I started classes again today. I only have one on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Easy day. But not easy on my brain. I thought a lot today about hard things.

The other day I was watching ‘Cougar Town’, which is a show about a group of middle age people who are all bffs. Or something like that. Jules, the main character, is still friends with Bobby, her ex husband (stick with me). Bobby is a simple man who doesn’t know a lot of things. One day, someone decides to educate him and sends him world newspapers and literature about the issues of the world today. Because Bobby has never been exposed to these things, they consume his mind and he can’t focus or do things he normally does, like sinking the ball in the hole when he’s golfing. There is one scene on the golf course where it shows everything running through his head while he’s trying to putt.

He’s thinking so much about the things going on in the world and it troubles him so much he can’t focus. That’s how I feel 5/7 of the time. I wish I could turn my brain off and stop thinking about abortion, genocide, poverty, human trafficking, terrorism, the roles of the church in all of it, racism, starvation, disease. You name it. Sometimes I lay awake at night thinking of what I can do about it. It’s really depressing. I just don’t know how I can be a part of changing things that are in desperate need of help. So for now, I’m going to focus on just one and add others in later.

Next Friday, I’ll be heading to D.C. to work with Stand True at the March for Life. This year, I will not only be a participant, but also working to get other people more  involved. I can’t wait. Could you help out with this?

We need prayer that the media would cover this with truth and accuracy.

We need prayer for our team’s effectiveness and good attitudes.

We need prayer for all the people in a “choice” situation.

We need prayer for God to change people’s hearts.

We need prayer for peace.

At the march, at the clinics, in the womb.
