prayers answered and the "LIFE" tape

Thank you to all who were praying for my dad! He had some tests on his heart and they were expecting to find some blockages, but he was given the all clear on his arteries today! The response all around is our prayers were answered! Thank you!

Here in KC, we are in the midst of 21 day fast for LIFE. This is a little different than a typical fast because it includes a "silent siege" at the largest abortion clinic in Kansas City. I went yesterday and it was one of the most sobering experiences of my life. There were about 100 of us in a single line around the clinic and all of us had a red piece of tape on our mouths that had the word "life" written across it. I was around the back of the clinic and didn't see women going in, but it was sobering to stand there praying for life and protection of the unborn not 500 feet from where abortions were taking place. The siege will continue until May 28 from 8 am to 8 pm.

While I was there, a business man from the building across the street came (dressed in his business suit) and asked what was going on. One of the spokesman told him what we were doing, and the man came and joined us on the line. It actually was very cool. There was also a lady there who is with IHOP and she is 7 months pregnant and a mom of four boys. She was standing on the line with us as well with LIFE tape on her mouth and on her belly. The boys were with her there as well. It was a powerful and profound statement.

This silent siege is something that I am proud and humbled to be a part of.

I will try to post some pictures before I go back to Winnipeg in 2 sleeps! I'm hoping to spend a couple of hours there tomorrow.

See ya all soon! (at least those of you in Winnipeg!)
