Palms of His Hands

"Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it." ~ William Arthur Ward

• Jul. 20, 2006 - 50 Million Babies - 50 Million Pennies

I have some really neat news to share with you...

 

It's NOT neat that sometime this year this country will have aborted its 50 millionth citizen in utero.  What is neat is the reaction of Mississippi Baptists.

 

We are collecting 50 million pennies.  That's right, 50 million pennies to represent each of those lost babies.  A "Memorial to the Missing" has been erected near the Mississippi Baptist Convention Board to house these pennies and be a silent tribute to our American Holocaust victims.  I took these photos back in May:

 

 

 

 

I read today that the total is now 25,000,000 pennies.

 

One would think this would be big news, but it's not.  As far as I know none of the local papers or television stations have even mentioned this monumental monument.  I thought I'd do my part to spread the news.

 

Click here to read more about the Memorial to the Missing.

 

I'll try to get more photos as we get closer and closer to our goal.
