I have a dream...

and it's freedom for the unborn. Free to have life, free to grow, free to love, free to know their mother. Today, I went to witness the largest pro life rally that I have ever seen. Thousands came in complete silence to protest the incoming nation's largest abortion clinic downtown, 78,000 sq foot clinic performing procedures up to 26 weeks.

You would think, only the crazy fanatics do this type of thing...but it is not. It was the normal all American guy, newly weds, veterans, moms to be, and those that regretted their decision to abort. It's heartbreaking to stand there, as much for the victims Planned Parenthood takes, as to see first hand the depravity of our land. Planned Parenthood called out the HPD because we are dangerous??? I think not. It was a peaceful, compassionate, and transforming demonstration.

Men working inside the building stood memorized at windows watching the rally below. While their foreman or rather, forewomen, stood mocking with another worker. Standing for Truth is what our Almighty God has called us to do. So I invite everyone reading this, to join us this February 11th at Crossroads Baptist on 242 in The Woodlands 6:00 pm to stand for the sanctity of life! These pictures represent stepping outside the comfort zone and doing God's work.


The 'new' building...

Lining the sidewalks

It is life!


Peaceful prayer. Some bring ipods of worship music, some bring Bibles, some just stand...it's so simple.

Made National news...

Planned Parenthood back up...


Who comes out?? Normal people...



Crowds thickening...



Normal all American guy...


She LOVES life!




The lady in charge

Thought this interesting. Inside the fence of the new location in a rubble of trash just outside their main door, sat a cross beam of wood. I couldn't help but think, that is exactly where our Nation has put the truth of Christ.
