I'm a bit confused
There’s this girl who lives on my hall and has a giant poster for Amnesty International. This poster features the face of a baby, with a speech bubble saying “All rights for all people!”
The same person is very much pro-choice, and vehemently opposes any and all regulations to abortion.
Is it just me, or do these views not correspond at all?

Lenten Journal (Tues Feb 28th): Fellowship
Dear Lord,
Oh my goodness, are you working on/in me big time, this week! I mean, I had a good feeling about Lent, but this is incredible.
I don’t even really know how to describe it! I don’t! And it’s incredible! And I’m so happy!
Lord, I know You’re not done, here. I can feel that as much as I can feel the sun on my skin. And I know that this Lent, just like...
Whoah....
Strange how I didn’t notice the changes right away. Good thing I’m awake today, right?
Lenten Journal (Mon Feb 27th): Abstain
Dear Lord,
As you know, I’ve decided to abstain from meat entirely, this Lent. And it’s interesting - it’s teaching me more than I ever thought it would. At the same time that it’s showing me how to take better care of my body, it’s also showing just how much damage I’ve done to it.
Last year was simultaneously the best and worst of my life, so far. I know...

Lenten Journal (Sun Feb 26th): Mama
Dear Lord,
Today I’d like to take the time to thank you for mothers. All mothers.
Lord, You blessed me with a wonderful earthly mother. A strong, kind, intelligent woman who has taught her children how to love unconditionally, and who has led them all to You. She has taught me so much, and I am so very thankful for her. I know that some daughters don’t get along with their mothers,...

I'm so excited!
There’s a group that prays the Rosary together every night on campus! And I just found out last night! Guess where I’ll be going, from now on…. : )

Lenten Journal (Sat Feb 25th): Fathers
Dear Father,
It seems so strange to write this one. I’m not sure who I’m speaking more about - You, or my earthly father - my Daddy, to differentiate as I write. For myself, at least. I know that You know what I mean. Even when I don’t.
Lord, last time I wrote about my sisters, mostly, and I said that my Daddy was my earthly hero. In an effort to thank You for him...
Lenten Journal (Fri Feb 24th): Family
Dear Lord,
Today is my sister’s birthday. She’s turning fourteen. I still remember the day she was born…how could I ever forget it? There have been times, Lord, when I was so impatient, so frustrated, that I’ve wished to be an only child again. But I don’t, I never could. My sisters are such a blessing, God. And such a reminder of time.
When you gave J to us, I was...

Lenten Journal (Thurs Feb 23rd): Fear
Dear Lord,
I think that I’m going to start writing these to You, now, because I don’t want them to be just about me - they necessarily will have to be, since they’re about my journey. But more important than my journey is the fact that my steps will be made with You by my side.
Lord, I’m scared. And to make it worse, I’m scared of myself, and I’m scared of...
