I believe that everybody is created in the
image of GOD.
The baby is a baby from the moment of conception.
Life is precious.
A child is a blessing.
It's a blessing from the LORD, and everything
happens for good for those that love the LORD.
Life is a gift and every life is valuable.
All life is valuable at every stage.
I think it's clear in scripture that we are
image bearers of GOD and that Life is valuable
to HIM and should be to us.
Each person that walks this Earth is ... you
know, created by GOD and made in the image of GOD
and they're here for a purpose and
GOD has a reason and a purpose for each one of them.
 
So my heart now is to educate this next generation--
to teach them about the beauty and the sanctity of life.
Now I plan on starting a Students for Life group.
I still refer people to the Pregnancy Center
for support.
You had to really learn not to worry about what
people think of you.
You worry about what GOD the FATHER thinks
of you.
And I had a thought, and it was just what happens
when children don't have a parent to care for
them when they need it, and ever since that
point I just knew I had to do something about
these kids out there that need help.
Most recently, you know, we kind of made the
decision to adopt, and so I think, you know,
it's one thing to say you're Pro-Life and
kind of you know, be against abortion, but
it's another thing to say you're Pro-Life
and be actually FOR Life.
And if the conversation comes up in school--
just letting others know where I stand and
that they're able to ask questions...
Just letting them know where I'm at... and
being open to talk about it.
I think that being Pro-Life really requires
more faith and more sacrifice.
It's not just a political issue.
It has to be personal.
I was helping out with some construction projects
and completing a new center and it was great
for me because I didn't have to step out of
my comfort-zone.
I was able to do what I do every day but do
it in a way that changes lives, and I believe
everyone has a gifting that they can use.
So I would encourage people to do that.
It's a great blessing.
The church is the only thing that's going
to change it.
So either we're going to get active or we're
going in 20 years we're going to be talking
about this same issue and it's going to be
exacerbated so much more.
