Signs

Image
Signs, signs everywhere there’s signs!   I sang to myself as I was praying at Planned Parenthood last Tuesday.  I was looking across the street at Lincoln right to life’s new pro life Center.  "Choose life!"  "Pray to end abortion!"    Do this, don't do that, can't you read the signs? 48th & Old Cheney facing North towards Lincoln Right to Life pro-life center  The chorus from The song, “signs” from the 1970s  was ringing in my ears.   what are the rest of the lyrics to the song, “signs“?  I googled the lyrics to “signs.”   I didn’t know the band, Tesla had a more explicit version of "signs" released in 1990.   We were planning to see Tesla in concert that Labor Day Sunday, September 2. Our friend, Russ and his band, Street Legal,  were the opening band for Tesla and Foreigner that day.    I looked towards Planned Parenthood and read the sign , “No trespassing, violators will be prosecuted....

Man's Choice

Image
Today is Day 29 of 40 days for life. I signed up to pray every day from 7:00-8:00 a.m. In front of the Planned Parenthood at 5631 South 48th Street in Lincoln, Nebraska. Last Monday I was praying about 7:15 a.m. on the sidewalk in front of Planned Parenthood. It was twilight when I heard a man's voice.  "Excuse me ma'am,"  I turned around and saw a man on his bicycle with all of his race gear on.  It looked like he may have been training for a triathlon.  "Thank You for being here."  "I don't come out here (to pray) but thank you for being here."  I could see the emotion in his eyes. Before I could say anything he pedaled off.  I'm guessing abortion has impacted him on a personal level at some point in his life. The next day was Tuesday, which is abortion day at the Lincoln Planned Parenthood.  A young hispanic man, I will refer to as Juan, parked in the Planned Parenthood parking lot.  He walked up to a priest and a nun from a loca...

Planned Parenthood Trees 2

Image
Some may say it is a coincidence. May 2012.  The only tree left in front of Planned Parenthood appears to be dying. Planned Parenthood (5631 S 48th Lincoln, Ne) under construction last fall of 2011.  Trees at front entrance dying. Planned Parenthood opens February 2012 and performs surgical abortions on Tuesdays.  Dying  trees are cut down.

Flying with the TSA

Image
Last April was the first time I had flown commercial airlines in over a year. What a difference a year makes.  As I approached security, I couldn't help but notice these photos posted by The TSA. (Transportation Security Administration) giving you a hint of how you will look after the image scanner undresses you.  I was mesmerized by the androgynous figure with a penis at the 5 o'clock position.  Does everyone have to go through this scanner now? My question was answered when a surly female TSA agent commanded me to step into the scanner. I stepped in, put my hands above my head.  The TSA agent said "O.K." so I proceeded to step out. "No, No!" She shouted, I meant O.K. I was ready to take the picture."  "I have to give you a pat down anyway."  She gave me the option of a patdown in a private room or right there.  I stayed put. The TSA agent then proceeded with the pat down, directing me to tell her if there are any sensitive area...

Baby Footprint

Image
   I was sitting in my car outside the Planned Parenthood clinic on South Street in Lincoln, Nebraska.  It was the Friday before Halloween and there were seven days left of 40 days for life. I was quietly praying and had no intention of getting out of my car until I looked up at my sunroof and took a double take.  The dark leaves of the tree set the background. The sun was at just the right angle.  The sun showcased an imprint of a newborn baby footprint on the sunroof of my car. It looked as if a baby had stepped right onto my sunroof.  I later compared the imprint to my son's newborn footprint and they were the same size.  About three inches. Newborn footprint on the sunroof of my car  While I had no intention of getting out of my car, I was too freaked out by my infant "visitor" to remain seated.  I got out of the car not knowing what to make of the sign.  Should I tell someone?  There was only...

My Medical Records at Planned Parenthood

Image
I walked into the Des Moines, Iowa Planned Parenthood on September 1, 1988 and underwent an abortion. I never thought I may one day need my medical records from that place.  I wasn't thinking of much other than hope that Planned Parenthood could get rid of my "problem pregnancy."  I had gone all summer suspecting I was pregnant but quickly dismissed the possibility.  After all, I had just started birth control pills I had obtained from the Fort Dodge, Iowa Planned Parenthood in May of that year. Ten years ago, I was able to obtain my records from Planned Parenthood in Fort Dodge, Iowa.  But when I called to get my records from the Des Moines Planned Parenthood where I had my abortion, there were no records of me ever being a client there.  I was transferred to the manager of  Planned Parenthood.  I asked him, "if I was a client in 1988, would I be in your computer system?  He said, "yes you should be in the com...

Planned Parenthood's Trees 1

Image
Planned Parenthood at 5631 S 48th Lincoln, Nebraska Lisa and I have been praying at the site of the new Planned Parenthood, set to open in "late fall."  During prayer, I couldn't help but notice the sickly trees leaning on each side of the entryway.  I mentioned this to Lisa, who said she had just read about sycamore trees in the Bible.  She stated that God will destroy and uproot sycamore trees as a sign of his judgement.  This sparked my curiosity.  I don't know enough about trees or the bible but I was willing to do some research.  Here is just one of the verses I came upon concerning sycamore trees and God's judgement: Psalm 78:47 "He destroyed their vines with hail and their sycamore-figs with sleet." I went to the nearby Earl May Nursery to get some more info on the sycamore tree.  I asked an employee who was watering the trees if they had any sycamore trees.  He said they only carry one sycamore type and they didn'...
