Stand for Life

It's been a crazy day, but I want to make a quick plug for a Life Conference in Raleigh, North Carolina.  If you live in North Carolina, this would be a great event to attend.  There are some inspiring guest speakers, and the home page for the event offers a challenge:

A GENERATION LOST
Are you concerned where this country is headed in regard to Life issues?
Learn more about the issues and how you can get involved in your community.
Learn how you can be on the front lines in this battle now raging in our country!

If you don't live in North Carolina or can't attend the event, do try to participate in the upcoming 40 Days for Life campaign.  It runs from September 28 - November 6.  Check out the 40 Days for Life website for more information and to find the nearest prayer vigil in your area.  If you're lucky enough not to have an abortion center nearby, then please pray the Rosary for life as often as you can during the campaign.  Of course, you can also start praying today!

Every morning, I pray for the baby in danger of abortion whom I have "spiritually adopted."  I name each baby and pray for 9 months that he or she will be spared from abortion.  I am now on my 7th baby.  It takes just a minute every morning, and you will probably never know the outcome of your prayers until you meet the babies in heaven, but I think it's worth the small effort.  Learn more at this site.

I am only on my second Spiritually Adopted Baby, a girl this time, Therese. Baby Sebastian, I trust, is safe with his mother and father.
So glad I checked your facebook page or I would not know that your new book is out! Congratulations. Am ordering it from Bezalel today.
Let's hope and pray 40 Days for Life is as successful in many ways as last time. Thanks for the mention.

I name my babies too! Genevieve, Benedict, Michael, Mary, Therese, Marie, and now Junipero. Lately, I've been naming the babies after the saint whose feast day I begin the prayers (hence, Junipero for St. Junipero Serra). I keep praying for them after they're born to be sure that they are properly taught the Catholic faith and receive all the graces they need to get to heaven where I hope to meet them one day...

Thank you for ordering the book! I hope you enjoy it. I plan to "announce" it tomorrow when my copies finally arrive. God bless!
