As we were walking and praying, I saw a woman, walking with a purpose, toward Francis (one of the folks praying there) and I began bracing for, what I thought, was about to become a confrontation. I couldn't have been more wrong. This was not a confrontation, but a confirmation. Let me explain. The women walked up to Francis and said I've never done anything like this before, but I had to let you know about this. She then showed Francis a photo of a young lady and said this is a picture of my granddaughter and I've had custody of her since she was 4 month old. Fourteen years ago, my daughter was pregnant and on her way to have an abortion, but when she got to the clinic there were people like you in front of the clinic, praying. When my daughter saw that she couldn't go through with the abortion and I now have a beautiful 14 year old granddaughter. She went on to say "I just wanted to let you know that you are making a difference". She then thanked us and left. The whole encounter took about three minutes, but her words will be with me for the rest of my life. To all of you who have gone to this or any other "40 Days For Life" sight, you are making a difference, you are educating the uninformed, you are saving lives! For those of you, who for all of your good intentions, still haven't made it out to a sight to pray, I encourage you to please, step out of you comfort zone, live your faith and join us in praying to save babies. You just never know how your actions and prayers might influence someone's decision to keep their baby. Catholic radio host, Patrick Madrid, referred to Christians as being part of the "Fellowship of the Unashamed". I'd say that everyone, out there praying in front of abortion clinics, are very much a part of that Fellowship. Won't you join us? All life is precious, please pray Dave This hap[pen a week after the start of 40 Days but just got our act toegthre to blog

I love the early morning hours. It’s incredibly peaceful. Always! It’ also a time when north bound traffic on Jackson street is heavy. Does being there make any difference? Why not just pray from the comfort of my own home? It’s hard to say. What I do know is that on weekdays between 6 and 8AM more than a hundred cars drive by every 5 minutes. I stopped praying for a while and counted cars. That’s how I know. Here’s what I noticed – some drive in to the main entrance – employees arriving for work – patients coming to check in – many arriving by taxi. Who knows? Maybe one of them has an appointment for an abortion. That would not be the case on a Sunday morning, but every other morning of the week – a likely scenario. That’s what I see. What do these people see? An old guy on his knees praying – with an assortment of signs: “Choose Life”… “Stop abortion, it’s killing people”… “Abortion is not a health benefit” … “40 Days for Life.” May our efforts have an impact that goes beyond anything we might see at the moment.

We have now changed our prayer time to be there when p.p. opens, because it's obvious p.p. business is hurting and besides they can never silence our love for LIFE. matt and the Helper's On the final wednesday of 40days in Everett, Wash. the p.p. changed their hours for whatever reason, but first planned parenthood changed

He was adement. I asked if his view included murder of the child. I explained the steps leading up to a late term abortion in all its details. The young man's jaw dropped. He saw clearly that the activities going on in Germantown Reproductive Services was indeed murder. He then walked away, speaking under his breath, saying "Now I have something to think about."

I tell HIM to wake me up in time to be there by 7am and he does. I do now go with a smile and am of good cheer that I'm doing the LORD's work so I wave at all who drive by GOD bless YOU all for your good work I will continue to go to Planned Parenthood and say a rosary every Monday and Tuesday morning as that seems to be what the good LORD has called me to do.

We are hoping our presence and prayers joined with the thousands across the globe - will stop the abortions here. We also had a gathering of about 50 people for a Hot soup and Chili supper to celebrate and share our stories of our 40 Days for Life. On Saturday we were made aware- by a bus driver who saw us praying for 38 days- of a local teen who is pregnant and homeless in our area. We are currently trying to make contact with her and gather her into the loving arms of our community and the services that are available to her to help her continue her pregnancy and get on her feet.- Please continue to pray for this young women and the many others in crisis pregnancies - that they will open their hearts to accept the Love and care of Christ's soldier in this battle against the temptations of evil and abortion. Thank you to all our local prayer warriors and to all of you around the world- even when I was physically alone praying sometimes - I Never felt alone knowing you were all praying with me - and God and my Guardian Angel were always with me! Keep the Faith and the prayers going.
