This decade is coming to an end; the second of the “new” millennium. Time marches on and this millennium has brought changes that were not even imagined 20 years ago. The law of unintended consequences has overtaken much of our culture.

In a quick Google search of “conversion therapy”, the first 9 links are to articles either opposed or hysterically opposed to the concept of providing assistance to people seeking to leave a homosexual or transgender lifestyle. Like many other issues related to sexuality and world view, socio-political leftists have embraced a narrow view restricting the right of any person seeking deliverance from unwanted same-sex attraction and behaviour to engage competent, professional help.

Sadly, the world was reminded this past Friday of the threat of terrorism that could arise at any time. The heroics in England on the London Bridge reminded me again of the power of one person who refuses to submit.

​In recent news, we learned that undercover investigator David Daleiden—the man who secretly recorded Planned Parenthood executives talking about their illicit organ-harvesting and sale of baby parts—was found guilty by a jury of multiple crimes. His offense? Exposing the criminal and hideous black-market operations of the abortion giant.

​The voters have voted. Justin Trudeau will return to Parliament as Prime Minister, albeit with a minority government. But why?
