Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

Poinsettias -- Spoiled

When it comes to the abortion mills -- PP in particular, I've come to the conclusion that nothing is sacred. I can not ever assume that a product or individual in this country is free from their blood stain. Now it's our Christmas flowers.

I received an email this weekend about the largest supplier of poinsettias in the country -- they supply 70 percent of all poinsettias in this country and 50 percent worldwide. That is Paul Ecke Poinsettias. Likely you've never heard of them; there are several middlemen before the flowers reach our doors.

The Ecke family, besides being the largest supplier of poinsettias, is also one of the biggest supporters, in this country, of PP, according to the Hartline Report. Sadly, the fact is easily confirmed with a simple Google search (here and here).

So, when you order your Christmas flowers, ask your florist who their supplier is, and boycott if necessary (for a list of retailers who use Ecke, go here, and distributors, here).

And pass this information on to your church. It makes me physically sick to think that our churches are indirectly supporting PP with the purchase of beautiful Christmas flowers.

I'm certain Our Lady weeps at the abuse of her beautiful Son's birth to support the mass murder of our babies.

    GODFREY, IL — Ramsey Shinn, shipping manager at White’s Green Houses in Godfrey, puts covers on poinsettia pots Monday as the business prepares to ship out 60,000 plants to area retailers for the holidays.

    Propagation for the plants started in July, when that many cuttings were placed in pots to grow.


    I don’t think this greenhouse is underwritten by PP :)

  2. Unbelievable. Is nothing sacred?

    *Sigh*
