Reno Sees up to 2 Feet of Snow

A storm has hit Reno, with as much as 2 feet of snow standing in places around the city, and yet the prayer at the sidewalk continues.   Did you remember to Pray to End Abortion?

Please make a point of coming to the sidewalk to Pray!   You can make a difference and play a role in saving a life and a soul.   Tomorrow the killing resumes, if they can get there to provide death, certainly we can make it to provide life.   But to make it more manageable, be certain to dress appropriately.   For a full set of tips to help stay comfortable while you’re out in the elements, go to our document “It’s Not Cold,” located at: www.40DaysforLife.com/docs/its_not_cold.pdf.

40 Days through Scripture

Day 5: Mark 1 – 6 (including:    Mark 2:18-20)
The disciples of John and of the Pharisees were accustomed to fast.   People came to him and objected, “Why do the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?”   Jesus answered them, “Can the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them?   As long as they have the bridegroom with them they cannot fast.   But the days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast on that day.

Is not the bridegroom missing from the abortion site, where He is dearly needed?   In His absence, let us fast, as we seek to bring those who are lost into the presence of the Lord.

Join us as we read the New Testament over the course of the 40 Day campaign.  To get the complete 40 Days Through the New Testament list, go to: www.40DaysforLife.com/renotahoe/NewTestament, print it out and get started now.

A Tale of Two Words

[Alliance Defense Fund] - by Gary McCaleb - For six years, the legal battle was joined in Arizona, as the Alliance Defense Fund and allied attorneys battered against stonewalling state officials who were determined – in the face of every legal precedent – to block applications for a “Choose Life” license plate.

The donnybrook of motions and counter motions finally climaxed at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, where judges ruled in favor of ADF and those asking nothing more than the freedom to use their license plates to encourage people to support childbirth and adoption.

After the decision, I watched as a reporter approached our allied attorney.  He quickly got to his zinger: “Isn’t this way too much fuss over two words?  Does anyone really care?” 

I laughed out loud.  How many of his paper’s advertisers, I wondered, would turn up their noses at the chance to have two words of their choosing displayed on thousands upon thousands of automobiles across America?  How many politicos would love that opportunity?  And how many unborn children – if they could speak the longing of their hearts—would say: “Choose Life?”   To Continue Reading
