Want To Have Baby...Go To Church


http://komotv.com/stories/35052.htm

<snip>
SNOHOMISH COUNTY - Sunday service held special meaning for hundreds of couples in Bothell who are all praying for a child.

Cedar Park Church held their annual "Presentation Sunday" service where the power of prayer is used to help infertile couples.

Couples like Polly and Steve Gustafson have tried to have a baby for several years.

1. This is clearly the most important news story of the day
TO put it another way, why do you think this story demands our attention?

2. Sick making
And of course the odds are reasonably good that a handful of these couples will eventually have a baby, and they will attribute it to their prayer session.

Give me a break!

3. There are millions of children on Earth that need a home...
... but they are not "white."

6. Or they're not newborns
Or they have some disability, minor or major, doesn't matter.

They don't want a child. They want clones.

4. That's why I'm not pregnant yet.
I always thought it took a man and a woman.

Silly me.
