Leaders know that when you are fighting the good fight people say stuff about you, both good stuff and bad. Being human we tend to give more weight to the bad and let it bother us more. It probably takes three affirmations to outwiegh one low jab. Church at the Gate is filled with affirming people and I’m blessed. But today I got a big blessing from a CATG mom who forwarded on her eighth-grade daughters language arts assignment to me - it was about me! Gulp. I’ll post it below.
This is a first for me and quite an honor! Had the realization that this next generation is indeed looking up to us for models. That’s not something to take lightly. I also know these young gals and guys wearing pro-life shirts and buttons to public schools are heroes in their own right and take substantial flack for the stand they take. Even “coming out” as pro-life to a teacher can be huge. This will be the generation that wins this war. I love their boldness.

For my local viewing audience… Star Parker and David Bereit, two of the most sought after pro-life speakers in the country are coming to Sioux Falls for a pro-life rally this Sunday February 17, 2008 at the Ramkota Inn Rushmore Room at 3 PM.
Hear Star talk about the effect her 3 abortions had on her and why she now stands for life! Star Parker heads a non-profit think tank that provides a national voice of reason in the media and public policy. Also speaking is David Bereit is from 40 Days of Life. David became an outspoken pro-life advocate after Planned Parenthood announced plans to build an abortion clinic in his Texas town in 1998. He helped to start and build a local grassroots coalition that rallied 60 churches and thousands of people together and dramatically reduced abortions in the region. Planned Parenthood recognized the effectiveness of David’s efforts when it labeled his town “the most anti-choice place in the nation.” David led the first-ever 40 Days for Life campaign in College Station, Texas.
