It's a New Year and Interest Rates Being Paid Are … Well ….
When most folks planned to retire, it was their hope, if not expectation, that they'd live at least in part off the interest earned on savings deposits. Then the great recession hit, and interest earned dropped dramatically. As of press time, the Federal Reserve has raised interest rates twice in three months. Still, interest on a six-month certificate of deposit averaged 0.14 percent. Last year at this time it was 0.13 percent. Meanwhile, many folks wonder if there's some way—indeed any way—to get a higher return on their money. The answer is yes, there is, and it can also be designed to let you do some good in the Lord. This can be done through either of two vehicles: a Charitable Gift Annuity or a Charitable Remainder Unitrust.
Now before I describe them, let me explain one thing. You'll notice that both of these begin with the word "charitable." That is, they were created first and foremost to leave gifts to charitable organizations (or in a narrower context, ministry—such as Lutherans For Life). That should be the main motivator in entering into an agreement to do one of these vehicles. Other benefits, such as income, tax incentives, etc., should be secondary motivators. While charitable intent should predominate, the secondary benefits have never been more attractive, in my opinion.
First, let's look at a Charitable Gift Annuity (CGA). Conventional wisdom has always held that these shouldn't be done unless you're in your 70s (and preferably your later 70s or even 80s). That's because one of the key variables—income paid—just wasn't that much, relative to other things. However, let's look at a sample CGA for a husband and wife who are both 69. They have a variety of assets, including a $25,000 certificate of deposit that's up for renewal. Instead of renewing that CD, however, they establish a CGA to benefit Lutherans For Life (which they've also supported financially in the past). Here are the benefits they will receive:
Annual interest rate: 4.5% (Please note that the rate will be reduced by slightly over 1% because of a management fee that will be levied by the administering foundation.)
Annual income of $1,125 (of which $848+ is tax free, making the return actually higher than the percentage rate cited above)
Charitable deduction of $6,839+ (also positively impacting their bottom line)
The couple would continue to receive income from the CGA guaranteed until both husband and wife die. The remaining principal will then be sent to Lutherans For Life. (Note: it's likely that this amount will be less than the original $25,000, since part of the principal will be used to pay income.) Of course, no one can predict the future when it comes to fiscal policy or interest rates. All things being equal, however, CGA payments alone as illustrated, even without the future gift, would be very positive. Even if interest rates edge up a bit higher, they will still fare comparably.
Second, let's look at the other option—a Charitable Remainder Unitrust (CRT) with the same basic variables: husband and wife both age 69 using $25,000 in cash. Here are the benefits they will receive:
Payment Rate: 5% of fair market value or $1,250 (Please note: This payment rate percentage would be reduced by slightly over 1% because of a fee that will be charged by the managing foundation. In addition, legal fees may be incurred in setting up a CRT. Lastly, annual dollars received may be reduced in future years if principal needs to be tapped to help make payments.)
Charitable Deduction: $9,863
Because of the charitable deduction, a CRT may be considered the more attractive of the two options for people under 70 years of age, particularly for those with higher incomes (e.g., if they are still working).
Of course, as with a CGA, charitable intent must be an integral factor in establishing a trust. In that regard, a CRT also has a distinct advantage over a Charitable Annuity. With a CRT, you can likewise leave the principal to a charity or ministry upon your death(s). However, after that time you can also elect to have payments continue for five, ten, or even up to 20 years to (a) loved one(s) such as children, grandchildren, etc. Once this time is completed, the principal remaining would then go to your chosen ministry.
So, the time may be right to consider either a CGA or CRT, both for financial and charitable reasons. In the case of the latter, this may also allow you to do something you've always wanted to do but haven't—leave a portion of your assets to a charity, a ministry, or specifically to Lutherans For Life before you pass on.
If you would like to know more about Charitable Annuities or Trusts, and possibly have a personalized illustration run for you (with no obligation and in complete confidence), feel free to contact me at 888.364.LIFE (5433) or .
May God bless you today and always!

Easter Guarantees That God's Love Works and Wins
"They have healed the wound of my people lightly, saying, 'Peace, peace,' when there is no peace" (Jeremiah 6:14). "I have not come to bring peace, but a sword" (Matthew 10:34b).
Affirming life is hardly a party. Speaking the truth of God's Word is no mere hobby. Showing the love of the Gospel of Jesus Christ isn't just some preference or lifestyle. Our mission is more than personal interests or political issues. This service we undertake is struggle and battle. This labor we engage in is warfare. Respecting and protecting the gift of life is THE war, and it is OUR war. We are fighting for our culture, our conscience, our civilization. As Lutherans For Life we are fighting for our country, our loved ones, our neighbors, and our future. The time for simply standing by has passed. The luxury of only looking on left long ago.
God has entered our world as Jesus Christ! He has achieved victory of life over death for us. Now we get to announce it. And we get to enact it.
You and I have become witnesses and participants. Evil makes itself barest and boldest right in the middle of the matters we attend to. Souls entangled in these injuries and scars lie within our reach, with no less than their salvation at stake. Hearts strapped to failures and trapped by fears suffer beside us, with their very lives on the line. The devil's deceptions about a person's preciousness endanger the identities and realities of those near to us. They feel ashamed and anxious, artificial and all alone. They are our own flesh and blood—and there but for the grace of God go we.
Yet joy—relentless Christian joy—belongs on this battlefield. And hope—fierce Gospel hope—is made for these frontline moments.
Brothers and sisters, here we stand, with the sword of our Creator and Savior in hand! We are raising it up—as He has raised us up—not to smite opponents or slay competitors—but to sever chains and set oppressed and even condemned prisoners free!
You know what struggling, suffering, and crumpling sin's smoldering gravity causes. And you know what deliverance, what emancipation, what blessed abandon the Gospel voice brings.
Will you enter the action alongside us? With your gift, we can plant the flag of Christ's unconditional acceptance in their hearts!
Your gift sustains the jubilant resistance by enabling us to further equip Lutherans with greater Gospel motivation as voices for life. Your gift amplifies our message that the Lord's loving actions—rather than any human abilities, efforts, accomplishments, or offerings—make every person priceless. Let's lift high the cross in every congregation and every community until all together uphold the God-given blessing each human life is!
The attacks against life are launching quicker, landing closer, and claiming casualties among people we know.
A politically driven study, conducted by a major university and published in a prominent journal, concluded in December that being denied a desired abortion affects women's mental health more adversely than undergoing the trauma of abortion.
The city of Washington, D.C., succeeded in January at sanctioning physician-assisted suicide, making it the sixth jurisdiction (and the third in the last two years) to decriminalize intentional death.
French legislation enacted in February threatens fines and prison time for websites offering information about abortion's negative physical or psychological aftereffects. (In November, French television officials forbade the airing of a video celebrating individuals with Down syndrome because it might "disturb" women who aborted because of such a diagnosis.)
Research collected in 2016 indicates that 76% of church-going post-abortive women felt their church had no influence on their abortion decision, and only 5.5% of Protestant pastors identified a life-affirming ministry in their church.
We are striving for more than stopping abortion and embryo destruction. We are aspiring to a higher aim than the end of suicide and sexual license. Our message and ministry proclaims a dying and rising with Christ that creates new hearts and new lives—and Easter guarantees that God's love works and wins.
As many as 300 callers a month (from women and men) find Gospel-healing through our counselor, Grace, at Word of Hope's post-abortion hotline (630.990.0909; www.word-of-hope.org)!
Support for unborn life has decreased the demand for abortion so much that 76% of abortion clinics open in 1991 have closed—and six states have only one clinic left!
- Lutherans For Life is recognized in more churches now than at any other time in our 40-year history as we work with seven life-affirming American Lutheran bodies—and others around the world!
Y4Life, our youth initiative, formed student-led Life Teams on six college campuses and has started developing similar relationships with Lutheran high schools!
The biblical Lutheran belief that God's grace, not one's own works, determines a person's worth has not gone silent even after 500 years. In fact, it has only grown clearer! With your gift, we will improve and expand this life-saving voice and its harvest!
The enemy has gotten so weak that he only has force and violence left. Meanwhile, we continue to invite, embrace, encourage, and care for the victims and vulnerable ones. We rejoice to share with them the Gospel perspective that every life is a sacred gift and privilege—whether prebirth, post abortion, pro-choice, in pain, or approaching death. We'd love you to unite with us!
P.S. A gift to Lutherans For Life in a loved one's name or in someone's memory makes an elegant tribute. Our online giving tool makes such designations easy—along with monthly sponsorships, electronic transfers, and a variety of other options!
After the Election
Good government, devout rulers, and faithful leaders—at any level—are always gifts from God. In our nation, elected representatives and public servants serve us as His blessing and on His behalf. One of the primary responsibilities of civil government is respecting and protecting human life. We thank our heavenly Father for a peaceable and lawful voting process yesterday, especially where it has resulted in offices being occupied by advocates for affirming every human being's God-given value.
We commend all Christians who put their faith and vocation into practice by exercising the precious right to participate in cooperative democracy that is free and fair for everyone.
Please join us in praying for those who make, administer, and judge our laws to reflect the truth, love, and life of our Lord Jesus Christ in their policies and actions until the Savior returns to bring our redemption and resurrection to fulfillment in new creation and everlasting kingdom.
2016 LFL National Conference - Here We Stand
2016 LFL National Conference Booklet
Over 200 Lutherans gathered October 21-22 at St. Michael's Lutheran Church in Bloomington, Minnesota, from across the United States and Canada for the 2016 Lutherans For Life National Conference. The theme: Here We Stand.
In her welcome to the conference, LFL President Lynette Auch said, "Could there possibly be a more appropriate conference theme than 'Here We Stand' as we step into the 500th anniversary year of the Reformation or a more appropriate verse than Ephesians 6:13: 'Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm'? There is no doubt that the days are evil and 'every one of us is in need of the righteousness that God gives freely by His grace to people who don't have righteousness of their own,' as [Martin] Luther came to understand. We need to put on the whole armor of God to stand firm in that faith … So, let us say yes to the opportunities before us that God has prepared for us to do! To say 'Here We Stand' … in defense and protection of the precious and vulnerable human lives that are the handiwork of God from the moment of conception to natural death … to teach our children and grandchildren who they are and WHOSE they are. Scripture reminds us that we are NOT our own … in defense of marriage as God designed it between one man and one woman and sex as a gift from God to be shared within the marriage bed only … Your presence here means that you support the life-affirming ministry of Lutherans For Life. May God bless you and challenge you as 'Here We Stand' For Life!"
Focusing on the conference theme in his opening worship service sermon, Rev. Michael W. Salemink, executive director of Lutherans For Life, said, "You cannot slip beyond the reaches of the long arm of the Lord God Almighty … We carry grief so heavy and guilt so haunting that we believe it a freedom to end our own lives. We haul fear so chilling and failure so choking that we tolerate terminating our sons and daughters and advocate euthanizing our mothers and fathers. We hold hearts so broken and divided that we accept lust rather than aspire to love. We drag underbellies so vulnerable and blind sides so exposed that we separate children from marriage. We lug spines so stiffened and skin so hardened that we settle for human rights instead of insisting on heaven's gifts … We should know better … We all require armor, a Savior, deliverance, redemption. We all crave compassion, forgiveness, mercy, grace. Here we stand. We do not stand alone. We never stand alone. You do not get to stand alone, but you do not have to stand alone. Another One stands in your place … Jesus Christ is the armor of God, the whole armor of God, for you and for us all. He shelters, sustains, protects, and defends any who have not and cannot do so for ourselves … Here we stand, neither stampeding nor strutting. Here we stand in joy and not out of anger, in hope and not out of fear, because we stand to forgive and not compare, to save and not compete. Here we stand to relieve and release, not to accuse. Here we stand to listen, assist, accompany, embrace, and befriend, not to attack. Here we stand speaking truth and sharing love because we stand overcoming sin and selfishness, death and the devil, and not against one another. Here we stand firm but gentle, strong but humble, even after so long and before such odds. Here we stand, Gospel-motivated voices, Lutherans For Life, because we can do no other, God help us."
In his keynote address, actor Frank Runyeon, who starred opposite Meg Ryan on the CBS soap opera As the World Turns and has appeared in more than 1,000 television episodes and movies along with hosting his own comedy radio show, spoke on "Hollywood vs. Faith – The Struggle to Live Faithfully in the Media Age." He focused on some of the biggest "funhouse mirror" distortions that Hollywood presents as truth but which are, in reality, lies, including the idea that buying more and more things can make one happy and having the perfect body will bring contentment. He shared how it is very hard for the Church to share the Gospel message in a culture saturated with self-centeredness and indiscriminate sex and violence but encouraged Lutherans For Life to continue to reach out, stay faithful, and focus on the gift of positive relationships with each other and with God.
In her plenary address, co-founder and former president of Lutherans For Life, Dr. Jean Garton, said "I'm going to make sure I'm with the right group … If you read the media, they'll tell you that people who are 'anti-choice' are rabid, rigid, ranting, raging, radical rebels. But I know that you are patient, pious, peaceful, prayerful, passionate, patriots. That's you … The naysayers have tried to bury us many times. But the truth is that this great pro-life movement of which Lutherans For Life has been a part since the very beginning, this great movement is alive and well and growing. But with our public, persistent pursuit of protection for the unborn and now, increasingly, the 'long-born,' there is a price to pay—and no surprise about that. When Jesus sent out His disciples … He said He was sending them out like sheep among the wolves. And not much has changed … We need to be prepared for the incredible battle ahead." She thanked those in attendance for the "natural, needful work that all of you do."
Dr. Garton was also the recipient of the newly revived Dominus Vitae award now given to a Lutheran who has made notable and significant contributions to the For Life movement. In presenting the award, LFL President Lynette Auch said, "At 88 years of age, Dr. Garton still travels hundreds and thousands of miles from home for speaking engagements and has devoted 47 years of her life to the pro-life movement. Why? She is quoted as saying … 'I am always fishing for brothers and sisters in the faith that we might strengthen one another and share our joy in the Lord,' and because 'in the pro-life movement, I have the opportunity to meet the finest people throughout the world … I do what I do because I cannot NOT do it."
Pre-conference events included a pastors' luncheon featuring a talk by Col. John Eidsmoe on "Preachers, Politics, and the Two Kingdoms: What Does the IRS Allow?" as well as workshops on "Helping Your Church Stand For Life" with Rev. Doug Merkey and "Giving 'Unusual' Gifts to Ministry" with John Hawkins, and a tour of the City Life Center in Minneapolis.
Other plenary speakers included Jānis Diekonts of LFL of Latvia and Rev. Don Richman, LFL's international representative, who spoke on what is happening in Russia and Latvia with life issues.
The two winners of the national essay contest sponsored by the Council of Federation Presidents (COFP) shared their winning essays on Friday night. Brooke Fandrich is an eighth grade student and member of St. John's Lutheran School and Church in Portage, Wisconsin. She is the daughter of David and Jessica Fandrich. Her essay was titled "Many Shapes and Sizes." Amanda Dressel is the high school category winner and is a sophomore at Watertown-Mayer High School. She is the daughter of Robert and Melanie Dressel and is a member of St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Watertown, Minnesota. Amanda's winning essay is titled "The Truth Behind Abortion of the Handicapped: What Our Society Isn't Seeing."
In 2017, Lutherans For Life will be having four regional conferences (instead of one national conference) in Ft. Wayne, Indiana; New Braunfels, Texas; Lincoln, Nebraska; and Pekin, Illinois. The next national conference will be in 2018. Watch for more details at a later date.

Welcome Hilary Murray
Hilary Murray began serving as mission and ministry director of Lutherans For Life this week! Please welcome her. She would love to hear from you.
Greetings in the name of the Lord!
Lutherans For Life is the best organization in the world! I am overjoyed and humbled by the opportunity to serve as mission and ministry director.
I was born to Rev. Dr. Scott Murray and Mrs. Maryann Murray in Gretna, Louisiana, in 1992. Shortly thereafter, my father took a call to Memorial Lutheran Church in Houston, Texas, where I was raised. I attended Memorial Lutheran School through eighth grade and graduated from Lutheran High North in Houston in 2010. The stellar choral department and challenging music program of Concordia University in Seward, Nebraska, were my life until I graduated in 2014 with a Bachelor of Arts in Music with an emphasis in choral conducting. Music, however, was not the only passion that took up my time in college.
In January of 2013 I attended the first-ever LCMS Life Conference (after some convincing words from my pastor). That conference taught me that I had been terrifyingly ignorant of the awful reality of abortion in this country. Through founding Bulldogs For the Unborn (now Bulldogs For Life), attending the March for Life—the largest annual peaceful protest in the country—three times, witnessing women driving into Planned Parenthood clinics alone, working with crisis pregnancy centers, and attending various other conferences, I have learned that there are many more issues at large in the life arena that are just as frightening and as pressing as abortion.
The most valuable information I have learned is that these issues desperately need to be talked about and addressed within our own Lutheran churches. Praise be to the Father who sends the Holy Spirit to work through His Word. I pray that the Holy Spirit continues His work of equipping Lutherans to be Gospel-motivated voices For Life through me in the coming years.
Your Sister For Life and In Christ,
Hilary Murray
Mission and Ministry Director
The Need Is Great, Now's the Time
Now's our chance!
Life's sanctity is seismically shifting our culture. More than 40 years of grace and truth are nearing critical mass. The message of every human being's preciousness is wobbling windows and walls and storming doors and floors throughout death's most secure strongholds. Rather than silencing the earthquake set in motion by God's crucified love and resurrected salvation, society's trembling selfishness has only allowed the Gospel of Jesus Christ to amplify. This whole land is seeing how the value He gives to all persons—by creating, redeeming, calling, and connecting us—is snowballing its most skeptical opponents.
States are honoring marginalized lives with their laws:
In 19 states lawmakers resisted extremist pressure to allow physician-assisted suicide (and five more states will have done so by end of the legislative session), and New Mexico's Supreme Court affirmed killing a terminally ill patient isn't a "fundamental right" even with consent.
334 life-affirming regulations have taken effect in the last five years, reducing annual unborn deaths by 500,000 and leading to widespread facility closures.
23 states have filed suit against federal threats to withhold funding from schools that distinguish bathroom use by birth gender.
Students—the leaders of the future—are enthusiastically celebrating endangered lives:
Students for Life campus groups now outnumber their Planned Parenthood counterparts by 1,043 to 275 (almost four to one!).
53% of young adults oppose abortion on demand, an increase of nine points in only four years, and less than half support public funding for Planned Parenthood.
Less than half of high school students surveyed report being sexually active, which is 13% fewer than 25 years ago, and the number of abstinent young adult men has doubled (women tripled!) since the 1960s.
Almighty God is moving His hand! Lord Jesus Christ is accomplishing His mission in us! Not only has He made this message of ours important, but He is making our work effective as well! Seize this opportunity with us and sustain the intensity with a special financial gift to Lutherans For Life. You are investing directly in heaven's own treasury of changed hearts and saved lives. Together let us show our joy and gratitude at being forgiven, relieved, and delivered by lovingly sharing our Father's forgiveness, relief, and deliverance with our neighbors.
The Need Is Great, Now's the Time
Indeed, we dare not let up. We'd better not delay or hesitate. Our labors must remain unrelenting. Evil and the devil are not stalling. Deception and death will not decelerate:
The United Nations is exploiting the Zika virus to urge abortion in countries where it's currently illegal.
Studies report persons in same-sex marriages commit suicide three times more often than others.
National Institutes of Health may fund injecting animal embryos with human stem cells.
Use of abortion-causing LARC devices (long-acting reversible contraceptives) is rising.
U.S. Supreme Court ruled women's health concerns place "undue burden" on abortion access.
Those raised by same-sex parents suffer twice as much depression and abuse as those from traditional families.
State governments have begun forcing doctors and pregnancy centers to promote abortion services.
Teens attending schools that distribute condoms get pregnant (and contract STDs) more frequently than teens attending schools that promote abstinence.
Suffering people are buying the lie that sometimes death offers the only solutions. Someone you know, somebody you love, needs us. They need the same Jesus we can't live without. God's love and Christ's forgiveness CAN and WILL rescue them. Lutherans For Life reaches and touches so many of them with the life-giving Gospel. It will take us $981,000 to meet such needs nationwide this year. We have $459,000 so far. (That's less than half!) Please send a gift today so that you can keep being our heart, and we'll keep being your voice. Together we bring the body of Christ—the feet and fingers of Father, Son, and Spirit Himself—to these desperate ones.
Lutherans at the Epicenter
Gifts like yours have enabled us to apply God's Word right to the pressure points. Our resources and services intersect your community—and hundreds of others—where death pounds fiercest. Rather than ignoring altogether or observing from a distance, Lutherans For Life takes God's fight and Christ's victory to all the ground zeroes:
Y4Life, under the direction of Laura Davis, united, equipped, and energized thousands of Lutheran students with activities and exhibits at Higher Things and the LCMS National Youth Gathering this summer.
A renewed Life Teams program is soon approaching completion and publication to invigorate and outfit congregation-based squads (we already have over 100!) for serving and saluting life locally and individually.
Owen's Mission is capturing the imaginations of children from California to Connecticut by giving their Lutheran school Touch of Life fetal models so they can feel how God loves life—including theirs.
LFL's National Conference (October 21-22, 2016, Bloomington, Minnesota) features a wealth of expert sessions about life advocacy and activism in the distinctively Lutheran spirit—a gathering of life-minded brothers and sisters in Christ.
Brand new and relevant Life Sunday materials prepare your pastor and congregation for a special occasion of proclaiming the good news of God's highest blessing—lives!
Join us! Jump in! Visit the website and find and follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and Vimeo to see the pictures and get all the scoops.

We've been receiving frequent reports of how our Gospel conversations are rescuing and protecting lives. I humbly but boldly ask you to help us gather the remaining $522,000 necessary to continue this vital ministry. Our God magnifies it and multiplies it into His miracles, so feel confident giving generously!
Seven Quick Specifics about Christian Citizenship
The Supreme Court's recent decisions leave Christians reeling. Presidential policies appear to target our freedom to act according to conscience. Important elections are approaching. Culture's "progress" pressures our relationships and our core beliefs. Should we fight back and take over society or step back and let society overtake itself? We don't have to attempt either! The Gospel of Jesus Christ invites and enables us to neither attack nor abandon, but engage. Here are seven quick specifics of exercising Christian citizenship:
- Jesus rules both Church and world.
Jesus is Lord—period! His dying and rising have exalted Him above all places and ascended Him over all people. This God of ours has purchased the whole universe for His own. Incarnate King of hearts is also King of kings. Atoning Lord of lives is also Lord of lords. Risen and forgiving Judge of living and dead has history and eternity under His feet. The good and gracious will of God is done around the world as it is across the heavens, apart from either our cooperation or request. Civil authorities serve as His ambassadors, and God establishes every government as His instrument. In spite of appearances, He orders all happenings for preserving and benefitting life.
- We enjoy responsibilities and privileges in both Church and world.
Baptism unites us to Christ Jesus and seats us with Him on high. Heavenly Father bequeaths us His whole kingdom, above and below. As Adam's descendants and heirs of Eve, we rightfully subdue and rule over this earth that produces our daily bread. Heaven holds us its citizens, but we live yet as residents in this realm, caretakers and brothers' keepers. We whom God calls His sons and daughters know best both how to manage nature and govern nations because we have seen God's will and received His Word. We have access to His own mind and heart. For our neighbor's good, we cannot neglect any speaking and acting that will direct and defend our common life.
- Human governments keep order to make possible Gospel ministry.
Father, Son, and Spirit's ultimate goal remains saving every human soul. His left-hand rule of earthly life facilitates His right-hand rule of everlasting life in new heavens and earth. Using governments and laws—even citizens and politics—He creates a safe environment and establishes the suitable context for His Gospel and His people to have free course. The Lord's Law of love, written and reflected in the Ten Commandments, furnishes the framework for the more important Savior-message.
- Expect tensions and persecutions.
The nations of creation lie broken because humankind has fallen into sin. Satan proliferates temptations, and selfishness runs rampant. Men and women wrestle to become masters over the entire earth, making enemies of each other and viewing God as rival. Pride and greed, lust, indulgence and laziness, jealousy and revenge often prevail even in the lives of baptized believers. In this world we will have trouble; indeed, the world hates us as it did Jesus. Representatives of humility and peace meet violence, crucifixion even. Our struggle rages against sinful nature and Satan but also against a world of foreign mind and hostile spirit.
- When commands conflict, we obey God rather than men.
Divine authority is exercised by sinners. Sometimes governments demand ultimate and unrightful allegiance from Christians in contradiction to our Gospel confession. Sometimes leaders and laws threaten to take the goods and fame, safety and freedom, family or life God has given us. Such rulers no longer function as deputies of Almighty Maker but agents of hell. In those matters we may and must resist and rebuke, using whatever influence our goods, fame, safety, freedom, family, and life can obtain. We trust that anything God allows us to lose He will more than restore, and we stay secure in the truth of Christ.
- Faith can't be legislated.
The Bible speaks no "separation" of church and state—and neither does the U. S. Constitution. Nevertheless, we recognize that God ordains a distinction of manner between them. The one He rules according to His Gospel and the other according to His Law. This Law, by force and coercion, commands, sets conditions, threatens consequences, and rewards obedience. It does nothing for souls or salvation. In Gospel, God does for us and gives freely unto everlasting resurrection. Law has to be permitted to precede, without interference from Gospel, in order that Gospel may supersede all. If God does not bully faith out of us, then government has no place either opposing or obligating Christianity.
- Love, joy, and gratitude compel us rather than anger, fear, or guilt.
Our failures won't undermine the Lord's reign. Others' successes can't overthrow it. This world will go on as long as God wills and will then give way to new creation. In Jesus we are guaranteed inclusion in it, as well as having the privilege of participating in His activity—not to assert superiority but to save our opponents from the devil's deceptions and our neighbors from final destruction. Let's exercise our majesty enthusiastically!
Life Quotes for the 4th of July
Life Quotes for the 4th of July
"God is the source and giver of all life. He has placed a special value on human life; therefore, we respect the sanctity with which God has dignified every human being (Genesis 1:26, Psalm 8:4-6, Genesis 2:7). This special and unique place of man in God's creation is further emphasized by the fact that God has acted to redeem mankind by His own blood (John 3:16). This redemptive love of God is lifted up in [1 John 4:10]: '[H]e (God) loved us and sent [H]is Son to be the expiation for our sins.'" Rev. Dr. Duane R. Lindberg
"It is vital that we Christians realize that the many challenging situations we face in our world today are deeply spiritual problems … not … solved simply by having the right president in Washington or the right congressional representative. Surely, these are vitally important and we must all take our duties as Christian citizens much, much more seriously. But, in itself, the political process will not 'solve' the deep spiritual problems which lie at the heart of everything evil in our culture." Rev. Dr. A. L. Barry
"The opening refrain of the Declaration of Independence affirms the necessity of an absolute standard upon which the rule of law must be based: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain Unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed …'. Thomas Jefferson asserted that the 'chief purpose of government is to protect life. Abandon that, and you have abandoned all.'" Gov. Mike Huckabee with George Grant
"To choose life is also a call to Walk the Walk, to put feet to our prayers and actions with our words. Certainly we should keep praying that the Supreme Court decision would be reversed and a human life amendment would be passed which protects life in the womb. Our prayers should include our government leaders, those who are in the forefront in crafting legislation that will diminish and ultimately defeat the abortion holocaust. And our prayers should continue for ministries that are seeking to be there when the choices are whether to choose life or death by abortion." Dr. Francis Monseth
"The pro-life community does not advocate government regulation of reproduction. Women are free to reproduce or not reproduce as they will. But once having reproduced, they shouldn't be free to kill their baby. That baby is entitled to the same human rights and personhood to which society is generally entitled." Gregg Cunningham
"It is time for our nation to repent, to change its mind about the value of human life, when that value begins, and from whom that value comes. It is time for our nation to return to that self-evident truth that we are 'endowed by [our] Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.'" Rev. Dr. James I. Lamb
"We rejoice that our fundamental rights as human beings, including the precious right to life, come not from princes, not from legislatures, not from deals ('mutual non-aggression pacts') we cut with our fellow citizens; our rights come as gifts of God Himself—and they are, therefore, in no way revocable by any merely human authority." Robert P. George
"The duty of those who wield authority on earth, rather, is to respect and protect the God-given moral order in which fundamental human rights – above all the right to life—have pride of place." Robert P. George
"A Christian cannot debate the pros and cons of abortion any more than he can debate the pros and cons of rape or stealing or adultery. Abortion cannot be a 'right' for, in God's sight, it is a fundamental wrong." Rev. Dr. James I. Lamb
"If we have no 'sanctity of human life' principle, we become a self-destructive society." Rev. Dr. Randy Shields
"Legalizing abortion actually alters the form of government we have … It abolishes the notion of a government that secures rights that are beyond its reach (because they are given by the Creator), and establishes one in which those rights are given and taken by government decree. That affects everything." Father Frank Pavone, National Director, Priests for Life
"O most glorious God … Direct my thoughts, word and work, wash away my sins in the immaculate blood of the Lamb, and purge my heart by the Holy Spirit … Daily frame me more and more into the likeness of thy Son, Jesus Christ … Thou gavest thy Son to die for me, and has given me assurance of salvation …". George Washington
"Abortion is un-American … It baldly violates the first principles of the country, cracking the foundation on which all rights for Americans rest—the right to life. Unless the right to life is inviolable, none of the rights that presuppose it are inviolable either." George Neumayr, Executive Editor, American Spectator
"Our Lord faced opposition, but He continued to bring the Word of life and healing to many. Though the pro-life community may suffer reverses … we cannot give up the effort to fight for the unborn so that all humans are recognized as persons, beings valuable in and of themselves." Rev. Dr. Kevin E. Voss, Director of the Concordia Bioethics Institute
"We stand for the right to life, not simply because the state needs more people, but rather because each human being is a unique creation of God, endowed with personhood and the rights that attach to personhood from the moment of conception." Colonel John Eidsmoe, member of the Lutherans For Life Board of Directors
"As Christians, let us pause this July 4th and give thanks above all for that liberty which stretches into eternity, our liberty in Christ. Jesus frees us from sin's power and condemnation by forgiving us before the throne of God, pardoning us fully of all guilt. Through faith in Christ and His redeeming work on our behalf we are citizens of heaven." E-mail devotion, www.redeemerclc.org/devotional.html
"I do not believe human society … ever has attained, or ever can attain, a high state of intelligence, virtue, security, liberty, or happiness without the Holy Scriptures; even the whole hope of human progress is suspended on the ever-growing influence of the Bible." William Seward, Secretary of State for the administration of Abraham Lincoln
"Whenever the pillars of Christianity shall be overthrown, our present republican forms of government, and all the blessings which flow from them, must fall with them." Samuel F.B. Morse, inventor of the telegraph and the Morse Code
"One of the major signs of decadence in the Roman Empire was that its unwanted babies were exposed, that is, abandoned to die. Can we claim that Western society is any less decadent because it consigns its unwanted babies to the hospital incinerator instead of the local rubbish dump? Reverence for human life is an indispensable characteristic of a humane and civilized society." John Stott, English Christian leader and Anglican cleric
"And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with His wrath? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just: that His justice cannot sleep forever." Thomas Jefferson, Notes on the State of Virginia, Query 18, 1781
"The rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God." President John F. Kennedy, 1961
"The foundation of national morality must be laid in private families … In vain are schools, academies, and universities instituted, if loose principles and licentious habits are impressed upon children in their earliest years … The vices and examples of the parents cannot be concealed from the children. How is it possible that children can have any just sense of the sacred obligations of morality or religion if, from their earliest infancy, they learn their mothers live in habitual infidelity to their fathers, and their fathers in as constant infidelity to their mothers?" John Adams, 1778
"All law is enacted morality. Every criminal law says that a certain thing is right, and another wrong. Every law is thus a piece of legislated morality. Moreover, all morality represents a religion, as every system of law is an establishment of religion. Thus, there can be a separation of church and state, but there cannot be a separation of religion and the state because every system of law is a religion and a morality in action." R. J. Rushdoony, philosopher, historian, and theologian
"We cannot read the history of our rise and development as a nation, without reckoning with the place the Bible has occupied in shaping the advances of the Republic … Where we have been the truest and most consistent in obeying its precepts, we have attained the greatest measure of contentment and prosperity." Franklin Delano Roosevelt, October 6, 1935
"The Declaration of Independence … claims … the ultimate source of authority by stating … they were … 'appealing to the Supreme Judge of the World for the rectitude of' their 'intentions'... The foundations of our independence and our Government rests upon basic religious convictions. Back of the authority of our laws is the authority of the Supreme Judge of the World, to whom we still appeal. It seems to me perfectly plain that the authority of law, the right to equality, liberty and property, under American institutions, have for their foundation reverence for God. If we could imagine that to be swept away, these institutions of our American government could not long survive." President Calvin Coolidge, September 21, 1924
Onward Christian Soldiers!

I had the blessing and privilege of spending several days in April with some of the most passionate For Life Lutherans one could ever meet. The State Federation Presidents and several Lutherans For Life (LFL) staff members, including our two regional directors, met as they usually do every spring to share what is happening on the Frontlines of their states and regions, to learn and discuss new ideas, and to be refreshed and encouraged by God's Word—and by each other.
These people are dedicated soldiers in the front-line battle of speaking "up for those who cannot speak for themselves" (Proverbs 31:8a NIV). They do this through:
Sharing creative ideas for honoring mothers and fathers on their respective special days
Funding or participating in the work of crisis pregnancy centers and ultrasound ministries
Presenting or hosting events addressing life issues, including a focus on our identities as God's sons and daughters being found in Christ versus the worldly teaching that we are identified through our sexuality—and rising human trafficking concerns
Participating in coalitions to combat the evil forces of physician-assisted suicide legislation and the twisted rhetoric of the Compassion and Choices (the successor to The Hemlock Society, the main group advocating legalization of doctor-assisted suicide)
Along with encouraging For Life Lutherans to team up in their churches and communities to form Life Teams or new Life Chapters, these leaders serve as encouragers to the more matured—and perhaps tired—Life Chapters as well as being a source of support to developed Life Teams in their areas.
These forward-looking leaders, concerned about the future of LFL, developed and sponsor essay contests, with the process starting in their respective states. The state winners compete against each other in two age divisions for national winners and an expense paid trip to the Lutherans For Life National Conference to present their essays. Last year's winners were excited to meet with Ken Ham of Answers in Genesis and tour the Creation Museum.
With what seems like new threats every day by the evil one and the dominion of death, life-affirming work is vast and daunting for anyone and everyone in the trenches.
Under the leadership of Nehemiah, the people of Jerusalem felt the same way as they struggled to rebuild the walls, with the daunting enemy threats and the vast rubble before them. Nehemiah encouraged them, "Don't be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your families, your sons and your daughters, your wives and your homes" (Nehemiah 4:14b NIV).
Prayer and God's Word encourage and strengthen these LFL leaders—these soldiers of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Although varying in age from the late 20's to 70, they fearlessly and tirelessly continue their work, knowing that they were not called to be successful, only to be faithful in the work that God has called each one of them to do.
As God called Nehemiah to rebuild Jerusalem's walls, God has called each one of us to be soldiers in His army to repair our portion of the "wall," by affirming life and speaking the truth of the Gospel with love to everyone who will listen, with the weapon of God's Word in one hand and building material, like LFL resources, in the other.
Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the life-saving work of Your Son who taught us to be life-affirming soldiers of the Gospel. Thank You for the front-line leaders, LFL members, staff, and board of directors of LFL. Bless these Christian soldiers with strength and courage to remain faithful to the tasks You have given them. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Onward Christian soldiers marching as to war
With the cross of Jesus going on before
Christ the royal Master leads against the foe
Forward into battle see His banner go
Onward Christian soldiers
Marching as to war
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before
Text: Sabine Baring-Gould, 1834-1924, alt. Public Domain
Speaking the Truth in Love—or mustering only mumbles?
Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Alleluia!
We shout this truth and hope together. At least we shout it together in worship. At least our hearts shout it even if our mouths don't so much. At least our faith shouts it when our hearts don't feel it and our minds forget it. Outside of our churches, on the other hand, we often muster only mumbles. Any quick visit to social networking websites or even a casual viewing of evening news confirms our culture has either lost or gotten lazy about the ability to speak truth in love. University protests, internet comments, controversial laws, presidential campaigns, and common conversations clearly display we don't know how to disagree without disrespect anymore.
We've learned well the world's lesson: "Given the choice between speaking the truth and being kind, choose kind." Relationships matter more than righteousness, don't they? Remember the words of the Prophet Thumper in the book of Disney, chapter Bambi: "If you can't say somethin' nice, don't say nothin' at all." But Christian Scripture suspects a false dichotomy. Do love and truth in fact operate in tension? Should one really trump the other? Can't we speak truth and show love at the same time? A certain apostle advises, "Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ" (Ephesians 4:15). And another apostle exhorts, "[L]et us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth" (1 John 3:18).
So love and truth, even uncomfortable truth, do not exist in opposition but in concert. The one does not diminish but magnifies and completes the other. Love "rejoices with the truth" (1 Corinthians 13:6). Godly love certainly "explain[s] everything in the kindest way" (Luther's Small Catechism, Eighth Commandment) but never uses "gentleness and respect" (1 Peter 3:15) as an excuse to allow or offer false testimony. Love does (and says) what is best, not just whatever is easiest, until the beloved gets better instead of merely feeling better.
Of course, as Christians, we cannot help but speak (Acts 4:20). The Lord's people speak the truth, and speak the truth in love, and speak the truth in love about life. Christ's disciples speak the truth in love about life amid this culture of death. "We also believe and therefore speak" (2 Corinthians 4:13 KJV). With the prophet Jeremiah we acknowledge, "If I say, 'I will not mention him, or speak any more in his name,' there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am weary with holding it in, and I cannot" (Jeremiah 20:9). And with St. Paul we affirm, "Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!" (1 Corinthians 9:16).
Yet even in this most important endeavor we do not despair. We take comfort from the Son of God's own solemn promise: "I will give you words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict" (Luke 21:15 NIV), for "it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you" (Matthew 10:19 NIV). So when we speak, we do it as servants: "For we do not preach ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake" (2 Corinthians 4:5 NIV). We enter conversation standing beside and not staring down. We claim no authority of our own over anybody, and we certainly boast no superiority to them, for "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus" (Romans 3:23).
We recognize right away our own sinful motives that might adulterate our interactions. We repent of desiring to be someone's lord or trying to be the savior. Yet we also reject the temptation to stay ignorant and indifferent toward our neighbors' situations so as to spare ourselves emotional turmoil. Our truth-telling and loving must meet their needs and not our own cravings for comfort, control, accomplishment, or equilibrium. We realize that, whether she knows it or not, or he likes it or not, even an ideological opponent—and especially a Christian brother or sister—comes to us as beloved children of God for whom Christ died, rose, reigns, and returns. We speak the truth in love not to save face or to save ourselves trouble or even ultimately to save a relationship but to save a life from sin's death and a soul from Satan's hell.
For this reason, only the whole truth will do. We advertise and emphasize God as not only against sin and against death but also for life and for you, so absolutely for you that He takes you as you are and does not leave you there. Forsaking simple satisfactions and quick escapes for faith in the Savior's ways finds gracious forgiveness, unconditional acceptance, and abundant everlasting life with Father-Son-and-Spirit's household. When oncoming traffic approaches unsuspecting toddlers, we holler Law, even if it startles and irritates them, but only so that we may also whisk them into Gospel relief and refuge.
We not only proclaim the kingdom, we perform it. Our God always incarnates His Gospel like this. He always brings it in three dimensions. Our faith and salvation rests and rises in the Word become flesh. He who speaks to us also speaks with and through us. Love proves truth persuasive. Hearts trust truth most from those who provide groceries, clothes, comfort, home, and hope to meet needs, even when these needs appear only tangential to spiritual matters. Speaking the truth in love never just executes a task but establishes a relationship, one of patience and persistence—now tilling, now fertilizing, now planting, now pruning, now watering, now weeding, now shading, now waiting. Love without truth leaves only empty sentimentality, and truth without love just makes noise. Love never replaces truth but always reinforces it, embracing body and being as well as mind.
How we speak the truth in love affects as much as what truth we speak in love. We speak confidently but compassionately, cheerfully and sincerely, invitingly, not imposingly. We converse amicably and articulately. We interact winsomely, willing also to admit limits and investigate together. This offers us opportunity to stay educated and aware. We listen to the Word to know what to say, and we listen to the world to know what to say it about. Jesus never abandons us to speak the truth in love alone. He surrounds us with the communion of saints as our models and solidarity.
Please keep praying for people in need to hear and receive the Gospel message. And we invite and encourage you to continue preparing yourselves alongside us for every opportunity, great or little, that our Lord gives us to speak the truth in love.

Munich Residence 🌌
Munich Residence 🌌
Residence Museum, Munich
Inside the Palace - The Nymphenburg Palace (Munich, German)
The baroque palace in the west part of Munich was the summer residence of the Bavarian monarchs. In 1664, Prince Ferdinand Maria had the castle built as a present to his wife, who had borne him the long-awaited heir, Max Emanuel. The Nymphenburg Palace is one of the largest royal palaces in Europe. Some spaces have their original Baroque decor intact, while others were later remodeled in Rococo and Classical styles.

Munich Residence
Pearl crown, Germany, Munich, In The Munich Residence, Treasury Circa Estimation is 1399, The original suspected owner was Anne of Bohemia.
Ludwig II (Ludwig Otto Friedrich Wilhelm), (25 August 1845 – 13 June 1886) was King of Bavaria from 1864 until his death. He is sometimes called the Swan King (English) and der Märchenkönig, the Fairy tale King (German). He also held the titles of Count Palatine of the Rhine, Duke of Bavaria, Duke of Franconia, and Duke in Swabia. Ludwig spent all the royal revenues on these projects (though not state funds), borrowed extensively, and defied all attempts by his ministers to restrain him. This was used against him to declare him insane, an accusation which has been refuted in the meantime. His mysterious demise took place the very next day. Ludwig is generally well-regarded and even revered by many Bavarians today. His legacy of architecture and art includes many of Bavaria's important tourist attractions.
Ludwig's death was officially ruled a suicide by drowning, but the official autopsy report indicated that no water was found in his lungs. Ludwig was a very strong swimmer in his youth, the water was approximately waist-deep where his body was found, and he had not expressed suicidal feelings during the crisis. Gudden's body showed blows to the head and neck and signs of strangulation, leading to the suspicion that he was strangled by Ludwig although there is no evidence to prove this. Many hold that Ludwig was murdered by his enemies while attempting to escape from Berg.
Ludwig's remains were dressed in the regalia of the Order of Saint Hubert, and lay in state in the royal chapel at the Munich Residence Palace. In his right hand he held a posy of white jasmine picked for him by his cousin the Empress Elisabeth of Austria. After an elaborate funeral on 19 June 1886, Ludwig's remains were interred in the crypt of the Michaelskirche in Munich. His heart, however, does not lie with the rest of his body. Bavarian tradition called for the heart of the king to be placed in a silver urn and sent to the Gnadenkapelle (Chapel of Mercy) in Altötting, where it was placed beside those of his father and grandfather.
Die Münchener Residenz, former royal palace of the Bavarian kings and Germany's largest city palace. The Munich Residence is the former palace of the Bavarian monarchs of the House of Wittelsbach in Munich's city center. It's open to visitors for its architecture, room decorations, and displays from the royal collections. The complex contains 10 courtyards and displays 130 rooms. A wing of the Festsaalbau contains the Cuvilliés Theatre since reconstruction after WW2; it also houses the Herkulessaal, the primary concert venue for the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra. The Byzantine Allerheiligen-Hofkirche church is facing the Marstall, the building for the former Court Riding School and the royal stables. Read more.
Meine Lieben, falls ihr euch im Moment in München aufhaltet und nicht wisst wohin, bitte klingelt irgendwo. Die Münchener lassen euch rein. Es ist jetzt wichtig, von den Straßen runterzukommen, so schnell wie möglich. Bleibt bitte drinnen, informiert euch, was los ist und bleibt in Sicherheit.
There's a shooting happening in Munich right now. You need to know that if you happen to be in Munich right now, residents will let you in! Get off the streets as soon as possible. Please stay safe, don't go outside, listen to the news if you're in Munich. My heart is with you.

Amalienburg Pavilion, designed by Francois Cuvillies, c. 1739
Munich, Germany
One of the gems of the European rococo style, the Amalienburg Pavilion was built by the ruler of Bavaria, Elector Karl Albrecht, as a hunting lodge for his wife, Maria Amalia. Designed by Francois Cuvillies, the small, richly decorated building is set in the grounds of the vast Nymphenburg Palace, the Elector's summer residence in Munich, and is surrounded by extensive wooded parkland.

Instead of continually reblogging with updates, I'm just going to let everyone know the current situation.
There has been a shooting at the Munich Olympia shopping mall (Olympia-Einkaufszentrum). It's been reported that there are several injuries and fatalities. 3 deaths have been confirmed as of right now, that's expected to rise.
The number of injuries is unknown.
Police expect that there are multiple shooters (3 being the likely number) and none have been caught yet, they are all on the run.
Certain trains, trams and buses have been stopped and the public has been told to stay inside and avoid public places.
There are conflicting reports of whether a second shooting happened or not. Just now the police have received unconfirmed reports of more violence and possible gunshots in the City Center.
Munich residents are opening their doors to anyone who is stranded, using the hashtag #OffenTür (open door) on social media.

My daughter and I stayed here the night before our cruise. The hotel was so nice and it smelled so good and was very clean. The staff was very nice. Checking in was a breeze as well as checking out.
Our room was very nice and roomy. The beds were very comfortable. The bathroom was nice and the shower was great. There is plenty of hot water. The soaps, shampoo and conditioner they provide smells soooo good.
Breakfast is a real treat. Everything is so good and you have a wide variety of breakfast foods/drinks to choose from.
We will be going on another cruise and you can bet I will stay here again. I have stayed at the La Quinta next door. Both hotels are great however, Holiday Inn Express rates slightly higher.

Quan Dau Bac is a family-owned eatery that's famous for its authentic yet affordable Vietnamese offerings. Just a two-minute walk from Japanese Covered Bridge, it's a cramped and open-air restaurant with a number of low tables and chairs facing the bustling Phan Chu Trinh Street.
Its food menu is priced between VND 15,000 and VND 70,000, featuring Vietnamese entrees such as fried spring rolls, chicken soup, potato croquette, crispy mushrooms with eggs, and fried sausages. Great for a quick bite before exploring Hoi An Ancient Town, Quan Dau Bac's signature dish is the bun dau mam tom, a Hoi An dish that's served with fermented shrimp dipping sauce.

Also known as a Vietnamese Tasting Plate, its meatless variation (VND 20,000) consists of deep-fried tofu, rice noodles, cucumber, and fresh herbs. You can also enjoy it with steamed pork, beef, fish balls and mushrooms for an additional VND 15,000. Drinks-wise, Quan Dau Bac serves an array of soft drinks and local beers for only VND 15,000 though its freshly-made lemon juice and Vietnamese coffee are particularly popular amongst local diners.
As all food and drinks are made to order at Quan Dau Bac, service may be slightly slower than Hoi An's more established restaurants. However, its English-speaking owners are very friendly and more than happy to share tips on where to go and what to do in Hoi An. Due to its affordable price range and close proximity to Hoi An Ancient Town, Quan Dau Bac is gaining popularity amongst budget-conscious tourists.

The Glass Pyramids Of The Bermuda Triangle A New Twist!
The Pyramids are at a depth of two thousand meters were identified with the help of a sonar device according to oceanographer Dr.Meyer Verlag. Studies of other devices have allowed scientists to determine that the two giant pyramids, aparently made of something like a thick glass or crystal?, are really massive structures, each of them is larger than the Great Pyramid of Cheops in Egypt.
Dr.Meyer believes that an investagation of the secrets of the glass pyramids that are in the center of the triangle, may shed some light on the cases related to the strange and mysterious disappearances that are associated with the Bermuda Triangle.
In a press conference in the Bahamas, Dr.Meyer gave a report with the exact coordinates of the pyramids. In particular, the oceanographer said that the technology is a mystery to modern science, and and looks like it was designed to be under water. Perhaps a more detailed study over time will give more detailed results.There are more an more reports on the pyramids. "American oceanographers in 1990", discovered the underwater pyramids, which are located exactly at the center of the Bermuda Triangle. Scientists have processed all of the data and concluded that the surface is perfectly smooth, and looks like glass or crystal?.The size of the pyramids are nearly three times the pyramid of Cheops.
The news was sensational, and was discussed at a conference in Florida. The journalists present have a lot of pictures and high resolution computerized data, which show three-dimensional pyramids perfectly smooth, without being covered with a surface free of coral, algae or cracks. Recently "American and French" scientists as well as other countries that are conducting surveys in areas of the seabed of the Bermuda Triangle, they also claim to have found even more pyramids standing upright on the seabed.The length of the base of this pyramid reached 300 meters, 200 meters height, and distance from base to the tip of the pyramid is about 100 meters above the sea floor. Preliminary results show this structure to be made of glass or a glass-like (crystal?) material, as it is entirely smooth and partially translucent.
When talking about size, this newly re-discovered pyramid is larger in scale than the pyramids of ancient Egypt. On top of the pyramid there are two very large holes, sea water at high speed move through the second hole, and therefore the raging waves roll by forming a giant vortex that makes the waters around this cause a massive surge waves and mist on the sea surface. This new discovery makes scientists wonder if this is having an affect on passing boats and planes and could be the reason for all the mystery surrounding the area of the "Bermuda Triangle". There are several Western scholars who argue that the pyramid on the seabed may have been initially made on the land, after a devastating earthquake struck and changed the landscape completely covering them with ocean water. Other scientists argue that a few hundred years ago the waters of the Bermuda Triangle area may have as one of the cornerstone activities of the people of Atlantis, and Pyramids on the sea floor may be a supply warehouse or a power source for them.A very interesting for the The Bermuda Triangle
