    My sister’s baby is due in six weeks, and we have enjoyed feeling kicks and watching bumps. Last night, C1 hurt herself a bit and cried. Instantly, Ruth’s unborn baby started thrashing about in empathy… Every time one of the older kids gets hurt, C1 does a fake low whimpering squeal in empathy. She definitely feels their pain!… C1 has a dolly that starts with a cry, makes more different sounds, and finally laughs. C1 knows exactly how to treat the dolly during each sound. She hugs, pats and comforts at the first cry, and mimics the other ones, and laughs when her baby laughs.

    In Europe, Children Growing Hard to Find

    “When citizens are taking pictures of couples with children because it is so rare to see such a sight you know the country has failed. In Europe, if you have three or more children, it is common to be stopped and asked to pose for a picture.”

    The Best Toys $5 Can Buy

    We added almost all of these things to the children’s Christmas gifts. Typically, it is a challenge to keep them supplied in tape and paper. Once they get all their Lego built, it will be interesting to see what messes creations they will make with the crafty stuff.

    Fascinating Study About How Mothers Are Helped By Their Unborn Children

    Science: Mothers retain fetal cells with healing properties
    http://kansansforlife.wordpress.com/2011/12/05/science-mothers-retain-fetal-cells-with-healing-properties/

    “The report examined the increasing evidence that ‘when a woman has a baby, she gets not just a son or daughter, [but] an army of protective cells– gifts from her children that will stay inside her and defend her for the rest of her life…’”

    “Chiming in was Carol Artlett, a researcher at Philadelphia’s Thomas Jefferson University, ‘even if a woman has a miscarriage or an abortion, even if there is no baby, the cells of an unborn child will stay in the mother for decades… essentially forever.’”

    “Having spent 14 years holding nightly conversations with the devil, he had a blinding vision of Christ who told him to end the killings and convert.”

    | December 25, 2011

    I’ve read hundreds of articles this year, but this definitely takes the cake. Wow. What a story! Keep in mind that in North America, we live in the “civilized” part of the world when we only pay professionals to dismember our unborn on the altar of convenience. We have easy access to filthy child pornography that is rampant on the internet. In our public schools, we teach our children in graphic detail how they are expected to fornicate.

    “And Peter said unto them, Repent and be baptized, every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” Acts 2:38

    Face to face with General Butt Naked – ‘the most evil man in the world’
    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1333465/Liberias-General-Butt-Naked-The-evil-man-world.html#ixzz1haQgkBsA

    “He describes how he was told first by his father, then by his tribal elders that he was born to be a warrior.”

    “On the orders of the elders, he was conceived and taken from his mother minutes after birth.”

    “Aged seven, his father handed him to the elders who tutored him in the rituals of the priesthood…”

    “The elders bring a little girl, unclothe her and smear her body with clay. The priest slays the child.”

    “In a ritual that spans three days, her heart and other body parts are removed and eaten.”

    “In the course of those days the priest has a vision: he meets the devil who tells him he will become a great warrior.”

    “The devil says to increase his power he must continue the rituals of child sacrifice and cannibalism.”

    “The initiation is complete and the priest is now one of the most powerful leaders in West Africa. The priest is 11 years old.”

    “As prophesied, the boy priest grew up to become one of Liberia’s most notorious warlords: General Butt Naked.”

    “He and his boy soldiers would charge into battle naked apart from boots and machine guns.”

    “The initiation sacrifice that he carried out aged 11 was the first life he took out of the 20,000 deaths for which he now claims responsibility…”

    “As a priest, he says, he would have a vision about a chosen child. He would tell the elders the child’s village, the family name, and certain secrets of that child known only to the family.”

    “The elders would then lead a procession to the child’s house, known as ‘the House of Honour’.”

    “The child would often remain oblivious until the moment came where he was taken away from the village to the altar, where he would be stripped and covered in a type of mud.”

    ‘As priest, I said the invocation. The child is killed. His body has different, different parts taken off…’

    “Yet the turning point came. It was the summer of 1996 and his clansmen were caught up in a ferocious battle.”

    “It was decided that a sacrifice was needed. As the rockets rained down, a mother brought her three-year-old daughter to him.”

    “Something about the child struck the pitiless General and for the first time in his life he hesitated.”

    “As he relives the moment with me, his face becomes contorted.”

    “‘The child was very unusually beautiful and kind. Most of the children are brought to me by the elders, they’re crying, they’re fighting. This child was peaceful,’ he recalls. ‘I thought, “This child must not die.” I struggled.”

    “‘Of all of the thousands that I killed, I wish I did not kill that little girl . . . ‘ his voice trails off.”

    “He is close to tears for the first and only time. ‘Right after killing her, I had my epiphany…’”

    “What is indisputable is that during Liberia’s 14 years of civil war, the man became known as one of the most inhumane and ruthless guerrilla leaders in Africa’s history.”

    “After the former General Butt Naked confessed his past to Liberia’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) in 2008, one internet blogger asked: ‘Is this the most evil man who ever lived?’”

    “His crimes included child sacrifice, cannibalism, the exploitation of child soldiers and trading blood diamonds for guns and cocaine, which he fed to boy soldiers as young as nine.”

    “Yet today he says he is a reformed man. In July 1996, the warlord had ‘an epiphany’.”

    “Having spent 14 years holding nightly conversations with the devil, he had a blinding vision of Christ who told him to end the killings and convert.”

    “This was a Damascene conversion like no other: the former tribal priest and warlord is now known as Pastor Joshua Milton Blahyi.”

    “Aged 39, he is married, a father of three and lives as a Christian preacher…”

    “He claims he saw a white light in the shape of a man. A voice told him, ‘repent and live or refuse and die’. He believes it was Christ.”
