There is a story behind this picture. 

Rose is taking cello lessons and her lesson from this week involved, her bow and life saver candies.  There is a certain way to hold a bow for the cello.  One makes a bunny with the hand and then grasps the bow just so.  She had to practice this position while holding the bow straight up (this would the 'rest' position). 

Her teacher had a neat way of making this practice fun.  She placed a hard, life saver on the very top tip of the bow.  If Rose was holding it correctly, the life saver would stay in place and not fall.

She then got to eat the candy.

Cool right?

Well not for Rose, who had just given up sweets for Lent.  She was NOT at all happy to have such a practice where, as she stated; "I have throw out a perfectly good candy!"

{Real}

Nothing was more real or more beautiful than what I saw my Rose do on this day!  She was a light for many people and made some think twice.

March for LIFE 2011

If you near would you please join us!

"The LA March is a ecumenical event that is brought to you by the Knights of Columbus, Van Nuys Council 3148. The purpose of the event is to raise awareness of the plight of the unborn and to raise funds that support pro-life causes in the San Fernando Valley."

~ The L.A March website

Our family participated several years ago, so I'm very excited to join the march once again.

This isn't a 'protest' kind of a march but a loving-educational event for everyone.  I remember leaving that corner moved and motivated.

This year's guest speakers include: Keynote, Bishop Gerald E. Wilkerson, Auxiliary Bishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles, Dr. La Verne Tolbert, Former member on the Board of Directors of Planned Parenthood NYC and now an avid pro-life advocate, and Jeff White Co-founder of SURVIVORS and Operation Rescue West Coast.

If you are near on

"America you are beautiful . . . and blessed . . . . The ultimate test of your greatness is the way you treat every human being, but especially the weakest and most defenseless. If you want equal justice for all and true freedom and lasting peace, then America, defend life." - Pope John Paul II

from darkness to Light

Dr. Bernard Nathanson

“He was like St. Paul, who was a great persecutor of the Church, yet when he saw the light of Christ, he was perhaps the greatest apostle for the Gospel. Dr. Nathanson was like that after his conversion. He went all around the world talking about the babies and the evils of abortion. Being his godmother was such an amazing thing, to see him come to Christ.”

~  pro-life activist Joan Andrews Bell

Truthfully, I didn't know who he was until I read the notice of his passing from an email.  But, I didn't get through but a few lines before I began to hurt for Dr. Nathanson.  The pain he describes is horrible. 

This man knew the hurt and evils of abortion from a unique perspective.  Abortion hurts!  It hurts the child, mother, father, extended family, and the doctors.  Dr. Nathanson came to regret his position and was haunted by the deeds of his own hands.  His conversion, both from abortionist to Pro LIFE advocate and from atheist to Catholicism should be read.  

LifeSiteNews

EWTN covering his conversion to Catholicism.  This is an excellent article.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord.

And let perpetual Light shine upon him

May the souls of the faithful departed

through the mercy of God rest in peace.

Amen.

Thinking about this:

"Several years ago, when 17,000 aborted babies were found in a dumpster outside a pathology laboratory in Los Angeles, California some 12-15,000 were observed to be black"

Wow, 17,000 babies thrown out!  My goodness do we have such a long way to go.

Happy Birthday to these babies
