This week’s song is from the talented Elizabeth Campisi. I really enjoy her her music, and the thought and meaning behind each song. I could go on and on, but I’m just going to let this song speak for itself.

Hi Readers!

Thank you so much for your continued support, and helping me spread the truth of life! You guys are awesome. I’m writing this to let you know that I’m out of town this weekend, and won’t be posting until next week. I’ll be at Benedictine College for a scholarship competition, so please keep me in your prayers. I’ll be back in action next week 🙂

In the meantime, leave me a comment with something you want me to blog about! Send me an email with your pro-life story! Share a post with your friends! Ask questions if you have some! Share your stories, and never loose faith in this battle for life!

For the Dignity of All Human Life,

Laura

No, actually, don’t smell him. I don’t know what he’d smell like…

You’ve probably noticed that my posts are rather serious, and rightly so – life is a serious issue. But honestly, sometimes we need to lighten up and enjoy life! Smell the bacon, or alfalfa (see picture to the right). With that in mind, I’ve decided to institute a new tradition: Musical Mondays!!

I’ve always enjoyed music, and music can move us in ways words cannot. I’ll probably post some sort of question or thought that has to do with the song as well.

I’ll post all different kinds of songs except rap, hard rock, people who are screaming instead of singing, or songs with bad language. Make sure to check every Monday for a new song, and let me know what you think!

This song came up on my Pandora a few days ago, and I immediately thought “That’s my first Musical Monday song!!!”. This song pretty much describes my life: I want to do something that matters that people will look back on and know “I Was Here”. And, no, I am not into singing fluffy words that don’t mean anything. Like they said “I will prove you wrong if you think I’m just talk.” I’m not just saying I want to do something that matters, so believe me when I say I’m definitely working on it now! The time is now people. Do not put off until tomorrow what could be done today!

P.S. Just so ya know, just because I post these songs does NOT necessarily mean I endorse the people who sing them.

Today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day!

Let me start by saying that I don’t know everything about MLK, and have heard rumors of disagreeable things he did. But for the moment, I am choosing to overlook those things, and focus on the epic things he did!!

If you don’t already know [which I kind of doubt], Mr. King was an incredible person who fought for the right of all people to be treated equally, regardless of the color of their skin. His efforts did not go unheard. Today we do not have segregated buses and drinking fountains (that I know of), and I don’t have a second thought about seeing people around me of every race. It’s become a way of life (well, I’ve heard that racism is still prevalent in some areas of the country, but those peeps are just taking longer to jump on the bandwagon of reality and truth!).

Here’s a video of his timeless “I have a dream” speech. Love it!

It seems such a foreign concept nowadays to be against someone just because of the color of their skin, but I am reminded that people are still targeted for reasons that are just as preposterous. For example:

• Babies are killed – why? Because of their age and location, and sometimes gender. 
• Elderly people are euthanized – why? Because they are a burden to have around. 

“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”

Where do you stand in times of challenge and controversy? Are you sitting in your seat with a bag of popcorn, or are you in the crowd fighting for what you believe in?
