A Day of Silence

   Last Tuesday, on the Pro-Life Day of Silent Solidarity, people all over the world gave up their voices for one day for those babies who have never had a voice.  I was one of those people.  We, just a few students from our little high school in Northeast Missouri, took a stand.  We made a difference.  This is us:

P.S. There were more participants than this, but I couldn't get a picture with everyone. Many thanks to all you amazing people!

ThinkFAST

            A quarter of our generation never got the chance to live.  We are missing siblings we never knew about, friends we haven’t met, musicians and geniuses and athletes who never got to shine, and world-changers who have left this Earth unaltered.  We may never know the millions lost to abortion would have been or what they would have done.  We only know that the God who created them holds them in the palm of His loving hand, where they will never know tears, loneliness, or pain.  And we know that we have to stop the modern holocaust in our nation.  We have to save more lives from being lost to abortion. We need to think fast. 

            How can a few teenagers change a culture?  With willing, open hearts hurting for the unborn, we must turn to the One who has infinitely more power and love than we can even imagine.  I believe God is calling us to join a movement called ThinkFAST (started by bound4LIFE).  Every Friday we will give up our school lunches and instead dedicate our 20 minutes to praying together for our classmates, our leaders, and an end to the atrocity of abortion.  We will commit to pray, vote, and obey.  We will sacrifice our afternoon meal to save babies.  We will gather together in faith, knowing that where two or more gather together in His name, He will be there with us.  With prayer and fasting, we will change our school, change the course of our nation, and change the world.

            Join me, and bring an end to abortion.  After all, how much are a few chicken patties and jammer sticks worth compared to the value of human life?

How to ThinkFAST from Bound4LIFE

1. Skip lunch on Friday.
2. Use that small time frame to get together with your Shadrach-Meshach buddies, and pray. It doesn't take a large group. Jesus promised to be wherever two or three are gathered in His name (Mt 18:20), so gather in the hallway, foyer or lawn. It's easy, and the time will go quickly.
3. Focus your prayers on the ending of abortion in the nation, sexual purity for your school, friends you know that have had abortions or are at high risk. Pray in faith and believe that God can intervene in each situation with redeeming love.
4. Do it every Friday consistently. Your fasting will intensify your prayer life and draw you closer to God's heart on the issue. Besides, you can survive one afternoon without Salisbury steak and cream corn.

Unite For Life

   180 Movie might change your life.  I have seen it three times, and it is still riveting, bringing tears to my eyes every time.  Ray Comfort hits the streets, testing people's knowledge and convictions.  He sheds light on the issue of abortion, comparing it to Hitler's Holocaust.  180 is 33 minutes that will rock your world - if you let it.  If you are ready and willing, watch the video at 180movie.com. (or right here in this blog post!^^)

   40 Days for Life is campaign to end abortion.  At abortion clinics across the nation and all over the world, defenders of life gather outside and pray.  This year's first 40 days is going on now, through April 1, and already 345 babies have been saved. You can get involved now!  Even if you are unable to find a 40 Days for Life event in your area, you can still join me and thousands of others in praying for hearts and minds to be changed.

   I cannot wait to see October Baby.  In the movie, Hannah's life is turned upside down when she learns that her birth mother tried to abort her, and her parents are not her real parents.  She sets out on a journey to find her real mom.  Hannah's tears and laughter will become your own as you experience this life-changing movie, which hits theaters this Friday.

   "Abort73.com exists because abortion exists.  And because a deep and accurate understanding of abortion does not exist."  As I type this, a Abort73.com bracelet is around my wrist and one of their t-shirts is my closet, ready to be worn.  This website simply tells the facts about abortion.  It is well worth the read, and the share.  A group of friends and I are working on doing an Abort73 Campus Blitz at our school.  Check out the website, and show the world the truth about abortion.
