While I was at work today, I found my way onto www.cnn.com and came across an article based on an interview with Bristol Palin, the Republican VP nominee's daughter. (In case you don't remember, she is the one who got pregnant out of wedlock and had a baby.) This was Bristol's first interview after having her baby. The interviewer basically asked her about birth control and she said that abstinence was the best option but that she didn't think it was "realistic."
Miss Bristol, I beg to disagree.
Remaining abstinent was one of the hardest things I have done in my life. I faced temptations and made mistakes, but I can tell you that it is possible. (And I am not the only one who has made that decision.)
We live in a world where people do what they want whenever they want it. But, as followers of Christ, we are called to be different from those in the world. We are set apart, not just in what we believe, but also in our choices, decisions, and actions.
And that is exactly why we must do things that the world says are "not realistic."
We must love all.
We must care for the least of these.
We must die to ourselves.
We must live for others.
We must remain abstinent.
