“Serve the LORD in sincerity and in truth... Choose you this day whom you will serve.
But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”

Life is Precious

On Friday, January 22, marked the 37th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. The Georgia Right to Life hosted their annual silent march on the steps of the state capital. Aaron and I are very passionate about life, and have made this rally part of our yearly family plans. Aaron's dad and sister, Cara, went with us this year. They started the rally with worship on the capital steps and then we heard from the speakers. We then watched what the reality of abortion has looked like over the past 37 years. In 1986 we lost 7 people in the Challenger explosion, but in that same year we lost 1,328,112 babies to abortion. In 1995 we lost 168 people in the Oklahoma City bombing, and in that same year we lost 1,210,883 babies to abortion. In the September 11 attacks we lost 2,973 precious lives, and in that same year 1,291,000 babies lost their lives. It is so sad to me that since the passing of Roe v. Wade there have been 50+ MILLION babies lost to abortion. To remember each of these babies they played Taps on the bugle and we marched through the streets of Atlanta. We marched in silence for those that don't have a voice. We marched because life is precious.
