I nearly forgot, well, okay. I did forget because it started yesterday. But I was going to mention it in this morning's post.

Anyhow, yesterday began 40 Days for Life. Why 40? Because Jesus fasted for 40 days before he was crucified. So, in our teeny tiny efforts to be like him, we fast or pray for 40 days for a specific purpose. Now the purpose is for babies.

I think Amy Welborn said it best: this is not a ‘wedge issue” that “right-wingers” bring out this time of year for fun, not a “single issue” about which some wackos inconveniently and inexplicably obsess, but lives. Check out her blog for more ideas or this one for more information.
