It's a Matter of Life and Death

With the election only a few short days away, I wanted to take the time to remember the least of these and remind us all to think of them when we cast our vote. If you're a visual person like me, sometimes it helps to see pictures.

Fortuantely, this baby will live, but not all little ones will. It's hard to imagine, but approximately 4,000 precious lives are aborted each day. Did you hear me people? 4,000 lives! These numbers have just torn me apart lately and I've been trying to spend more time in prayer for those women who have the ability to choose life.

How do I know this little one will live, because this is our little one. That's right, baby #4! He or she will make their appearance around the end of April. Each time I have seen this munchkin, I am struck by how amazing God is and how precious each life is. This is not a fetus or a blob. It's our baby!

In case you're wondering how to vote, please let the rest of my chatty clan help you out.
