Soldier Mom: A West Point Cadet Answers a Different Call Singing to Save Lives Thine Eyes: A Witness to the March for Life Miscon(tra)ception: Part II Understanding Stem Cell Science |
At this time of year, we pray for everyone headed back to school. May we gather as the disciples did, excited to learn. Bless all who teach us and all who encourage us.
In that vein, we bring you a story of one student’s courage, when the choice came between God and country. Read about what faces our young people at our nation’s military academies.
Meet the Christian music world’s answer to Celine Dion. The lovely Jaime Thietten says stardom is secondary to spreading a message of forgiveness. Hear what inspired her to write the pro-life song, "My Chance."
Go on a behind-the scenes look at a new movie about the March for Life. Frustrated with the lack of media coverage, a director takes matters into his own hands to film "Thine Eyes."
Read a fascinating article that outlines the close connection between drugs prescribed for menopausal women—now acknowledged as "high risk" by the medical establishment—and hormonal contraceptives, which are typically portrayed as safe. Hmmm. Sounds like "Miscon(tra)ception."
Finally, we ask for your support. On the first Monday in October, the U.S. Supreme Court begins its new term. This is a day on which pro-lifers across the nation will mourn the 51 million victims of abortion. This staggering death toll is a result of Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton. Please join us in a prayer vigil at abortion facilities nationwide on October 4. Learn more at www.prolifememorialday.com
If I may borrow a quote from an autumn blessing by Beverly J. Anderson, this is my wish for you:
See the goodness of our Father in the Autumn season fair, In the colors that delight us When there’s beauty everywhere.
