Looking at what is going on over there lately, that makes two of us sister ... VERY glad. I was just reading about a Pastor who was arrested for praying silently for his aborted son across the street and about a half block away from an abortion clinic. Apparently the thought police are a very real thing in England.

What a sight it must have been! It would have been an incentive which made it clear we had no option other than success.
