Last night after a bit of prayer I wanted to go back to sleep but I kept thinking about Martin. I first met Martin as a pro-life activist at the Dobbs Ferry NY abortion mill in 1990. He was tall,quiet, a Jewish convert to Christianity, had big brown eyes and was clearly very intelligent. Later we did a rescue at Dobbs and both Martin and I were arrested and jailed at Valhalla. We called it a “rescue” because of Proverbs 24:11 which reads: “Rescue those who are being taken away to death; hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter. If we say, ‘We did not know this, does not he who weighs the heart perceive it?’ We knew there were abortions scheduled to be performed in that facility and our intent was to sit down and block the mill entrance (the more people the better!) and prevent those deaths. When we refused to move out of the way, the police tended to arrest us.

At first I couldn’t even remember Martin’s first name, and I tried to put him out of my mind as I struggled to recollect his last name, thinking it would come to me later on its own. But my mind was troubled by this memory lapse and sleep was escaping me. I thought there was a ‘z’ in his name someplace! Finally, it occurred to me that Martin had long ago written a short pro-life booklet which I considered one of the best things I had ever read! By some miracle, I was able to remember the title of his booklet: Acquiescence to Slaughter. I promptly entered “acquiescence to slaughter” in Google and, presto! – there, readily available, was lots of information about my old friend, Martin Wishnatsky!

Martin’s book was listed on Amazon as currently unavailable but, much to my delight, there were YouTube videos that had been uploaded in 2009 to bring me up to date as to what Martin has been up to. He had continued his pro-life activity in Fargo ND and in 2009 was planning to add to his Harvard Ph.D. a law degree by attending Liberty Univerity. What a delight to once again see this old friend in the following interviews (in four parts) with one John Strand in Fargo.

Martin has long had a website titled Good Morals (http://www.goodmorals.org/) which aims to promote sexual purity.

A Liberty U site in 2010 posted the following:
Martin Wishnatsky, 66, chose Liberty because of its ties to the conservative legal community.  Jewish by birth and Christian by faith, Wishnatsky holds a PhD in political science from Harvard University. Today, he considers his alma mater a “spiritually deadening” school.

After a decade-long career on Wall Street, Wishnatsky decided to dedicate his life to the pro-life movement, and moved to North Dakota to work for a Christian ministry called the Perry Center.

In 2009, Wishnatsky enrolled at LU’s law school with the hopes that a law degree would give him further clout in the fight against abortion.  “It seemed to me to have the strongest Christian commitment,” Wishnatsky said, adding that so far the school has fulfilled his expectations.

Now to get in touch with Martin and say “Hi!  Good job, getting a law degree!  Where are you living and what are you up to now?  I am attaching a copy of Fr. Weslin’s obituary, in case you have not seen it.   So glad you are still a Christian and a pro-life activist!  Hope you approve of my blogging about you.   God bless.”

LATER:

Now that I have been able to get in touch with Martin, it turns out that he is studying to take his Bar Exam in July.  It also turns out that Martin’s life and writings and doings have been meticulously  documented at www.goodmorals.org/mw as well as goodmorals.org/poetry and litigation at goodmorals.org/hb1242.  Martin has surfaced big-time!   I especially want to read what he has written on evolution, as that has been one of my favorite subjects also.   He is a complex living, breathing, producing, intriguing Christian!

A couple of years ago  I blogged about a prophecy that was given to Ronald Reagan while he was still governor of California.    He was a Christian then and there is no doubt he was serious about his Christianity throughout his presidency.    We are indeed fortunate that Ronald Reagan’s church put together the following video to commemorate his birthday.

They write:   “Unfortunately the war against the evil of liberalism is still alive and well, and we fight it even at Bel Air Presbyterian. The liberal Presbyterians are doing all they can to pervert the church from the inside out. Fortunately the conservative Christians are strong at Bel Air. Ronald Reagan loved Bel Air Presbyterian as I do…Enjoy!”

Young man, I am looking at you.   As you tend to my deposit as a teller at my local bank, I am looking you over.  You are young, good-looking, well-groomed.   Very well groomed, in fact.  I note your perfect haircut, the well-pressed maroon shirt, the handsome but not-too-colorful tie.   A diamond ear-ring in each ear.  Your hands move quickly and confidently over the keyboard as you find my account and check my checks for amount, endorsement, and whatever.

You won’t let me catch your eye.   (I prayed years ago that everyone who would meet my gaze would get a touch of the Holy Spirit.)  Your eyes would shift to me every now then just long enough to see if I was still looking at you – – then turn away.   It was ten AM and as we finished our transaction you wished me a “Good afternoon.”    “Good morning,” I said and as you caught your error you smiled and wished me a “good morning” also.   For a moment we connected.

You have no idea that the old lady looking at you this morning is praying that you may be as beautiful inside as you are outside.   In the great scheme of things, does it matter?  I am hopeful that somehow, perhaps, it will help a little.

Dear young man, my prayer is that you will tell Jesus you will follow him if he will show you he is real.
