March For Life

Hi Friends,

I want to say a few words about the March for Life. OK maybe a more than a few. The March for Life was more than just going on Monday and Marching on our Nations Captial. It was a time for me to find where I stand on the front lines or in the background. It started Saturday Morning, We left for DC at about 6:30 and had a great trip! I could not sleep at all, mostly because when I get a little sleep I stay awake. It was a great trip, along with a trip to the Holocaust Museum. Which I couldn't really appreciate , because of time. But I did get to see all of the Major memorials in our Country. On Sunday we had mass at a hotel, which included music by tony Melendez, which is not not as good as Bob Rice. It is a close second.  Then the sessions started.  I learned So much from all of the speakers. going in I knew I was pro-life...but the question was am I going to act  on being pro-life. Now I know after listening about the battle that is being fought. That I need to be on the front line and storm the beach with all the other pro-lifers. I went to many breakout sessions that talk about things like starting a pro-life group to Overpopulation and how it is a myth. 

**************************************************************************************************************

Now to really talk about the March, I heard a number like 18,000 so lets go with that. 18,000 people marched to tell our government that we don't want abortion to be legal and that it should be illegal. We went from the American History Museum to the Supreme Court.  I saw amazing things. Like People chanting, people praying, people with Signs that read things like "I AM PART OF THE PRO-LIFE GENERATION!"  One of the most amazing things I saw was  a group of about 200 singing "Hail Holy Queen" with a statue of the Virgin Mary. I met Congressmen Renssci, Rob Portman. And the Couple who started the March for Life!  I saw amazing things that words can't exactly explain. Beyond just what I did. Seeing a pregnant mother, or a family with a young child touched my heart in ways that can't be explained. 

My status from when we got back: 

"we came, we marched, we now have a long road of prayer for then end of killing inocent babies...people in general. That is the challenge to every one to do that went. sure it is great to march and be know be covered on news networks...be seen by people and chant chants. But what are you doing when the doors are shut are you prayers to stop it. If not NOW is the time God Bless my brothers and Sisters."

 Another Pro-Life quote I love comes from Bob Rice (go figure)   "

"It starts with us. It starts with me. I don’t think everyone who is pro-choice is evil. They are as much my brother and sister as the unborn child I’m trying to speak for, or the elderly person who is “useless” to society, or the prisoner on death row.

I want to view everyone, whether they are pro-life or pro-choice, Catholic or Protestant, Christian or atheist, young or old, black or white, or guilty or innocent, as my brother and sister. And maybe my example can help them do the same."

Now it is the time for action sure it is great to march, but a march won't abolish abortion. PRAY will though. The Bible Says "With God all things are POSSIBLE" (Mathew 19:26)

Tonight I sit hear with a few thoughts, like thank God that the march was last weekend, because now there is a bunch of snow in DC. That I am totally blessed that my parents chose life. and that Obama, Obama...you had a Pro-Life Momma!

Peace to you all 

Bobby
