Yay! You go, girl! :-)
Abortion is so ugly. :( It is comforting to look forward to a time when abortion will be done away with. (Revelation 21:3,4; Psalm 37:11,29)
Oh, good for you, Tracy! I think FOX News covers it, but I am not 100% sure about that. I may be thinking of coverage on EWTN. God bless you and your family... prayers for safe travel! +JMJ+
I will be praying for a safe trip and good weather for you and your family. God bless you Tracy! I voted for you.
HI Tracy have a safe trip and stay warm I heard it is cold there. I tried to watch the video but it wouldn't download will try later today as it may be a problem on my end, we have slow services some day:) Voted for you
I wish I'd read this post sooner! Nine of my students and a family from my church (John and Heidi Wolfe) are hopping on a bus in a few hours to join this march. But what are the chances you'd meet up? Hope it's a great experience for you and your kids!
I hope you all stayed warm today. Bless you for participating in the March. I voted for you.
What a blessing this will be for your family! It's an amazing grace to be there. I just posted about our Walk for Life West Coast:-) Know we are praying for all of you back East.
Prayers offered for you on the March. God bless.
Stopping by to say hi and to vote for you. Hope you are having a grand time:)
