Hard to Read

There are a few instances in life where people tell us things we never forget.  This week, for better or for worse, I heard such a statement.

I was told, "Caroline, you are hard to read."  It was quite an intense situation--a tense conflict with the core issue being LIFE.  It's kinda cool to be a little mysterious, eh?  It's kinda cool to know you're more than meets the eye...or is it?  Are Pro-lifers not called to be translucent, literally, just shining the light of LIFE with no silly obstructions?  Or is it LIFE that is "hard to read" and when we are translucent the watching world cannot understand how we MUST LOVE the littlest among us?

I like to think the latter.  I like to think that being a believer in an unbelieving world and being and lover of life is a world that hates LIFE is "hard to read."  I like to think that being Pro-Life with no excuses or exceptions is just hard to read.  People don't wanna read you so they ignore you.  Just like the Bible.

If it's out of sight it can be out of mind.

If a little baby, only 9 weeks after conception, is out of sight than I don't have to realize it's real.  And when I see it, I don't want to understand so I choose to believe it's just "hard to read."

Sometimes the simplest, brightest, and most translucent ideas are the ones that are most hated.

And I say, let's not hate our preborns and let's transparently tell everyone that our preborns matter.  They matter a lot.
