“What can we do?” “How can I help?” “My voice will never be heard.” These are questions and statements I hear quite a bit while I am visiting with people in our community about the work at HOPE. I get it. I was in that place for quite some time. I had aspirations and ideas, [...]
September 11, 2001 brought so much anger, disgust, and fear. None of us knew what the days before us would bring. The great America was no longer untouchable. We had become vulnerable and the enemy attacked that vulnerability. This day 15 years ago changed the lives of so many. It left kids orphaned, wives widowed, [...]
The Supreme Court of the United States ruled today on a Texas law that was passed in 2013. You can follow the previous link to read the entire piece of legislation, but the court ruling today mainly dealt with admitting privileges of abortion doctors and the hospital-like standards that these facilities should be required to [...]
The senseless attack on innocent people this past weekend has captured the minds, hearts, and discussions of the American people. This isn’t the first time we have seen an attack on our soil and, sadly, this will probably not be the last. A coward has once again decided to force parents, siblings, and friends to [...]
Dear Mr. Turner, You don’t know me and probably don’t care to know me, but I have been watching the case involving your family and I felt the need to write to you. I cannot imagine what you are going through. I am sure this case has absolutely rocked your family and altered all you [...]
My plans for today’s post were changed last night. I had toyed with a few different ideas. I thought about tackling the abortion law in OK and what that means for the pro-life movement, sharing my opinion on Miley Cyrus and her new partnership with the largest abortion provider in the country, or diving into [...]
I hated, and I do mean HATED the game "Red Rover.” I don't know who "Red Rover" is but I would like to punch him in the face. "Red Rover, Red Rover, send Lu Anne right over." For an un-athletic, shy little girl you might as well have shot me. And for some stupid reason [...]
A few weeks ago I discussed the narrative of our day; a narrative that is destructive to life. I focused on the work of pregnancy centers and putting our pro-life stance to action. Today I want to expound on that and discuss changes that can be made in our conversations as we continue to wade [...]
I remember an old saying that hung on the wall in my childhood home, “Anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a dad.” I took note of this at a very young age. I analyzed and studied it as I looked at my relationship with my own dad and the [...]
I spend a great deal of time discussing here and other places the narrative of our day; a narrative that is destructive to the pro-life movement. It is this narrative that has brought us to where we are today in our society. A society, mind you, that participates in about 3000 abortions every single day. [...]
