Reminder: 40 Days For Life Campaign
The 40 Days For Life Campaign begins today and ends November 4th, 2007.
From the website:
Why 40 Days?
Throughout Biblical history, God has used 40-day periods to transform individuals, communities and nations...
* Noah was transformed by 40 days of rain
* Moses was transformed by 40 days on Mount Sinai
* David was transformed by Goliath's 40 day challenge
* Elijah was transformed when God gave him 40 days of strength from one meal
* Nineveh was transformed when God gave the city 40 days to remain faithful
* Jesus was empowered by 40 days in the desert
* The Disciples were transformed by 40 days with Jesus following His resurrection
Imagine the transformation God could accomplish in America this fall when individuals and communities unite together for 40 days of prayer and fasting, pulling out all the stops to end the violence of abortion...
You can be a part of that transformation by taking action today!
Never underestimate the power of prayer. You CAN make a difference.

Dearest Kimberly:
In re your pro-life effort, I can send on to you a JPEG of Dmitri Petrov's painting "The Prayer of an Expectant Mother". He painted it in 2005, and it is heart-stoppingly focused and moving. It is a mother (obviously pregnant) praying in an empty Russian church. She is alone, except for her toddler who is sitting on one of the benches. The church is darkened except for the candles burning in front of the ikonostas.
I can send this on to you, contact me at bmdrezhlo@yahoo.com (delete this sentence after reading it to maintain my privacy, dear).
