Baby Saved At Planned Parenthood! Officer Bealls, Why Do I Always Get In Trouble For Recording? And More From This Week's Ministry

Hi everyone,
The last two weeks have been busy with street preaching. We have been preaching in Camden, Rockland, and Portland. We found out we really like a spot near the Rockland post office. No one has given us any problem for standing there either time we went and the post office is busy with a lot of people to see and hear us. There is also a bank across the street along with a large parking lot. So far we have only been there twice but we may go back some other time.

Daddy has been preaching on everything from abortion, Mary and finding out she was pregnant with Jesus, to the conversion of the Saul of Tarsus. And no matter where he starts he can always get to the Gospel!

When we are in Rockland and Camden not many people stop and talk to us. One day we did an abortion sermon in Rockland at Chapman Park right near Main Street. We had one lady come up and ask us about war in other countries where innocent women and children were murdered and how people who approve of that are sometimes against abortion. I told her that murder is wrong in every circumstance. But I also told her that no one is "innocent" before God because we have all sinned.  The woman then walked away telling us that all babies who are a aborted go to Heaven and if they lived they would have a chance of going to Hell. For all Calvinists out there you can see the problem with that. But that is another discussion.

One day we preached outside the local High School were I would be going in the next year or so if I was in Public School. We did not talk to many people but we also got there late when some students had already left. We took out our booklets from Human Life Alliance about the truth of Planned Parenthood. We also took our "Everyone Worships Something" tracts.

On Sunday we went out in town with a large group of friends and sang Christmas carols and read Scripture and then Daddy preached. It was great to have friends join us for street ministry! Usually when we are around our own home town we are by ourselves.

Other than that one woman who talked with us about abortion, pretty much no one has talked to us any time we were preaching in the towns around us. In Portland however, that is another story.

In Portland we no longer have a police officer sent out to stand on the sidewalk with us every Friday at Planned Parenthood. Those who have been reading my blog for awhile know that there used to be a police officer sent out to stand on duty at Planned Parenthood. I have now been assaulted a couple times in the last 2 months. I wrote to the chief of police saying that either he should continue sending a police officer out to the sidewalk or I may just have to start calling 911 when things like this happen.

This week I was assaulted by a young woman who was trying to defend Planned Parenthood. Sadly she was very deceived and tried to deny the fact that Planned Parenthood practices dismemberment of babies. We have a huge graphic sign out on the sidewalk,(thanks to EndAbortionNow,) when we showed it to the woman she claimed that we made it up. She also said that Daddy is against women's healthcare, even though half the babies that are aborted are women! Since they are not born yet I guess their health and well-being do not matter in her opinion. And that does not include the fact that abortion is harmful to mothers! Now who is really against "Women's healthcare"?

The lady talked for a little bit and when she was leaving we told her that the deathscorts were still standing for murder. She then came back and after a minute held up one hand and with the other hand she blocked my phone, which was still recording video, and pushed the phone towards me. She almost touched my nose pushing my phone and then touched my scarf. I asked her not to touch my phone and Daddy told her that if she did we would call the police. She looked at me with a facial expression that pretty much said "poor little girl" and then laughed. What the woman may not have realized is that Daddy caught the whole incident on his body camera. The funny thing is, both Daddy and Brian had body cameras on. She did not touch them only my phone. You can watch the video of the interaction and assault here. (Warning: the videos have a graphic sign in them.) Please be praying for this woman's salvation!

Do any of you have a strange relationship with a deathscort? If so please write it down in the comments section, I would love to hear it! I have a really weird relationship with our deathscort/police officer at Planned Parenthood. Officer Bealls used to come as a police officer but now she is a deathscort. I walk up on Friday mornings and she is standing there in a pink vest as a deathscort and we greet each other and sometimes we talk together. She acts as though she likes me. Most other deathscorts will not even say "hello" to me let alone have a conversation. I am actually able to talk with her and she will take a letter from me that has Bible verses written in it. This Friday as she was leaving she even let me take a picture with her! Please be praying for her salvation and for me as I continue to talk with her!

This week as we were standing out at the abortion mill we had the rare joy to hear that a baby had been saved from death! The father of the baby told us that he had been praying for days and his wife or girlfriend had been late to her appointment. They took her even though she was late but she did not have enough money. I do not know if there was a genuine change of heart for the mother. Brian was there and gave the father contact information and I also had some cards from Redeeming Grace Fellowship in Portland. I do not know if we will ever hear anything else from this couple but hopefully they will contact one of the Churches and receive help and discipleship as they raise this little baby! Soli Deo Gloria!

I may not have mentioned this before but my father has seizures. This week he had one as we were leaving Planned Parenthood. My sister and I helped him to the van and our group helped load the van and such. We were able to help him sit down in the can and he was fine, but Mommy was sitting in the van and saw the face of one of the deathscorts "M". "M" seemed to have genuine concern for Daddy while he was having a seizure. "M" is not usually friendly to our group and is a big supporter of Planned Parenthood. She not only looked concerned but when someone walked into Planned Parenthood she did not even open the door for them which was her job where she was standing. I wrote to her on Facebook to let her know everything was okay and to thank her for her concern and to tell her we love her. Maybe God will use this situation to help us connect to "M". You can see the video of the whole incident here. Please pray for "M"!

After abortion ministry we went to Wiscasset where Mommy stopped to feed the baby (who is four months old today!) Most of us just stayed in the car but Daddy got out to do a video. Some of you may have seen that earlier this year my family had some issues with the town of Wiscasset. The chief of police did not like where we were standing and thought we might block access to the handicap parking space by Mommy standing with the two little ones sitting in a stroller with some signs up against a tree. This week in Wiscasset the sidewalk was cleared but the handicap access was blocked with snow. In the place where Mommy was standing that in June supposedly could have blocked access to the handicap spot now has a snowbank blocking it. A snowbank is not conducive to wheelchair access last I checked.

After Daddy took a video showing how the town was not handicap accessible he got back in the van. While all 8 of us were sitting in the car we noticed someone really close to the back of our van. We realized that they were using their finger to write in the dirt on the back of the van. Daddy and I got out with a camera and asked them what was going on. They said "We wanted to know if you were vegan". On the van we saw written "R U vegan?" We have a sign on the side window that says "May the Lamb who was slain receive the full reward of His suffering!" I guess they did not understand that the "Lamb" is Jesus Christ. Anyway after they were asked not to touch our van the one lady said that she was going to do it again and wrote a "peace" sign on the back. We called the police and the women got in their car and left. The police showed up and after talking for awhile and sorting out some confusion as to what had happened, the cop said he would try to call the women whose license plate number we had given them, and then he left. The funny thing was we had written on the window with white markers. The women only wrote with their finger in the dirt. The officer was confused and thought that the women had decorated the entire van with white chalk markers! I would not have stopped the women if they were writing Bible verses on the van! After having some trouble with the town of Wiscasset in the past it was nice to have a good encounter with the police department.

Over all we have had a good week of ministry and look forward to more opportunities to share the glorious Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in the following weeks!

With love in the Lord,
Virginia

Quick Update On The Police In Portland, And What My Life Was Like Growing Up. With Lots Of Pictures!

Hi everyone,
I will not write about everything that happened at Planned Parenthood in Portland yesterday but I did get an email that I wanted to write about. Back in June a Portland police officer, Eric McCusker, ordered that I must stand arm's length away from a Planned Parenthood volunteer. When I did not immediately obey he asked Daddy to tell me to step away from the volunteer and told Daddy that I just kept stepping closer and closer. Daddy then asked if there was a law that said that I could not stand on a public sidewalk since that was where I was standing. Officer McCusker said that it was disorderly conduct and said "I will absolutely enforce it, whether you want me to use your child to do it or not." I wrote to the chief of police and got a letter back telling me that they were starting an internal investigation with the officer. I was involved in the investigation and was interviewed at the police station. Just yesterday I got an official letter from the chief of police that stated that the complaints against officer McCusker were sustained and that the officer will be disciplined by a week off work without pay and that the officer is also going for more training. We are glad that justice has been served! Sadly a lot of Portland police officers are not appropriate in performing their duties as a law ENFORCEMENT officer. They may know the law but they do not always enforce that law the right way. Thankfully Portland police chief Michael Sauschuck and others higher up in the force are very good at taking complaints against officers seriously. If for some reason Portland police does not deal with something that needs to be addressed, we have an awesome team of lawyers who can help us out.

I decided that this post I will share a little bit of what my life was like growing up. I will warn everyone now that it was not a normal childhood! When I was 6 years old our family had 3 children with another on the way. We had friends who moved into a camper to do ministry. We followed their lead and got a small camper packed up our house and went on the road. We did not know that the next few years of our lives would take us all over the country. We also did not know that the next few years of our lives we would be traveling missionaries. But God had plans for us and by His grace that is what we became, a missionaries on the road!

These are some of the girls of the family that we went out on the road with. They now have a couple more kids and so do we! We are not so young anymore. No we are not all sisters.

Throughout our years on the road we worked with many different Churches and with other families and groups. I have a lot of pictures from our years on the road and figured I would share them here. I know my post will look really long but the pictures do not help that any.

I said that we moved into a camper when I was 6. We went to Ohio to work with a trucking ministry there. This is one of the chapels that Transport For Christ uses.

We decided not to work with the Truckers Chapel long term but God still had work for us even if it was not with the truckers. In the next few years we would be everywhere from California, Texas, Kentucky, Kansas, Florida and more! After a while living in our first camper, which was tiny I might add, we moved into a bigger camper. We bought our 12 passenger high top van back around the start of our ministry and it is still running today! Yes, it has tons of miles on it, but it still runs and it still has Bible verses on it. "Old Faithful" is still a silent witness to the Gospel.

On the silver van pictured we still have the sign on the back window but we changed the one on the front window. If you ever want your car decorated with Bible verses I suggest Watchman Gospel Signs.

Our first camper was a fifth-wheel and was 24 1/2 feet long. It was kind of small but we made it work for awhile. The next camper we bought was much bigger! The next one was 31 feet long, HUGE! 6 people lived in that camper for 2 years. Camper living that is the life! Or Key West Florida that was amazing!

One of the groups we worked with was the GNOM team. (Good News On the Move) It was a group of young men from around the country who would travel in their sprinter sharing the Gospel around the country. We would also help the team with what we called the "Surge". We would go to a certain town and knock on every door in town. We would pack door hanger bags to leave at the houses as well. We would hold meetings and children's clubs and talk to the pastors in town. Surge week was a big outreach for us. People who were in charge of coordinating would show up at the town weeks in advance to get everything ready for the Surge. And if you want a door hanger bag for every house in town, depending on how big the town was you could pack a lot of bags! We would have packing parties to get them all ready. They would also rent out gathering places to hold sermons every night. It was a big deal!

 Okay, so we were not serious all the time! We have a Wii Fit Plus game so we had some fun! The back of someone's head that you see in the top picture is J.B. holding my brother Samuel, then Josh, you can see part of J.J. sitting on the couch, Caleb is sitting next to him, the other Caleb is playing, then my older brother Nathaniel, myself, and Ian. Naomi is sitting on the floor.

Note J.B.'s face in the background of this picture.

In the picture below ministry partners John and Justin and Jimmy Sanders from GNOM packing door hanger bags

Eric Smith is the one on the ground talking to the men. He is from the GNOM team.

Below is a picture of one of the GNOM teams in front of their sprinter. Where did we get the idea to decorate our van with Bible verses? GNOM!

The bottom picture is at our friend's house. Their house is where we held our Church meetings as well.

For awhile we lived in Georgia. We actually stayed there long enough to find a house to rent. For our family that was a LONG time to stay in one place! Usually we just stayed in the camper. We did not bother with renting a house unless we were staying for awhile.

Below is my friend Kayla and I together. I think we were at a conference at Myrtle beach when the picture was taken. Her family is the one whose house we meet at for Church services.

Another place we did ministry was Kentucky. We lived up on a farm that our friends owned. They gave us a spot to park our camper so we were happy. We worked with Bluegrass Bible Fellowship while we were there. For Christmas one year we built a giant gift box to put on top of a trailer as a float in the parade. The Christmas outreach was just one of the ministries we did there. GNOM also did a Surge in Kentucky one year.

 This is my dad with one of his best friends, Jesse Everling. They were also our neighbors twice when we lived in Kentucky. When we were in the camper and when we went back a few years ago we rented a house right next to theirs.

 This is the Church we worked with in Kentucky, Bluegrass Bible Fellowship

One time in Kentucky we met at a hotel for our meetings. 

This was the giant Christmas float that we put together. Romans 6:23 written in huge letters on the side. 

What was life like on the road? Well lots of driving! Good thing my siblings and I liked each other!

While my family is Maine we still joke that our home is actually Key West, Florida. We lived there for 8 months and absolutely loved it! We would move back there if we could. We made a lot of friends there. We lived for awhile at 720 Southard St. Which was also the chapel in town. Later we moved to Cudjoe Key. We had a house there right on the canal. With a screened in back porch off the second story, jellyfish and other animals in the canal and plenty of coconut trees it was really nice.

 This is 720 Southard street otherwise known as the chapel or for us it was home for awhile!

This was the back porch of our new home on Cudjoe Key. Yep, I liked those days.

 In Key West if you are truly a Key West native you are a Conch we did not meet that qualification but we liked pretending we were real conchs.

 Ever seen a real cruise ship? Not those little fake ones that only hold less than 200 people. I mean a real cruise ship. These things are huge!

 In the front of this picture you can see Jase with the bandanna and Blue next to him. And if you didn't tell there happen to be 2 cruise ships in this day. In Key West they have what they call sunset celebration every night for 2 hours before sunset and 2 hours after sunset. Cruise ships have to leave before the sun goes down so that everyone can have a good view of the sunset without a huge boat in the way. Every night there are street performers and a few times a week one of our friends "Bible Bill" goes out to do a paintboard presentation and preach. We made friends with a lot of the performers such as Jase and Blue. 

 This is Bible Bill (center) and Tim (Right) One of Bill's paintboards is in the back.

 This is "Blue" He was one of the street performers. He did juggling and rode a unicycle. Not a baby unicycle but a real one. Like 9 feet tall.

 This is David and Tobin, or the "Flash" They juggle flaming torches around a kid's head. Somehow I got picked for that routine. But I made some money on the deal so I was okay with it.

 This is Jase with his baby unicycle, only like 7 feet tall. He also did juggling and such.

 This is Johnny or "Dr. Juice" He is an acrobat. He does his show at Mallory Square. When we were there he did his show in the same place. He actually had a spot on the bricks that was a different color because of how he kissed it every time he did a show. Okay let me explain kissing the bricks. He did "dips" he would put his body in the shape of a "C" kind of like he was doing a hand stand but then he would use his arms to do a push up type thing. Every time he went down he would kiss the brick.

 This is Adrian. He was the barker for the local "gentlemen's" club. Daddy actually wrote a tract for the strip club. Adrian actually made it so that Mommy could go in when there was not really any business to talk to the women and give them a rose. That is when our family started "Precious Jewels" which is now the name I put on tracts to give to the women going in to the abortion mill. For those who are freaking out right now, Mommy went in to the strip club. And the women in there were better dressed than the women of the street outside. We are not crazy we just found a way to show God's love to these women and took the opportunity to do so.

 For those of you who like pictures of Key West without a bunch of people in the way, here is Key West.

This is Michael. He was a local homeless man we became friends with. For those of you who think we are strange for being friends with the street performers and the drunks, the barker for the gentlemen's club, and the homeless. These people still need the Gospel and we are the light of the world. Matthew 5 does not say "You are the light of the world, except to those people who seem really evil and too far gone." We are the light of the world. No exceptions! Share the Gospel with everyone! These people are human beings just like us. The only difference is our position in life and God's saving grace. Without God it could be us sitting in their position today.

This is one of our kids club. Our friend Lucy is the one teaching.

This was another kids club we were part of here in Maine. This is the chapel that sent out my family as missionaries. 

This is kind of related to ministry. This was a picture of my baptism. It was in my grandparents back yard. Which is now my backyard. 

Well that should be enough pictures, and writing, for now. I like to write a lot don't I? And my love for pictures does not help. I hope this is just a glimpse into my life growing up. Lots of ministry and lots of God's grace and mercy! Soli Deo Gloria!

With love in the Lord,

Babies Saved From Death, John Barros' Thanksgiving, Street Ministry in Rockland, and Bible Memory.

Hi everyone,
This week by the grace of God our murder mill in Portland was closed! We enjoyed Thanksgiving with family at our house. We then enjoyed a Friday morning without having to go to Portland to stand pleading for the lives of babies because their mother was going to murder them. I do not know if any babies were spared from death because the murder mill was closed or if their death was just postponed but we still are Thankful knowing that no babies were murdered at that mill on Friday.

Sadly the murder mill in Orlando, Florida was still open. John Barros is a full time minister outside this murder mill in Orlando. He attends R.C. Sproul's Church who supports him so that he can be at the murder mill full time to plead for the lives of the unborn. He has a great ministry there and many babies are saved due to his work there. On Friday John wrote:  "Well it was a different kind of Black Friday than most of you know of down here today. The people that came were so Vile, threatening, and Angry that we were here. The Lord turned three away but ten babies met their end. So Thankful to have Matt, Beth, Karen, and John, serve throughout the day."

John had an amazing story from Wednesday:
"But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, Bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.Luke 6:27-28
Today was one I will never forget. Matt, Pastor David, Elizabeth, Sionna, and Bill served throughout the day. It was slow with only five coming and we had one turn away. It was a day filled with the word, praise, and prayer. It was a Blessing to serve. When they were finished with all the abortions they locked the doors. I stayed to pray and was going to leave several times over the hour or so I was praying but something stopped me.
I heard a voice calling from behind the mill. I opened my eyes and Tireya the lady that runs this place called me down. She grabbed me by the elbow and said "Come with me." She led me to the back door and said "Come inside its Thanksgiving." At first I stopped in my tracks and then Kerry did a light frisk of me to see if I was carrying.
I went inside and all of the workers and the abortionist Randall Whitney were there getting food from a pot luck they had brought together. All but a couple of the new girls were happy to see me and one got me a plate of food. This was the most Surreal position I have ever been in. I was able to have conversations with all I wanted to one on one.
I told them all that I Loved them. Kerry said "You could sure fool me with all the videos you have done against us" I gave it my best to let them know that because I Love them I say those things. The message I preach is because I Love them. I can Love them personally and hate what they do. I warned them again that it is wrong and they need to get out.
It was so strange to see them being so nice. Thanking me for coming all these years. You know blindness is just that. A couple of the ladies I know want out and are being convicted but the others don't see it.
The abortionist Randall Whitney was so kind. He was worried about my knees and back. I have preached against him literally thousands of times. If you type his name into Google you will see a small portion of the times he has.flipped me off down here. We have been battling a looong time. He came over another time and told me that he will probably be.losing his license. He has a hearing December 1 for some clerical error of.some type. He shook my hand and thanked me for being there but said i will have to battle someone else after the first.of the year. He thanked me again and I knew I needed to get out before I started weeping as they were all wishing me a happy Thanksgiving. I cried all the.way home. I really do Love these folks and don't want to see what will happen to them if they don't repent and turn to Jesus.
Please Pray With Me For This To Happen... And Happy Thanksgiving To You And Yours
Please pray that the Lord would use the time we spent together


I will say I have never had anything like this happen to me before. I echo the request of John, pray for these people at the Orlando Women's Center! Pray also for all those involved in the murder of children around our country and around the world. Pray for their salvation!

In more abortion ministry news, our dear friend Patte Smith posted on Facebook earlier today:
Rejoice with us!
Denise and Raj just left with their little son or daughter safe inside the womb!
They have opened their hearts to their little baby and embraced the precious gift that God has given to them.
They took a blessing bag and Raj shook my hand and thanked me.🤗 I saw Raj embracing Denise earlier as she wept in his arms. He motioned to Zack to be quiet for a few minutes while he spoke with Denise. So Zack ceased his open-air pleading while the couple were embracing and speaking to one another.
We are always thankful to see the tender-hearted parents, who, sadly, are few and far between.
I showed Raj and Denise my contact information on our special ministry packet. I invited them to write to me if they had any needs or wanted support or would like prayer or if they simply just wanted to tell us their story. I do hope they write to me. But, we praise God for the way He uses His Word to speak to the consciences of mothers and fathers. Glory to the Lamb!

Praise be to God for saving these babies and for all that He has done through the lives of His faithful servants!

As I said earlier our murder mill was closed which meant we had our Friday open to do ministry in the next town over, Rockland. This weekend was the Festival of Lights celebration. Rockland is known for their art, (they call themselves the art capital of Maine) they are also known for the Lobster Festival which is held every August, and for their huge lobster trap christmas tree. The Coast Guard helps put together lobster traps into a 30 foot tall tower in the shape of a tree. On Friday night they lit the tree which has a lobster figurine on top. The event drew hundreds of people to watch the tree be lit. It may have also helped that Santa was supposed to be there.

We did not keep people from the tree lighting but we did use the opportunity to pass out tracts, hold signs, preach, and read Psalms through an amplifier for some of the people as they came. We had one person start yelling at Daddy while he was preaching that the "lamb was murdered" and that "religion is the number one cause of homicide". He yelled for awhile despite the rebukes from his group who kept repeating his name over and over. Pray for the salvation of this man, Tim.

 I was able to use the amp to read Psalm 96, 145 and 146. Which I highly suggest rereading. On Saturday our local art museum held an event featuring horse drawn carriage rides, cookie decorating, a giant train set, and more. We positioned ourselves in the middle of the activity and Daddy preached and we sang Christmas hymns and some of my younger sibling used the amp to read or recite Scripture. We did not have any good discussions with people but nevertheless the truth of God's Word was proclaimed.

I have been requested to share how I memorize Scripture. My approach is basic, I read a verse or section of a verse and then repeat it over and over. After I have done that I move on to the next verse or section of verse and repeat that. I then say both verses or sections together and then move on to the next part. I continue to do this for awhile. If I am doing a whole chapter I can start repeating a smaller section. Like if I am memorizing say Romans 1 instead of restarting at verse 1 once I have memorized the first paragraph I can start repeating at the second paragraph. Once I have practiced the passage I may recite it to my sister or Mommy or Daddy.

Another thing I use is memverse .Currently I have my schedule set so that I have about 30 minutes a day to memorize on Memverse but you can set it for much less time. The basics of Memverse. When you sign in you put on the Bible verses that you want to memorize in the version you use,(You can use different versions for different verses). They will then make these verses pop up in your daily memory session. In regular review you can make it so that the site gives you the first letter of each word and then you have to type the whole verse by using those letters as prompts or if needed you can show the whole verse. When you have completed typing the verse correctly and without spelling errors it will tell you that you are correct and you then rate how well you did on the verse. There is a scale from 1-5 for you to choose from. On passage review it brings up the entire passage everywhere from 1 verse to a whole chapter and there will be words missing or maybe the entire verse missing and you have to fill it in. No spelling errors are allowed although punctuation and capitalization is not needed to move forward. Depending on how well you rate that you know the verse the site will put off giving you that verse for a certain number of days. Once you are only reviewing a verse once every 30 days it is considered memorized. Currently Memverse says that I have memorized 546 verses but that does not include all the verses I know that is just the ones that are considered memorized according to their system. I currently have over 1,000 verses marked to memorize on Memverse but not all of them are coming up in my memory sessions right now. I memorized Romans, Ephesians, and the first 13 chapters of Proverbs so far this year.

People think that I am good at memorizing but I when I am memorizing I spend time on it. I know that even if you spend time on it it may not come easily to you but I encourage you to keep trying. Hiding God's Word in your heart is important. Work at it and you may be surprised how much you can memorize!

With love in the Lord,
Virginia

Maturity And "Teenagers"

Hi everyone,
My post this week is about maturity and living above cultural norms. Please hear me out and do not think I am bragging. People tell me how smart how I am, and how well I write, etc. Why do people say that? Why do I somehow stick out from the rest of the crowd? Why am I seen as some smart young woman? Why am I seen as so mature? I think the answer is in what we expect of young adults and how my generation is trained. We do not expect enough of our young adults.

In our culture young adults are not trained and expected to act as young adults. They are trained to act like "teenagers" whatever those are. They are given a cultural excuse to rebel against their parents, to act like children who get the privileges of adults without having any responsibility. And I am just going to say it and I think I am speaking for a lot of Christian young adults who are classified as "teenagers". Christians, please stop saying things about teenagers acting up when they reach their teen years like that is a normal part of life that every person will go through when they turn 13 until they reach 19 or 20. Please stop saying that when a person is being defiant they are just acting like a teenager. Please stop giving everyone an excuse for their actions simply because they are a teenager.

Please stop stereotyping people between the ages of 13 to 19. We as Christians are called to be different. We young adults who are Christians do not want to be grouped in with the teenagers of our culture who have nothing expected of them. It should not be a surprise that we can cook a meal, or interact with someone who is not our own age, or care for younger siblings, or actually be able to understand what the pastor is talking about in the sermon because we actually read our Bible once in a while, or that we are able to understand terms like "justification" or "atonement" or "apologetics" etc because we have been trained in the Word of God. 

These things should not be a surprise. As a young adult Christian I want to be more than the teenagers of the world. I should stand out from the world, but my ability to understand things of God and expressing myself in writing and conversation or my interest in apologetics and such should not be a strange sight at Church. I suggest that the reason that I stick out even among some other young adults from professing Christian families is because of Christians buying into the culture's idea of what we should expect from young adults.

People in the Church have bought into the idea that people between the ages of 13 and 18 or 19 should not be able to communicate with people outside of their age group, they have bought into the idea that young adults cannot learn how to run a household and care for younger siblings, they have bought into the idea that a young adult can act however they want and they do not have to take any responsibility for their actions. This is not how Christian young adults should act. We should be expected to be preparing for our lives as adults which will come quickly. We should be able to survive in the real world.

People say I am sheltered. I think teenagers who are in youth group all the time who never talk to anyone older than them besides their family members, who do not understand basic doctrines of the Christian faith do so because instead of actually doing Bible study in youth group they play games. People who instead of surviving in the real world sit at home playing video games while their parents are expected to do all their chores, how are these people going to survive in the real world?

I am learning how to be a wife and mother. Oh yes, that is right I've been told I do not have to worry about that because I am not supposed to get married for years because after all I am only 14.
The idea that marrying at 14 would be wrong is yet another cultural idea that the Church has bought in to which is no where in Scripture. But back to the point at hand, I am being trained to be part of the real world.

I am also being trained as a Christian who can clearly articulate my faith and defend it against attacks from the enemy. I am being trained in the fear and admonition of the Lord. I am being trained to be a help meet suitable to my future husband if that be God's will for my life. I am being trained to train any children that may be entrusted to my care in future years. I am being trained as a ballistic missile in the army of the Lord. I am being trained as a soldier who will be in a spiritual battle to my dying breath. As a Christian I am always going to be on the front lines of the battle. Why should I put off my training until I am older? Right now is a great opportunity for me to learn and practice skills that we needed throughout my life.

For all Christian young people who are seen as the strange ones in your Church because you are striving toward maturity in your walk with the Lord, please realize that you are not alone. There are other young adult Christians who are like you. We are seen as the strange ones that only hang out with the adults because we have nothing in common with the other teenagers who want to talk about the latest TV show. It is okay to be seen as the strange one because you want to talk about the Bible while the other girls want to talk about which boy is the cutest.

It is okay that you find more in common with the pastor than with the girl closest to your age whose sunday school class you are "supposed" to be in. It is okay to be seen as the strange one who wants to take books out of the Church library that have to do with theology instead of the romance novel. It is okay to be seen as the strange one because you listen to a James White podcast instead of which hip hop song is the most popular. Do not give up if you are seen as the strange one who does not fit in with the other young adults. Find an adult who will talk with you when all the youth group kids see you as an outcast. Find someone who will encourage you in your walk with the Lord. Do not worry about fitting in. Being strange for the right reasons is okay.

I hope people do not take me as rude but I want people to stop stereotyping Christians along with non-christians. We are different. Do not hold us up to the same standard. You can expect something more from us than you would expect from a secular teenager. Please start treating us as young adults. I know we are young but we are still all brothers and sisters in Christ no matter our age. We should be able to carry on a conversation about the Bible on a level more than a first grader.

We do not need to play games during youth group we can stand a Bible study. We do not need to be segregated into a class of people our own age. We can carry on a conversation with adults. We can talk about theology and apologetics. And none of these things should be seen as strange. These things should be expected of young adult Christians. We are Christians who love the Lord and want to see Him glorified in our lives. We want to be seen as competent young adults who are preparing themselves for their future lives. We do not want to be held to the same low standard that the culture has for their young adults. We want people to expect us to act like young adults and not like little children. We want to be different than the world. But sadly in American Churches today when Christian young people stand out from the world they generally stand out from the rest of the young adults in their Church as well. They become the outcasts from the youth.

To adult Christians: If you see a young adult in your Church who seems to not be hanging out with the youth group kids, start a conversation with them. It may just be that there is one of those "strange" kids in your Church. See if you can be that adult who treats them like a young adult Christian who has something expected of them. Do not treat them as some super special smart kid because they actually take an interest in their walk with the Lord. You can praise them for their maturity but it should be expected that a 14 year old Christian can carry on a conversation about the things of God. Please treat as the young adults we are and not as the children that most people our age act like.

I hope that this post is seen as a challenge from a young adult who knows all to well what it is like to be the one who sticks out from the crowd.

Planned Parenthood Update
For those of you that read my post from a few weeks ago. The man who assaulted me outside Planned Parenthood a few weeks ago was found. The DA called the other day and the man has a court date on December 7th. Please pray for the whole situation as we may have to go to court depending on what happens December 7th. Pray that justice and served and above all that God is glorified.

Deathscort Irony, Pray For The Police Deathscort, And More Abortion Ministry!

Hi everyone,
Our family is now back to the point of being able to go to the abortion mill more often. This week was a little crazy at the abortion mill but no need to the call the police or anything.

I mentioned in last week's post that there is a Portland police officer who is now a volunteer for Planned Parenthood. She is very polite to us and talks to us. Her name is officer Bealls. I had nicknamed her "officer Schooley" because she looked so much like my friend with that name. She will say "Good morning" and when we are leaving she will say "Goodbye" and tell us to have a good day. This week she talked to me some. I did ask her what her last name was so that I could call her something besides "officer". At one point during the day officer Bealls told me that there was one guy on the sidewalk who she was keeping an eye on. I do not know what about him makes him someone to be careful around but at least officer Bealls keeps an eye on things even when she is a Planned Parenthood volunteer.

Next time I see her I am hoping to have a conversation about the Gospel with her. All the deathscorts can hear the Gospel being preached but I want to be able to actually talk to her about it as well. I think it will be easier to talk to her since she will actually talk to me. If I tried to have a conversation with some of the other deathscorts they would probably either turn their back to me, ignore me, or laugh that I would try to talk to them. She is one of the 3 deathscorts that I have actually talked with pretty much at all. One of them that I will talk about later, Marian, has talked a little before and taken tracts from me. She seem so to be one of the more friendly deathscorts. The other deathscort that talked to me is a new one I think. She talked to me a little bit but I do not know how long that will last. Please pray for the Salvation of all the deathscorts and that officer Bealls will be willing to talk to me and that I would be given words to speak and wisdom during the conversation.

We have found a Facebook page for one of the deathscorts, Marian, we look at it occasionally to see what is going on. She loves animals by the way. First point of irony, she loves animals and yet stands in support of a murderous organization and leads children to their death but she loves animals. Recently Mommy looked at Marian's Facebook page. There was a picture on there of Marian along with two other women. One of the women was her sister and the other was her mother. The thing is  we know her mother! Her mother is a midwife at our local hospital! Talk about irony. Her mother helps women care for their unborn children and tells them all about their "baby". Meanwhile her own daughter volunteers at Planned Parenthood helping make sure women murder their "fetus". How can one who has seen the precious gift of life given to so many different families, who has helped so many women have healthy pregnancies so that their babies are healthy, who has herself had the gift of life given to her that she may carry a precious child in her womb, how can someone like that stand the fact that her very own flesh and blood stands for the murder of children? Their jobs are very different. We mentioned to Marian that we knew her mom but her response was not as impressive as I was hoping it would be. I have not yet mentioned the fact to the midwife that I know her daughter but I do want to talk to her about it next time I see her. One of the funny things is that I think the midwife likes me. If only her daughter did too. Marian has always looked somewhat familiar to Mommy but we did not know why. Now we know that it is because she looks so much like her mother. Please pray for the salvation of both of them.

As soon as we got to the abortion mill a man started arguing with Donna who was just walking down the sidewalk with her sign. Here is a video of the interaction

Another man came up and was arguing with Daddy. The man was a little loud and a little too close to Daddy for my liking. Thankfully the man did not punch Daddy, (which was highly possible due to his anger) and after awhile walked off. During the conversation the man said that the Lord is not God, the Lord is His Son. Evidently John 1 was not something this man had studied enough.  He also said that Psalms were something people had made up. He was not happy with Daddy because Daddy kept going to the book (the Bible) instead of logic. Well that is another discussion for another day about how he can justify logic apart from going to the Bible. But keeping to what happened. The Bible is the truth. The man asked if he wrote a book if Daddy would obey it. That had a simple answer, the man is not God. Here is a video that includes the conversation which starts around 8 minutes 20 seconds. Sorry for the terrible video quality I was using a makeshift kindle holder attached to my bag and I could not see what I getting video of. So I apologize for the terrible quality. I also apologize for all the profanity from passersby. We do not remove it from our videos. Please know before you turn the video on that there is very bad language in it.

After Planned Parenthood outreach we went to Wiscasset to hold signs. We did not preach or pass out tracts only held signs. We have now been to Wiscasset a few times to do ministry. Twice a local man has called the police on us. This week the man who called the cops on us was there and kept running down to the door from his second story apartment. Either he really likes running up and down the stairs or he was trying to catch us doing something so that he could have something to report to the police. The police never showed up while we were there but it seems that this man is still unhappy with us. Another woman was also in the same building and at one point I thought she may have called the police but they never came to talk to us.

After Wiscasset we went to Waldoboro to hold signs as well. Nothing really happened there. We were holding signs for the cars going by but where we were there was no foot traffic.

One thing I would like to mention is our family's new Facebook page. Recently we started a new page, Public Proclamation of God's Word, The Bible.  The page was designed so that Christians can share video, audio, or written testimony of sharing God's Word in public. People do not have to preach, just read Scripture out loud in public.  I would encourage everyone to like the page and share what you have been doing to share God's Word with the world.

Without God we are nothing. He has saved us from our lives of sin, He has made us His sons and daughters, He redeemed us with the blood of Jesus Christ, how hard is it for us to get over our fear of man and go boldly proclaim God's Word? Believe me it is not that scary! Please visit the Facebook page, share it around on social media, share it with your friends, we want everyone to go out and share God's Word. It is not hard. You do not have to be gifted as an evangelist or as a preacher, just go share how great God is by reading His Word in a place where the world can hear you.

Take 15 minutes a week to go out to a busy place in your town and just read a passage of Scripture. Share with us how it went. Even if no one listens to you on the street you can still be encouraged by the fact that you proclaimed God's Word. You can also be a great encouragement to other Christians who are doing the work of preaching around this country. Take this as a challenge for this week. Share God's Word in public. You never know what will happen. Serving our King is a great adventure! Proclaim His goodness and give Him the honor, the glory and the praise He deserves!

With love in the Lord,
Virginia

Crazy Day At The Abortion Mill, Including Physical Assault, A Police Report, And More!

Hi everyone,
On Friday we once again had the privilege of  joining our brothers and sisters in Christ at the Planned Parenthood in Portland. We had no officer on the sidewalk with us when we showed up besides the one police officer who is a volunteer for Planned Parenthood. Yes, you read that right a police officer who is also a Planned Parenthood volunteer with a pink vest and all. That officer is at least polite to our group and responds when we say "good morning" and will say "bye" and tell us to have a good day. Another "deathscort" also talked to me some. Strange but a pleasant change.

We had the regular day of passing out tracts, having our signs out, preaching the Gospel, prayer, and a great time being able to be together as the body of Christ to proclaim our glorious Savior, Jesus Christ. Who has saved us from our lives of sin and by His grace and mercy has made us sons and daughters of God.

One person walked passed us saying that we hated women. What I do not understand is why a lady would say that we hate women when a lot of the people standing for life are women. I guess if her assertion is true I hate myself because I am a woman. I also must hate all the other women who stand out there as part of our group and I must be lying when I tell the woman "deathscort" that I love her. I do not know how she knows whether or not I love or hate someone. Evidently she knows my thoughts.

This is the adult male who assaulted me.

We also had some new happenings this week. A man came up to Mommy and took a tract from her which he then threw into the nearby trash can. I am calling him a man but really he is not a man only an adult male. He then came up to Daddy who was the preacher this week and started mocking him by repeating what Daddy said. The good thing was he repeated anything so he would repeat "Jesus Christ is King". Daddy was wearing a very visible body camera that we had borrowed from our friend Brian for the day. The man did not seem to mind that camera. However I took the kindle I had and started taking a video. The man evidently did not like that and decided to physically assault me and hit my kindle. Thankfully I was not injured.

The man then walked down the sidewalk. Daddy followed him and told him that we were calling the police and that he could not leave until he had talked to an officer. The man did not seem to want to stay around and wait for a police officer and crossed the street and walked off. When the man hit my kindle we shouted for someone to call the police. Soon we had I think 3 people on the phone with the police and Daddy was following the man down the street so that we could report his location to the police when they arrived.

The man who assaulted me walked into the post office and the police told Daddy to stand outside the building. Soon a police officer arrived followed by 4 more officers. Two officers went to the back entrance to watch there while 1 stayed with Daddy and 2 more went searching the post office. Thanks to the body camera the police officer got a picture of the man. Donna was also there today and got a good picture as well. (Posted above) Soon Daddy came back to Planned Parenthood and the officer also came and needed to talk to Daddy and I. I had to sign the police report and give my name, date of birth, address, phone number and the usual things. He asked if I was injured but I was not. The officer, Blake Cunningham, was very kind, respectful, caring, and overall professional. Daddy has already posted a recommendation of him. Officer Cunningham was going to track the man down and if he needed us he would call. We have not heard from him yet.  We will check the police blotter sometime to see if he was ever arrested or summoned. Please be praying for the salvation of the man who assaulted me. He needs a saving knowledge of the truth!

Prayer time at the mill. Chloe (right) Kiara (left)
Myself (center)

Another man made a gesture that was kind of like he was smacking a tract out of my hand but did not actually touch me. It was after the other man had assaulted me. The man tried to explain what he did and say that he did not actually touch me, which was true, but the definition of assault is not physical touch but making gestures or saying something that is threatening. He says that he was holding out his hand like a hand shake and then moved it like he was combing his hair. Very immature to say the least. Believe me I could not make this stuff up. We did not call the police on him but we were not happy with his actions.

Chloe, (a.k.a. C-Flow), Kiara, and I had a good time of prayer together. It is always a blessing to be able to pray together especially when it comes to a stressful place like Planned Parenthood. Even when no one seems to be listening to the Gospel or when people are very angry, we can always take our burdens to the Lord.


Nothing else big
happened at Planned Parenthood today. We did get the ever famous phrase, "Judge Not". If only people could read the whole Bible and not just cherry pick the parts they liked. I seem to recall another verse that said, 'Open your mouth, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy.
Maybe we should start taking the whole counsel of Scripture.

After Planned Parenthood we traveled to Wiscasset to do some ministry. We had had a run in with law enforcement there back in June. (See my post from a few months ago, "A Week With The Police".) We contacted a lawyer, by the way I highly recommend Center for Religious Expression if you ever need a lawyer. After talking to the lawyer they wrote a letter to the town of Wiscasset.

The town wrote back and said that we were allowed to come back to the town and our lawyer wanted us to make sure they would allow us back so we decided to go back this week. We showed up and almost immediately the man who called the police on us last time saw us again and  he called the police again this week and lied about us.

A short time later an officer showed up and asked Daddy about our van. Daddy said that it was our van and the officer said that someone had said that it was parked in a handicap spot without a handicap placard. We did indeed have a handicap  placard so Daddy told the officer and the officer left. Thankfully this was a easy situation to clear up and we did not have as many problems as last time. Please pray for this man who seems to be calling the cops on us when we go to Wiscasset. He needs salvation!

With love in the Lord,

My Blog Refuted?

Hi everyone,
Recently a friend of ours posted a picture on Facebook and talked about abortion. One of her family members said something so Daddy responded to him. The conversation turned to evolution and Daddy told the man, Charles, that I argued with a professor from Columbia University on Facebook. Charles actually was skeptical that I (informally) debated the professor and said that he must not of known much about evolution.

Now while I will say that the professor is a fool because anyone that suppresses the truth about God by saying in their heart that God does not exist, is a fool according to the Bible. But what I would not say is that the professor does not know what he is talking about when it comes to the issue of evolution. I told Charles to "Google" the professor's name and try to prove his assertion that the professor did not know much about evolution. Charles has yet to provide a single shred of evidence that proves evolution. Anyway while he works on finding evidence for evolution that does not exist he decided to "refute" my blog. He picked my post from last week about the letter to the editor that the reverend wrote in response to my letter to the editor about abortion.

Charles' post is very long so here is link. Charles is working on a video refuting my debate with the professor. I wrote to Brian and Andrew since they are also good with these things. As always Brian thinks we could do a debate. I do not know how exactly we will respond whether in video, blog post, or debate. For now I will just comment about his argument against my last blog post.

I said: One person told me that I should seek help. You know there are many good counselors. I think this person should seek help from the only one who can really help any of us, God Almighty.

Charles said: I would not say a counselor but perhaps a real school? Not the suddo (sic) Christian indoctrination cycle you guys pathetically pass off as a school. I mean a real school, where you are taught science. Not this pretend 'christian' science. Yes, kiddo that is all christian science is, pretend. You are the product of abuse. Being denied truth in favor of fairy tales rather than making that choice for yourself after the age of reason. You did not make the choice it was made for you before you were ever born, by your parents.

You know this man is blaming my parents for what I said instead of me. If that is what he believes than why is he going to blast my name on the internet because of what I said. This guy has my picture on his Facebook page many times. But that is okay it is not my fault it is all my parents fault that is why he is blasting MY name and MY picture?  Why am I being held accountable for what I said if I had no choice in what I believed? This is confusing.

Charles said: So let me pose the question that you seem to ignore. How many hungry and needy children have you cared for? When was the last time you donated money to a children;s hospital? When was the last time you skipped a meal to feed a hungry child. The point this person was making, is your hypocritical double standard. 'Don't kill the unborn, but after they are born, screw them.'' Typical of a Christian but on an open debate not a great move.

Just so you know Charles. My parents believe that children are such a blessing that they have 7 of them. Because of this the state will not let us adopt more children to care for. When our group is at the abortion mill we offer help to mothers. And just because we do not donate money to children's hospitals why is it my job to take of someone else's child? We take care of our own children and then do what we can to help others. I think that is a pretty good approach. And to those who have the resources to care for hungry children by providing meals and such that is great for them. But we use the resources God has given us and other people use the resources God has given them. Is abortion acceptable if indeed we did not care for born babies? Is it acceptable to kill babies because their parents don't want to care for them?

I said: Another person said they wished they lived in a world where people like me did not exist. Well I bet that is how they feel about the one true God but that does not make Him, or me, cease to exist. You can wish all you want but that does not change reality.

Charles said: First, let me strongly disagree with said person. I do not want you Christians to disappear, you're to much fun. '' You can wish all you want''. Funny coming from someone who prays to an invisible creature they have never seen and can not prove is real. Wishing on a star is essentially your entire belief system.

I am a presuppositionalist. I can prove that God exists. But I do not think you are going to listen to me Charles. You know I have a shirt that says something very fitting it says: "I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you." Oh, and while I wish all professing atheists came to a saving knowledge of the truth I think talking to you is fun as well. By the way there are no atheists in the world.  Professing atheists know God exists they just suppress the truth in unrighteousness and last I checked people who do not exist cannot cease to exist. 

I said: Another accused one of the "fundies", I assume she meant one of our group, of saying that pregnancy resulting from rape was a blessing. I admit it, I think that even if the child was conceived because of rape that child is still a blessing. Children are always a blessing! This person may have been the one I had a discussion with on Planned Parenthood's facebook page because they accused me of something similar there.

Charles said: Woa. See this right here is indoctrination at it's finest. You are going to, with a straight face look at someone your own age, who after being brutally gang raped, tell them god blessed them? Let, me get this clear. God blessed them by having them raped so they could have a baby, when they themselves are still a child. Perhaps you should take some time and talk with actual rape victims. Go down to the local crisis shelter. Talk with them, see how many are feeling blessed.

Yes Charles I am going to tell a rape victim that the child in their womb is a blessing from God. Rape is not a blessing. Rape is evil it is a man willfully making the decision to brutally harm a woman It is terrible what happened to them that produced that child but the child is still a blessing and cannot be punished because of the sins of their father. I will love them and will help them in whatever way I can and share the Gospel with them. I will cry with them and do whatever I can to help them heal from their terrible circumstances. But I will not tell them that they can kill a child for the sins of their father which is expressly prohibited in God's word.

I said: That was just a few of the comments. Recently another man wrote a letter to the editor about his views on the abortion issue. This man claims to be a "reverend" and calls himself a christian. But I can tell you that in this aspect he is not acting Christlike. You can read the letter here. I am not writing exact quotes due to copyright laws but if you read the letter first this should make sense.

Charles said: Copyright laws do not apply to letters to an editor. 'Judge not, lest ye be judged.'' Ya, I am paraphrasing but I think the point is rather clear. You are judging someone far older than yourself who in all likelihood has studied the bible for twice as long as you have been alive. It is your opinion he is not Christlike. How do you know? Did you meet Christ? Or is your statement based on what you believe the bible says? I suspect the later.

The Bible also says, "Open your mouth judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy" I am "judging" the reverend based on the clear revelation of God. God said something clearly in the Bible, "You shall not murder". When someone says that it is okay to murder I can say to them that God said "You shall not murder" and that is not me imposing my opinion on someone it is me pointing someone who claims to be Christian back to the word of God. And in answer to your question, yes, I have met Christ. He is my Lord and the Holy Spirit is dwelling inside me. It does not matter how long someone has been studying the Bible that does not mean that they cannot be wrong. Everyone is fallible instead of looking to people's flawed interpretations of Scripture look to Scripture itself.

I said: This man thinks that I am entitled to my opinion but I am not allowed to require other professing Christians to to agree with me. I do not require other Christians to agree with my opinion. I just tell them that they need to agree with God's word. There is a difference. My opinion does not matter, what God said in His Word does matter.

Charles said: I Timothy 2:12 ''But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.'' So do you agree with God's word? Are you 'in silence''? Apparently god's word does not matter to you. Only the parts that you think are important and have translated to fit your narrow minded viewpoint, do.

So I am not allowed to speak at all? I am not in authority over men. I can say what God's Word says and when I do that it is not me speaking from my own authority that is God's authority because He said it. When I speak I am not in authority over men I am merely expressing my opinion. Like I said my opinion does not matter.

I said: At the end of the letter the reverend said that in such a context abortion can be morally justified and ethically correct. Since abortion is murder, this "reverend" just said that murder is morally justified and ethically correct in at least certain circumstances! And then he calls himself a person of the Christian faith!

Charles said: Oh no whatever will we do?! This guy who claims to be a Christian disagrees with me! ..... Yes kid it happens. This only offers evidence your bible was written by men, not a perfect god. If it was written by a perfect god then the message within would also be perfect. It would be unmistakable and understood by all who read it without any room to be mistranslated. Oh, and no he said under certain circumstances abortion is justifiable, not that murder is justified. 
To save the life of a mother who happens to be nine years old and was brutally gang raped by an Islamic extremist group, defiantly (sic) seems justifiable. Does it not? Or are you the judge of whose life is more important? If the doctors do not preform (sic)the abortion she dies. Now let's say they share your view and do not preform (sic) it. The mother dies. Is that not murder of the mother? .... I know Christians brain working overtime now.
Yes people are going to disagree with me. I know, trust me plenty of people disagree with me. The problem is not when people disagree with me, the problem is when someone says that they believe God and call themselves a Christian and then deny the plain meaning of God's written revelation. That is a problem. People can disagree with me all they want, they just should not disagree with their Creator and King.

When you say that this offers evidence that the Bible was written by men I have to disagree. The Bible is the Word of God. People are fallible that is why there are different interpretations of the Bible not because the Bible is in error it is because the people reading it are in error.
Let me translate. Abortion is murder in every circumstance. So when someone says abortion is justifiable they say that murder is justifiable. Now I think you are trying to make me feel pity for this hypothetical 9 year old. Yes I would feel sorry for this young mother and would do everything I could to help her, like I said before. Now I would like you, Charles, to provide me with one piece of evidence that shows that pregnancy has ever killed someone. And if the pregnancy has not yet killed the girl how do we know it will? Sometimes doctors make mistakes and misdiagnose someone. And no I do not think that murder is justifiable in any circumstance.

Charles said: You have done nothing but offer opinion. In direct violation of I Timothy I might add. You do realize that Planned Parenthood does more than just abortions right? In fact abortion services make up a very small percentage of what they do. Maybe just maybe, if you I don't know, actually visited a facility and talked to the people inside a light might come on for ya.

Yes Charles I do know that Planned Parenthood offers more than abortions. But no matter how much supposed good someone does that does mean that they are allowed to murder people. As long as Planned Parenthood provides abortions I cannot support them. And if I tried visiting the Planned Parenthood facility in Portland which is where I minister I would be arrested by Portland Police Department. Let's make a deal Charles, if you make a deal with Planned Parenthood in Portland and with the police that says that I will not be arrested for criminal trespassing and that a Planned Parenthood employee will actually talk to me and answer my questions I might go in and talk to them. But sadly I do not think that will happen.

Prayer
Please be in prayer for our family as on Tuesday we are planning on going to Earth Science Day in Augusta. I am hoping to be able to have conversations with some of the scientists there about evolution and the Christian worldview. Please pray that I would have wisdom and that God would give me the words to say and that God would open the eyes and the hearts of the scientists to the truth of His word. Please pray for their salvation.

With love in the Lord,
Virginia
