By the time you read this column, you will have either gone to the annual March for Life in Little Rock or not.  Certainly, a gathering of thousands of people who believe that human life is precious from the first moment of conception until death, and that it needs to be protected, is a powerful witness and is one way to change hearts and hopefuly, laws as well.  The March, however, is one activity on one day of the year.  It is even more important that, in daily prayer and in continual action, we speak loudly of our concern and care for human life, especially the life of the Unborn and their mothers.

I thank God for the many who participated in the Knights of Columbus Baby Bottle Campaign in October that brought in around $7,000 for Pro-Life ministries and activities in our area and in our state.  It was also good to see all the baby items that were recently donated for our baby shower.

Finally, the Arkansas Legislature has begun and hopefully, Pro-Life legislation will be promoted and passed with the prayers and encouragement of many of us "Pro-Lifers."  We will let you know if and when it is helpful for us to contact our legislators and ask them to pass Pro-Life legislation.  Efforts that are ongoing and sincere will indeed have the greatest impact and lead to the best results for many for years to come.
