Day 9: Celebrity Letter
First, I'd like to say that it's hard to find something "new" to do on a cold lazy day of being stuck in the house. With that being said, here's day 9 of the journey...
Like most people, I have a slight fascination for those in the spot light, or "movie stars." I like to hear about their humanitarian work, which celebrity supports which cause... But, I've never cared that much about the gossip aspect of their lives, or of Hollywood in general. I've never had any desire to visit Hollywood, or meet a movie star. With that being said, I've not really had a desire to write anyone in the spot light a letter. Or, at least that was true until Brittany Murphy's death. I always liked Brittany Murphy. She was cute, and up beat. The news of her death made me sad, and moved me to want to write her family a letter of condolence...
I did not write Brittany Murphy's family the letter (yet, anyway). However, on Wednesday I did write a letter to the members involved in a reality TV show that my husband, I, and even Rene enjoy watching... "Dog the Bounty Hunter." Ok, laugh it up. My family thinks it's funny that we like to watch this. But, I really don't see anything to laugh about. The show is inspiring. Here you have ex-convicts going after the "bad" guy. And, once they've captured the bad guy, they try to change him, and help him in the name of Christ. Also, before each "hunt" they pray for their safely, and sometimes for help in changing the criminals' hearts. The show also makes me realize how easy it is to get involved in drugs. Just about every criminal that Dog and his crew catch is on drugs. This terrifies me because every time a criminal is caught I think to myself "That's someone's baby." So, thanks to Dog the Bounty Hunter, my children will be watched VERY closely as they grow and mature. I always knew that I would be a very protective mother, like my own mother, but, watching Dog makes all of a mother's worries a reality.
Writing a simple letter can bring extraordinary joy to someone's heart. Maybe that person needs those kinds words... Maybe the only joy brought will be to yourself... Writing a letter can be very therapeutic..I encourage you to write a letter to someone today, and bring extraordinary happiness to either the recipient or to yourself.
Day 10: Virtual March for Life
As apart of the Obama care plan, he wanted our tax money to go towards supporting abortions. Obama is very pro abortion. In fact after just three days in office Obama allowed federal tax dollars to flow to organizations that promote and provide abortions abroad. (for more info go to http://www.lifenews.com/) So, on Thursday I joined the virtual march for life. I've always wanted to go to Washington and march, but since I have my little ones to take care of I did it online instead! And, it was amazing how many new "marchers" joined every couple of minutes! The number of virtual marchers got up to nearly 80,000 people. It was so awesome to be able to be apart of something while being so far away from it! While the march was going on I wrote an e-mail to congress, opposing the abortion plan. It was absolutely extraordinary to able to have my voice be heard while playing dolls with my children.
If you missed the March for life this year because you were not able to make it to Washington, you could always join the marches next year online! Please pray for the millions of lives lost to abortion, and have a blessed, and extraordinary day!
