I mentioned the Mid Cities Pregnancy Center in my post about the SCC concert. Wonderful stories were shared through a video presentation before the concert began about the lives saved at the pregnancy center. Then again half-way through the concert the director spoke about their program and showed another movie about a young girl who chose adoption instead of abortion. The girl was in the audience along with the family who adopted her baby (the boy was with them too!). It was very touching to see the family in real life and know the center is really making a difference and saving lives.
I have always felt strongly about abortion and remember preparing speeches against abortion in high school. I was thankful to be at the concert and be reminded again the value of every life and the need in our society for programs such as this one.
In our Sunday school class we recently watched a DVD called "The Silencing of God." The speaker presented facts about the heritage of our country and the faith that shaped our country for many years which is now fading away. Anyway, one of the points he makes is that there are many issues with which we place importance and we use these issues to help us decide who gets our vote....everything from education and the environment to terrorism and health care. What are the important issues though? The two he points out are homosexuality and abortion.
When we were at the concert I thought back to the DVD series. What is God's reaction to the abortions that go on every hour every day? Are we doing anything about it? We are to value life. Is it okay to sit by and allow these abortions to continue? What can we do to make a difference and stand up for life? These are questions I've been thinking about lately. What can I do to help others choose life?

Loved this post and the passion that comes with it. I have that DVD as well. I just got it recently and plan on using it this fall.
