On Tuesday, January 22, 2008, an opportunity came my way to do something I never would have dreamed of if you told me years ago.
At the end of our group’s “Liturgy At The Time of Death” for the pre-born, I got up some nerve to ask the man in charge of the podium if I could share a song. (Thank you Pat Mahoney-at least I think that’s your name!) In short, there was a keyboard available, and I was able to sing “Choose Life” right in front of the United States Supreme Court! ![]()
What an awesome privilege and honor to be able to sing the cry of my heart at the foot of the steps to that institution that houses a court that condemned so many innocents to die 35 years ago. Just so you know that I do not speak from a spirit of condemnation, one of those innocents was my own first child, slaughtered because my fellow countrymen and elders saw fit to make abortion the “law of the land”, and spread lies and misinformation to young people like myself and my husband. Of course, I take responsibility for taking that action, and thank God for His grace, mercy, and forgiveness for the commission of that sin! I also know though, that had it not been “legal”, I would now have my 27 year old child to look in the eye, and would not have to wait until I cross over to the “Church Triumphant” to meet this one! I continue to pray that abortion will not be legal in our land! Lord, have mercy on us! Choose Life!!
Singing in front of the Supreme Court. That’s pretty good. I sang in front of the Supremes. I think I win!
