A Pause

I promise that I will get back to answering the question raised in the last post...the last few days have been a whirlwind...

On Saturday, I got up at 3:45am, threw Mary Kenzie into her carseat and we headed for Washington, DC. Along the way we picked up my sister Susannah and a friend I met through our adoptions from Korea. We spent the day at the Capitol peacefully protesting the Health Care "reform" bill. There were about 40,000 people there. It was very encouraging to see so many people who had come to Washington at such short notice to voice their concerns over the passage of this bill. We drove home the same day and got home around 2am. Mary Kenzie was a dream! She was happy or sleeping during the driving parts of our day. And, she entertained the other protesters by dancing along the lawn.

Obviously, Sunday night the bill was passed and yesterday was signed by the President. No matter what your political persuasion may be, I think this is a sad time for America. I am concerned about the direction our country is headed as far as our freedoms are concerned. And, I am extremely concerned that every citizen will now be mandated to pay for abortions. I am sure that over the next few years we will all learn more about what the implications of this bill truly are.
