Taylor Odlozil had planned forever with his wife. But this widower's life is forever changed, and he shares the last thing his wife told their son before she passed away from cancer. He had spent years dreaming about a lifetime with his wife Haley–the woman he loved more than words could express. The two had met as teenagers, and were building a life together like so many young couples do. Their plans were filled with hopes for the future. But in the blink of an eye, those dreams turned into something far more devastating. Haley found herself battling ovarian cancer. Taylor found himself planning a funeral for the love of his life. RELATED: Scott Hamilton on How Faith Guided Him Through His Cancer Fight Taylor Odlozil and His Wife Haley Shared Their Journey Through Cancer Online Together, Haley and Taylor Odlozil shared their journey through cancer with their online community. Somehow, Haley knew she was losing this battle. In her final days, Taylor focused on getting their son, Weston, to understand that she was going home to see Jesus. Her son would miss her, but only for a little while in this lifetime. “I told him, ‘Jesus is coming and I want you to know that your mother fought really hard,'” he said. “I wanted him to understand… I want [him] to know that it’s nothing that [he] did wrong, you know, because kids will blame themselves.” He recalled the final moments with detail and said, “I got real serious and I said, ‘Look at me, son. You’re an incredible son and the reason that your mother is here right now is because of you and that she’s fought this long because of you, and there’s nothing that you did wrong. You have been a perfect child for us and it’s just going to be me and you soon. I’m going to need you and you’re going to need me.'” RELATED: Airplane Celebration Breaks out As Flight Attendant Announces Passenger Is Cancer-Free I Love You Too, Weston The pair clung together as they surrounded Haley with their presence and love and waited for her moment to pass from this side of heaven to the next. Taylor said, “She just kind of like came to out of nowhere and looked at Weston and Weston said, ‘I love you, Mommy.’ She said, ‘I love you too, Weston,’ and that was the last thing she ever said. She slipped into a coma state for the next few days.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Taylor Odlozil (@taylorodlozil) View this post on Instagram A post shared by Taylor Odlozil (@taylorodlozil) Can you imagine how powerful those three little words are and will continue to be in Weston's life? Those three little words can make ordinary moments of life extraordinary. They have the power to remind our loved ones we care. And when time seems to stand still, and life hangs in the balance, these words hold power beyond measure. For Weston and Taylor, those words became Haley's final echo of her love and a promise that her love would remain with them in their hearts and for the rest of their lives. In the end, ‘I love you' is more than just a phrase; it's a thread that connects us to those we love and binds us for a lifetime. Just like Jesus and the cross, these words in life and death are the most powerful words we can give.

Kamala's Voters Are Just Racist... and Sexist Also

Drew Stever, a female minister in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America who identifies as a man, recently generated controversy by suggesting that gender ideology's incompatibility with biblical teaching, particularly about sex, demonstrates a deficit in the Bible. Lisa Ling of "CBS Mornings" told Stever in a recent interview that "there is a lot of people who say that according to the Bible, God made man and woman, and that couldn't be any more clearly defined." The program cited the finding from a 2017 Pew Research poll that 63% of American Christians say that gender is determined by sex at birth; 35% of Christian respondents alternatively said that gender can be different from sex at birth. More recent Pew data that CBS News apparently chose to ignore indicates that the percentage of American Christians who affirm the unity of gender and biological sex has significantly increased in the years since. 'It's hard to relate it to modern-day times.' Whereas 68% of Protestants and 51% of Catholics polled in 2017 said that an individual's gender is the same as birth sex, those numbers jumped in 2022 to 75% and 62%, respectively. "How do you respond to them?" Ling asked Stever. "It's hard to relate it to modern-day times," said Stever, who serves as lead pastor at Hope Lutheran Church in Hollywood. "Because it wasn't written for 2024; it was written for then." Stever did not indicate why specifically moderns should have a different relationship with scripture than Christ, who treated as authoritative sacred writ that was already in his time roughly 1,400 years old. "When we read in the scripture that God created man and woman — yes, and God created everyone else as well," continued Stever. Stever is not the first LGBT activist to insinuate that the Bible's teaching on sex and gender is antiquated and malleable. 'Undermine the moral authority of homo-hating churches ... by portraying such institutions as antiquated backwaters.' The gargantuan LGBT lobby group Human Rights Campaign, for instance, claims on its website that "scripture doesn't suggest that respecting biblical authority means Christians should reject experience as a teacher." HRC notes further that "while gender complimentarity is indeed rooted in passages from Genesis 1 and 2, it is worth noting that these stories say God began by creating human beings of male and female sex (defined as the complex result of combinations between chromosomes, gonads, genes, and genitals) but there is nothing that indicates in Scripture that God only created this binary." Activists Marshall Kirk and Hunter Madsen noted in their 1990 strategy for the advancement of the LGBT agenda that it was necessary to "muddy the moral waters, that is, to undercut the rationalizations that 'justify' religious bigotry"; to "rais[e] serious theological objections to conservative biblical teachings"; and to "undermine the moral authority of homo-hating churches ... by portraying such institutions as antiquated backwaters, badly out of step with the times." The late "New Theist" Rev. Michael Dowd argued, "Those of us who wish to continue calling ourselves Christian must no longer enslave mind and heart to inert fossils of ancient texts and creeds." Dowd, regarded by some critics as a neo-pagan, also implored Christians to "unshackle our religious stories and texts, and welcome evolutionary growth within our religious traditions." CBS News situated Stever's response and ministry within the broader context of the push by some Christian denominations to embrace the LGBT activist agenda and transvestite clergy, noting further that the ELCA ordained its first cross-dressing priest in 2015. The Church of England, the Episcopal Church, the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), and the United Methodist Church are among the denominations that have ostensibly embraced gender ideology and transvestite clergy. Transgenderism doesn't similarly fly in the Catholic Church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the Southern Baptist Convention, and in other relatively more conservative Christian denominations. When asked about her message to people who feel "burned" by religion, Stever said, "I'm so sorry that the church missed you. I would say specifically to folks of color, to people living with disabilities, people who are LGBTQ: You are good. Nothing is wrong with you. You are so good. And you don't need the church to tell you that." Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!
