If you keep doing what you are doing - you'll keep getting what you are getting.

I thought of this saying as I prepared to write my pastor's column which, at this time of the year, entails encouraging you to consider participating in the March for Life in Little Rock next Sunday, January 19.  It seems that my words of encouragement are heeded by the same people who go to the March every year.  Let me say that I think it 's great that we usually fill-up a busload of people to go to the Mass and March for Life.  I pray that these faith-filled believers in the sanctity of human life, will continue to take the time annually to give public witness to the importance of protecting human life from the moment of conception in the womb of a mother.

But what about the many who have not participated in the March and probably won't, no matter what I, or anyone else, says or writes?  Well, after walking into the narthex of our church and seeing all the baby items that have been brought and donated so far, I remembered that there are many ways to promote the sanctity of human life, and I thank God for the many who are doing it in this and in other ways.  The effort is ongoing and varied, and I am confident that all that we do will ALWAYS give honor and glory to the God Who created every human being in His image and likeness.  Our ongoing prayers and actions DO make a difference.
