 Beginning next week, a task force set up by the American Psychological Association (APA) will begin reviewing the organization's 10-year-old policy on homosexuality, which opposes counseling that treats same-sex attraction as a mental illness, but does not forbid various therapies that address unwanted same-sex attraction. Centers for Decency and Focus on the Family has joined more than 250 pro-family organizations and individuals in urging the APA to recognize the religious beliefs of clients and to allow those who struggle with unwanted same-sex attraction to receive therapy. The letter is signed by the Southern Baptist Convention, Assemblies of God, Church of the Nazarene, the American Association of Christian Counselors, the National Board of Christian Clinical Therapists and more than 22 higher-education institutions.

End Trafficking The TIP office and hundreds of United States non-governmental organizations (NGOs), including Centers for Decency (CfD), Concerned Women for America (CWA), are working to end modern day slavery –– the world-wide practice of treating people as disposable commercial commodities. Thanks to the vision of President George W. Bush, the United States is leading the way in ending this scourge on humanity. In fact, as the ambassador noted, “A movement of faith-based groups, feminists, government officials, legislators, international agencies and brave individual advocates have closed ranks” to end trafficking. Ambassador Lagon’s remarks provided a passionate summary: “Around the world, as a function of U.S. Government leadership, there has been a real paradigm shift in awareness about human trafficking, and a sensitivity that victims are just that –– victims, not criminals or illegal aliens.” Sex Trafficking Victims: Disposable or Human

Twenty years ago, disbarred Duke prosecutor Mike Nifong would have been Time magazine's Man of the Year. Vanity Fair would have photographed him sitting in a Porsche under the headline: "Speaking Truth to Power." One hundred years ago, he would have been lynching innocent black men. Southern liberals have stayed the same; only their victims have changed. To watch the complete destruction of this foolish and evil man, Michael Nifong -- despite the mainstream media's best efforts to portray him as a modern-day Atticus Finch -- is as great a moment as the annihilation of Dan Rather. Katie Couric's self-immolation is just a bonus -- when it rains, it pours!

 The Heart Mothers build people. They carry on selflessly day after day performing a task that requires everything of them. I believe they have one of the most demanding and most rewarding jobs possible.
One of the misguided ideas about women is that we are weaker than men, and that is just not true. Yes, the Bible does say in 1 Peter 3:7 that women are physically weaker than men, but it never indicates that they are weaker in any other way. The fact is, it takes an incredible amount of resources—physical, mental, emotional and spiritual—to be a wife and/or mother, care for a home, and in many cases hold a job. It’s true that I may not be able to get the lid off the mayonnaise jar, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have tremendous endurance. I am not weak, and I am not a quitter…and neither are you.
