The last few weeks have been overflowing with interest in The Well. Which has been great, however I have not talked about being a birth mother this much before. It seems that people now know that I am open to talking about it that it is the topic of most conversations. I have also had women who want to talk about other things that are affecting their lives, that they know I can relate to, like a woman who just wants to talk about being a single mom and how difficult that can be, as well as women who just want a safe place to talk to other women about "life." I'm glad that I can be easily approached by all of these people. I'm looking forward to God blessing The Well and The Wellstone ministries this next month.

I've started a life group for Birth Mother's and Birth Grandmother's, my mom is leading the latter, The group meets on the third thursday of the month at 7pm, at Cornerstone Church in Crystal, Mn. We are open to all ages and all amounts of time since a Birthmother has placed her child for adoption. The Mission is to provide a physical place for healing and peace. This group is important to support and encourage women.

I spoke last Sunday at a Lutheran Church in Plymouth, MN.
It was sanctity of Life Sunday across America, do you know what that means? It is a day to remember how important life is. It falls on the Sunday nearest the Row vs. Wade decision. When we decided it was ok for a mother to take the life of her child before it is born. When we decided it was ok for a woman to cause anguish to herself for the rest of her life. When we decided it was ok to eliminate a generation before it even had the chance to take it's first breath. 43 million abortions have taken place since we made this life devaluing decision.

Again, it has been a while since I last posted. It has been brought to my attention that I like most American's have put the crisis in Darfur to the back of my mind while I live my busy life. Filling my time with business that is not really beneficial to nearly anyone. Ok, that may be taking it a little far. Though when I think of Darfur I am overwhelmed and I don't really have much hope for it. I hate to say that out loud. I do have hope for the situation I just don't have much hope that America is going to help. We usually don't until it is too late.
