I went to a meeting of the CCBR. They are a pro-life group that tries to make the horrors of abortion known to the society at large.

One idea stuck with me from a conference I attended. The speaker talked about two ways of looking at life. First, you can see that God is a part of my story. He might be a big part or a little part but He is out there. Conferences are when a speaker challenges you to [...]
