Yesterday I spent my annual one hour on a fall afternoon at the corner of 41st & Shirley. The event is LifeChain, a 20+ year old endeavor to declare the sanctity of the unborn and pray for an end to abortion. LifeChain is not a protest. It is a silent prayer gathering. People stand silently and hold positive, constructive signs like "Adoption is the best option," "Jesus forgives and heals," and "Pray for an end to abortion."

Interestingly, the event has drawn very little media coverage over the years- even in 2006 when people lined both sides of 41st Street from Sertoma to Minnesota. The picture above is from last year.

To me the event used to be somber. Now it is joyful! Yes, it is somber to consider the MILLIONS of humans killed in abortion. But it is joyful to declare God's truth to people who pass by.

Join us next year, 2PM the first Sunday in October.

And remember- there is only one question to ask in an abortion discussion: What is "it" that you are aborting? If "it" is not a human life, no justification for abortion is necessary. If "it" is a human life, no justification for abortion is possible.

Go serve your King,
