?Please dress warm and layer, layer and layer some more!?

That was the advice that Kathy, the 40 Days for Life leader in Columbia, gave to prayer volunteers on a day where the temperature stayed well below freezing. She followed her own advice, with multiple layers topped off by a hoodie, wool sweater and warm coat ? plus two pairs of gloves.

Throughout the day, Planned Parenthood had a staff of ten on the job ? for a total of 12 clients.

?We are doing the right thing,? Kathy said, ?and God will save many babies as together we pray on this sidewalk ? God?s sidewalk ? and offer up our prayers of thanksgiving and praise to Him!?
