ton of friends (as far as school.... still have church friends) but anyways there is this one friend that i have tried really hard to stay friends with and for some reason the feelings don't seem to reciprocate. She has lost most of her friends as well but for some reason even though I attempt to find time to hang out she dosnt really seem interested. I don't understand why you would not want to keep the friends that are still interested in hanging out,

well thanks for being part of my venting (at least it has nothing to do with Cornerstone lol)

God bless and goodnight,
Anthony
