Wouldn't humans be fantastic creatures if we could only commit ourselves to practicing our ideas? The mind outruns the meager ability of the human will, weakened by worldliness and sin. But what separates humans from all the rest of creation is the fact that we can create beautiful ideas, even if we cannot put them into practice. We constantly dream of a better world, more focused on God and love for neighbor. We dream of feeding the poor, saving lost souls, and ending abortion. And yet, we often do not meet these lofty and noble goals, at least not on a large a scale as we would like. But why? So many people believe strongly in such objectives, but they don't assist in completing them, and it is therein that lies the great adversary of our age: apathy. Nationwide obsession with television and the Internet numbs the soul and breeds laziness.
To create a world of joy and peace, a world that already exists in the depths of the human soul, we must overcome this collective apathy and rise to the occasion. Young people must act on the beliefs they already have to bring this world into physical reality, for without conscious human effort, we will never have it.
So don't wait for us all to go pray at the abortuary together, don't wait for us all to find a time to go to adoration as a club. Don't wait to put that idea of yours into action. Say it and act on it. Create the Kingdom of God in your own heart, and it will appear on earth.
I've been thinking about this a lot lately, and I thought you all might like to hear about it :)

Rosary at the Abortuary
This Saturday at 9:00 there will be a Rosary for Life at prayed in front of the abortuary in downtown Huntsville. Mrs. Rawlings will be there, and it'd be great if we could get some members down there too. Most of the people outside protesting are older, and it's wonderful that they go, but it would be even more wonderful if some young people would come out to support life as well.
I know it's early, and I know it's Saturday... Believe me, I know. But make your early rising a sacrifice for all the innocent lives and the rosary gets double power :) or something.

Delivery Thursday
Dearest Club Members,
You are cordially invited to join us this Thursday after school when we take our baby drive items to Choose Life at long last! Bring cameras if you can; Mrs. Anderson wants pictures. The volunteers at Choose Life have also graciously offered to give us a tour of their organization so we can see the work they do firsthand, so plan to act like a very nice tourist for a few minutes.
Hope to see you there!

Pro-Life Flash Mob!
The world witnessed one more example of just how awesome the pro-life movement can be this Monday when two or three hundred joyful youth showed up at a pro-abortion rally with... yellow balloons! How cool is this group? They came in with such joy and exuberence, which I really believe is essential to the pro-life attitude. It's pretty hard to love other people's lives if you don't love your own a bit too :)

which is where I got mine.
