This annual protest has been going on for 20 years, but what set this year apart was the number of counter-protesters asserting the goodness of killing unborn children. Anyone who was at the Walk would describe it as more intense than any other year.
While the audacity of the anti-life protesters is both heartbreaking and infuriating, it is encouraging that the Walk for Life is making a big enough ripple in the Bloomington to be opposed openly.
“I was surprised; so much drunkenness, cursing and swearing (even from the mouths of little children) do I never remember to have seen and heard before in so small a compass of time. Surely this place is ripe for Him who ‘came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.’”—John Wesley, 1742
The Puritans sure knew how to pray. As we enter the new year, take a minute to read and pray this prayer, taken from The Valley of Vision:
O Lord,
Length of days does not profit me
except the days are passed in thy presence,
in thy service, to thy glory.
