Take A Stand.

This picture was taken yesterday and appeared on the Huffington Post.

Yep, that’s me at the Supreme Court, taking a stand for LIFE – for the unborn. I have been doing this for a few years now and I am honored to be apart of Bound4LIFE.

More Than Words

Before joining Bound4LIFE – and crying out for the ending of abortion -  I had a lot to pray or you could say, I could pray long prayers. Not that it was out of pride, I just needed to say what I was feeling and such. But when I started praying at the Supreme Court, with LIFE tape on, the words started to escape me. Yes, because of the LIFE tape, I have to be silent… but that is the power of it.

The hours of silence drained the words out of me, until I could feel what I was praying. Deep started crying out to deep and what could have taken some time to pray now could be articulated with tears. God, in the silence, revealed himself. I was changed. Waiting with him, before him, in him changes you. Prayer became more. More than words and hopes. I found someone in the waiting. A man of strong emotions. Of unfathomable passions. A man of tears and a man of joy. A God who I wanted to see but now I could feel Him see me, with eyes like a burning fire.

Intercession to be sure is verbal. But intercessors are connecting with God not through words and actions but through emotions and agreement. Words can only take you so far then comes the breaking point. Most people get to the edge but then retreat because of the need to fill the void of quietness. They feel useless unless they can get loud or can articulate what is goign on inside of them. They pray and read hoping to somehow put into words the prayers burning inside of them all the while not realizing that the inexpressable is expressing, through them. The bible calls it groans that words can not express. These groanings are nothing less then eternity breaking in upon the soul of man.

We need to learn to wait on him. Wait and pray. Pray and listen. Listen and respond. Respond and agree. Agree and wait.

Let the groans, prayers, intercessions of Jesus be birthed in you. And don’t worry how to express it. You don’t have to figure everything out. Just pray.

Back In D.C.

Welp, I moved back to the D.C. area on Monday – thanks to all those who prayed for me and the Bound4LIFE staff – and since that time have had a great time. Here are a few of the highlights:

1. Spent time praying in JHOP D.C.
2. Rode in a car for an with Rev. Pat Mahoney, President of Christian Defense Coalition, as he talked of the early days of the pro-life movement. I love that man.
3. Sat on the front row of the senate confirmation hearings for Gov. Sebelius.
4. Passed Michael W. Smith in the hall of the Dirksen Senate Office Building.
5. Passed Bob Dole in the Dirksen Senate Office Building.
6. As of April 1, the Cherry trees reached their Peak Bloom Period!
7. There is nothing like a Silent Siege at the U.S. Supreme Court.
8. I now live in a city with a Civil War Battlefield at it’s center.
9. Historic downtown Fredericksburg is quaint and charming.

This move has brought me back to the city I love – Washington D.C.

A Simple Question

If a woman is pregnant, then what is she pregnant with?

As I see it you have limited choices:

1. Human
2. Alien
3. Clump of tissue
4. Animal (Dog, Cat, Mongoose, etc.)

Yeah, I know it’s a simple question but yet somehow people are stumped by it — really. I have spent many a days, with Bound4LIFE, praying at the U.S. Supreme Court and have of course had to answer questions about why I am praying.

Here is a little scenario:

Spectator: What are you doing?

Me: Praying for God to end abortion.

Spectator: What? Why?

Me: I believe murdering innocent children is wrong.

Spectator: Well the fetus is not a person.

Me: Then what exactly is a woman pregnant with?

Spectator: Bigot.

Sure, not everyone responds like this but I think you would be surprised by the number of people who do. It seems as if simple common sense has all be escaped us as a society. Or, perhaps it’s easier to convince ourselves that a child is less than human so that we can feel better ourselves. Either way abortion is wrong and must stop.

Back At It

Well, it has been a while since I have blogged or even had a website to blog on. Nevertheless, here we are.  You might have noticed that I have a new look and I would like to thank my friend and comrade Craig Kuhns for helping me out with this great new look.

Ok, I am back at it, in full swing, and ready to go! I will be posting here regularly but I also blog full-time (as in everyday) for Bound4LIFE. So make sure to read that blog as much as possible. (as in everyday)

You may say, “What?! You blog everyday?”. Yes, I do. In fact, I have become a huge fan and have grown a fond appreciation for blogging, micro-blogging, vlogging and social media.

My desire to blog and blog often comes from 3 truths:

1. Through blogs anyone can be a voice for change and revolution
2. Without vision people perish
3. Grass-roots and community are the life blood of this justice movement

More on all of this later but for now let me say, I look forward to building a community here and allowing all my faithful supporters and new friends to catch a glimpse of what I am doing.
