Tuesday, April 27, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood

 Martha & I arrived to the center after Mass downtown.  When we arrived there Sandy, our Tuesday counselor, was there then along came Mary S. & Donna.  It was all females today no males joined us today.  When I arrived to the front lines I saw that the abortionist, Rachel Phelps wasn't there but you aren't going to trust Planned Parenthood, so we were ready to counsel as everyone was going in for an abortion & take it from there, with the power of the Holy Spirit giving discernment.  We set the sidewalk with the graphic & non graphic signs to witness the Truth.  We have had two women, just in the last two days, say that their babies were saved from being aborted by seeing the graphic signs.  Praise God!!  I noticed that the mega phone wasn't working very well so I went into the center to place the batteries.  While I was in the office I heard that Martha was coming in with a client.  I put the batteries in the mega phone & went into the Material Aid Room to meet the new client.  She was a delightful young woman with a beautiful smile.  She was over at Planned Parenthood to get a pregnancy test & was told that she was pregnant & then said to her "are you planning to terminate this pregnancy"?  She abruptly said to her "no, of course not".  Then she left.  She was walking out of Planned Parenthood & was coming around the bushes & Martha & Donna started to talk to her & then Martha brought her into the center for a baby blanket & some more literature & the Growth & Development DVD of the baby in the womb.  She was delighted.  I asked her to fill out the Intake Sheet, so that Suzanne our counselor on Thursdays, could call her & see how she is doing with her pregnancy.  She said that she had to go to catch the bus but that she would fill it out first.  She said "thank you" & we replied "you are very welcome & the very best to you".  What a joy she was, happy to be pregnant, with no plans of destroying the life that is growing inside her.  What a breath of fresh air.

 Martha & I went back outside to pray & to sidewalk counsel.  I noticed a man with a tape measure.  He was working for the city.  The city were fixing the sidewalks last week so they put down new concrete where we stand, so there was no yellow line now.  I went up to him & asked him if he would measure 15 feet form the entrance of the Planned Parenthood's parking lot.  He said that he would & he did.  I went into the center to get a black Sharpie pen to draw a black line instead of a yellow one.  I didn't want Planned Parenthood to measure & to take us further away from the entrance.  Don't trust Planned Parenthood.  I the noticed the old coot neighbor Jim Bovay, who lives across the street looking at us.  He then decided to come over to us & stand right in front of our faces.  I picked up the phone, just in case I had to use it, & told him to go away from us, for he didn't need to be over here & in our faces causing trouble.  He smirked at me & said that it was his sidewalk too.  I said back to him "you are harassing us & you have no right to do that on your sidewalk".  "You're nuts Mary".  This is his usual reply to me. Good bye Jim.  He walked back over to his condo, across the street, & went in & closed the door.  Good boy.  Some people never change, I do hope he does, for he will be surprised when he dies.

 Melody had just arrived to help out in the center.  I gave her my keys & asked her if she would please empty my car, for I had many bags of clothes & things in it, for the Material Aid Room, to be put away.   I told her that Sandy was working, on cleaning the new chairs that we just received, by a generous person.  We are trying to get ready for the first Mass, in the center this year, on this Saturday, May 1st. at 11am.  May is the Blessed Mother's month.   Much to do!!

 Martha & I were now alone on the sidewalk for Mary S. & Donna had to go.  I took the mega phone & went to the fence & saw a young guy coming out of Planned Parenthood.  I told him what is going on in this place of death.  Then between the bashes I saw that he was walking over to Martha & I.  He came around the bushes & sat down on the bench with his cigarette in his mouth.  Comfort weed, so they think. He began to talk, asking why we were bothering these people.  I said to educate them for they are killing little babies in there.  Then he began to say all the wrong things.  He exclaimed that it wasn't a baby it was just an Embryo, with no rights because it isn't a baby, free to dispose of at will.  How sad.  He asked me if I was a foster home child.  I said no but I was a abused home child.  I then said to him that he was saying that unless everything was great for the child he or she should die if it didn't look to good for him or her.  I said then we all should be dead then.  There is no one living that has a perfect life.  He said that his mother had an abortion.  I said that I am sorry for your loss of your brother or sister.  He smirked & said to me that "it was only an Embryo".  Oh brother, how very sad is this case.  I said to him that I was raped & molested & an incest survivor & he got up & left, right away & went back into Planned Parenthood.  See dear man, no one's life is perfect, but life is precious never the less. 

We had many people who gave us a 'good honks' as they passed us by, on the street.  We also had many people stop to receive information & Rosaries to take with them, to grow closer to the dear Lord, who loves them. We had a woman who stopped to talk with us & told us that she had an abortion many years ago & regretted it so very much.  Martha gave her a Post Abortive booklet to take with her to get the help & healing that she needs.  I told her that the priest, Fr. Vinney, that helped her to 'Chose Life' 25 years ago, when she was thinking about having another abortion, was the Pastor of Our Lady of the Americas Church, up the street on East Main St..  She said that she wants to go & thank him for saving her daughter's life, 25 years ago at St. Michael's Church, in the city.  She smiled & off she went up the street a happier person.

    I looked up the street & a young girl was walking towards us.  I walked up to her & asked if we could help her.  She said that she was going to Planned Parenthood for a pregnancy test.  I said to her "come follow me".  I said that we could do a free pregnancy test, in our center, next to this yellow building.  I asked Martha to go with her & off they went into the center.  Martha came back about 5 minutes later & said that Sandy, our counselor, was going to take over.  I went into the center to see if I could help.  She wasn't pregnant, so I gave her some more information that pertained to her situation & Sandy gave her Abstinence counseling.  I went back to the front lines. 

Melody came out a little later & wanted to go over to the brick side of the Planned Parenthood building to use the mega phone & to sing the pro life song that she wrote & recorded to help others.  She did a beautiful job.  The wind was blowing our signs all over the place & it was now about 5pm so we went into the center to do our work in there.  I had to make some phone calls & do some paperwork.  Martha & Melody were working in the Material Aid Room, putting more things away.  I called Pat the grandmother, who fights for the lives of her great grandbabies, from being killed by abortion, & told her that I had her $200 for her that was given by a generous donor.  She said that she was coming over for she had to be careful for she had sprained her ankle.  Oh no!!  Poor Pat.  She came about 10 minutes later to get the money, formula for baby Akira, our little preemie baby who is 15 lbs. now.  She picked up some baby clothes too.  As I was talking to her the doorbell rang.  I walked over to the door & there were 2 familiar people standing there.  I said that we were closed but she insisted to come in to get some things, so I said "okay come on in".  Martha took over & was with them in the Material Aid Room.  They come regularly & usually get quit a few things.    I went back to talk to Pat some more.  She looks tired & we try to help make her load lighter by God's grace.  She was grateful & said that she would be here for the Mass on Saturday morning.  Very good Pat, see you then.  She limped back to the car, with her friend, who came in to help her with the bags of baby clothes & diapers.   

We then got supper ready tonight.  It was just the three of us girls, Martha, Melody & Mary (me).  We had fried eggplant with Rigatoni & a lettuce salad with blue cheese dressing & corn bread.  For desert we had Martha's famous chocolate cake with chocolate frosting  No diets here.  We cleaned up & Melody made up some more Truth packets for the front line ministry & for the center's ministry too.  We went home around 9:30pm.  A day well done, by the grace & love of the Lord, only to be back tomorrow again to 'fight the good fight'.    

I met Anne who had her adopted daughter Mary, from China, with her at Mass today.  They came back with me to the center. As I was pulling in the driveway to the center I noticed that Maria was standing on the brick side of the building of Planned Parenthood holding her sign that read "I REGRET MY ABORTION".  I waved at her & went into the center to show Anne around & to talk with her for awhile.  It was about 12:40pm & I was expecting Martha there around 1pm so I wasn't worried.  Anne said good bye  & then I went to the sidewalk to say to Maria & o tell her that I would be right out but when I turned the corner she wasn't there.  I looked in the parking lot & saw that the abortionist was there for her dark blue car was parked by the back door.  It made me sick & I wanted to get out on the sidewalk as soon as I could.  I went back into the center wondering where Martha was & why did Maria go before her 2 hours were up?  I started to put the food away & went on to make 2 ham sandwiches for Martha & I for lunch.  As I was finished making up the sandwiches the doorbell rang & went to answer it & there was Maria standing there.  I said "what happened Maria where did you go"?  She said that she left to go Subway to get a sandwich.  I said that I was making sandwiches for Martha & I for I didn't have time to make them at home this morning for I was running late for church.  So it made sense to me to eat my sandwich with Maria instead of eating I outside on the front lines.  As I was finishing the sandwich my cell phone rang.  I answered the phone thinking that it was Martha calling to say that she wasn't coming today but it wasn't Martha it was a woman who told me that her friend's daughter was going to have an abortion at Planed Parenthood at 1pm.  What!  It was now 1:20pm, my heart sank & I felt sick.  I asked her why she didn't call me earlier & she said that she just found out & her friend told her to call the Focus Center to intervene.  I said I needed to go & then hung up.  I dropped everything & went out to the sidewalk with the literature box & one sign & the mega phone.  No one was going in so I just hollered to everyone who was in Planned Parenthood already.  I went over to the brick side of the building so I could be closer to the waiting room.  I then saw Martha walking up the sidewalk & used the mega phone to tell her what just happened. She went back into he center to get the Our Lady of Guadeloupe sign & the picture of Jesus holding the aborted baby crying.  The wind was blowing so hard that we couldn't putout any more signs today.  I called out saying that we could help everyone & that abortion was taking a life & that the baby's heartbeat was taking place just 18 to 20 days after conception & so on.  After about an half hour I went back over to be with Martha & told her that I was going into the center to see if Maria was still there.  She said okay & that she would be fine out there alone. I went into the center & saw that Maria was there sitting at the desk folding up our new brochures.  I said "thank you Maria" & spoke with her for a few minutes then left.  She said that got to the sidewalk around 12 noon & stayed until 12:45pm to go to get a sandwich.  I said that there was a good chance that the girl that I got the phone call about saw you holding your sign & went back home, without having an abortion.  That could have happen I said to her.  Maria said that she felt lead to go out to the sidewalk early today.  Praise God!!  I went back outside to be with Martha.  A few minutes later I saw 3 young girls walking up the street going towards Planned Parenthood on the brick side of the building.  Martha flagged them over towards us.  They walked over to us & I lead them to the center to talk to Maria who is African American & so were the girls, so they could relate to one another.  I rang the doorbell to give Maria a heads up & then brought the 3 girls into the center.  Maria brought the girls into the new Rose Room for counseling & a pregnancy test for one of the girls.  I turned on the TV which had a DVD in it that showed the pictures of a baby in the womb.  It is an excellent DVD that Father C. burned for us.  I set up the pregnancy test for Maria & gave the girls the Truth packets, for each of them then left for Maria to counsel.  I went back to the front lines  to be with Martha.  The wind was blowing her away at times.  She said that the sign she was holding blew up the street a ways but she retrieved it.  She also said that she handed out 2 Truth packets to 2 girls that were walking out of Planned Parenthood & spoke to the girls for a short time.  About a half an hour later we saw that the 3 girls were walking up the sidewalk & as they passed us on the sidewalk they said to Martha & I that they wanted to volunteer.  We said that would be great & that we will be on the sidewalk again tomorrow from 1-5pm.  "Okay" they said with smiles on their faces & then walked up the street towards E. Main St., probably to catch the bus.  They were so young.   Great job Maria!!  As we were talking to the girls Maria was driving by & gave us a honk to say good bye.  See you next week my friend. 

The school bus driver passes us by, when we are out there on the front lines & gives us a honk & a wave & so do some of the children on his bus.  It's great to experience the love.  A young woman was coming out of Planned Parenthood & I called over to her from the fence by the bushes.  I noticed that she was coming over to Martha & I, so I told Martha to get ready.  Just then the woman arrived from around the bushes & stopped to talk to us.  The first thing she said was "why are you hollering at these girls most of them are hear for contraceptives".  I then said to her that some contraceptives can cause an early abortion .  I then offered her the Truth packet to which she replied that she was a medical student & she didn't need it.  I then said to her that that was scary for me to hear that a medical student didn't want to learn the truth about something that is pertaining to medicine & that if you become a doctor I don't want you to take of me.  Well how's that for an ear full.  After that scolding she seemed to change her attitude towards what Martha & I were trying to tell her. She then said that it scares the girls when we holler & for us to go into Planned Parenthood to talk to the staff & look around.  Gulp, my stomach turned around inside me.  I then said  Planned Parenthood has tried to sue us that for they are the ones that have put up the bushes & made the Yellow Line, on the sidewalk, for us not to cross over to be able to speak calmly to the people going into Planned Parenthood, to be lied to & deceived & to have their babies killed.  They don't want the girls to know the truth & to get the right kind of help for them.  We have a pregnancy center right next to this yellow building & I pointed over to where we are located & at the center we help our clients with free pregnancy test & counseling, referrals & free baby & children clothes.  We don't kill, they do.  She said that she agreed to that we were doing at the center.  Martha mentioned that abortion is against God's law that says "Thou shall not kill", she also agreed to that statement, for she seemed to know God.  Then the medical student said "I have spoken to Rachel Phelps, who is the abortionist at Planned Parenthood, & she is a nice person & thinks that she is doing good".  I quickly replied saying "no she is not a good person for a good person would not take a life, & that you don't do an evil to bring forth a good, she is greatly misguided & we pray that she will stop killing babies & do good with her degree".  She seemed to understand so much more then she did when she first arrived on the sidewalk.  I then took a chance & re offered her the Truth packet & said to her that it would make me very happy if she took it.  She smiled & reached out her hand to take it.  I got greedy so I offered her the DVD of Growth & Development, in the womb, & included in the case was the Maafa21:Black Genocide in the 21st Century DVD & also our Focus Center brochure & the rubberized 12 week old baby.  She took it all.  WOW!!  Praise God for the grace for her to turn around.  Now she is an educated medical student & I told her that I would not mind being her patient.  She smiled again.  Martha asked her her name & she said it was Julia.  So when she was leaving we both said "good bye Dr. Julia" & she waved as she was leaving the parking lot of Planned Parenthood.  What an experience this was this afternoon. 

   

A car stopped on the street & the woman driver hollered out the window "do you have any of those beads, meaning the Rosary"?  Martha said "yes we do & we have baby clothes too for your baby, so turn around & come follow me".  She turned her car around & followed Martha into the parking lot to the center & then to the Material Aid Room.  She helped them to get some nice things.  One of the young girls then asked for a pregnancy test, so Martha gave her a pregnancy test.  Then the other woman said that she will come back another time to get a pregnancy test.  Martha said "that's fine we will be here".  They both received a Truth packet & some Rosaries & some nice things for the cute little baby girl.  They left saying "thank you" to Martha.  Then Martha came back to the front lines & Tucker had just arrived for his 4-6pm shift.  A few minutes later, a woman with two children, a boy & a girl about 6 & 7 years of age came from behind the bushes.  We approached her & offered a pregnancy test.  She made it sound like that she needed one & we lead her into the center for one.  But once she got to the center she changed her mind & wanted condoms.  Martha told her that we don't hand out condoms & she told her the truth about them.  I came in to the room & heard what they were talking about & then went to the counseling room to get her brochures about condoms, to educate her.  She also picked up a few things for her children then left.  After she left Martha clued me in that she wanted condoms & not the literature talking about them.  Martha educated her the best way she could & she did take the brochures, so we felt that there was a job well done, though she left a bad taste in Martha's mouth, it was probably her attitude.  Hope all goes well for her & that she doesn't have anymore sex outside of marriage, that will affect the lives of her 2 precious children, that she is responsible for.  Martha went back outside to be with Tucker & I went into the Material Aid Room to start to put things away, that I had in my car, from the second hand store that dropped them off in my garage to bring to the center for our clients.  It was mostly baby & children clothes.  Martha & I re-arranged the shelves & straightened up the room to make it look attractive for our clients.  I was overwhelmed so I went outside to ask Martha to come in to help me. Tucker said that he was fine out here by himself witnessing & praying for the end to abortion.  Martha & I worked for awhile then stopped to eat & then resumed our work until about 9pm then left to go home.  What a day!!

Thursday, April 29, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood

The abortionist was there at Planned Parenthood & so was the Death Escort, how sad.  Martha & I & Bill who witnesses across the street, were all ready, by the grace of God, to fight the good fight.  We sent up the sidewalk with graphic signs, to witness the Truth, & to help people change their lives.  A young girl came over to us & Martha brought her to the Material Aid Room for baby clothes.  The mom was a happy woman after she was blessed with many nice things.  Martha came back out on the sidewalk, to be with me, who was sidewalk counseling.  The cars, diving by were mostly nice, giving us a good honk & waiving to us. I think that we give some people a good feeling that someone cares to help the victims of Planned Parenthood.  We were giving people Rosaries, on the sidewalk, as they passed by us & we heard their stories, which some of them were painful to hear.  We would then give them literature that could help them to heal.  Just then Suzanne had arrived at the center which is always a good thing.  Now we just have to ring the doorbell & she will answer & take it from there, so that Martha & I can go back to the sidewalk, to help more people that are lied to, by Planned Parenthood.  About 20 minutes later Melody showed up to help out in the Material Aid Room & to make up some Truth packets that we need.  She loves to make up these packets.  In the meantime, Suzanne our Thursday counselor, started to call our clients, that are going to deliver & that have delivered, to see how they are doing, & to see if we can help them in any way. What a blessing she is to us.  We found out that one of our clients, needs a double stroller for her two small children, who chose life last year.  So now we try to see if we can get that for her, by asking our generous email list of people, if they could help us.  They usually come through.  What a blessing they are to our ministry.  Team work!! 

Martha & I ate a quick peanut butter sandwich & I went over to Mack's, who has the T shirt store next store to our center, to get Martha a cup of hot coffee.  She likes her coffee.  We try not to eat on the front lines but really have to in order to keep on going.  We try to be discreet.  Jerry showed up to pray on the brick side of the building.  He usually prays on his knees.  Then the Death Escort Sylvia Rose comes into the parking lot of Planned Parenthood, my heart drops.  She is one of the oldest & deadest Death Escorts that come out in front of Planned Parenthood to escort the victims into this 'Hell Hole' to ruin their lives.

 I went back into the center to see how things were going with Melody & Suzanne & to see if they needed any help or question answered.  All was fine in the center.  I went back outside to sidewalk counsel & Martha & Jerry were saying the Rosary.  It was 3pm & this is the Hour of Divine Mercy.  So we all gathered together to say the Chaplet of Divine Mercy prayers.  The prayers last about 10 minutes & are so very powerful.  After the prayers Bill left.  I decided to bring out the radio & to listen to the CD of Christian music.  I played it loudly, for I wanted people to hear the words of the songs.  If someone calls the police I will then turn it down, not until.  I spoke to some young guys that were waiting in their cars, which always makes me  feel uncomfortable, for maybe their girlfriends are in there having an abortion. 

Suzanne came out to say good bye & told me a few things before leaving.  Martha & I stayed about an hour later & it was around 5pm & we started to bring the signs & things back into the center.  When Martha came back she told me that a jubilant mother came to the Focus Pregnancy Help Center, just now, telling Martha that her 9 month baby girl was saved from being aborted last year & that she wanted us to know that she had her baby & didn't go through with the abortion & wanted to thank Martha & I.  Back in 2009, she was going into Planned Parenthood for an abortion, & was stopped by us on the sidewalk, & we talked her out of going in to have her baby killed.  We also brought her into the Focus Center to further assist her that day.  She came to tell us with a big smile on her face & to pick up some formula for her baby Jayla, who was born last August, through the grace of God.  PRAISE GOD THAT THIS MOTHER 'CHOSE LIFE' !!  I thought that you would like to know & rejoice in this great news along with us.  I was happy to hear this terrific news, when Martha came back to the sidewalk, I only wish that I could have talked to this young girl too.  She knows where we are to help little Jayla with baby clothes & some other things too.  What a blessing!! 

Just then the abortionist, Rachael Phelps, was leaving.  I felt a big pit in my stomach.  I called out to her to stop killing babies, that she could get help from the Centurions, a group of former abortionist that have repented & stopped doing abortions.  She just looked over at me with a blank look on her face & drove away, down the street.  Please Lord change her heart & mind & that she will stop killing your children.  Amen

 

Martha & I & Melody were now in the center working on many things & after awhile we all sat down to a fine supper & conversation.  What are friends for :)

 Saturday, May 1, 2010 at the Focus Pregnancy Help Center

Fr. Paul Gitau, Parochial Administrator at the Immaculate Conception Church celebrated the Mass at the Focus Pregnancy Help Center this morning at 11am.  It was well attended & was so beautiful a celebration.  Father gave a beautiful homily on pro life issues & the effects of abortion on to mother.  Pat, our grandmother of four & great grandmother of two babies, gave her testimony after Mass.  People came up to her after Mass to offer her assistance & one woman interviewed her for an article in her local newspaper, where she has done human interests stories before.  It was so good to see Jose, for I haven't seen him in awhile, he is on the Board of Focus, but he is busy going to school plus working full time & being a husband & father. I'm tired just writing this all out.  It was good to catch up with some of the people I haven't seen in awhile.

 The pizza man was late so people were eating desert first which was blueberry pie, spice cake with cream cheese frosting, pina colada cake, chocolate cupcakes & of course brownies.  Yummy!  Finally the pizza & wings came & the delivery man said that he was stopped by the police, I guess for speeding.  I hope it wasn't because of our pizza.  They knocked $3.00 off the price, which was a deal.  The pizza & wings were a hit, thank God.  Worth waiting for.  Martha had made her famous macaroni salad & that tied us over too, before the pizza came.  Anne had brought us a fairly new computer given to us by my former boss which is her husband.  They will deliver us a refrigerator this coming week for the center.  How nice of the Orlando's.  We were blessed with a good monetary collection for the work of the center.  We are blessed with generous people to help us.  The  Landlord came by for the rent & I asked him if I could get a $30 reduction for buying the paint, for the counseling room.  He said "yes".  Thank you Lord for melting his heart.  There was great conversation & a happy time, in the love, of friends.  I showed the people the new Rose Room & they all loved it.  After everyone had left & there was only Martha & Pat & I left, I took some time to talk to Pat.  Martha then went into the bathroom & was there for awhile when Pat had said loudly to Martha if she was okay.  Martha replied "no".  I went to the door of the bathroom & Martha came out.  She said that she was very dizzy & had vomited.  Oh no!  She went & sat on the sofa to get her barrens & Pat & I tried to comfort her.  She finally said that she was feeling better but needed to go home.  I understand poor Martha.  After she left I again sat down to talk to Pat again & then I gave her some things, for her two great grandbabies, given to Pat from Anne.  It was diapers & formula.  I gave Pat all the leftover deserts to take home to her family, which I know they would enjoy, especially her grandson Aaron, who is a growing boy.  After Pat had left, my friend in the Taxi company, which is located in the room next to the office, & asked me if he could help me.  I quickly said "yes".  He put back the chairs & vacuumed & washed the dishes.  I said that I would wash the dishes & he said "I know how to wash dishes".  Tickabu, do you have a brother?  The Taxi company is owned by nice people from Ethiopia.  What a blessing they are to us.  What a beautiful morning & afternoon, in the Lord.  Hope that you feel better dear Martha.  Off I went for the 4:30pm Mass.  I went back after Mass to do some more things at the center & then I went over to my friends house, to babysit.

Monday, May 3, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood

I'm not usually there, on the front lines in front of Planned Parenthood, but God had another plan today.  I got an email the night before that a young woman was scheduled to have an abortion at 10:30am so my plan was to be out on the sidewalk to try to talk with her & everybody else going into Planned Parenthood, this morning.  When I awoke this morning I went to my computer at home & saw that there was a message regarding this young girl. She was now scheduled, for an abortion, at an abortion facility in Bativia, which I wasn't aware taht there was one there.  My prayers went to God & so did all the fantastic people that I had emailed yesterday to pray for her & all women & girls doing for abortions, that their hearts & minds would be changed by Almighty God's grace. 

 I had made an appointment for Chris, my friend from the place that I used to work for, to come to the center to install our new computer that was given to us by my former boss.

 

When I arrived to the center & quickly went over to see if the abortionist was there, she was not.  I breathed a sign of relief.  I went into the center to wait for Chris, opening all the rooms to the center but then decided to go out to the front lines to witness.  First I spoke to a young girl driving out of the parking lot telling her what Planned Parenthood does to little babies.  She said that she wasn't here for that she was here for Birth Control.  I told her quickly what Birth Control can do to her & her baby if a child was fertilized.  She acknowledged my remarks & then sped away.  I then told the next car driving out of the parking lot what this place does to babies.  I then went back into the center to get a bag of Truth packets & the rubberized babies at 12 weeks, some DVD's, a graphic sign, the mega phone & then went back outside.  

Then I saw a young Black girl walking down the sidewalk on the brick side of the building so I tried to flag her over to me who was on the side where the bushes are.  I offered her the Truth packet & she said something but it was hard to hear from that distance.  Just then I heard a honk & looked over to see that it was Maria, who is an African American counselor at the Focus Center, she comes once in awhile but when she does it's powerful.  I waved back to her wishing that she would stop to help me.  My prayers got answered real fast.  There she was turning around & parking at the brick side of Planned Parenthood where this girl was standing.  I went over to greet her & to give her a heads up on the situation.  Maria approached the girl to tell her that abortion was wrong.  She said to Maria & I  "I've got a child & I have had an abortion & if I get pregnant again I would abort that baby too".  So also said that  if her young sister ever gets pregnant she would kick her stomach in.  Oh so rough & tough.  It sounds horrible, which it is, but you really know that she is in so much pain from her past abortion & she is lashing out.  I handed her a Truth packet which she took & then I  was planning to go back into the center, to wait for Chris to set up our new computer, so I was going to leave her to talk with Maria, for Maria is post abortive x2 & she would be able to counsel her, in getting the help that she really needs.  She holds her sign, on the sidewalk, that reads "I REGRET MY ABORTIONS".  It is powerful message for people to see & hopefully change their minds if they were planning on killing their babies. 

But just before I was to go back into the center a man got out of his car & approached us on the sidewalk.  He handed me a picture of a man & a woman smiling & two children, both girls, on their laps smiling.  He then went on to tell me the story.  The mother was pregnant & the tests indicated that she was carrying a baby with dwarfism.  The doctors in England wanted her to abort her precious daughter & she couldn't find a doctor that would take her pregnancy on without suggesting for her to have an abortion until she finally found a good doctor that cared for her during her pregnancy, that didn't suggest for her to have an abortion.  The grandfather of this wonderful family wanted me to have this precious picture to witness to people that are abortion minded.  The man walked back to his car & said to me that it was hard for him to let go of that picture.  I said that I would take care of it always & that it will save many lives.  What a wonderful man & his family, who are such a blessing.  Thank you Lord for this precious child that you gave this loving family.  It was God's perfect gift.

I went into the center to give instruction to Chris, my IT friend, who was going to set up the new computer for me.  It was so good to see him, for it's been awhile.   He looks good & got a new job & will start next week.  Good for you Chris.  After I answered all his questions & we got reacquainted again I left to go back outside to be with Maria who was alone on the front lines, which isn't good.  When I got back to her we saw that a young man was walking out of Planned Parenthood towards us who were at the brick side of the building.  We offered him information & he came over to talk to us.  He said that his girlfriend was in there for a pregnancy test & wanted a baby & they didn't believe in abortion.  I told him that Planned Parenthood does & if she's pregnant they will offer her to terminate, which means to kill your baby.  I said that we at the Focus Center do free pregnancy tests & that we were located right next to this big yellow building.  I gave a Truth packet & told him not to give it to anyone in there if they ask to take it.  He said "thank you & no I won't give it to anyone & I'm going back in there to talk to my girlfriend".  Maria & I said "okay, we are here for you & your girlfriend".  Then he walked back into Planned Parenthood.  Two young girls were walking into Planned Parenthood & we tried to speak to them but they wouldn't stop to talk to us.  How sad.  After about 10 minutes I told Maria that I had to go back into the center to check on Chris & she said that's fine.  When I got back into the office Chris was transferring the files on to the new computer.  I went next store to Mack's to get Chris a cup of coffee.  I placed it on the desk, for Chris, when the doorbell rang. 

I went to the door to see that it was that young man & he was with a young girl.  I opened the door & he said that she needed a pregnancy test.  I looked at her & she said "I need a pregnancy test & if it's positive I want an abortion".  I was in shock, for I thought he told me that his girlfriend wasn't abortion minded but wanted a baby?  I looked at her & said "oh no you don't want to have your baby killed, lets do a pregnancy test".  Then the young man said that he needed to get back to his girlfriend who's still in Planned Parenthood.  I looked puzzled & said "isn't this young lady your girlfriend'?  He said "no she was just in the waiting room over there & I told her to come over here to get a pregnancy test & she came".  Oh!!  Off he goes & then I take this young girl into the Rose Room.  She did the pregnancy test & it was negative & she quickly said that she really wasn't going to have an abortion if it was positive".  Thank God that we will never really know.  I gave her our DVD & literature packet & added more information for her.  Then I gave her a doctors list & she chose one of the doctors, to see that afternoon, to get testing for STD's.  She got an early afternoon appointment & was very grateful for the assistance & said thank you & gave me a big smile.  It was my pleasure to help her & if she need my help again please either call or email me or stop by again the hours are on the door.  Off she went & I felt good.  I peaked my head in the office to see how Chris was doing & then cleaned up the Rose Room.  A few minutes later the doorbell rang & it was this nice young man again with another young girl, boy can he recruit!  This time it was his girlfriend.  She wanted to repeat the pregnancy test which she did & then I gave her a Truth packet & more literature & our DVD.  I counseled her for a few minutes & answered her questions.  The young man wasn't in the room he went back outside.  About 10 minutes later the doorbell rang & it was this same man, I though to pick up his girlfriend, but first he said to me that he had talked to a girl who was at Planned Parenthood & was going to have an abortion this week, her mother was making her, & she was crying.  He said that she was walking up Gibbs St. probably to get a bus on Main St.., I walked over to see that she was so far away, for me to reach her, so I said to this 'White Knight' "go run & give her this package of information & save her baby"!!  He did, he ran like the wind & he caught up with her to talk to her & to give her the packet of information. It also had the rubberized 12 week old baby & the growth & development chart on the back of the card, in the literature bag.  He came back into the center about 5 minutes later saying that he wanted to work for me.  I said "you have a job".  He smiled.  He joined his girlfriend in the Rose Room & I went back in & spoke with them for a few more minutes & then we all said good bye.  I thanked him again for all that he did this morning in 'saving lives'.  I think that he felt real good about himself too.  Thank you Lord!!  What a morning & I never come on Monday mornings, maybe I should. 

After they left I peaked my head outside to see if Maria was okay & she waved at me indicating that she was fine so I went back into the center to see how Chris was doing.  He also was doing fine & was please with our new gift from our former boss, Matt.  I wanted to go to go to Mass at 12:10pm & it was now about 11:45am when the doorbell rang.  I went to the door to see a woman standing there.  I opened the door & said 'hello, can I help you"?  She answered back to me "the lady outside said that you do free pregnancy tests & I would like one".  I replied "yes, come follow me".  I led her to the Rose Room & she filled out the Intake Sheet, like all the clients do, & I got the test ready for her to take.  She did & she was negative so I spent a few minutes teaching her abstinence & chastity & gave her specific pieces of literature to read that would help you to achieve her goal.  I also gave her the Truth packet with has a Rosary in every packet.  She thanked me & off she went.  I said good bye to Chris & thanked him & gave him a big hug & off I went to Mass.  As I was leaving I waved good bye to Maria up the street.  She said earlier that she will be back next month to counsel in the center & to be out on the street to witness.  Great Maria, we'll miss you.  What a morning, in less than 3 hours, I gave 3 pregnancy tests & counseled & gave away a lot of literature & I believe, in my heart, one life saved, through the grace of God.  Yeah!!  I need to descern if the Lord wants me or someone else to be there, on the sidewalk in front of Planed Parenthood, on Monday mornings?  My goal, which is my prayer, is to have someone there, all the times that Planned Parenthood is open, from 7:30am to 7pm, Monday through Friday.  Please Lord please sent in your troops!!

Tuesday, May 4, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood

Martha, John, Jerry & I got to the center after Mass & Sandy was already there waiting to be let in.  I asked her if she could get the things, that were in my car that needed to be sorted out, in the Material Aid Room.  I gave her my car keys after I opened up all the rooms in the center.  Martha & John were getting the sign & mega phone & signs to take to the front lines to witness.  I was planning to join them but I never was able to get out to the front lines until about 3:30pm for I & Sandy & later on Melody, when she arrived, were keep very busy, in the center today. 

 

I saw that a woman had walked into the center from outside, for we have a landlord that won't fix anything, so the door doesn't catch behind anyone who is leaving unless they shut the door tight which they usually don't.  So anyone can walk in at in any time.  I saw that she was heading to the Material Aid Room so I figured that she had been here before. I put what I was doing down & went into the room to assist her.  She said that she needed something for her young child & I said "sure, get what you need".  She then said that her baby was saved from being aborted through this ministry.  A man with a beard had spoken to her, last year on the sidewalk, when she was headed to Planned Parenthood for an abortion.  He told her that she was carrying a baby & not a clump of tissue & that abortion was taking a life created by God.  She said that he gave her information & helped her a great deal.  She was convicted & went back home & had her baby when it was time to deliver.  She was so very grateful to him, for she loves her baby so much. Then she said that her adoptive niece was 13 years old & is pregnant & the guy was 26 years old & that she wanted to get an abortion.  I said that we could help her & she said that she wants to bring her into the center to talk to me.  I said bring her in anytime & then gave her lots of information & our DVD & then the Bella DVD to take with her.  I suggested to her that she calls the police about this situation so that they could catch this guy & prosecute him for statuary rape of a minor.  She said that she will consider it for she didn't want to drive her for an abortion for she was protective of this older man.  I said that we would support her in any way that we can. She said "thank you'.  She was done shopping & requested a highchair for her child.  I told her that I would try, to the best of my ability, to get one for her. I felt so happy that she 'chose life' last year but was worried that her niece might not.  I will be happy to help her. 

My intention was to go outside to join the others but that just didn't happen. The doorbell rang & it was Donna, she needed to get something's in the room to take outside.  I talked with her for a few minutes & then she left to go outside to join the others.  I know that Mary S. usually arrives around 1pm & prayers on the sidewalk until 2pm when she has to go back to work.  I didn't see her yet so I assumed that she was out on the front lines & that she didn't need to come in for anything.  I was happy to know that there were 5 pro lifers outside praying & witnessing the Truth to the people. 

I heard Martha's voice & then went into the hallway to see that Martha was bringing someone into the Material Aid Room.  I told her that I would take over so she could go back outside to be with the others.  I led the young woman into the room to get some thing for her baby.  She was delighted to see so many nice things & I told her to take what she needed.  She was thrilled.  Her child was so cute so I kept my eye on her so her mom could shop without worrying.  Sandy was busy in the office making up some new packets for the team outside so that they would have enough to pass out. 

After the mom left I was thinking of going outside to be with the others when the doorbell rang.  I walked over to the door to see that Donna was there with a young girl & a young child & another young girl.  I opened the door & Donna said to me, & I almost dropped over, that this young girl wanted an abortion & if I could talk to her.  Please Lord let me say the right things to save this precious baby's life.  I introduced myself to her & led her into the Rose Room.  I asked the other young girl, who I found out quickly that was her sister, if she could watch this young child while I spoke with this young lady.  She said that she would.  I brought her into the Rose Room praying all the way down the hall t say the right things.  I closed the door & began to speak.  I showed her the DVD of Growth & Development that we play on the DVD in the Rose Room to educate.  Then I showed her pictures of abortion & the aborted babies that lost their lives through this total rejection of their mothers.  She was surprised to learn so much.  She said that Planned Parenthood was not going to use the RU 486 pills but the Suction Abortion procedure.  I showed her a picture of what would happen to the baby with this procedure.  She was appalled at such a sight.  I gave her a Truth packet & also some other pieces of literature & also the cherry on top I gave her the Bella movie to take with her to watch.  I called Compass Care to make an appointment for her to get a free ultrasound of her baby.  She was smiling & so was I.  I opened the door to find her boyfriend in the hallway along with her sister & her baby & her grandmother.  I spoke to them all & encouraged them to be supportive of her.  They agreed.  Thank you for the grace dear Lord to change hearts & minds.  As they were leaving I again reminded them to watch the movie Bella.  All their worries can change in a flash but you can't put the baby back again once you've torn him or her apart.  Life changes so trust in the Lord who loves you.  For the Bible says that "He careth for you".  I was so happy that they were driving to go home & not to Planned Parenthood to kill.  Donna told me later that as they passed her on the sidewalk she hollered out her window that she changed her mind & chose life.  Thank you Lord & Praise you!  I took a deep breathe & walked back into the office to see how Sandy was coming with the packets.  She had made up quite a few so I said that I would go out to give them to the warriors on the sidewalk.  I walked over to the pro lifers when Martha told me that they had to call the police on someone who came into the parking lot of Planned Parenthood hollering "I'm going to kill & there's nothing you can say or do to change my mind".  Lord have Mercy.  The girl & guy came over to John & got into his face & took a packet then throw it at him.  Mary S. called the police & four police cars came to talk to the kid who was outside standing by his car smoking a cigarette. 

This is Mary S.'s report on the incident, that she emailed me later on: 

 

I went straight to the sidewalk as  I parked in the street today and the signs were out thanks to John, Donna, Jerry and Martha. I just wanted to let you know that I called the police today because of the excitement surrounding John.  He was using free speech and a group was angry and started cursing.  It went back and forth a little then a woman got really hot and got in his face pointing her finger.  I was actually on the other side of the building today but saw the whole thing develop, Jerry was across the street facing the PP exit (all could see his sign and crucifix) they saw us all left, right and center and there was  a lot of traffic.  Anyway, back to John.  The woman started to get physical and touched John, jabbing and finally throwing the packet into the street. Two other women came over and finally with the commotion (caused by them) the young man came tearing around the corner but it did not appear that he touched John. Since there were four of them and I did not know how bad it would get,  I called 911. The young man glanced at me and I felt he knew what I was doing. I calmly asked the operator for a police drive-by as I explained that  a Planned Parenthood patron was getting physical with a protester on the street. Two police cars came and went directly into the parking lot. No one came over to any of us.  Believe it or not, three more cops showed up, all going in to the parking lot. We all kept back to a legal position so I don't know if the police spoke to anyone ( maybe Jerry knows)?  No they didn't I found out later. They left and then I had to leave. When I left, John was still in the center probably having told you ( Mary) what happened. I told Martha that I was concerned about when the group leaves that they might get crazy again and the police had left. I just wanted you to know and I pray that all protesters stay safe. I have to say John sure kept his composure and it helped that Martha had sprinkled blessed salt on the sidewalk where he stood.

I looked over by the fence to see if the abortionist was there but I didn't see her dark blue car.  Instead there was a tan car parked there.  I knew that the client, I just spoke with, was going in for an abortion until Donna offered her sister a Truth packet & a rubberized 12 week old baby, which witnessed to her & this guy, who Mary S. called the police on, was there too.  The abortionist had a 'killer substitute' today.  How sad, how evil.  I took the graphic sign & went over to the fence & offered them help & then said that Planned Parenthood were bullies that they kill innocent, voiceless babies that can't defend themselves & that they were bullies.  They just looked over at me not saying a word.  Just then a young woman was coming out of Planned Parenthood with her young child & went over to the woman, who was leaning against her car smoking.  I called over to her offering her some free children's clothes.  She spoke with the woman for a few minutes then walked around the bushes to where we all were standing.  I again offered her some free clothes for her child & said "come follow me", which she did.  I was back in the center again.  I introduced myself to her & led her to the Material Aid Room for some nice things to take home with her.  She seemed delighted.  I asked her why she was there & she told me it was for birth control, needless to say we had a good talk & I gave her a Truth packet & other pieces of literature to take with her.  She was grateful to learn the Truth which most people are.  She said "thank you & good bye" & I said to her that if she needed anything else please come on back.  "Okay" she said  & off she went with her adorable little child.  How rewarding it is to help someone change their lives, through the grace of God.   

The doorbell rang & it was the two ladies from St. Jerome's Church, in East Rochester, dropping off all the baby clothes & items that they collected over the past 2 weekends, at all the Masses, for the month of May 'Baby Shower'.  We were blessed with so many nice things & some monetary gifts too.  It was such a surprise to me.  I gave them a tour of the our center & they were impressed with the rooms & how we functioned in each one, to service our clients with the best possible care that we can give them.  I gave them our new brochure, which they thanked me for.  I said thank you again & that I would be writing a thank you note soon.  They smiled & then said "good bye" & left.  What a blessing this was for our clients, some brand new things for their children.  Yeah :)

I could no sooner get my lunch, down my throat into my stomach, that the doorbell rang again & it was Tracy & Nancy, from Bella Hero. They had just arrived from California. They are the two presenters of the Bella Hero night tonight at the Woman's Care Center.  Sarah Elizabeth & myself brought them in to speak about the witnessing power, in saving lives, of this movie.  I gave away 2 of the Bella DVD's just today.  I was not aware that Tracy was vision impaired, for I had just communicated with her, on the phone, so I was set back a little.  I prayed that I would say the right thing.  I introduced myself to them & then they wanted to take the tour, which I obliged.  Tracy other senses are quite sensitive.  They both where so warm & loving & it was an honor to have met them.  They wanted to meet me first & to see the center then go to the hotel to relax before the lecture tonight.  I said goodbye to them & told them that I & all of us will be there later to hear this marvelous lecture.  They said good bye & off they went to the hotel for a quick shower & some relaxation,before tonight. How nice they were & what a joy to have met them.

Melody just arrived & I assigned her to the Material Aid Room, to put some of the new things away, that we just received from our generous donators.  She was happy to do it.  Sandy was finishing up making the Truth packet for the counselor outside, so I took another trip outside to give it to them.  It was around 3pm & they were praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet.  I waited for them to finish because I came when they were almost done, & gave them the rest of the packets.  I asked Martha if she wanted any coffee & she said that she did, so I went over to Mack's store, which is next to our center, to get her a cup. He gives me a discount.  John, Jerry & Donna don't drink coffee.  When I came back Donna told me that she was going out of town next week & wouldn't be there but will be back the following week.  I said okay & that we would surely miss her.  I thanked her for the diapers & wipes, that she brought in for the Material Aid Room, & mustered up some nerve, asking her if she would order some more 12 week old rubberized babies,that we use to witness to others.  She said "no problem & she was glad to do it".  WOW, what generosity, for these little babies cost a lot, but are such a powerful witness to our girls & guys.  It's a great teaching aid in saving lives.  Donna had to leave & Jerry went over to the brick side of the Planned Parenthood building to pray some more.  I asked John, if the nasty people that gave him such a hard time had gone, & he told me that they had left.  I was glad, I only hope & pray that they didn't kill their precious child. 

Martha told me that a middle aged woman was walking by & stopped to talk to Martha.  She said that she had taken the bus from Greece to go to Assemblyman David Gantt's office, to speak to him, in regards to more bus lines to Greece.  She said to Martha that she was a twin & that she didn't believe in abortion. She said that it was difficult in getting to the city from Greece, with her health problems, & she & others needed the bus situation to change & so she got a petition that she wanted to give to Mr.Gantt.  Just then a car was driving into Planned Parenthood & she  called over to the driver that this was a slaughter house & for her not to go in.  The girl just looked at her  but seemed like she was deeply touched by her statement, Martha said to me.  She just kept on saying that this was a slaughter house.  How right you are dear lady.  I hope that Mr. Gantt can help you & please tell him, when you see him, that Planned Parenthood is a slaughter house & to do something about it.  Wishful thinking on my part but one can only dream.  Martha invited her back to come out on the front lines with us & she said that she would when she has more time.  We'll see.

It was around 4:30pm & I reminded everyone that we needed to come in & to eat supper & to get ready to go to the Women's Care Center, for the Bella Hero talk at 6pm.  They gathered up everything & went in for supper.  We had supper & left to go the lecture at 5:30pm we all arrived at 6pm.  I was well attended & it was a blessing of an evening.  Terri, the material aid person, blessed our center with a car seat & 2 bases & baby formula & diapers etc., how nice is that.  The talk was very interesting & then we saw the movie.  Anne cried at the end, how could you not. 

We asked questions about the star of the movie who has sidewalk counseled & has saved lives through the grace of God. Check out: 'Bella' Movie Star, Eduardo Verastegui, Saved Real Baby While Researching Film.  http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2007/dec/07121004.html. 

The day was full & eventful, Praise God for His goodness & grace, for His children both big & small. It was late & time to go home.  We all said thank you to both Tracy & Nancy & wished them a safe trip back home.  I also thanked Thersa & Sarah Elizabeth, for hosting this wonderful evening. 

Some things just will stay with you for a long time & this evening will surely last, for a very long time, in my heart.

Wednesday, May 5, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood

It was just Martha & I until 4pm & then Tucker came to pray & witness, on the sidewalk, in front of Planned Parenthood.  Martha & I worked in the center & on the sidewalk, to assist anyone, who needed our help. 

Martha brought in a very sweet woman into the Material Aid Room to get some things for her niece at home.  I told Martha that I would stay to help her, so Martha went back on to the sidewalk, to pray & to counsel & to witness.  This young woman was so very nice & you could see it in her eyes too.  I asked her what she was doing at Planned Parenthood in a gentle, non condemning way.  She answered me by saying that she was there for the birth control pills.  I then began to educate her & to give her some information on the Pill & it's effects on her baby, if she got pregnant, which could happen on the Pill & then the embryo is discarded through menstruation, & on her own body.  She never knew this before & was open to the Truth.  She was engaged but I told her that she was not married yet & for her & her finance' to wait until they made their vows to each other in the presence of God & man.  She agreed that would be fine & a good idea too.  I said to her to ask the dear Lord to forgive her for having sex before marriage & taking the birth control pills for 2 years.  She said that she would.  I told her that God is a forgiving God & He is merciful too.  She agreed, with a big smile on her sweet face.  She looked around for some things for her niece & found some nice things & took some children books on the Bible.  She was happy to get the information that I gave her & some great things to take home to her niece.  She gave me a hug & went out the door after saying "thank you so very much".  The pleasure was all mine.  She was a breathe of fresh air.   

I went back outside to be with Martha & she was praying the Rosary.  A few minutes later car was pulling out of Planned Parenthood & I told the girls what this place was all about.  The driver of the car said that she was pregnant.  I said to her that we have a pregnancy center, next to this yellow building & to come follow mw into the center to get some baby things.  They pulled out of the driveway & entered the strip mall parking lot & got out of the car & followed me into the center.  I brought them into the Material Aid Room to get some yellow & green things for the baby, not knowing it she was pregnant with a boy or a girl baby.  She was happy to see so many nice things to pick from.  After that I brought the young girl & her girlfriend into the Rose Room to educate them with our literature packets & our DVD's & our little 12 week old rubberized baby & the growth & development chart with it.  They were amazed at the stages of development in the womb.  They were from Corning, New York, so they asked me if I knew of any Pregnancy Resource Centers, in the Southern Tier.  I told her that I would check into that, & I will call her back with the information, to better assist her in her own area.  I asked her how she happened to be at Planned Parenthood.  She said that a she is pro life but a friend recommended Planned Parenthood to her.  She said that she would never go back there again.  After her pregnancy test they said to her "do you want to terminate"?  This comment made her feel sick.  I don't blame you for that dear one.  She said that she was engaged & her finance' would have no problem with her pregnancy & they will be getting married this July.  Yeah!!  I asked her to tell her friend not to recommend Planned Parenthood to anyone else in the future.  She said that she would tell her.  "Thank you" I said.  They took all the information that I gave them & they left to drive the long drive back to Corning.  Suzanne, our Thursday afternoon counselor, will keep tabs on her to see how she is doing.

  I went back outside to be with Martha.  It was late & there was so much to do in the Material Aid Room, for my car was filled with things that were given me, by the second hand store in East Rochester.  So we had to unload the car & put all these things away.  So I helped Martha to put the things away from the sidewalk & we had a quick supper & off we were to do our work in the Material Aid Room.  We always have the radio on in the Rose Room & it's set to our Catholic station The Station of the Cross 1460 AM.  They were doing there annual fund raising campaign.  Martha had a great idea, inspired by the Holy Spirit.  She said "why don't we called the station & donate a gift to the work of the radio station".  I said "yes that sounds like a good idea lets donate $25".  She said "that's great & I'll call".  So she got the phone number & called.  We wanted to challenge other Pregnancy Centers to call in & all pro lifers too.  About 10 minutes later we were on the radio.  They said that the Focus Pregnancy Help Center wants to challenge  all pro lifers to call in & to donate to the work of the station.  Yeah!  We were able to help them & they were able to help us.  More people now know that we are here on University Ave.  What a blessing.  Martha & I went back to work in the center & left around 8pm.

Thursday May 6, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood

 

After Mass, Martha & I went over to the center.  We were starting to put the things out on the sidewalk when Tony showed up to get his chairs that he let us borrow for our Mass in the center on May 1st.  Martha went to help Tony & I went outside to set up & to counsel.  A young girl was walking around the bushes & she stopped to talk to me.  I offered her some more assistance in the center.  I noticed that Tim was parked across the street to pray, so I asked him if he could step out of his van to watch our things for a few minutes.  He said that he would & came out of the van & walked over to the sidewalk to make sure that no one would come by & steal anything.  I walked this young lady over to the center.  When we got there Martha & Tony were coming out so I said that Tim was there on the sidewalk witnessing.  They said "okay" & off they went to be with him.  I brought the client into the center to minister to her needs.   did a pregnancy test & counseled her & gave her our Truth packet.  She was receptive of the truth. 

 

I went back outside to join the troops.  A few minutes later John arrived & he started to pray & to witness.  A car drove into Planned Parenthood & John spoke with her.  She was there to learn more about Teen Pregnancies.  John gave her a Truth packet & a DVD.  She took it with a smile.  I was hoping that afterwards she would come over to the center to talk to Suzanne, our Thursday counselor who had just arrived, but she didn't.  I saw her talking to the 2 Death Escorts, Sylvia Rose & Barry Swan, the worst of the Death Escorts, for they have been out in front of Planned Parenthood, destroying lives, for so many years.  They are relentless.  I was sad, as she was driving out about 20 minutes later, talking on her cell phone going down the street.  At least she got something from us. 

Just then Jerry & Charles came & they got some signs & went to the brick side of the building.  They go over there to pray & to witness.  About 30 minutes later & I saw that the RTS bus had stopped & the bus driver got out & walked across the street to Jerry & Charles.  I picked up a Truth packet & went across the street & then back to the sidewalk to talk to him & five him the packet of information.  When I arrived to the spot I said to the bus driver "can I help you".  He said "I've know this guy, pointing to Jerry, all my life we were kids together growing up in the same neighborhood".  I said "wow, that's great".  Jerry had a smirk on his face & kept on praying the Rosary.  I said "good bye" & went back over to the other side of the sidewalk to be with the others.  The bus driver stayed to talk to Jerry for a few minutes & then left.

 

A car was coming out of Planned Parenthood & the young guy sitting in the back was obnoxious.  He said something to Martha & I that I cannot repeat on this page.  I just said to him "may God have Mercy on you", he responded back to me something.  The two girls, in the front seat, were laughing as they drove away.  You won't be laughing for long with this guy in your lives.  Please girls do better!  It's sad to see lives turned upside down for 'free love' that's not 'free' nor 'love'.  What you do in your teens & twenties you will regret in your thirties & forties, for sure.  

 

Jane't had just arrived for our Workshop so we started to pack up & go in to be with her, it was around 4:30pm.  After the meeting  Martha, John & I ate supper together & to do some work in the center.  Martha had to go & John & I stayed until 11pm writing letter to the different parishes asking for tithing money for the work of the center.  Long but fruitful day.

Tuesday, May 11, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood

 My head is spinning.  I don't even know, if I can even report everything that happened today, it was soooo busy.  I'll do my best.  Martha, Jerry, Mary S. & I were out on the front lines while Sandy was in the center to counsel & to do pregnancy tests & to give out baby clothes.  As I was leaving, to go out to the front lines, I saw our mom, who comes into the Material Aid Room regularly, to get things for her family.  She said that she was going to bring in a bag of clothes that her children have grown out of.  That will be fine.  I went out to the sidewalk to join the others.  I saw that a car had pulled out of Planned Parenthood & was driving into our parking lot.  I walked over to the parking lot & approached the two girls that came out of the car.  I asked if they needed baby clothes & the one girl said "yes" & the other girl said "no".  I then asked if they needed a pregnancy test & the one girl said "no" & the other girl said "yes".  I said "come follow me".  I lead them to the Rose Room & did the pregnancy test on the one girl while the other girl went into the Material Aid Room to get some things for her child.  I did some teaching & gave the girl who had the pregnancy test a Truth packet.  Thank God that she was not abortion minded.  They went over to Planned Parenthood & she asked for a pregnancy test & that she wasn't abortion minded & they told her that it would cost $50 & they couldn't do it.  Planned Parenthood will do a pregnancy test if you are willing to have your baby killed.  Lord have Mercy!!  She was happy to have found the Focus Pregnancy Help Center to come to her aid.  They left very happy with our ministry, of love & life. 

Great News at the Focus Pregnancy Help Center today! I brought a client into the center who had just come out of Planned Parenthood & she was abortion minded as we walked into the center for counseling.  The Rose Room was being used by another one of our clients for a pregnancy test so I brought this client into the office.  I spoke with her a few minutes & then said I needed to get something & went into the other room to get the Growth & Development DVD & the rubberized 12 week old baby to educate her.  When I came back into the office she had completely had changed her mind & said to me "I'm not going to have an abortion, I'm to going to keep my baby".  WOW!!  I brought her into the Material Aid Room to get a yellow & green knitted blanket that was donated by the parishioners at St. Jerome's Church for their Mother's Day 'Baby Shower' weekend.  I told her that we will call her to see how she is doing & she was happy to hear that. She smiled & said "thank you & good bye".  My heart was singing.  The Holy Spirit had lead her into the office where we have baby pictures & graphic pictures, to educate.  The pictures did the talking. Thank you Lord!!

Great News again! The doorbell rang & there was a pregnant woman & another woman & two young men with them with a young child.  As they were entering the Material Aid Room the pregnant woman said that we were out there protesting when she was going in for an abortion in the Fall of 2009 at Planned Parenthood.  We educated her to what she was planning to do & showed her the graphic pictures, which was the reality of what she was about to do, to her own baby.  I was so happy to hear this great news.  I said to her "I'm sure glad that we were calling out to you that day".  She said "I'm so glad that you were too".  My baby is a boy & his name is Isaiah & he's due any day now.  She said "thank you all for being there for me, I can't imagine life without him" & then she showed me a phone picture of him in the womb, what a cutie.  I asked her to bring him by after he is born & she said that she would.  Yeah!!  Her & her friend got plenty of nice thing for their children. Today we had 10 clients in the Material Room.  I love to see the smiles on their faces. 

We had at least 10 people in the Material Aid Room today & did four Pregnancy tests.  One after another.  The center was hopping with activity.  We were educating with our literature & words of wisdom from the Good Lord.  Diane stopped by with diapers for our friend Pat's great grand babies, who are growing up so fast.  Later on Pat stopped by to receive the donations that were given to her by great people that wanted to help her family out.  Also, the diapers that Diane had blessed her with too.  Diane was also included with the people that generously donate to help Pat & her family out.  Praise God for such great people that are generous & selfless.  God bless them all.  We had people dropping off new stuffed animals for the Material Aid room & what a blessing that will be for our clients children.  So many people to thank for their goodness & kindness, to the work, of the Focus Center.  We couldn't do it without them & their prayers to the dear Lord.  Melody came & started to make up Truth packets, for the ministry.  Sandy was doing pregnancy test & handing out clothes in the Material Aid Room.  Martha, Mary S., Jerry & I were out on the front lines praying & witnessing the Truth.  I went back & forth in & out of the center but at least I got to say, this week to Mary S., who comes for 1 hour on her lunch hour to pray & to witness out in front of Planned Parenthood.  Thank you all for giving your precious time & love, to our precious babies, that are so unmerciful dismembered, in the name of 'choice'. 

 "A VOICE OF LOVE"

Oh sweet little baby hidden with no where to hide.

The last thing that you hear is a voice calling from outside.

“We can help you”.

“You don’t have to do this” says the sidewalk counselor to your Mom.

                  You rejoice to hear an encouraging voice of Hope.

                 Knowing that if she doesn’t heed this Truth and turn away.

               You will die, at this abortion mill, this very day.

                As you enter Heaven, if your Mother didn’t turn away, remember this

                That for a little while you were LOVED.

             Mary Jost

Wednesday, May 12, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood

 Martha & I started right away on the street.  As we were standing there a car stopped & a middle aged man started to talk to us.  He said that he was Professor at Monroe Community College & lauded on us the very important work that we are doing.  He said "it's hard isn't it".  I replied "yes, it is very hard".  We offered him information & he refused but later on he took the Truth packet, DVD & rubberized baby at 12 weeks.  He said that he has been studying Roe vs. Wade, this unjust, unconstitutional law of 1973.  He said that the Founding Fathers never intended 'child killing' to be a part of this Nation.  Martha & I both agreed that they were God fearing & this country at one time was 'God fearing' too.  He was a very interesting man.  Martha & he got into it about this President & what he believes about abortion.  I think that Martha did shed some light on this & made him aware of some things that he didn't know before about this President.  Education is the Key and a Professor can learn even more.  He said "thank you" & gave us a smile on his handsome face & drove away. 

I went back into the center to get more signs when the doorbell rang & it was David, the father of our little David Tobias, who was saved from being aborted, at Planned Parenthood, last year.  He is 2 months old now & has a brother who is 18 months old.  David was coming in for a double stroller for the two small children & to pick up some children's clothes for them both.  I asked how David Tobias was doing & he said that he has his nights & days mixed up.  He was up most of the night & is now sleeping like a log.  I said that maybe he will be a night owl, for I am, & he said "not if I can help it".  I hear you. He took the stroller out of my car & put it against the wall of the building outside.  I asked him if he could help me get some boxes, of children's clothes, out of my car & into the Material Aid Room for me.  He said "yes, of course".  He was in the Material Aid Room picking out some things for his 2 children & then left on his bicycle.  I couldn't believe it.  He put the double stroller strap on his one shoulder & the clothes bag on the other shoulder & off he went down the street.  But before he left he thanked me again for saving the life of his precious son.  I said that we give the Lord all the glory, for it was by His grace, for we are only His instruments.  He said "thank you".  I said to say hi to Ann & give the children a kiss & hug from me.  He said that he would.  I feel so good & thankful to God, for using this humble ministry, for His purposes.   

 I went back to be with Martha, with a cup of hot coffee for her, for she was by herself all this time, which isn't good.  We know that God does protect us.  I noticed that a car had parked, on the brick side of Planned Parenthood, and a man got out of his car & went over to the parking meter & put some money in it, then walked over to Martha & I, who was standing on the side of Planned Parenthood, were the bushes are.  He walked over to us calmly & we felt no fear at his approach.  He looked at the graphic signs, of the aborted babies, & said that this was so sad & that he didn't believe in abortion.  We both agreed & said that we didn't believe in abortion either & that Planned Parenthood kills babies in this very building & that they were Racist, killing off the Black Race through abortion & birth control.  We offered him the Maafa 2: Black Genocide in the 21st. Century DVD & the Truth packet, to educate him, so he could change things through this education in the community.  He said that he sees us when he drives by & decided to finally stop to talk with us & that he was glad that he did.  We said that we were glad that he stopped by to talk with us & to stop by again another time, in the near future, & if he wanted to be a part of the team he would be more than welcomed.  We hope to see him again real soon.  He went back to car after saying "thank you & keep up the good work that you are doing".  Don't worry dear man, we will never stop until they stop killing children. 

Martha returned to praying & I returned to counseling & witnessing, to the public & the victims of Planned Parenthood, the truth about abortion.  I noticed that some one was going into the center so I left Martha out on the sidewalk & I went into the center to help her.  She needed a can of formula (Enfamil LIPIL) for her baby & I so happened to have this particular brand, that I was saving for Pat's great grandbaby, but I can replace it for her.  I told her that we usually don't have this formula but the good Lord had blessed her today with it.  She smiled & thanked me & went home to feed her precious baby, that was saved by the grace of God, through one of our male sidewalk counselors, whose been out on the street for 14 years now.  Thank you Lord & please bless him & all of us daily, to preserve until the end, in doing your pro life work.  I then went back to be with our Martha out on the sidewalk again.

Now hear comes the grand finale, of the afternoon.  I was so thankful that the abortionist, Rachael Phelps, wasn't here today killing little innocent babies, though Martha & I are always on the defensive, for we don't really know or sure if there isn't a substitute, so we always have our guard up.  I know that if there is no RU 486 or surgical abortion happening there is always Plan B & other birth control abortions, taking place.  'A life is a life no matter how small'.  Martha took over the mega phone & was talking into it as I was near the fence eating a fast sandwich that I wolfed down so that I wouldn't faint.  Just as I was about to take the last mouthful, which is usually the case, someone from behind the bushes was hollering back at her.  I put the last bit of the sandwich down on the bench & stood up to look in the parking lot of Planned Parenthood.  I saw no one & went back to where Martha was standing nearer the driveway.  Just then a light blue, expensive looking car, pulled out of the driveway onto the side of the sidewalk where we were standing.  He was taking our picture with his cell phone.  I grabbed a sign so that he could take a picture of the reality of abortion & he quickly stated to me, "sorry, it's to late", for he got my picture.  I want to make it clear that I don't mind if people take my picture, for it is legal, I just want them to take pictures, of the babies that have been killed by abortion, too.  Martha went up to the car window to talk to him.  Lots of luck dear Martha but you go girl, never the less, for she is a former Psych Nurse, that worked in the State Hospital for 15 years, only to retire 3 years ago, so don't mess with her.  I noticed that there was a young child, sitting in a car seat, in the back, so I knew that he was a Dad.  Martha talked to him for a few minutes only to hear his gobbly gook. He told her to go to Conkey Ave. to save lives & she told him that they were killing people here too.  She offered him some free baby clothes & he responded back to her that he wasn't married but he takes care of his own child.  So 'no' to the free clothes then.  I took down his license number & he didn't care in the least.  I told him that he was parking in a 'No Parking' zone but again he didn't seem to really mind.  He just wanted to bug us & saw that we were not being bugged & that bugged him.  Oh well we can't please everyone!  Later on we were bugged but not at this time, in our encounter with this man, that just didn't get it.  He went for the camera again & just sat there for a few more minutes starring.  He finally left to go down the street & Martha & I were relieved by the lack of his bizarre presence.  I was wrong.  We looked down the street only to see that he was turning around & had now parked in front of the vets, which was not opened for business.  He got out of his car to put some money into the parking meter, good boy, & then went back into his car to stare & to take more pictures of us again.  Poor guy, go to the park, or something.  What was this all about?  He did give us the creeps, for in all my 25 years in sidewalk counseling, I don't remember a stockier, there is a first time for everything.  As I was figuring out what to do next I saw walking up the sidewalk a mother with her 6 young children coming towards us.  I went over to her & said "hello, Brittany" & she said "hello Mary, we've come to do some work in the Material Aid Room for you".  I said "that would be great" & they all followed me into the room, to put some children's clothes away, that were still in boxes, from earlier today.  I was most grateful for their presence & assistance.  I then went into the Taxi room to ask big Alan to show himself, out on the sidewalk, maybe so this guy will know that we really aren't alone & to get out of Dodge quickly & quietly.  But no, not him, he didn't go anywhere but big Alan had to go back to work, answering the phone, at the Taxi company.  Sorry Alan, to drag you into this scenario.  I was now back with Martha & we decided to ignore him for awhile & to continue to pray & to witness.  I saw Dan, a pro life friend of Martha & I, who was dropping off packages, to the printer store, up the street.  I waved to him to come over to Martha & I, and he did.  He stopped & I told him what was going on.  He said that he was working & that he would take a picture of him, on his cell phone.  I said "that would be great Dan".  He drove a little ways down the street & stopped the van & took this guys picture & then left to go back to work. No big deal right. Wrong.  Later on I found out that the guy called Dan's boss to report him for taking his picture & Dan was called into the office where his boss chewed him out.  Poor Dan, he was only helping us. Hopefully it will not go any where & he won't be fired.  Please Lord, please protect Dan from this man.  It was now 45 minutes later & he was still there.  I became worried about the poor child who was in the back seat.  Maybe he or she had awakened & was hungry & was crying, so I decided to flag down, the next police car, that came down University Ave., to check into this matter.  I said a prayer & then about 5 minutes later a police drive down the street & I went into the street to get the police officer to stop.  He did.  He pulled over & got out of his car & came over to Martha & I.  Martha explained the situation & he said that he would go over to talk to him.  Alleluia!!  He got back into his car & pulled in back of the sitting car with the weird man in it, & got out & walked over to the car.  He spoke with this man for a few minutes.  I saw that a woman walking out of the parking lot of Planned Parenthood with a brown bag in her hands.  I said to her "please don't take the Morning After Pill", thinking that the bag could have this drug in it?  She replied "I don't want anymore kids".  I said quickly "please don't kill the little baby that could be in your womb now".  Off she goes across the street & into the car, of the guy who has been parked there, for over 50 minutes now.  Who would know!!  Martha & I just looked at each other with a 'are you kidding look on our faces.  See he was there to harass us for he should have been in the parking lot of the death mill, waiting for his, murder on her mind, girlfriend, & not sitting in front of the vet's office, for what reason was to cause us anxiety.  The police offer went over to the talk to the other police offer who now has joined him.  The car then pulled away from the curb & drove into Planned Parenthood & I saw that he had a smirk on his devious face.  As the car was coming out, a few minutes later, I said to him "please love the baby, who could be in her womb, as you love the baby in the back seat".  Off they went into the world.  Yeah!!  Martha waved to the police officers, who were now driving away & hollered a thank you to them.  They smiled back at us.  What an afternoon!! 

Martha & I went into the center now for it was late & did some work in there & then had supper together, for we had plenty to talk about today.  Dan came in later on & said that he was glad to have helped us out earlier even if he did get into trouble with his boss.  I told him if it goes further I will testify in his behalf.  He said "okay, thanks".  Lets hope that it will not go that far.  Isn't it funny that this guy ,had no problem taking our pictures, but minded that his picture was taken.  Sorry, it's to late!!

Thursday, May 13, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood 

(The Feast of the Accession of Jesus into Heaven)

  

I arrived at the center after the Mass for the Accession of Jesus, a Holy Day, in the Catholic Church.  Martha was going to come a little later.  As I was pulling into our parking lot & noticed that Bill was standing across the street, of Planned Parenthood, with his signs & that I needed to go over there to tell him that I would be out in awhile.  The moment I arrived there was a young girl walking to the door of the center & I asked she if I could help her.  She said that she needed a pregnancy test & I said to her "come follow me".  I told her that I needed a few minutes to open up the doors & to set up for the test.  I asked her if she had any children & she said that she had a 1 year old daughter so I said for her to go into the Material Aid Room to get some things for her child & that I would be with her in a few minutes.  As I was doing all this the doorbell rang & it was a young girl asking for some children's clothes.  I was hoping that Martha would come soon for I knew that Suzanne would be coming in about 20 minutes to counsel.  I just prayed that I could do everything, for I was not feeling well at all.  I was in much pain (chronic pain)which is difficult for me to minister but I pray that the good Lord will help me to help our clients, with love.  I asked her how she knew about us & she said that a friend recommended us to her.  I take her to the Material Aid Room & she & the other girl who was in there getting some things spoke.  Hi was the response to each other.  Here was her friend that recommended us to her.  I said "did she know that you were here"?  She said "no".  How quaint.  Then said to the first girl that I was ready for her in the Rose Room to do the pregnancy test & left her friend in the Material Aid Room to continue shopping.  What was I suppose to do?  We like to be in there, to assist our mothers, but that's not always possible, & today was the day it was not possible.  I did the test & then counseled our young mother for awhile.  When she left the Rose Room she went back to the Material Aid Room to continue her shopping.  Then the doorbell rang again.  I went to the door to see a young pregnant girl & a guy standing at the door.  I answered the door & said "Samantha".  She said "yes".  "Welcome" I said to her & her friend.  She was the girl that had called me this week asking for baby clothes for her expected baby who is due in August.  The Women's Care Center recommended us to her.  I brought her to the Material Aid Room & had to hurry the 2 other girls for they had time to shop & had a couple of bags for their children already.  I said for them to come back in the future, if they needed anything else, for their children.  They said "okay & thank you" & left.  I was really hoping that Martha would come soon & my prayers were answered in a matter of a few minutes.  Martha came into the room & I greeted her & then introduced her to our new clients. A few minutes after Martha arrived Suzanne arrived.  I introduced her to our new clients & then gave her some instructions of what I needed this afternoon for her to do.  Simple things like ordering brochures & pregnancy tests. I reviewed the week for her.  I like it when Suzanne calls the clients, the pregnant ones & the ones that have already delivered their babies.  I don't want to take time away from her to do that important work.  I then went back to the Material Aid Room to say good bye to the young couple & told Martha that I was going to the front lines to be with Bill & that I would see her soon.  She said "okay, I'll be out later".  Off I go with the mega phone & picture of Malachi the sweet aborted baby picture &  the box of literature.  I got to the bush side of Planned Parenthood to set up.  I called over to Bill, for he is hard of hearing that I was on the sidewalk now.  I looked over to the Planned Parenthood parking lot & I didn't see the abortionist car parked by the back door.  I was happy but you still can't let your guard down for there could be another abortionist taking her place in there.  Martha joined me on the sidewalk after she was done ministering with our happy young couple.  I hope to see them again, in the future. 

 The school bus driver went passed us, honking the horn & putting hi thumb up & the children on the bus were waving at us too.  There was an Oriental boy waving at Martha & I, he was so cute.  Every time this bus driver comes by he waves at us & honks.  We wave back & sometimes I blow him a kiss.  He encourages us so much. 

 

Jerry arrived to pray with Martha & I.  He went over to the brick side of the building to knee & pray the Rosary.  The two Death Escorts were there leading these young girls to a life of harm & grief.  Praise God that the parking lot was thinning down & when we left, a couple hours late, there were no victims in Planned Parenthood!!  God is working a marvelous work there on the street ministry & in the center.

 

I turned around & noticed that there were two young girls walking down the sidewalk passed the center towards Planned Parenthood.  I gently approached them & asked if they needed a pregnancy test & they said "yes".  I said "come follow me" & led them to the Focus Center to be greeted by Suzanne.  I gave them a Truth packet & the rubberized babies but the one girl yelled out, it scared her so I didn't peruse it. 

I knew Suzanne would take good care of them, which she does to all our clients.  They were in the center for some time & I saw them walking back towards Downtown.  Yeah!  they didn't get exposed to the lies & deception at Planned Parenthood but were giving the Truth, in the center.  I felt good to be used by God to achieve this in their lives & in the lives of others.  I humbly praise Him for the work that He accomplishes in ALL the pro lifers that are True to their Faith, on the front lines & in the Pregnancy Centers throughout the world but especially here in Rochester, NY., for this team is faithful & dedicated in all kinds of adversity & in all kinds of weather.  God bless you remnant :)

I looked down the street & I saw a young man walking towards the center & I thought to myself that that might be David, from the Eastman School of Music.  He had emailed me this week asking to come to the center to do some work if I had anything for him to do.  Oh yes David, I sure could use you.  I walked to the door & I saw that Suzanne had answered the door & then he turned around to be introduced to me, by Suzanne.  I said that it was so nice to meet him & to give him his assignment which was to paint the table legs of our counter that we use for our meal preparations.  The tablecloth was to short & exposed the wooden legs that looked awful.  I gave him the paint & offered him a bottled water which he accepted.  After he was done painting, I asked him if he would put away the 4 boxes of baby clothes, that I brought in from my home. He said that would be fine.  I then saw that Suzanne was setting up for a pregnancy test & asked her if she is expecting someone & she said that there is a woman in the bathroom & she thought the I had brought her in but I said "no" & that it must have been Martha.  Off I go back to the front lines.  I asked Martha & she said that she pointed to where the center was for this woman wanted a pregnancy test.  Praise God, for how He brings the people that needs us, into the center to be taken care of. 

 

Just then we saw that an older man was walking towards us.  He told us his story then he changed it over & over again.  I do remember him from a Monday evening that I was there at the center.  One of the male sidewalk counselors brought him into the center for assistance, & I gave him a whole lot of literature & A DVD & some baby clothes, for the young girls that need it in his Church, that is nearby. This time he looked terrible & was making no sense.  He mentioned that he needed some food so I went into the Material Aid Room & got some non-perishable food, from our food shelves, for him to take with him.  I went back outside & gave it to him & then said "good bye".  If he needs us he knows where to find us.  You, dear man are in our prayers.  I had to go back to the center to see how David was doing.  Martha & Jerry went on to say the Divine Mercy Chaplet, for it was 3pm now the hour of God's Mercy.  When I came back out I saw that the two Death Escorts had left & there was the young skinny one that took their place.  It is sooooo sad to see other woman help to kill & wreck the lives of other women.  Where is the protective sisterhood??   These escorts, both male & female, do a great injustice to these unbeknown victims that go into Planned Parenthood because they are weak & venerable sometimes.  Not all that go in there are victims but are victimizers instead.  They know what they are doing & don't care who they hurt, including themselves.  There were two cars that came in there today that had a RIT sticker on their window.  "You could be so smart that you are stupid".

 

We noticed that the parking lot was empty & that Martha was cold & had to go to celebrate Mother's Day with the other half of her family.  Thanks Martha & have a great time & I'll see you next week.  I went back into the center to say thank you & good bye to David & to wish him well in his future job search.  I also reviewed this afternoon with Suzanne & she said that she contacted some of our clients & that they were all fine.  One of our clients was due yesterday so we will be having a new baby in this world real soon!!  Also another one of our clients was due last week & Suzanne couldn't reach her so we might have another baby in this world already!!  Suzanne said "good bye" & I said "thank you & I'll see you next week". 

I started to do some paperwork when the doorbell rang & it was Dan.  I said hi to him & them immediately put him to work but first I asked him if he still had a job & he said "yes".  I said "thank Lord".  He needed to put in a new light bulb in the hallway & to do some other odd jobs.  He's very cooperative .  He went into the Material Aid Room & started to look at our book selection & found a book on the Civil War.  I said "it's yours Dan" & then he told me that it was his birthday & then I said "Oh Happy Birthday & here is your present, the book on the Civil War".  He was very happy.  The doorbell rang again & it was Melody.  It was so good to see her.  We visited for a few minutes & then she started to make up the Truth packets that we hand out on the street & in the center.  What a helper.  We had supper later on & then worked some more then went home around 9pm.  So much to do but it is well worth it.    See below :)

   

I was putting some things away, in the center, when the doorbell rang & there was a young woman with her daughter, who looked around 8 years old, at the door  I asked if I could help her & she said that she needed some baby clothes for her son, who was 6 months old.  I said "fine & come follow me".  I brought them into the Material Aid Room & she looked in our clothes baskets & was picking out some things for her son.  I asked her some questions about how she found us etc..  She said that she, in the past had received a packet & a DVD, when she was at Planned Parenthood.  I asked her if she was going for an abortion & she said "no".  I said that I was glad that she never thought of having an abortion & I thanked her for having her precious baby.  I then said to her, "if you could pass the information that was given to you, in front of Planned Parenthood, so you could help others, that would be great.  She said that she already did, for her cousin was going to have an abortion & she showed her some of the information that was in the packet & her cousin changed her mind & gave birth to baby boy Jordan, a couple of months ago.  I was so happy to hear this great news!!  I said to her that if her cousin needed anything to come to the center to receive some nice things too.  She smiled & said "thank you & I will tell her this" & then left with her daughter.  I was thrilled to hear what the Lord had done through the street ministry.  God is Great!!

Awhile later, Amy the reporter for the Catholic Courier, came to do an interview on the Focus Pregnancy Help Center, for it is our 5th. year anniversary, as a pregnancy center.  Amy came & interviewed Martha & I for a couple of hours. Just before she was finishing up with the interview the doorbell rang & Martha went to answer it.  She didn't come back to the Common Room, so I knew that it probably was a client coming in for baby clothes, in the Material Aid Room. Then Martha took me aside & told me that this young woman was going into Planned Parenthood, last year, for an abortion & we on the sidewalk convinced her that it was wrong.  She told me later, that it was the people calling out to her & the awful signs, that convinced her that it was wrong. She was a little teary eyed, for she felt badly that she came so close in killing her precious baby, who is the 'apple of her eye'.  She went & came back about 20 minutes later with her two children & Martha & I were so blessed in seeing them.  I just couldn't stop thinking that this very baby, that the mom was now holding, was the same baby that could have been sucked out of her, last year & killed.  She would not be here today. We were so happy that she brought her baby & young son, into the center, so that we could see them both.  She said "thank you & good bye" & left with some nice things for her children.  We said for her to come back if she needed anything else.  I told her that God was pleased with her & I hope that helped her to heal.  She appeared most grateful.

 A few minutes later Melody showed up & I greeted her.  Just then a man pushing, a young boy in a stroller, came from behind the bushes.  I said to him that we had children's clothes in the center right next to this yellow building for your son.  I then asked him what he was doing at Planned Parenthood.  He said "she's on there".  I said"what is she in there for"?  Then he said "it's not my kid".  Oh my God!  I said for him to back in there to try to save the baby's life & he said that she was already in the back room.  I said that you are letting this baby die.  "It's not my kid".  So what if he or she isn't your baby, this child shouldn't have to be killed, for Heaven's sake!  He just walked away going for a nice walk on a mellow summer's day.  Get real mister this is the worst day of your life & you don't even know it.  When he came back from he's walk, about 45 minutes later, I told him that he & his girlfriend will suffer.  He quickly responded that he's already suffered, for he just got out of jail, yesterday.  Well sir, you just went back into the hole today & this time it is for the rest of your life, until you repent.  I always mention, the Forgiveness & Mercy of Almighty God, for a person that repents, of his or her sins.  Lord have Mercy on their souls, for this murder today.  I told them, as they were driving out of the parking lot about 15 minutes later, to repent for the sin of murder.  I hope & pray that they will & not put it off either, for the Lord said in His Word "now is the acceptable time".  The poor little boy, who was about 2 years old, will also be effected by this terrible day.   Melody & I were very sad & she also tried to talk to him but he had the 'spirit of murder' with him & he wouldn't listen.   This little baby was probably conceived by another man while he was in jail & when he got out he made sure that this little precious baby was going to suffer for the betrayal of the mother.  It's easier to kill someone that can't fight back, you big bully, with a shirt on with a huge skull on it. Ick! You probably will end up, back in jail, & the mother had her baby killed for you?  Why couldn't she just get away from him & protect the child that she was carrying, from the evil of abortion?  And where was the father of this baby?  Only God knows.  Having sex outside of marriage is wrong & is a Mortal Sin & must be confessed before one dies, for it is a Deadly Sin, that means that you can end up in Hell for all Eternity, if you die with it on your soul.   

An older woman was walking down the sidewalk & when she was close enough I said to her "would you like a packet of information"?  She stopped & reached out her hand to me to accept it.  Then she told her story.  She said that over the past 5 years when she walked down this sidewalk people give her a packet.  I said to her "you don't need it then".   "Oh yes I do" she said back, it helps me all the time, to get one, for when I lived in Jamaica my daughter told me that she was pregnant & was going for an abortion & I told her to go too.  Now because of you here on the sidewalk showing these pictures that what I did many years ago was so wrong & I deeply regret it.  How sad.  I knew that she had taken the packet to comfort herself for the abortion of her grand child, but did she ever look into them for healing.  I gently took the packet out of her hands & opened it up to where the phone numbers of Project Rachel & Lumina were, the two post abortion ministries, & I pointed them out to her & told her to call those numbers to get the help that she needs so desperately.  I also asked her if she had asked the Lord to forgive her for her part in that abortion?  I couldn't understand what she said, for she had an accent, so I said to her again to ask God to forgive her for her part in the abortion & He will, I said.  She shook her head ,as if to understand now.  I gave her a hug & she was on her way, maybe a little better, than before.  All these years passed by before we got to the 'root of the problem', maybe because today she was willing to share her story, for the first time.  It's always in God's perfect timing. 

A man, with long gray hair, came walking down the sidewalk heading towards Melody & me.  He was a friendly man that engaged us in some conversation.  Here is his story.  He said that when his niece was 13  years old she was forced to have an abortion, it sounded like it was rape or incest.  She was affected by this event but the Good Lord had His hand on her.  She is married to a very nice man, who protects her & is well off.  She has 2 children now & they are doing well also.  She is a singer & her husband is supportive of her.  God turned her life around.  I only hope & pray that she forgave those who were involved in the death of her child & the man that impregnated her was brought to justice.  What goes around comes around. 

Tuesday, June 15, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood

 I spoke to some of the victims of Planned Parenthood that were going into the death mill.  A young girl, who had some blue streaks in her hair, stopped on the sidewalk to look at the graphic signs & to talk to us, for a few minutes.  She said that she was a virgin & we commended her that she was making the right decision & to stay strong with her decision .  Also to read the information in the Truth packet & then to pass it on to her friends & family, to educate them too.  She agreed.  I said to her that she was a breathe of fresh air, that's for sure.  She smiled & then walked down the street to go where she needed to go. 

The first thing that I did went I arrived at the front lines was to check to see if the abortionist, Rachel Phelps was there.  She wasn't, thank God.  I went back to the center to put our portable sign 'Free Pregnancy Help' on the sidewalk & then went into the center.  The doorbell rang & it was a young woman looking to get some things in the Material Aid Room for her young child.  I decided not to go outside today because we had to work on getting those clothes containers emptied & put away, into the Material Aid Room.  Martha was with me & we went to work getting started.  Then the doorbell rang & it was Maria.  It was so good seeing her after a month and a half away taking care of business.  A few minutes later the doorbell rang again & it was Betty coming for her first day, on the team.  I introduced Maria & Betty & they got to talk for a few minutes then the doorbell rang again & it was client asking for a pregnancy test. I asked Martha to do the test & answered the door again & it was another client for a pregnancy test.  I brought her into the all purpose room & Maria & Betty kept her company until our other client was finished.  Martha then took the other client in the Rose Room to do a pregnancy test.  It was sad because she had two previous abortions & a miscarriage & wanted to be pregnant but wasn't.  That's what happens a lot of times, with Post Abortive women, they try to get pregnant again soon after the abortion, to fill the void of the last pregnancy that they ended.  She was sorry that she had the abortions & Martha gave her lots of information to help her to get forgiveness & healing.  I went back into the all purpose room after the clients had left & started to work getting the clothes containers emptied.  Martha instructed Maria on how to give a pregnancy test & Betty helped me with the sorting out the clothes. 

 I then brought up a proposal to Maria, to be a House Mother, in my friends house. They want to use their house as a home for unwed mothers, in Macedon.  The house has many bedrooms, a fireplace, a swimming pool, 5 patios, 3 car garage, acres of land, a completed room downstairs & a great room upstairs & a nice kitchen.  WOW!!  This house will be used to help others.  The owners, who are my friends, have bought 2 houses in Florida & are moving on down.  After I called my friend & Maria spoke with her, a plan was in motion.  Betty also wants to be a House Mother.  Yeah!!  We'll see what the Good Lord wants to happen.  I love it when a plan is in motion.  Maria had to go for it was way after 3pm & we said "good bye " to her & she said that she will see us next week.  Martha, Betty & I continued our work & Tucker came in at 4pm to take his sign & chair & to go outside to pray the Rosary, in front of the Killing Mill, Planned Parenthood.  Martha had to go to baby-sit her grand children. Betty left to take the bus home later on & I stayed to do some paperwork, in the office.  Next week, if we are all caught up with our work in the center, we will go out to the front lines even if the abortionist isn't there.  There is where we make the greatest impression on the public.  Maria might stay in the center, to take care of the clients that come in, next Wednesday.  Team work always! 

My partner, who has been out there on the front lines with me for the past 14 years & I, decided to go to the front lines this morning at 9am, to try to save lives.  We both got there & set up on the front lines with the signs & literature box & mega phone.  He went over to the brick side of the building & I stayed on the bush side of the mill.  I gave him the mega phone to use for he would be more effective on that side of the building closest to the door of Planned Parenthood than I on the bush side which is further away.  This day was a day from Hell.  As I write this I am still recovering from the traumas.  I saw a young girl walking on my side of the sidewalk & I asked her if she needed a pregnancy test & she said "yes".  I told her that we have a pregnancy center & would she like to go there to get a free test.  She said "yes".  I called over to my partner & told him that I would be gone for a little bit.  She acknowledged me & off we went into the center.  I gave her a pregnancy test & counseled her about abstinence then went back outside again.  When I came back on the sidewalk, my partner crossed over the street & was coming towards me.  He said that a gentleman came out of Planned Parenthood & said that his girlfriend was in there for an Etopic pregnancy.  He was counseled to go to the Emergency Room, of the nearest hospital.  He said that he was a Christian & didn't want to be there.  A few minutes later they drove out of Planned Parenthood & waved at us.  This was good, for then to get out of the, Killing Mill & to get the help that she needed in a hospital.   Just then a city truck drove passed us & said that we needed to get our sign off of the 'No Parking' poll.  What!!!  We told him that we have had a sign on this poll for the last 14 years.  He said that the poll was city property & it needed to come down.  I said to my partner that it wasn't worth the stress to argue with him for he just didn't understand what our purpose was out here.  So we took the sign down.  About 10 minutes later he pulled along side of us & worked on getting the 'No Parking' sign up on the sidewalk by the entrance of Planned Parenthood.  I tried to engage him & my partner offered him the DVD Maafa 21: Black Genocide in the 21st. Century but he refused.  Just then a carload of Planned Parenthood workers pulled out of Planned Parenthood & stopped at the exit & the one woman pulled down the car window & started to talk to the city worker.  When they left I told him that they were workers of death.  He said that they were doctors.  I said "no they were not, don't let them tickle your ear".  We tried to educate this man.  Was is hard, oh yes it was. 

When things started to settle down it started up again.  Another young girl was walking down the sidewalk & I asked her if she wanted a pregnancy test & she said "yes" so I led her to the Focus Center.  I brought her to the Rose Room for the test then the Hell began.  She was positive & said that she wanted an abortion & that she had two previous abortions & has a 2 year old daughter & wanted to abort her but she was to far long.  Oh my Lord.  This woman was a serial killer & wanted to continue to kill her babies. What else would you call I?  Abortion is murder even if you don't think so.  I prayed to the Holy Spirit & then went to work.  I put on the Growth & Development DVD & gave her the rubberized 12 week old baby & the Truth packet & the other materials plus our DVD & the movie Bella, that I thought would be helpful.  I put in a Green Scapular in her bag of literature for conversion.  I brought her into the office to give her more information for public assistance. 

 I asked her if she had asked the Lord to forgive her, for her past abortions, & she said "yes" then she said "I have no regrets".  I said that you can't be forgiven if you aren't sorry.  She replied "God understands".  Oh Lord help me here this is scary & oh so sad.  God doesn't understand the murdering of His creation.  This is the first time I heard such nonsense.  I tried to talk to her some more after she filled out the Intake Sheet.  Then she said "am I free to go".  I said "you were always free to go for we don't hold anyone prisoner here but before you go why don't you come with me to the Material Aid Room to get some things for your 2 year old daughter".  She said "fine".  When she came into the room she said that her daughter had so much already & that she didn't need anything else.  I went over to get something quick for her little baby in her womb, to bond.  She then left & my heart sank, for in all my years of counseling, in & out of the center, I only came across a hand full of girls that had no remorse, for their past abortions, & wanted to kill again.  Scary.  I was upset but went back outside to be with my partner.  He said that she went into Planned Parenthood but came out a few minutes later.  I emailed everyone on the email list to pray for her & her precious baby.  We went to the noon Mass & I gave this situation to the dear & offended Lord.  After Mass & was back on the front lines again & I wasn't ready for what happened this afternoon.    

 

 

 

Wednesday, June 23, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood & at Focus

 I got there at the center at 1pm, bringing a friend of mine, to visit for a few minutes before she had to go back to work.  When I got there Betty was there waiting for me.  She had been there for an hour, she 's new, so I said that I get there at 1pm.  She said "no problem".  Dominique wasn't there yet so I had to wonder if she would come back to us.  Well, about an hour later the phone rang, it was her & she said that her doctor had put her on disability & that she wasn't coming back, for the 20 hours per week, but that she would come back next week to help out for a few hours.  Great, for we need you.  Disappointment is what I experience every week.  When I get excited that I will be getting the help that I need in the center, something happens that people either call to cancel or tell me that they can't make it that day.  It's so hard for me.  I feel like I've been punched in the gut.  I have to give it to the Lord & know in my heart that He is watching over the ministry & will provide the help that I need, for the job, that He wants accomplished that day.  Pray & Trust, I must.  I thank God that Pastor Jane't, through the grace of God, brought to the Focus Center dear Betty, for she has been a God sent.  So the dear Lord hasn't forgotten the Focus Center.  She now comes on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, & Thursdays from 1-8pm or later, with me.  :)

I went back into the center.  Martha & Betty were getting ready to go outside to pray & to counsel.  The doorbell rang & it was Maria.  I decided to stay in the center with her for awhile, only to stay there most of the afternoon. 

I went out to bring the lunches for Martha & Betty who were smoldering outside.  I felt badly but Maria needed me in the center too.  Just then, as I was walking back to the center, I saw that a women with a young daughter walking down the sidewalk, across the street.  I called over to her asking if she needed anything for her daughter.  I said "come follow me" & across the street they came & I lead them to the Material Aid Room & then I called Maria in to assist her.  Later, when I came back to the room, I saw that the stroller was gone & Maria said that she took many nice things.  Glad that it worked out for her.  A few minutes later the doorbell rang & it was a young woman asking to come into the Material Aid Room to get some things for her 4 month old daughter.  She took the pink car seat, which was up to code & some baby clothes.  Later on she came back with a car seat stating, that then when she came home, there it was on her porch, so she thought that we could use it.  Thanks so much, that was so nice of you dear one.  I asked Maria to see if that was okay to put out in the room, for they have to be up to pare.  She looked on the car seat to see that the time had expired so we had to put it in the dumpster, that's the way that goes, for we can't give away an expired car seats no matter how good it looks.  Safety first. 

 I went back outside & Martha & Betty told me that a grandmother had brought her granddaughter into Planned Parenthood.  They spoke to her but to no avail.  How evil & how sad.  A young girl came over to them to speak to them & said that she was there for some itching.  She was so very thin & didn't look very healthy.  She later came over to the center to receive some children clothes for her children at home.  She went back to Planned Parenthood to get her medication.  We refer, to the girls, to go Compass Care for their STD testing.  They don't kill little babies there.  If you think that you  have an yeast infection you can go to the drug store, for they have a kit now that can you test to see if you have an yeast infection & to get the medicine to treat it there.  No one has to go to Planned Parenthood for anything. 

 

It was now after 5pm & we all came in, from the front lines, to get supper ready.  We all had our duties & finally we all sat down to eat around 5:30.  It is a special time for us to eat & share at supper time 3 times a week.  After supper which was turkey sausage with onions & roasted red potatoes with spinach & a salad with Ranch dressing & brownies for desert.  Yes, it was good. 

Martha, after she did the dishes had to leave to go to a Parish Council meeting so it was Betty & I to finish up with some things when I received a call on my cell phone.  The young voice asked if we were still open & if she could come in for a pregnancy test.  I said that we were & for her to come on in.  She was there in a few minutes for she had gone to Planned Parenthood & they were not taking in walk ins & she saw our sign out on the sidewalk & called.   I brought her into the Rose Room for a pregnancy test & it was positive.  She was surprised & told me her story.  It's usually complicated & that saddens me so much.  When you have sex your chances of getting pregnant is there because that's how you get a baby is through sex.  So many girls have sex & don't think that they could get pregnant.  Most of the guys are not around or are incarcerated & if they get out & find that the baby isn't theirs they force her to have an abortion, which is murder.  They leave her anyway & then she suffers from Post Abortion Stress Syndrome that no one talks about especially Planned Parenthood, which is bad for business, & the modern medical world who makes $$$ off of the abortion, through doctor visits & the pharmaceutical companies, for the anti depressants that the doctors prescribes for her depression & anxiety.  It goes full circle & the girl is usually the victim of all of this.  My heart goes out & we try, at the center, to make her aware of this cycle & to get Post Abortion help for forgiveness & healing.   She has a child & is post abortive & her boyfriend is in jail & this is her friends baby.  So to say the least I had a lot to teach & information to give her.  Betty was invited to come in at the end to pray with her & to show her some love & support. We then brought her tot the Material Aid Room to get some things for her child at home.  She called a friend to get a ride home but that didn't work out so I drove her home & Betty kept me company.  We love & care about our girls & their children & we offer up our suffering, to God, for them.

 Thursday, June 24, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood

Toady we had Martha, Carole, Bill, who blessed Martha & I with $20 each, thanks Bill, Betty, Melody, Suzanne & myself, were all there.  What a team!!  Since I had enough coverage, out on the front lines, I stayed in the center for awhile to talk with Suzanne, which I hardly ever do, then I joined the team outside.  Just before I left to go out, the doorbell rang & it was a young lady wanting baby clothes, so I told Suzanne & she took it from there.  It's always good to have a counselor, in the center, when we are out on the front lines, so that we don't have to be in both places at once.  When I got out there I spoke with the girls & we decided to go see, one of our own who was in the hospital, after supper, this evening.  Then Carole handed me $50, for the center, she said that she won  $100 at Bingo & gave the center half of that.  Thanks Carole that was so nice of you.

 After awhile I went back into the center for something & then I asked Suzanne if she had any news of any of our babies that were 'saved', if they were born yet?  She said "I have good news & bad news".  "Oh no", I thought.  I then said to her "what is the good news first".  She said that one of our clients ,who was referred  to Dr. N., kept her appointment & likes him & will be using him for her pre natal care".  "Yeah" I answered back!!  "Now for the bad news" I said.  I know what it is, when she said "I have bad news for you".  She then said that the woman that I spoke to last Friday aborted & she wasn't sure if it was on Thursday or Friday, of last week.  I know that it wasn't last week because she was pregnant when I met her & her boyfriend, for she showed me her stomach & she had a small pouch protruding & said that she was 9 weeks along.  This is the story.  Last week I went to the dentist, next to St. Mary's Hospital, & after that I decided to go to the center to do some work there.  I arrived around 3:10 pm & after awhile in the center I decided to go outside to Planned Parenthood to see how many cars were in the parking lot.  When I arrived I saw that the abortionist wasn't there but there were 2 people talking, a man & a woman, in the parking lot.  I called them over to me & they came.  I spoke to them for a few minutes & then offered them some literature & invited them to come with me to the center to get them.  They followed me into the Focus Center.  I again spoke with them about many things.  She was nice & seemed to be a Christian & he gave me a hard time with many questions about Christianity, which I answered through the power of the Holy Spirit.  She became irritated with him saying "What, you don't know that Jesus is the son of God"!!  I asked her what she was doing at Planned Parenthood & she said for pre natal care.  I told them about their Racism & gave them the Truth packet & the DVD on Growth & Development & Maafa 21: Black Genocide in the 21st. Century.  Also our 12 week old rubberized baby & our list of good doctors to go to.  I invited them into the Material Aid Room to get some green & yellow baby clothes & she showed me her bulging belly at that point.  At the end of our time together I asked if they had a Bible.  He said that he has a Koran & she said that she would like a Bible so I went into the Rose Room to get one for her.  On the way out I asked her to write down her name & phone number on the Intake Sheet & if it was okay with her, that Suzanne our counselor, would call her to see if she  needed anything.  "That's fine" she answered back.  As the boyfriend was leaving he turned around to me & said that he was a Muslim.  "Okay" I said back & have a nice day.  He earlier stated that he believed in Science & not Religion & said many weird things.  I asked her if he was her husband or boyfriend  & she said "boyfriend".  He watched to many bad movies like the Di Vinci Code & I told him that.  Needless to say I was very surprised to hear that she had an abortion.  When Suzanne called her she thought that it was Planned Parenthood & said that she was still bleeding.  Suzanne handled the phone call very well.  This, like all our lost babies, was a heart break.  I pondered this over & over in my head.  It was to late, last Friday & the abortionist wasn't there & she looked pregnant, so why in the name of Heaven did she come back on probably Tuesday, to have an abortion, when she wasn't even abortion minded, on Friday???  Only God knows what happened to have someone do this terrible act of violence against another human being, especially one's own child, that God so fearfully & wonderfully created.  I was sick & puzzled, to boot about this, or hearing the news of any precious, innocent baby being killed. 

I went back to the front lines carrying this pain with me.  Martha told me that 3 young girls were heading towards Planned Parenthood & were informed about the Truth.  The two girls, out of the three, did not go into Planned Parenthood to get anything but the hard noised one did.   When she came out she showed Martha & Carole & Betty her condoms.  Oh what a catch!  You'll be the only one with a sexually transmitted disease or get pregnant & what, come back here to the people that care for you (not), & have them kill your sweet baby.  Hope not with all our hearts.  Some of our girls are soooo hard but we love them never the less only to worry about them, a little more than the others.  We wouldn't be out there taking so much disappointment & hatred & chaos if we didn't love them & their children but especially the dearly offended Lord & Savior. 

We came in around 5pm to set up for supper & then went to Strong to visit our dear friend.  Thank God that I had my 3 friends with me, for I was near the very building that, the gang rape took place back in 1971, at Strong Memorial Hospital.  It was in the Research Center.  They gave me their love & support & prayers, after the visit of our friend, in the Abbots parking lot on Mt. Hope, eating ice cream.  The things of the past can be healed with the prayers & love, of the present.  Thanks guys, for your prayers & thanks Martha for the ice cream.

Tuesday, June 29, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood & in Focus

What a day I had today!  There isn't enough words to express what I experienced this day.  When I first arrived, one of the seasoned pro lifers, was already there.  He came out of the center to tell me that we already had a client that was in the Material Aid Room getting things for her child.  I walked into the room & said "hello".  I knew that Martha was right behind me for we came to the center right after Mass & I saw her park her car on the street, where she won't get hit.  I went into the office & I saw that the red light was blinking, on the phone, which means that I had a  message.  I knew also that the other pro lifer was going to get things set up on the sidewalk & would sidewalk counsel, so I didn't have to worry about the coverage on the front lines & also I knew that Mary S. & Donna come at this time & would be with him on the sidewalk, as Martha & I would be in the center, for awhile.   I took the phone message & it was Sandy, calling in today, for she wasn't feeling well.  Sorry to hear that.  We are short one person now.  Just then my cell phone went off & it was Betty saying that she was a patient at the Strong Hospital.  What next, I'm afraid to pick up any more phones.  She had a non life threatening health problem & will be home on Friday, thank God, & will be back at the center next Tuesday.  That sounds good to me Betty.  She requested to stay in the center & not to go outside on the front lines.  Understandable.  I know was in the hallway & heard the doorbell so I went to answer it as I passed the Material Aid Room I saw that Martha was in the room helping our mom, which I knew that she would.  We have this quiet understanding with each other.  I went to the door & there was our client that "Chose Life".  I said "hi dear one it is so good to see you, I thought that you said that you were coming in on Thursday but that's okay I'm glad to see you today".  And then I gave her a big hug.  I said that because I know that Suzanne, our counselor on Thursdays, would love to have seen her too.  I brought her & her two friends into the Material Aid Room.  Martha was pleased to have seen her too.  One of her friends requested a pregnancy test but needed some water to help make that possible.  So Martha went to get her a bottle of water in the office refrig.  I asked our client how she was doing & she said that she was doing fine & that her baby was due now in August & not in September.  Great!!  I asked if she need anything & she said a bassinet.  I said "are you kidding me, we have a beautiful bassinet in the back room but it's blue & you're having a girl".  "That's okay" she said so I said "okay lets go get it".  Once she saw it she was so happy, even if it was blue, who really cares, right.  The smile on her face was priceless.  Just then Donna came in to use the bathroom & saw us together talking & she came over to us & said "so you're having a boy".  Are you kidding me.  Our sweet client just smiled & said "no I'm having a girl".  It has already started.  But that's okay, for it was free & beautiful.  Her baby daughter won't be affected in the least by everyone thinking that she is a boy or I should say I hope not.  I was so happy that our client was happy.  I told her to come back if she needed anything else & that I wanted to see the baby after she was born & for her to bring her in for us t see.  She said that she would.  Great!!  Her friend took the pregnancy test & was counseled by Martha & off they went, very happy, all 3 of them.  See you soon :)

 

I got to talk to Martha for about 3 minutes when the doorbell rang again.  There was another mother wanting baby & children's clothes.  Martha brought her into the Material Aid Room & I went into the office, to do somethings, before going out to the front lines, to join the team.  After Mass today Paula gave us 2 huge bags of clothes, that was now in the general meeting room, to be put away hopefully by Melody when she comes in today & also Mary S. when she came today, to be on the front lines during her lunch hour, gave us 3 bags full of clothes too.  Thanks you guys.  Melody will be very busy when she gets here today.  Martha was still in the Material Aid Room so I went in to help her but the door was locked.  I knocked on the door & Martha let me in.  It was the 3 year old little girl that locked the door & when I said "no honey , don't lock the door" I got a look that would make your hair curl.  Oh boy!  Another mother was now in the room too with her son.  All I know is that someone, had pulled off all my flower stickers, that I had put on the wooden shelves, where I have the baskets of clothes. That's the price that you pay when you give out 'free clothes'.  It gets so busy, in the room, that it's hard to watch everyone & kids can be fast.  I forgive whoever did that to my beautiful room. 

 

Martha finally was able to leave to go out to join the team.  I was hoping to be not to far behind her but I was wrong.  The doorbell rang & it was another mother with her son.  They come about once or twice a month.  I invited them into the room to look around. I noticed that the young boy who is about 8 years old had his head shaved, so I commented on it saying that it must be cooler in the summertime.  No the mom said I had his head shaved because he came home with you know what, oh no I said to myself then she said what she said "lice".  "Oh" I said, you're kidding, as my head began to itch.  She said that if he had any you would see them.  I'm glad that there were none, for my hair is down to my waist, & I'm not ready for a buzz cut yet.  She said that she has some things to bring in, for the Material Aid Room, but I said that maybe not, after what she had just told me.  They left with some nice things & came back later to get the blue sleeping bad.  Right on! 

 

The doorbell rang again & it was Melody, boy was I glad to see her.  I said hi & gave her a hug, for I am a hugger  then I put her to work.  I asked if she could make some sandwiches & she said "yes", for I was anxious to go outside to be with the team.  Just then the doorbell rang & it was another mother who needed clothing for her child.  I brought her into the room & then the doorbell rang again.  I answered it & brought her & her son in the room too.  I went & got Melody to go into the Material Aid Room, to assist the mothers, & I would finish making up the sandwiches.  I wolfed down my sandwich as I was making it.  I wrapped, the one sandwich that I made for Martha, & put it into the lunch bag along with the Tortilla chips, a cookie, blueberries & grapes & a bottled water.   I knew that she would be happy with this.  Not.  She didn't like the lemon pepper chicken, that I used, to make her sandwich.  Picky, picky.  She didn't finish it.  I understand.  Sorry Martha, plain chicken, next time. 

 I am not kidding.  As I was finally going out the doorbell rings & it was Donna & a young girl & I thought, her daughter.  Donna said that the girl was pregnant & was upset because she was at Planned Parenthood trying to get her ultrasound pictures but PP won't give them to her.  Why?  I brought them into the Rose Room & asked how she was feeling.  She asked to go to the bathroom so I showed her where to go.  She hadn't had breakfast so I got her a health bar & a bottled water.  I then called the doctor but the office was closed today.  So said that she doctor was at Strong so I said why don't you go there.  Donna said that she would take her so off they went.  Later on they came back.  She was feeling better so they went to lunch instead,  She looked & felt better.  To no avail she couldn't get her ultrasound pictures from Planned Parenthood, so Donna called the police.  They couldn't do anything but at least they know that Planned Parenthood stinks.  Right!

 

I left to go out on the front lines to give Martha her lunch & to see how things were going.  Not good to say the least.  The male pro lifer was threatened by a young man that brought his girlfriend in to have her precious baby killed.  I was told that he was sitting on the bench.  I hollered over to him something & he replied that he had no control in the matter.  I said "you drove her in so you are now an accomplice to the crime".  He just looked down on the ground.  About an hour later he & his girlfriend, drove out of Planned Parenthood, without their precious little baby.  Where is your baby?  Carole was out there & it was good to see her today too.  I looked over across the street to see that the young girl who told me that she was using the Depo shot was smoking.  I called over to her & told her that the shot & cigarettes don't mix.  She told me to go to hell & that she would save me a space.  What, I said I don't want to go there & I hope that you don't either.  I just want to let you know that the Depo shot is dangerous especially if you smoke & that you are in danger of a heart attack or stroke or cancer. Just because I care, dear & you don't.

 

Just then two girls drove into Planned Parenthood & said something to me that I cannot repeat on my 'Front Line Weekly" report.  It was disgusting.  It's so very sad to see that the caliber of womanhood go down the drain because of immorality. 

 

I had to go back into the center & when I was there the doorbell rang & it was a young mother with her young son.  She said that she needed clothes so I brought her into the Material Aid Room for some things.  Another woman just then came in with her daughter.  I said to her "when are you due"?  Just then the other woman that I let in first with her son said out loud "I'm pregnant too".  I asked for her to come over to me & when she did I brought her into the Rose Room to talk.  I asked her what her plans were.  She said that she was going to parent her baby.  That's good.  Then she said that her mother wanted her to have an abortion for she already has a son & that she's not ready to have another.  Her mother told her that she would pay for it & that she would help her out more if she had an abortion.  Our little lady told me that she said to her mother "why can't you help me now & have the baby".  She also told me that she doesn't live with her mother.  "Thank God" I said back.  I then told her that I respected her very much for not giving in to the evil of her mother & have an abortion.  Then she said that she wanted her to have an abortion with her 4 year son.  I turned my head to look at him & almost cried, for this precious boy was so cute & loving & created by God himself & for her mother wanting to destroy him was unbelievable to me. I said that I was sadden to hear this.  I asked her to fill out an Intake Sheet so that Suzanne could call her on Thursdays.  I gave her our DVD & some other brochures & helpful information for her to get the assistance that she needs.  I told her to come back to get some things when she knows if she is going to have a little boy or girl.  I said to the little boy that mommy was going to have a little brother or sister for him & then she touched her stomach & said to her son "mommy is gong to have a baby".  He said back to her "mommy is going to have a baby, yeah".  So sweet he was.  She tanked me & went back into the room to finish shopping.  Just then the doorbell rang & it was one of our clients from last week.  I made an appointment for her to got to Matthew's Closet for some 'free' clothes for her & her child but that she missed her appointment because she had to go to DSS.  I said that I would call over there to see if they would take her now & they did.  I filed out another sheet for reference & gave it to her & off she went to Matthew's Closet on Bay St.  She said "thank you' & I was glad that they told her to come on in.  It worked out well.

Wednesday, June 30, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood

It was Martha & I at the center first.  I went to the front lines to see if the abortionist was there & thank God, she wasn't, so I went back to the center to tell Martha.  We decided to get a bite to eat first, for it's better to eat in the center than on the sidewalk.  We do only if we have to & we can't get away to go into the center for a quick lunch.  I then set the table & made the sandwiches.  Thank you Lord for our refrigerator, for we just bring the food & then make the sandwiches fresh.  It was a God sent & I don't know how we made it without it in the past, oh yes I do, for God provides another way.  It all works out.  Martha was in the Material Aid Room putting away baby & children's clothes while I was working in the kitchenette.  Lunch was on!  I called Martha in & then we partook in chicken sandwiches, homemade macaroni salad & ice tea.  Then the doorbell rang & it was Tony & his granddaughter, who is 6 years old.  They sat down to partake too.  It was a blessed time & then Martha brought her into the Material Aid Room & she got a stuffed animal & she called it 'Christina'.  Her grand father told her that she had soooo many already & that she really didn't need anymore but she looked at him with her puppy dog eyes & he said "okay".  Then she asked me who was feeding him, she meant the stuffed teddy bear.  Oh my!!!  The innocence of children.  We were almost finished & then Maria came in.  She said that she was going onto the front lines by the brick side of the building.  I said that we weren't to far behind her on the side, where the bushes were, of Planned Parenthood.  Off she goes & in came Carole.  Great.  She stopped by to drop off the Bella movie that we gave her to watch  she was returning it, for she wasn't able to be with us tomorrow or even next Tuesday, for she was going away.  I asked if she had time to go outside with us for  a little while & she said that she had 2 hours that she could give us.  Great Carole.!  So off we all go in front of Planned Parenthood, all six of us, including our 6 year old.  We went & got the signs, the mega phone & literature box & went to the front lines.  I got there first & saw that a young man was sitting on the bench in front of Planned Parenthood.  I called over to him & offered him help & told him what Planned Parenthood was all about (the short version) & he started to holler nasty things to me & then stood up & did a gesture with his hands, between his legs, at me.  I guess this was to shock me so I'd shut up but to no avail it didn't work.  I went on talking to him & then big Tony took over.  The kid was relentless & obnoxious to say the least & then left to back inside the killing mill.  Win some lose some, it's hard & disappointing to say the least. 

He came out with his girlfriend about 20 minutes later & she had a paper in her hands.  They passed by Maria who was on the other side from us.  She said later that she took a look in his eyes & said nothing to him as he passed her, on the sidewalk.  He was mean looking.  I only hope & pray that she wasn't going to come back tomorrow to have her baby killed, if she was pregnant.  Run sweetheart, just get away from him.  Some of these girls don't know what they got themselves into with some of these guys.  But killing the baby won't help, it just will create different problems, & then you'll be Post Abortive for the rest of your life.  Lord have Mercy!  Tony & his grand daughter had to go so we said "good bye" to them.  It was nice of him to stop by & to visit & to pray with us out on the sidewalk.  Martha, Carol & I were on the sidewalk now with Maria on the other side with all her signs.  Just then a middle aged, around (maybe older looking) woman, with red sneakers on, was walking on the sidewalk, coming towards us.  I informed her that if she was going into Planned Parenthood she was going into a racist organization.  But that didn't seem to bother her any & off she goes into the driveway, of Planned Parenthood, & into the building.  We all just looked at each other & signed.  I had to go into the center for a while & later when I came back out onto the front lines the girls told me that she came back out with the condom bag in her hands.  Martha told her about condoms & she just smirked & said that they were for her niece & then began to wiggle her hips, with her red shoes on, going down the sidewalk.  She must have just felt twenty again!!  Remember, I mentioned that she was an older looking woman.  I don't make these things up. 

A couple of girls passed by us & I started to talk to them.  The one girl said that they had the Implanon, birth control sticks, put in their arms.  I said that I had a brochure on that drug & for them to follow me into the center to receive it.  They did, for they were in a hurry to catch the bus.  The bus can wait but your health can't.  They said that they were told that not to many doctors use this.  I said "right, they shouldn't".  I was so upset that these two precious girls were deceived & was putting their health at risk, of many dangerous side effects, as well as for ALL contraceptives.

Also check out 'One More Soul', about contraceptives risks @:  http://onemoresoul.com/contraception/risks-consequences/what-a-woman-should-know-about-birth-control.html.

 

Just then the doorbell rang & it was a young girl who needed baby clothes.  I brought her into the center & she helped herself.  We can do this for we are blessed with many nice things & the more that we give away the more we receive from the kindness of the great pro lifers, to replace it.  Thank you dear Lord!!  We also have a stroller, that someone gave us in good condition, to give away.  I remember that a client had asked for one so I brought it into the extra room, off the meeting room, that we're not paying rent for, thanks Bernie (our landlord), for the use of part of the big room, until you fix it up & rent it out, for storing our big things in.  God is Good!  We get along well with, all the businesses, that we share the hallway & meeting room with.  Which is the Taxi company & our Accountant & the Realtor. One big 'happy family'. 

 

I went back outside to be with the girls.  They told me what was going on & I know of at least 3 more fallen off fingers, according to Carole, who wants their finger to fall off, if they give us this sick gesture.  Makes sense to me.  It is "the universal sign of disrespect".  It has a sexual connotation to it & it's not nice.  It's really saying "I hope that you get raped".  Which doesn't set well with us.  She hates that 'the bird' gesture & so does Martha & I & all the team, both male & female alike.  This is what a bird looks like:   

 

 

 

 It was 4pm & Tucker had just arrived, he stays out by himself, to pray & to witness. Carole had to go, so us girls went into the center, Martha, Maria & I to do some work.  Maria said that she would order a pizza & it would be a surprise & it was.  She came back about 20 minutes with the pizza.  I flipped the lid & said to myself "what is this"?  Just then she said I have a Buffalo wings pizza for you girls.  Really, okay for I was hesitant for I never had one before & really it didn't even look appealing to eat.  But BOY WAS IT GOOD!!!  What a nice surprise to say the least.  Thanks Maria for this great pizza.  She got it at the new gas station & food service up the street on East Main St. that just opened.  I never would have guessed.  She said that it was a toss up of this pizza or the cream of broccoli pizza, maybe next time we'll try that one.  After supper we did some work, Martha & I, for Maria had to go.

Thursday, July 1, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood

After Mass, Suzanne introduced me to her friend, that came in to visit her & they were heading over to the Focus Center to see it.  When I got there, there was Suzanne & her friend , so I started to open up all the rooms, for her to see.  I noticed that she had brought some things in for our mothers too.  It is soooo busy when I first get here, that I'm thinking of getting my body there earlier, so that I can get some things done earlier, before going out to the front lines.  Sometimes when I get here, there is a mother or two already waiting for me to open up, so that they could go to the Material Aid Room, to get what they need.  Word is getting out.  Martha was getting the things to go outside & Bill was already there witnessing across the street, from Planned Parenthood.  Great job Bill!!  I stayed to make the sandwiches & I heard the doorbell ring.  It was John.  I felt, in my spirit, that I was going to see John today & I did.  It was the Holy Spirit & John said the same.  He felt that he was suppose to be here today & so he came. Great!! 

After I ate quickly my sandwich, for there is an advantage in making the sandwiches, I went to the front lines to be with the troops.  Just then a woman was walking towards Planned Parenthood & I told her about the racism there but she walked in there anyway.  How sad!  Then the school bus driver honked at us with all his gusto & the kids in the school bus waved.  It was so good an experience for us who are so abused, at times.  "Blessed are the persecuted for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven".  Yeah!!!  I had to go back into the center, to talk to Suzanne about something, & I left Martha & John & Bill to do what they do best & that is to witness.  When I came back out, I need to stop doing that, for whenever I leave & come back out, there is usually a problem.  I saw that the woman that I had confronted before I went into the center was arguing with Martha & John.  I went to get my sign, to stand on the sidewalk to witness but when I heard what she was saying & reacted.  She said that she was pro choice & that it was her body.  I told her that she was "pro death" & why would you do that to your body"?  Then she said that she wasn't Black, okay you're Afro American, sorry.  Still Planned Parenthood is targeting you as a Race.  Then she started to do a Praise the Lord dance, saying Alleluia.  I said that you can do that only after you repent first for thinking that it's okay to kill God's children, through abortion.  Bill came over, from across the street, & their faces were inches apart, to close for comfort, so I faked calling the police to get her off of the sidewalk.  It worked.  It usually does work, but there were two times that the guys were so arrogant, that they stayed to greet the police, that never came.  But this is a good tactic to avoid any altercations, on the sidewalk.  Off she goes, walking down the sidewalk, still defending her right to kill her baby.  Not!!  Sometimes you just can't get through to them.  As she was walking away, there was Jim Bovay, the neighbor who lives across the street from the abortion mill, standing on the sidewalk across the street, just looking at me with his beedy eyes.  Do you believe it!  I don't.  We have been trying to convert him & the other neighbors, for the past 14 years to no avail, that they are killing littler babies at Planned Parenthood & that you should be doing something about it, like protesting with us.  Brain dead.  No one home mentality. There he is standing, across the street, like a board just looking at me.  Then he says "Mary you're crazy".  Then John hollers over to him "then we're all crazy too".  Then Jim spins his hand, by his head, to imply that I'm nuts.  No Jim the word is out that it's you that's nuts.  Anyone who believes that abortion, which is the slaughter of the innocent is okay, then they are ready for the funny farm.  I'll drive.  How sad is this.  I asked him to "go away" & he did, back into his own world of denial.  It must be lonely there, oh no I forgot, he has his wife Sue & the rest of the neighbors to keep him company.  Icky!   Misery loves company, so they say.  I was glad that this old tart was gone.  Yes, it got heated out there on the sidewalk, with this girl that was being convicted by her own words.  It's funny, that a little noise bothers him, but not the killing of little, innocent babies, across the street, from where he lives.  Something is wrong with this picture, that's for sure. 

 

I went back into the center & while I was there I asked Suzanne if she had any news for me.  She said that she did.  Great News!!  I just wanted you to know that we have a new Focus baby who was born on 6-28-10, a little boy Arian @ 6lbs. 15 oz., 20 inches long.  Mother & child are doing well.  Praise God that she 'chose life' for her son.  We are so happy, to say the least.  It's been a rough week, out on the front lines, so this is very good news, for us warriors.  Many babies are to be born this year & three to be born in January of 2011.  Yeah!!  God is Great & His grace is sufficient.  
 

 Our little Akira, who was born prematurely last year at 1lb. 8oz., will be 1 years old next Thursday, July 8th.  Praise God!!  She is 20 lbs. now & can stand up briefly & roll over.  She can't hold her bottle but will soon, I'm sure.  She mumbles some sounds & is as cute as can be.  We at the Focus Center are wishing our little Akira a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! 

 

Melody came in so I kept her busy making up new packets.  Also, a woman came in named Rose, (she called me on my cell phone earlier this week) & said that she belongs to the Baden Street program, & wants to volunteer at the center, for 16 hours each week.  It looks like she will be starting next Tuesday.  Hopefully she will come to join us, in our work, to save & to change lives for Christ.   Welcome Rose!!

 I went back out side to be with Martha & John.  We stayed out there for another hour or two & then started to put things away, back into the center.  I stayed outside, a little while longer, for I felt that I was in & out all afternoon & that I didn't spend enough time outside.  Just then a car stopped, where I was standing, on the sidewalk.  I went up to the car & put my head in the open window & asked the driver if I could help her. She said that she saw us on Tuesday & was going to stop but went on her way but decided to stop to talk to me today.  This is her story:  She said that Planned Parenthood scheduled an abortion for her at 4 months, at Strong Memorial Hospital, with the abortionist Nancy Stanwood, who does second trimester abortions there.  She said that she deeply regrets it now.  "What was I thinking", she said to me.  I wish that I never did that to my precious baby.  I am a mother of four & I believed a lie that I couldn't raise another child, but I was wrong.  I have named my baby.  She said that she blamed her boyfriend & that he was blaming her for the abortion.  This is typicial.  I asked her if she could follow me into the Focus Center to receive more information that I had for her & she said "yes, of course".  She followed me into the center & I got all our Post Abortive informational brochures that I had, to give to her.  I encouraged her to call Project Rachel, which is local, first.  She said that she would & I hope & pray that she will so that she can continue her healing & forgiveness journey.  I asked if she had asked the Lord to forgive her & she said that she did.  That's good, I said.  Abortion, is a mortal sin, which if not forgiven, can lead you straight into Hell, after death.  Repent & I say it again Repent & don't wait to do it.  Do it now, for you may not have tomorrow.  She gave me a big hug & out the door she went, hopefully a more healed person, then when she first came in. 

Check out for Post Abortion help:  http://www.projectrachelrochesterny.org/ & http://www.afterabortion.org/& http://www.silentnomoreawareness.org/resources/.

 

  All of us were now, in the center from the street ministry, so now was the decision for supper.  I suggested another pizza at the same place.  Good idea everyone said.  I called & we decided on a garlic broccoli pizza.  So John was going to pick it up after the Mass, at St. Stanislaus Church, at 5:30pm.  Just then Pastor Jane't came in to bless us with her presence & teaching & to lead the meeting, of the minds & hearts.  We went into the Rose Room to talk & to review the day & later on John came in with the pizza, around 6:10pm, & with a free bottle of Sprite, to boot.  Everyone liked the pizza very much.  I was not gracious, or I should say I was rude, for I had two pieces of pizza & I should have given another one to Jane't, so that she had two pieces & I had one.  I can be selfish & I do apologize dear Jane't, I'm sorry for my selfishness.  Not nice of me.  

 After everyone had left, John stayed to work on to revise the Client Intake Sheet, on the computer.  I did some other things, in the center, for there is always something to do there to keep busy.  I wish that I had more time to do what I need to do there.  The next project is to re paint the Meeting Room.  I'll ask the guys, who are painting my apartment to do it, I'll pay them to do it.  I spoke to the landlord & he said that he would buy the paint, so maybe I'll change the color of the paint, from a mint green to a deeper green.  We'll see.  I'll have to look at the color charts first then decide.

Tuesday, July 7, 2010 in front in Planned Parenthood

We had Martha, Rob, John, Scott, Donna, Mary S., Carmen, Jerry & myself outside & in the center we had Rose, Betty, Sandy & Melody, was this not a good day or what!!   I was in & out of the center all afternoon, that's my job, to be in more than one place, at a time.  Sometimes I feel like my Guardian Angel lifts me up & fly's me to where I need to go.  It's Heavenly. I was in the center, to do an orientation with Rose, our new person, for she will be helping out in the center three days a week.  Betty made the chicken sandwiches for me to take out to the front lines for Martha & John & myself. I offered water to everyone & most wanted a bottle of water, I suggested to them to drink it quickly, for if you didn't then it would be to warm to drink, for it was 100 degrees today or maybe it was 96 degrees, it felt like it was 100 degrees, whatever.  We were blessed with a light breeze which helped us to survive.  Thank you Lord for breathing gently on us.

I was at the fence calling to the girls going into Planned Parenthood & then all of a sudden I heard a loud voice say "Mary.....  SHUT UP".  I looked across the street to see the nasty neighbor Jim, who has the condo, across the street from the Planned Parenthood, closest to Windsor St., cup his hands to holler this to me.  I just ignored him & went on calling out to the victims, of Planned Parenthood, to try to save them from death & destruction.  He had nothing better to do, poor neighbor, why don't you just move, for I'm not going away until Planned Parenthood closes.

The two long standing death escorts were there today.  Sylvia Rose & Barry Swan.  They are the two longest deathers to date.  'Evil' doesn't grow tired, either does 'good'.  We, pro lifers, are in it to the end.  I was calling the male death escort "perverted" which his actions apply, for he is approaching the girls cars & leading them into Planned Parenthood, to have their babies killed & for them to be deceived & ruin their lives & souls. This is evil of both the male & female death escorts. Definition of:

Depraved: deviating from what is considered moral or right or proper or good; "a perverted sense of loyalty".

Perversion is a concept describing those types of human behavior that are a serious deviation from what is considered to be orthodox or normal.
Sounds right to me to describe what all the death escorts, abortionist & staff are doing at Planned Parenthood.  Depraved & perverted behavior in killing 'little people'.  One of the pro lifers asked if I could be sued for slander saying this to him.  No, I don't think so, for it applies.  The Truth is the Truth & this is the Truth.

A truck parked in front of the Planned Parenthood's building, right in front of the brick side, in back of another car.  She got out & put some money in the meter & then walked into Planned Parenthood, while walking she gave me the 'bird'.  I said "please don't show me your IQ, for we are here to help you for you are going into a place that kills children".  Off she goes into the building.  She came out about 15 minutes later & I tried to talk to her again & she shows her IQ again for a longer time, this time.  I pleaded with her for she was caring a brown paper bag, which could mean condoms or the Morning after Pill, which acts as an abortificiant which(kills a person earlier on).  I could tell by her 'body language that I was getting no where with her.  She got into her truck & then I heard a noise.  I said to the male pro lifer "I think that she just hit the car that's in front of her, just now".   He said in a nervous voice "that's my car!" & started to run over to see what damage, that had possibly been done, to his car.  I walked over to be with him.  He told her that she just had hit his car & bent over to see if there was any damage done to it.  It didn't look like that there was, thank God.  I had a Truth packet with me & the male pro lifer asked her if she would take it & she said "okay" & took the packet.  I said to her that they are killing children in there & I get a little emotional, as a woman, so forgive me if I was hard on you.  I told her about the Morning after Pill & she said that she was in there for condoms & that they told her that she could get 'free birth control'.  I said that there was a lot of information, in the packet that will educate her about birth control.  She said that her past boyfriend was in jail & they broke up & she need the condoms for her new boyfriend.  Then she said that she was once a Catholic, not sure why she mentioned that but we addressed that too.  The pro lifer said that there was a Rosary in the packet & for her to start to say it & I mentioned for her to go to the Sacrament of Confession.  She smiled a little smile & then said "is everything okay now to the male pro lifer"?  He said that his car was fine.  So she smiled at him & said to him "thanks".  Off she went back into the world a more educated person who now has a 'second chance', with her life & soul.  See how God works, it's amazing!!!

 Wednesday, July 8, 2010 in front in Planned Parenthood

When Martha, John and I arrived to the center I went quickly over to the fence see if the abortionist was there and she was to my disappointment.  I stayed, on the sidewalk & started to talk to someone who was at the entrance of Planned Parenthood.  I spoke to them briefly & then I saw that Bill, had stopped his van & got out & was sprinkling Holy Water on the sidewalk in front of Planned Parenthood.  Then I saw that Tim had stopped his van across the street & was praying.  This was all very good.  After everyone had left I went into the center to tell Martha & John & for them to get outside as soon as possible with the signs & literature box.   A client had come into the Material Aid Room so I said that I would take care of the client if they go outside.  Then Rose, Betty & Maria arrived.  I asked Rose to assist the client & she did.  Betty was putting the food that she had prepared, in the refrigerator.  Can't wait for the barbecue ribs & chicken for later.  Marie went outside to witness on the brick side of the building.  I stayed in the center to give some instructions to Rose & Betty.  I asked if they could make our lunch & for me to take it out to Martha & John for they hadn't eaten yet.  They said that they would.  Thanks so much ladies.  About 15 minutes later I went out, with the freshly made chicken sandwiches with chips, to their delight. 

But before Martha could eat it a couple of girls were walking up the sidewalk, so went up to them to talk to them & then I saw her leading them into the center.  I don't like eating outside but it's better than fainting.  She came out about 15 minutes later hopefully could now eat her lunch but no.  I didn't ask her & she approached another young girl coming up the sidewalk & took her to the center but this time she took her sandwich.  Great idea Martha.  She came out about a 30 minutes later. After she came back I went back into the center to see how things were going.  About 10 minutes later Martha was in the center & with her were a pregnant woman & a man & a beautiful little girl.  She brought them into the Rose Room & the Material Aid Room, for a stroller.  What happened was they went into Planned Parenthood to get some information regarding pre natal doctors & were told, as they were going in, by the death escort  "not to listen to those crazy people out there".  Who are you talking about 'death escort'?  Don't talk about yourself that way.  When they came out Martha interceded & lead them to the Focus Center to assist them.  The pregnant woman told Martha that she was told by the woman at the front desk, in Planned Parenthood,  that all they were doing today were termination's.  My heart was sickened by that comment.  So casual in saying that all they were doing today was ending the lives of innocent, voiceless defenseless children.  How sick, How evil!!!  Martha assisted this family & got her connected to a good doctor who will see her tomorrow morning with her high risk pregnancy.  They went back into the Material Aid Room to get some things for their precious daughter to take with them.  Out the door they go, with their new stroller & very happy that they were well taken care of, in a place that doesn't kill babies.

Martha & I were now back on the front lines & prayed & sidewalk counseled. We took the abuse of the people going in & out of Planned Parenthood.  I spoke to a woman who a young son in the back seat of the car & as she was going into the driveway she said to me "I have a young son in my car".  I said "then you shouldn't be bringing him into this abortion mill".  She got out of her car & came around the bushes to where Martha, John & I were standing.  I prayed t be ready to confront her & there she was right on the sidewalk now.  She said "I ask you not to say anything for my son is with me".  I offered her the Maafa 21: Black Genocide in the 21st. Century, DVD. She said "if I take it then will you not say anything to my son & I when I walk back into the parking lot".  I said "yes, if you take & watch this DVD we'll not say anything to you & your son".  "Okay" she said & she took it & walked back into the parking lot & as she was turning the corner she said "I just want you to know that I agree with you", then left.  We honored her request & they finally left about 20 minutes later.  I only hope & pray that she keeps her promise & watches the DVD.  Amen sister.  Please don't come back to Planned Parenthood again with your son.

A gentleman was walking down the sidewalk & I asked him if he wanted a Rosary, we began to talk & Martha offered him the Maafa 21 DVD & he took it & said that he & his friends will watch it.  Hopefully so, what a surprise it will be for you & your friends.  One DVD at a time to educate & to change the minds of the people, through the grace of God.  Sooner or later someone will get the message that Planned Parenthood is killing off the Black Race & will do something about it in a peaceful way, like organizing a huge protest against Planned Parenthood, held over 100 days, right in front of the building 24/7.  The media would pick up on the story & it would be covered on all local TV channels & the Democrat & (liberal) Chronicle, would do a story on the front page & it would be a fair & balanced article, a page long, telling what Planned Parenthood does, like kills people & not reporting statuary rape & targeting the Black Race (Black Genocide) & are sex perverts, check out their Teen Wire web site, which would make your hair curl.  Where is every one?  I can only dream, & I do.

I went back into the center & I got a call on my cell phone & it was a woman who wanted a pregnancy test.  I told her to come on in & gave her directions to our center.  She arrived about 30 minutes later.  Martha did the pregnancy test & as she was in the Material Aid Room getting some things for her other children, I asked her how she found out about us.  She said that she googled 'free pregnancy tests' & the Focus Pregnancy Help Center & the Place of Hope, came up, she choose us.  She was happy with the results & I was too.  She was a very pleasant woman that didn't believe in destroying 'life'.  What a nice client.  She made my day, that's for sure.

Maria had to go, for an appointment, so supper had to get started.  The ribs & chicken & all the fixings were being microwaved & was being served.  What a meal & thank you Betty.  Her barbecue sauce was sooo good & I asked her for the recipe & she said "if I tell you I'd have to kill you".  I said "that's okay Betty, never mind, not worth dying for".  Everyone has a sense of humor, I guess.  Great meal!  I'll have to do the dishes now.

Thursday, July 9, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood

John & I went to the center after the noon Mass downtown.  John was hungry so I promised him a sandwich as soon as Rose arrived but he was to hungry to wait so he took the plastic container of my home fries with a bottle of ketchup, on the front lines, eating.  I was a little miffed at him that he couldn't wait, like I asked him to, for it didn't look good eating out on the front lines like that, a sandwich is bad enough.  I have to realize that he is giving his time freely & he was hungry.  He said that he only had some juice for breakfast, I only ask if he could add some eggs, bacon & toast with that juice next time.  He was now out there on the front lines & Bill was across the street & the abortionist wasn't there. 

I went over to the fence & I saw that a young girl & guy were standing at the entrance of Planned Parenthood & he was smoking a cigarette.  I called over to them, pleading with them, not to kill their precious baby.  I said everything I could think of saying & they went into the building any how.  I left to go back to the center to see how Rose was doing & to give her directions for the afternoon.  Suzanne & Pat, our new counselor for Monday afternoons, were going to be there at 3pm today due to some appointments.  I couldn't wait for them to come.  When I went back outside I saw that the abortionist had come in, to do her Thursday afternoon killings.  My heart dropped, for I knew that the two young people that I pleaded with earlier, were her first victims, of the afternoon.  I almost cried, I'll have to save it for later. 

John was calling out to the people going into the killing mill.  There was a young girl with very short hair acting as a Death Escort today.  Smiling & greeting her victims leading them to the Door of Death, for their little ones.  I know that I'm wasting my time on the Death Escorts & the workers at Planned Parenthood so, through the grace of God I hope to stop talking to them.  The bible says "not to cast your pearls to swine".  That's what I'm doing.  Besides I'm  probably not acting 'Christ like' at times & I don't want to hurt the Lord anymore than He's being hurt already.  We never curse or swear but I do call begin names, at times at them, but on a whole I tell them to "repent", which I guess is Greek to them, though I have explained it to them on occasion.  What I say is falling on deaf ears.  I know that I'm
angry that they are a part of killing little innocent, precious babies, which God had just created in the wombs of their mothers & that people shouldn't kill kids, let alone it being their own mother.  It will ONLY take God's grace to penetrate their stony hearts, not me.  God be the Glory!

Just then Jerry & Charles showed up to pray, the Rosary, across the street. I went back into the center to get more bottled water & a chicken sandwich for John.  There was Bernie, our landlord, finally fixing the front door so that it would close behind us.  It's taken him 3 months to fix the front door.  Oh well better late than never.  He just trimmed the bushes about a week ago too.  Great job Bernie!  Maybe it's starting to look better where we are, in the corner, of the strip mall.  When David Gantt finally leaves his office, at the end of the strip mall where we are, we'll take his office & our pregnancy center will be more visible to the street & sidewalk.  Can't wait!!!  :)

I went over to Jerry, after he was finished with the Rosary, to ask him if he could paint the Meeting Room, now.  He gave me a hard time first but finally he did it.  He didn't have a good paint brush to work with & he had his good clothes on but other than that he went to work.  Sorry about that. The room has an accented wall a dark green & the rest of the room has a lighter green.  Looks great Jerry & thank you.  Sorry for the short notice.

Suzanne & Pat arrived & Suzanne was training Pat to the work at the center. I just a call, on my cell phone, from the Mercy Outreach Center asking if we could take a client & do a pregnancy teat.  I said "yes, ask her to come on over, does she know where we are located"?  The answer came "yes, she does".  I told Suzanne to expect a client to come in for a pregnancy teat in the next 30 minutes or so.  She did arrive & Suzanne took her into the Rose Room. When the client was in the bathroom I saw that there was Suzanne, Pat & Rose in the room & said "there should be only one person in here". Suzanne smiled & said that they all prayed together & the client said that it was fine to have all three in the room at the same time for the test. Whatever the client says is fine with me.  This is not usually the case but today it was & Suzanne was able to show both Pat & Rose how assist with the pregnancy tests, though we have our clients do the test, we only set up for the test, & the client does the test & reads the test results.  We ask questions to fill out the Client Intake Sheet for our records & to better assist our client with her needs now & in the future.  After the test I was asked if we had any Bus passes & I said "no" but I'd give some money for a bus, for her, but we wanted her to be happy so we called her a cab, in the office right next to ours.  They took her home.  How convenient.

Suzanne & Pat had to leave so Rose started supper & we talked.  First I wanted to go back outside, to see how John was doing, & to have him come in now, for it was passed 4:30pm.  We brought all the signs & the literature box, into the center.  He then worked on some projects, I had for him, in the office. 

While I was out there, on the sidewalk, I noticed that the two young people were now leaving, after being in there for 3 hours.  I spoke to them as they were leaving.  Lord have Mercy on their souls.  I went back into the center & a few minutes later the doorbell rang & it was Memo, who will be doing our spread sheets.  Thanks so much for all your help, I really appreciate it.  I cleaned up the mess in the Meeting Room, for the painter had to leave.  It looks beautiful in there now, so fresh & clean & bright. 

Tuesday 13, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood

When I arrived to the center Bill was there ready to put in the wood shelves in the cabinet that houses our signs & literature packets.  The shelves didn't fit so he'll be back tomorrow with the saw to fix the problem.  As he was in the Material Aid Room working the male pro lifer came in & then Mary S. to get some signs to take outside to start counseling.  Martha was getting ready to go outside too.  I went & got coffee, next door at Macks, for both Martha & Sandy, for they are the coffee drinkers. I went back inside & the doorbell rang & it was a client & her son to receive more children's clothes.  Then the doorbell rang again & it was our client to get the stroller, that just came in, that I promised for her.  It was a blessing to her & she asked for baby wipes & then went into the Material Aid Room to get more things for her young son.  Betty called & said that she was still sick & would come back next Tuesday to help out at the center.  Get well, dear Betty, for we miss you.  Rose who is our new volunteer just came in & Sandy, our Tuesday afternoon volunteer, also came in to start working putting away the baby & children's clothes away that I brought in, that was donated to the center.  Carol came in to get her favorite sign which read 'Planned Parenthood Kills Children' & went outside to witness.  Melody came later & worked on helping in the Material Aid Room & making more Truth packets.  The doorbell rang & it was Mary with her 2 daughters.  They came to help out in the office.  They organized the accumulated papers & brochures that I had.  It was time to ORGANIZE!  Thank you so much for doing that, what a help you all were to me today.  Jerry & Carmen came out to pray, outside the abortion mill, today too.  I was going in & out from the center to the sidewalk. Very busy. 

Tuesday, April 27, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood

 Martha & I arrived to the center after Mass downtown.  When we arrived there Sandy, our Tuesday counselor, was there then along came Mary S. & Donna.  It was all females today no males joined us today.  When I arrived to the front lines I saw that the abortionist, Rachel Phelps wasn't there but you aren't going to trust Planned Parenthood, so we were ready to counsel as everyone was going in for an abortion & take it from there, with the power of the Holy Spirit giving discernment.  We set the sidewalk with the graphic & non graphic signs to witness the Truth.  We have had two women, just in the last two days, say that their babies were saved from being aborted by seeing the graphic signs.  Praise God!!  I noticed that the mega phone wasn't working very well so I went into the center to place the batteries.  While I was in the office I heard that Martha was coming in with a client.  I put the batteries in the mega phone & went into the Material Aid Room to meet the new client.  She was a delightful young woman with a beautiful smile.  She was over at Planned Parenthood to get a pregnancy test & was told that she was pregnant & then said to her "are you planning to terminate this pregnancy"?  She abruptly said to her "no, of course not".  Then she left.  She was walking out of Planned Parenthood & was coming around the bushes & Martha & Donna started to talk to her & then Martha brought her into the center for a baby blanket & some more literature & the Growth & Development DVD of the baby in the womb.  She was delighted.  I asked her to fill out the Intake Sheet, so that Suzanne our counselor on Thursdays, could call her & see how she is doing with her pregnancy.  She said that she had to go to catch the bus but that she would fill it out first.  She said "thank you" & we replied "you are very welcome & the very best to you".  What a joy she was, happy to be pregnant, with no plans of destroying the life that is growing inside her.  What a breath of fresh air.

 Martha & I went back outside to pray & to sidewalk counsel.  I noticed a man with a tape measure.  He was working for the city.  The city were fixing the sidewalks last week so they put down new concrete where we stand, so there was no yellow line now.  I went up to him & asked him if he would measure 15 feet form the entrance of the Planned Parenthood's parking lot.  He said that he would & he did.  I went into the center to get a black Sharpie pen to draw a black line instead of a yellow one.  I didn't want Planned Parenthood to measure & to take us further away from the entrance.  Don't trust Planned Parenthood.  I the noticed the old coot neighbor Jim Bovay, who lives across the street looking at us.  He then decided to come over to us & stand right in front of our faces.  I picked up the phone, just in case I had to use it, & told him to go away from us, for he didn't need to be over here & in our faces causing trouble.  He smirked at me & said that it was his sidewalk too.  I said back to him "you are harassing us & you have no right to do that on your sidewalk".  "You're nuts Mary".  This is his usual reply to me. Good bye Jim.  He walked back over to his condo, across the street, & went in & closed the door.  Good boy.  Some people never change, I do hope he does, for he will be surprised when he dies.

 Melody had just arrived to help out in the center.  I gave her my keys & asked her if she would please empty my car, for I had many bags of clothes & things in it, for the Material Aid Room, to be put away.   I told her that Sandy was working, on cleaning the new chairs that we just received, by a generous person.  We are trying to get ready for the first Mass, in the center this year, on this Saturday, May 1st. at 11am.  May is the Blessed Mother's month.   Much to do!!

 Martha & I were now alone on the sidewalk for Mary S. & Donna had to go.  I took the mega phone & went to the fence & saw a young guy coming out of Planned Parenthood.  I told him what is going on in this place of death.  Then between the bashes I saw that he was walking over to Martha & I.  He came around the bushes & sat down on the bench with his cigarette in his mouth.  Comfort weed, so they think. He began to talk, asking why we were bothering these people.  I said to educate them for they are killing little babies in there.  Then he began to say all the wrong things.  He exclaimed that it wasn't a baby it was just an Embryo, with no rights because it isn't a baby, free to dispose of at will.  How sad.  He asked me if I was a foster home child.  I said no but I was a abused home child.  I then said to him that he was saying that unless everything was great for the child he or she should die if it didn't look to good for him or her.  I said then we all should be dead then.  There is no one living that has a perfect life.  He said that his mother had an abortion.  I said that I am sorry for your loss of your brother or sister.  He smirked & said to me that "it was only an Embryo".  Oh brother, how very sad is this case.  I said to him that I was raped & molested & an incest survivor & he got up & left, right away & went back into Planned Parenthood.  See dear man, no one's life is perfect, but life is precious never the less. 

We had many people who gave us a 'good honks' as they passed us by, on the street.  We also had many people stop to receive information & Rosaries to take with them, to grow closer to the dear Lord, who loves them. We had a woman who stopped to talk with us & told us that she had an abortion many years ago & regretted it so very much.  Martha gave her a Post Abortive booklet to take with her to get the help & healing that she needs.  I told her that the priest, Fr. Vinney, that helped her to 'Chose Life' 25 years ago, when she was thinking about having another abortion, was the Pastor of Our Lady of the Americas Church, up the street on East Main St..  She said that she wants to go & thank him for saving her daughter's life, 25 years ago at St. Michael's Church, in the city.  She smiled & off she went up the street a happier person.

    I looked up the street & a young girl was walking towards us.  I walked up to her & asked if we could help her.  She said that she was going to Planned Parenthood for a pregnancy test.  I said to her "come follow me".  I said that we could do a free pregnancy test, in our center, next to this yellow building.  I asked Martha to go with her & off they went into the center.  Martha came back about 5 minutes later & said that Sandy, our counselor, was going to take over.  I went into the center to see if I could help.  She wasn't pregnant, so I gave her some more information that pertained to her situation & Sandy gave her Abstinence counseling.  I went back to the front lines. 

Melody came out a little later & wanted to go over to the brick side of the Planned Parenthood building to use the mega phone & to sing the pro life song that she wrote & recorded to help others.  She did a beautiful job.  The wind was blowing our signs all over the place & it was now about 5pm so we went into the center to do our work in there.  I had to make some phone calls & do some paperwork.  Martha & Melody were working in the Material Aid Room, putting more things away.  I called Pat the grandmother, who fights for the lives of her great grandbabies, from being killed by abortion, & told her that I had her $200 for her that was given by a generous donor.  She said that she was coming over for she had to be careful for she had sprained her ankle.  Oh no!!  Poor Pat.  She came about 10 minutes later to get the money, formula for baby Akira, our little preemie baby who is 15 lbs. now.  She picked up some baby clothes too.  As I was talking to her the doorbell rang.  I walked over to the door & there were 2 familiar people standing there.  I said that we were closed but she insisted to come in to get some things, so I said "okay come on in".  Martha took over & was with them in the Material Aid Room.  They come regularly & usually get quit a few things.    I went back to talk to Pat some more.  She looks tired & we try to help make her load lighter by God's grace.  She was grateful & said that she would be here for the Mass on Saturday morning.  Very good Pat, see you then.  She limped back to the car, with her friend, who came in to help her with the bags of baby clothes & diapers.   

We then got supper ready tonight.  It was just the three of us girls, Martha, Melody & Mary (me).  We had fried eggplant with Rigatoni & a lettuce salad with blue cheese dressing & corn bread.  For desert we had Martha's famous chocolate cake with chocolate frosting  No diets here.  We cleaned up & Melody made up some more Truth packets for the front line ministry & for the center's ministry too.  We went home around 9:30pm.  A day well done, by the grace & love of the Lord, only to be back tomorrow again to 'fight the good fight'.    

I met Anne who had her adopted daughter Mary, from China, with her at Mass today.  They came back with me to the center. As I was pulling in the driveway to the center I noticed that Maria was standing on the brick side of the building of Planned Parenthood holding her sign that read "I REGRET MY ABORTION".  I waved at her & went into the center to show Anne around & to talk with her for awhile.  It was about 12:40pm & I was expecting Martha there around 1pm so I wasn't worried.  Anne said good bye  & then I went to the sidewalk to say to Maria & o tell her that I would be right out but when I turned the corner she wasn't there.  I looked in the parking lot & saw that the abortionist was there for her dark blue car was parked by the back door.  It made me sick & I wanted to get out on the sidewalk as soon as I could.  I went back into the center wondering where Martha was & why did Maria go before her 2 hours were up?  I started to put the food away & went on to make 2 ham sandwiches for Martha & I for lunch.  As I was finished making up the sandwiches the doorbell rang & went to answer it & there was Maria standing there.  I said "what happened Maria where did you go"?  She said that she left to go Subway to get a sandwich.  I said that I was making sandwiches for Martha & I for I didn't have time to make them at home this morning for I was running late for church.  So it made sense to me to eat my sandwich with Maria instead of eating I outside on the front lines.  As I was finishing the sandwich my cell phone rang.  I answered the phone thinking that it was Martha calling to say that she wasn't coming today but it wasn't Martha it was a woman who told me that her friend's daughter was going to have an abortion at Planed Parenthood at 1pm.  What!  It was now 1:20pm, my heart sank & I felt sick.  I asked her why she didn't call me earlier & she said that she just found out & her friend told her to call the Focus Center to intervene.  I said I needed to go & then hung up.  I dropped everything & went out to the sidewalk with the literature box & one sign & the mega phone.  No one was going in so I just hollered to everyone who was in Planned Parenthood already.  I went over to the brick side of the building so I could be closer to the waiting room.  I then saw Martha walking up the sidewalk & used the mega phone to tell her what just happened. She went back into he center to get the Our Lady of Guadeloupe sign & the picture of Jesus holding the aborted baby crying.  The wind was blowing so hard that we couldn't putout any more signs today.  I called out saying that we could help everyone & that abortion was taking a life & that the baby's heartbeat was taking place just 18 to 20 days after conception & so on.  After about an half hour I went back over to be with Martha & told her that I was going into the center to see if Maria was still there.  She said okay & that she would be fine out there alone. I went into the center & saw that Maria was there sitting at the desk folding up our new brochures.  I said "thank you Maria" & spoke with her for a few minutes then left.  She said that got to the sidewalk around 12 noon & stayed until 12:45pm to go to get a sandwich.  I said that there was a good chance that the girl that I got the phone call about saw you holding your sign & went back home, without having an abortion.  That could have happen I said to her.  Maria said that she felt lead to go out to the sidewalk early today.  Praise God!!  I went back outside to be with Martha.  A few minutes later I saw 3 young girls walking up the street going towards Planned Parenthood on the brick side of the building.  Martha flagged them over towards us.  They walked over to us & I lead them to the center to talk to Maria who is African American & so were the girls, so they could relate to one another.  I rang the doorbell to give Maria a heads up & then brought the 3 girls into the center.  Maria brought the girls into the new Rose Room for counseling & a pregnancy test for one of the girls.  I turned on the TV which had a DVD in it that showed the pictures of a baby in the womb.  It is an excellent DVD that Father C. burned for us.  I set up the pregnancy test for Maria & gave the girls the Truth packets, for each of them then left for Maria to counsel.  I went back to the front lines  to be with Martha.  The wind was blowing her away at times.  She said that the sign she was holding blew up the street a ways but she retrieved it.  She also said that she handed out 2 Truth packets to 2 girls that were walking out of Planned Parenthood & spoke to the girls for a short time.  About a half an hour later we saw that the 3 girls were walking up the sidewalk & as they passed us on the sidewalk they said to Martha & I that they wanted to volunteer.  We said that would be great & that we will be on the sidewalk again tomorrow from 1-5pm.  "Okay" they said with smiles on their faces & then walked up the street towards E. Main St., probably to catch the bus.  They were so young.   Great job Maria!!  As we were talking to the girls Maria was driving by & gave us a honk to say good bye.  See you next week my friend. 

The school bus driver passes us by, when we are out there on the front lines & gives us a honk & a wave & so do some of the children on his bus.  It's great to experience the love.  A young woman was coming out of Planned Parenthood & I called over to her from the fence by the bushes.  I noticed that she was coming over to Martha & I, so I told Martha to get ready.  Just then the woman arrived from around the bushes & stopped to talk to us.  The first thing she said was "why are you hollering at these girls most of them are hear for contraceptives".  I then said to her that some contraceptives can cause an early abortion .  I then offered her the Truth packet to which she replied that she was a medical student & she didn't need it.  I then said to her that that was scary for me to hear that a medical student didn't want to learn the truth about something that is pertaining to medicine & that if you become a doctor I don't want you to take of me.  Well how's that for an ear full.  After that scolding she seemed to change her attitude towards what Martha & I were trying to tell her. She then said that it scares the girls when we holler & for us to go into Planned Parenthood to talk to the staff & look around.  Gulp, my stomach turned around inside me.  I then said  Planned Parenthood has tried to sue us that for they are the ones that have put up the bushes & made the Yellow Line, on the sidewalk, for us not to cross over to be able to speak calmly to the people going into Planned Parenthood, to be lied to & deceived & to have their babies killed.  They don't want the girls to know the truth & to get the right kind of help for them.  We have a pregnancy center right next to this yellow building & I pointed over to where we are located & at the center we help our clients with free pregnancy test & counseling, referrals & free baby & children clothes.  We don't kill, they do.  She said that she agreed to that we were doing at the center.  Martha mentioned that abortion is against God's law that says "Thou shall not kill", she also agreed to that statement, for she seemed to know God.  Then the medical student said "I have spoken to Rachel Phelps, who is the abortionist at Planned Parenthood, & she is a nice person & thinks that she is doing good".  I quickly replied saying "no she is not a good person for a good person would not take a life, & that you don't do an evil to bring forth a good, she is greatly misguided & we pray that she will stop killing babies & do good with her degree".  She seemed to understand so much more then she did when she first arrived on the sidewalk.  I then took a chance & re offered her the Truth packet & said to her that it would make me very happy if she took it.  She smiled & reached out her hand to take it.  I got greedy so I offered her the DVD of Growth & Development, in the womb, & included in the case was the Maafa21:Black Genocide in the 21st Century DVD & also our Focus Center brochure & the rubberized 12 week old baby.  She took it all.  WOW!!  Praise God for the grace for her to turn around.  Now she is an educated medical student & I told her that I would not mind being her patient.  She smiled again.  Martha asked her her name & she said it was Julia.  So when she was leaving we both said "good bye Dr. Julia" & she waved as she was leaving the parking lot of Planned Parenthood.  What an experience this was this afternoon. 

   

A car stopped on the street & the woman driver hollered out the window "do you have any of those beads, meaning the Rosary"?  Martha said "yes we do & we have baby clothes too for your baby, so turn around & come follow me".  She turned her car around & followed Martha into the parking lot to the center & then to the Material Aid Room.  She helped them to get some nice things.  One of the young girls then asked for a pregnancy test, so Martha gave her a pregnancy test.  Then the other woman said that she will come back another time to get a pregnancy test.  Martha said "that's fine we will be here".  They both received a Truth packet & some Rosaries & some nice things for the cute little baby girl.  They left saying "thank you" to Martha.  Then Martha came back to the front lines & Tucker had just arrived for his 4-6pm shift.  A few minutes later, a woman with two children, a boy & a girl about 6 & 7 years of age came from behind the bushes.  We approached her & offered a pregnancy test.  She made it sound like that she needed one & we lead her into the center for one.  But once she got to the center she changed her mind & wanted condoms.  Martha told her that we don't hand out condoms & she told her the truth about them.  I came in to the room & heard what they were talking about & then went to the counseling room to get her brochures about condoms, to educate her.  She also picked up a few things for her children then left.  After she left Martha clued me in that she wanted condoms & not the literature talking about them.  Martha educated her the best way she could & she did take the brochures, so we felt that there was a job well done, though she left a bad taste in Martha's mouth, it was probably her attitude.  Hope all goes well for her & that she doesn't have anymore sex outside of marriage, that will affect the lives of her 2 precious children, that she is responsible for.  Martha went back outside to be with Tucker & I went into the Material Aid Room to start to put things away, that I had in my car, from the second hand store that dropped them off in my garage to bring to the center for our clients.  It was mostly baby & children clothes.  Martha & I re-arranged the shelves & straightened up the room to make it look attractive for our clients.  I was overwhelmed so I went outside to ask Martha to come in to help me. Tucker said that he was fine out here by himself witnessing & praying for the end to abortion.  Martha & I worked for awhile then stopped to eat & then resumed our work until about 9pm then left to go home.  What a day!!

Thursday, April 29, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood

The abortionist was there at Planned Parenthood & so was the Death Escort, how sad.  Martha & I & Bill who witnesses across the street, were all ready, by the grace of God, to fight the good fight.  We sent up the sidewalk with graphic signs, to witness the Truth, & to help people change their lives.  A young girl came over to us & Martha brought her to the Material Aid Room for baby clothes.  The mom was a happy woman after she was blessed with many nice things.  Martha came back out on the sidewalk, to be with me, who was sidewalk counseling.  The cars, diving by were mostly nice, giving us a good honk & waiving to us. I think that we give some people a good feeling that someone cares to help the victims of Planned Parenthood.  We were giving people Rosaries, on the sidewalk, as they passed by us & we heard their stories, which some of them were painful to hear.  We would then give them literature that could help them to heal.  Just then Suzanne had arrived at the center which is always a good thing.  Now we just have to ring the doorbell & she will answer & take it from there, so that Martha & I can go back to the sidewalk, to help more people that are lied to, by Planned Parenthood.  About 20 minutes later Melody showed up to help out in the Material Aid Room & to make up some Truth packets that we need.  She loves to make up these packets.  In the meantime, Suzanne our Thursday counselor, started to call our clients, that are going to deliver & that have delivered, to see how they are doing, & to see if we can help them in any way. What a blessing she is to us.  We found out that one of our clients, needs a double stroller for her two small children, who chose life last year.  So now we try to see if we can get that for her, by asking our generous email list of people, if they could help us.  They usually come through.  What a blessing they are to our ministry.  Team work!! 

Martha & I ate a quick peanut butter sandwich & I went over to Mack's, who has the T shirt store next store to our center, to get Martha a cup of hot coffee.  She likes her coffee.  We try not to eat on the front lines but really have to in order to keep on going.  We try to be discreet.  Jerry showed up to pray on the brick side of the building.  He usually prays on his knees.  Then the Death Escort Sylvia Rose comes into the parking lot of Planned Parenthood, my heart drops.  She is one of the oldest & deadest Death Escorts that come out in front of Planned Parenthood to escort the victims into this 'Hell Hole' to ruin their lives.

 I went back into the center to see how things were going with Melody & Suzanne & to see if they needed any help or question answered.  All was fine in the center.  I went back outside to sidewalk counsel & Martha & Jerry were saying the Rosary.  It was 3pm & this is the Hour of Divine Mercy.  So we all gathered together to say the Chaplet of Divine Mercy prayers.  The prayers last about 10 minutes & are so very powerful.  After the prayers Bill left.  I decided to bring out the radio & to listen to the CD of Christian music.  I played it loudly, for I wanted people to hear the words of the songs.  If someone calls the police I will then turn it down, not until.  I spoke to some young guys that were waiting in their cars, which always makes me  feel uncomfortable, for maybe their girlfriends are in there having an abortion. 

Suzanne came out to say good bye & told me a few things before leaving.  Martha & I stayed about an hour later & it was around 5pm & we started to bring the signs & things back into the center.  When Martha came back she told me that a jubilant mother came to the Focus Pregnancy Help Center, just now, telling Martha that her 9 month baby girl was saved from being aborted last year & that she wanted us to know that she had her baby & didn't go through with the abortion & wanted to thank Martha & I.  Back in 2009, she was going into Planned Parenthood for an abortion, & was stopped by us on the sidewalk, & we talked her out of going in to have her baby killed.  We also brought her into the Focus Center to further assist her that day.  She came to tell us with a big smile on her face & to pick up some formula for her baby Jayla, who was born last August, through the grace of God.  PRAISE GOD THAT THIS MOTHER 'CHOSE LIFE' !!  I thought that you would like to know & rejoice in this great news along with us.  I was happy to hear this terrific news, when Martha came back to the sidewalk, I only wish that I could have talked to this young girl too.  She knows where we are to help little Jayla with baby clothes & some other things too.  What a blessing!! 

Just then the abortionist, Rachael Phelps, was leaving.  I felt a big pit in my stomach.  I called out to her to stop killing babies, that she could get help from the Centurions, a group of former abortionist that have repented & stopped doing abortions.  She just looked over at me with a blank look on her face & drove away, down the street.  Please Lord change her heart & mind & that she will stop killing your children.  Amen

 

Martha & I & Melody were now in the center working on many things & after awhile we all sat down to a fine supper & conversation.  What are friends for :)

 Saturday, May 1, 2010 at the Focus Pregnancy Help Center

Fr. Paul Gitau, Parochial Administrator at the Immaculate Conception Church celebrated the Mass at the Focus Pregnancy Help Center this morning at 11am.  It was well attended & was so beautiful a celebration.  Father gave a beautiful homily on pro life issues & the effects of abortion on to mother.  Pat, our grandmother of four & great grandmother of two babies, gave her testimony after Mass.  People came up to her after Mass to offer her assistance & one woman interviewed her for an article in her local newspaper, where she has done human interests stories before.  It was so good to see Jose, for I haven't seen him in awhile, he is on the Board of Focus, but he is busy going to school plus working full time & being a husband & father. I'm tired just writing this all out.  It was good to catch up with some of the people I haven't seen in awhile.

 The pizza man was late so people were eating desert first which was blueberry pie, spice cake with cream cheese frosting, pina colada cake, chocolate cupcakes & of course brownies.  Yummy!  Finally the pizza & wings came & the delivery man said that he was stopped by the police, I guess for speeding.  I hope it wasn't because of our pizza.  They knocked $3.00 off the price, which was a deal.  The pizza & wings were a hit, thank God.  Worth waiting for.  Martha had made her famous macaroni salad & that tied us over too, before the pizza came.  Anne had brought us a fairly new computer given to us by my former boss which is her husband.  They will deliver us a refrigerator this coming week for the center.  How nice of the Orlando's.  We were blessed with a good monetary collection for the work of the center.  We are blessed with generous people to help us.  The  Landlord came by for the rent & I asked him if I could get a $30 reduction for buying the paint, for the counseling room.  He said "yes".  Thank you Lord for melting his heart.  There was great conversation & a happy time, in the love, of friends.  I showed the people the new Rose Room & they all loved it.  After everyone had left & there was only Martha & Pat & I left, I took some time to talk to Pat.  Martha then went into the bathroom & was there for awhile when Pat had said loudly to Martha if she was okay.  Martha replied "no".  I went to the door of the bathroom & Martha came out.  She said that she was very dizzy & had vomited.  Oh no!  She went & sat on the sofa to get her barrens & Pat & I tried to comfort her.  She finally said that she was feeling better but needed to go home.  I understand poor Martha.  After she left I again sat down to talk to Pat again & then I gave her some things, for her two great grandbabies, given to Pat from Anne.  It was diapers & formula.  I gave Pat all the leftover deserts to take home to her family, which I know they would enjoy, especially her grandson Aaron, who is a growing boy.  After Pat had left, my friend in the Taxi company, which is located in the room next to the office, & asked me if he could help me.  I quickly said "yes".  He put back the chairs & vacuumed & washed the dishes.  I said that I would wash the dishes & he said "I know how to wash dishes".  Tickabu, do you have a brother?  The Taxi company is owned by nice people from Ethiopia.  What a blessing they are to us.  What a beautiful morning & afternoon, in the Lord.  Hope that you feel better dear Martha.  Off I went for the 4:30pm Mass.  I went back after Mass to do some more things at the center & then I went over to my friends house, to babysit.

Monday, May 3, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood

I'm not usually there, on the front lines in front of Planned Parenthood, but God had another plan today.  I got an email the night before that a young woman was scheduled to have an abortion at 10:30am so my plan was to be out on the sidewalk to try to talk with her & everybody else going into Planned Parenthood, this morning.  When I awoke this morning I went to my computer at home & saw that there was a message regarding this young girl. She was now scheduled, for an abortion, at an abortion facility in Bativia, which I wasn't aware taht there was one there.  My prayers went to God & so did all the fantastic people that I had emailed yesterday to pray for her & all women & girls doing for abortions, that their hearts & minds would be changed by Almighty God's grace. 

 I had made an appointment for Chris, my friend from the place that I used to work for, to come to the center to install our new computer that was given to us by my former boss.

 

When I arrived to the center & quickly went over to see if the abortionist was there, she was not.  I breathed a sign of relief.  I went into the center to wait for Chris, opening all the rooms to the center but then decided to go out to the front lines to witness.  First I spoke to a young girl driving out of the parking lot telling her what Planned Parenthood does to little babies.  She said that she wasn't here for that she was here for Birth Control.  I told her quickly what Birth Control can do to her & her baby if a child was fertilized.  She acknowledged my remarks & then sped away.  I then told the next car driving out of the parking lot what this place does to babies.  I then went back into the center to get a bag of Truth packets & the rubberized babies at 12 weeks, some DVD's, a graphic sign, the mega phone & then went back outside.  

Then I saw a young Black girl walking down the sidewalk on the brick side of the building so I tried to flag her over to me who was on the side where the bushes are.  I offered her the Truth packet & she said something but it was hard to hear from that distance.  Just then I heard a honk & looked over to see that it was Maria, who is an African American counselor at the Focus Center, she comes once in awhile but when she does it's powerful.  I waved back to her wishing that she would stop to help me.  My prayers got answered real fast.  There she was turning around & parking at the brick side of Planned Parenthood where this girl was standing.  I went over to greet her & to give her a heads up on the situation.  Maria approached the girl to tell her that abortion was wrong.  She said to Maria & I  "I've got a child & I have had an abortion & if I get pregnant again I would abort that baby too".  So also said that  if her young sister ever gets pregnant she would kick her stomach in.  Oh so rough & tough.  It sounds horrible, which it is, but you really know that she is in so much pain from her past abortion & she is lashing out.  I handed her a Truth packet which she took & then I  was planning to go back into the center, to wait for Chris to set up our new computer, so I was going to leave her to talk with Maria, for Maria is post abortive x2 & she would be able to counsel her, in getting the help that she really needs.  She holds her sign, on the sidewalk, that reads "I REGRET MY ABORTIONS".  It is powerful message for people to see & hopefully change their minds if they were planning on killing their babies. 

But just before I was to go back into the center a man got out of his car & approached us on the sidewalk.  He handed me a picture of a man & a woman smiling & two children, both girls, on their laps smiling.  He then went on to tell me the story.  The mother was pregnant & the tests indicated that she was carrying a baby with dwarfism.  The doctors in England wanted her to abort her precious daughter & she couldn't find a doctor that would take her pregnancy on without suggesting for her to have an abortion until she finally found a good doctor that cared for her during her pregnancy, that didn't suggest for her to have an abortion.  The grandfather of this wonderful family wanted me to have this precious picture to witness to people that are abortion minded.  The man walked back to his car & said to me that it was hard for him to let go of that picture.  I said that I would take care of it always & that it will save many lives.  What a wonderful man & his family, who are such a blessing.  Thank you Lord for this precious child that you gave this loving family.  It was God's perfect gift.

I went into the center to give instruction to Chris, my IT friend, who was going to set up the new computer for me.  It was so good to see him, for it's been awhile.   He looks good & got a new job & will start next week.  Good for you Chris.  After I answered all his questions & we got reacquainted again I left to go back outside to be with Maria who was alone on the front lines, which isn't good.  When I got back to her we saw that a young man was walking out of Planned Parenthood towards us who were at the brick side of the building.  We offered him information & he came over to talk to us.  He said that his girlfriend was in there for a pregnancy test & wanted a baby & they didn't believe in abortion.  I told him that Planned Parenthood does & if she's pregnant they will offer her to terminate, which means to kill your baby.  I said that we at the Focus Center do free pregnancy tests & that we were located right next to this big yellow building.  I gave a Truth packet & told him not to give it to anyone in there if they ask to take it.  He said "thank you & no I won't give it to anyone & I'm going back in there to talk to my girlfriend".  Maria & I said "okay, we are here for you & your girlfriend".  Then he walked back into Planned Parenthood.  Two young girls were walking into Planned Parenthood & we tried to speak to them but they wouldn't stop to talk to us.  How sad.  After about 10 minutes I told Maria that I had to go back into the center to check on Chris & she said that's fine.  When I got back into the office Chris was transferring the files on to the new computer.  I went next store to Mack's to get Chris a cup of coffee.  I placed it on the desk, for Chris, when the doorbell rang. 

I went to the door to see that it was that young man & he was with a young girl.  I opened the door & he said that she needed a pregnancy test.  I looked at her & she said "I need a pregnancy test & if it's positive I want an abortion".  I was in shock, for I thought he told me that his girlfriend wasn't abortion minded but wanted a baby?  I looked at her & said "oh no you don't want to have your baby killed, lets do a pregnancy test".  Then the young man said that he needed to get back to his girlfriend who's still in Planned Parenthood.  I looked puzzled & said "isn't this young lady your girlfriend'?  He said "no she was just in the waiting room over there & I told her to come over here to get a pregnancy test & she came".  Oh!!  Off he goes & then I take this young girl into the Rose Room.  She did the pregnancy test & it was negative & she quickly said that she really wasn't going to have an abortion if it was positive".  Thank God that we will never really know.  I gave her our DVD & literature packet & added more information for her.  Then I gave her a doctors list & she chose one of the doctors, to see that afternoon, to get testing for STD's.  She got an early afternoon appointment & was very grateful for the assistance & said thank you & gave me a big smile.  It was my pleasure to help her & if she need my help again please either call or email me or stop by again the hours are on the door.  Off she went & I felt good.  I peaked my head in the office to see how Chris was doing & then cleaned up the Rose Room.  A few minutes later the doorbell rang & it was this nice young man again with another young girl, boy can he recruit!  This time it was his girlfriend.  She wanted to repeat the pregnancy test which she did & then I gave her a Truth packet & more literature & our DVD.  I counseled her for a few minutes & answered her questions.  The young man wasn't in the room he went back outside.  About 10 minutes later the doorbell rang & it was this same man, I though to pick up his girlfriend, but first he said to me that he had talked to a girl who was at Planned Parenthood & was going to have an abortion this week, her mother was making her, & she was crying.  He said that she was walking up Gibbs St. probably to get a bus on Main St.., I walked over to see that she was so far away, for me to reach her, so I said to this 'White Knight' "go run & give her this package of information & save her baby"!!  He did, he ran like the wind & he caught up with her to talk to her & to give her the packet of information. It also had the rubberized 12 week old baby & the growth & development chart on the back of the card, in the literature bag.  He came back into the center about 5 minutes later saying that he wanted to work for me.  I said "you have a job".  He smiled.  He joined his girlfriend in the Rose Room & I went back in & spoke with them for a few more minutes & then we all said good bye.  I thanked him again for all that he did this morning in 'saving lives'.  I think that he felt real good about himself too.  Thank you Lord!!  What a morning & I never come on Monday mornings, maybe I should. 

After they left I peaked my head outside to see if Maria was okay & she waved at me indicating that she was fine so I went back into the center to see how Chris was doing.  He also was doing fine & was please with our new gift from our former boss, Matt.  I wanted to go to go to Mass at 12:10pm & it was now about 11:45am when the doorbell rang.  I went to the door to see a woman standing there.  I opened the door & said 'hello, can I help you"?  She answered back to me "the lady outside said that you do free pregnancy tests & I would like one".  I replied "yes, come follow me".  I led her to the Rose Room & she filled out the Intake Sheet, like all the clients do, & I got the test ready for her to take.  She did & she was negative so I spent a few minutes teaching her abstinence & chastity & gave her specific pieces of literature to read that would help you to achieve her goal.  I also gave her the Truth packet with has a Rosary in every packet.  She thanked me & off she went.  I said good bye to Chris & thanked him & gave him a big hug & off I went to Mass.  As I was leaving I waved good bye to Maria up the street.  She said earlier that she will be back next month to counsel in the center & to be out on the street to witness.  Great Maria, we'll miss you.  What a morning, in less than 3 hours, I gave 3 pregnancy tests & counseled & gave away a lot of literature & I believe, in my heart, one life saved, through the grace of God.  Yeah!!  I need to descern if the Lord wants me or someone else to be there, on the sidewalk in front of Planed Parenthood, on Monday mornings?  My goal, which is my prayer, is to have someone there, all the times that Planned Parenthood is open, from 7:30am to 7pm, Monday through Friday.  Please Lord please sent in your troops!!

Tuesday, May 4, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood

Martha, John, Jerry & I got to the center after Mass & Sandy was already there waiting to be let in.  I asked her if she could get the things, that were in my car that needed to be sorted out, in the Material Aid Room.  I gave her my car keys after I opened up all the rooms in the center.  Martha & John were getting the sign & mega phone & signs to take to the front lines to witness.  I was planning to join them but I never was able to get out to the front lines until about 3:30pm for I & Sandy & later on Melody, when she arrived, were keep very busy, in the center today. 

 

I saw that a woman had walked into the center from outside, for we have a landlord that won't fix anything, so the door doesn't catch behind anyone who is leaving unless they shut the door tight which they usually don't.  So anyone can walk in at in any time.  I saw that she was heading to the Material Aid Room so I figured that she had been here before. I put what I was doing down & went into the room to assist her.  She said that she needed something for her young child & I said "sure, get what you need".  She then said that her baby was saved from being aborted through this ministry.  A man with a beard had spoken to her, last year on the sidewalk, when she was headed to Planned Parenthood for an abortion.  He told her that she was carrying a baby & not a clump of tissue & that abortion was taking a life created by God.  She said that he gave her information & helped her a great deal.  She was convicted & went back home & had her baby when it was time to deliver.  She was so very grateful to him, for she loves her baby so much. Then she said that her adoptive niece was 13 years old & is pregnant & the guy was 26 years old & that she wanted to get an abortion.  I said that we could help her & she said that she wants to bring her into the center to talk to me.  I said bring her in anytime & then gave her lots of information & our DVD & then the Bella DVD to take with her.  I suggested to her that she calls the police about this situation so that they could catch this guy & prosecute him for statuary rape of a minor.  She said that she will consider it for she didn't want to drive her for an abortion for she was protective of this older man.  I said that we would support her in any way that we can. She said "thank you'.  She was done shopping & requested a highchair for her child.  I told her that I would try, to the best of my ability, to get one for her. I felt so happy that she 'chose life' last year but was worried that her niece might not.  I will be happy to help her. 

My intention was to go outside to join the others but that just didn't happen. The doorbell rang & it was Donna, she needed to get something's in the room to take outside.  I talked with her for a few minutes & then she left to go outside to join the others.  I know that Mary S. usually arrives around 1pm & prayers on the sidewalk until 2pm when she has to go back to work.  I didn't see her yet so I assumed that she was out on the front lines & that she didn't need to come in for anything.  I was happy to know that there were 5 pro lifers outside praying & witnessing the Truth to the people. 

I heard Martha's voice & then went into the hallway to see that Martha was bringing someone into the Material Aid Room.  I told her that I would take over so she could go back outside to be with the others.  I led the young woman into the room to get some thing for her baby.  She was delighted to see so many nice things & I told her to take what she needed.  She was thrilled.  Her child was so cute so I kept my eye on her so her mom could shop without worrying.  Sandy was busy in the office making up some new packets for the team outside so that they would have enough to pass out. 

After the mom left I was thinking of going outside to be with the others when the doorbell rang.  I walked over to the door to see that Donna was there with a young girl & a young child & another young girl.  I opened the door & Donna said to me, & I almost dropped over, that this young girl wanted an abortion & if I could talk to her.  Please Lord let me say the right things to save this precious baby's life.  I introduced myself to her & led her into the Rose Room.  I asked the other young girl, who I found out quickly that was her sister, if she could watch this young child while I spoke with this young lady.  She said that she would.  I brought her into the Rose Room praying all the way down the hall t say the right things.  I closed the door & began to speak.  I showed her the DVD of Growth & Development that we play on the DVD in the Rose Room to educate.  Then I showed her pictures of abortion & the aborted babies that lost their lives through this total rejection of their mothers.  She was surprised to learn so much.  She said that Planned Parenthood was not going to use the RU 486 pills but the Suction Abortion procedure.  I showed her a picture of what would happen to the baby with this procedure.  She was appalled at such a sight.  I gave her a Truth packet & also some other pieces of literature & also the cherry on top I gave her the Bella movie to take with her to watch.  I called Compass Care to make an appointment for her to get a free ultrasound of her baby.  She was smiling & so was I.  I opened the door to find her boyfriend in the hallway along with her sister & her baby & her grandmother.  I spoke to them all & encouraged them to be supportive of her.  They agreed.  Thank you for the grace dear Lord to change hearts & minds.  As they were leaving I again reminded them to watch the movie Bella.  All their worries can change in a flash but you can't put the baby back again once you've torn him or her apart.  Life changes so trust in the Lord who loves you.  For the Bible says that "He careth for you".  I was so happy that they were driving to go home & not to Planned Parenthood to kill.  Donna told me later that as they passed her on the sidewalk she hollered out her window that she changed her mind & chose life.  Thank you Lord & Praise you!  I took a deep breathe & walked back into the office to see how Sandy was coming with the packets.  She had made up quite a few so I said that I would go out to give them to the warriors on the sidewalk.  I walked over to the pro lifers when Martha told me that they had to call the police on someone who came into the parking lot of Planned Parenthood hollering "I'm going to kill & there's nothing you can say or do to change my mind".  Lord have Mercy.  The girl & guy came over to John & got into his face & took a packet then throw it at him.  Mary S. called the police & four police cars came to talk to the kid who was outside standing by his car smoking a cigarette. 

This is Mary S.'s report on the incident, that she emailed me later on: 

 

I went straight to the sidewalk as  I parked in the street today and the signs were out thanks to John, Donna, Jerry and Martha. I just wanted to let you know that I called the police today because of the excitement surrounding John.  He was using free speech and a group was angry and started cursing.  It went back and forth a little then a woman got really hot and got in his face pointing her finger.  I was actually on the other side of the building today but saw the whole thing develop, Jerry was across the street facing the PP exit (all could see his sign and crucifix) they saw us all left, right and center and there was  a lot of traffic.  Anyway, back to John.  The woman started to get physical and touched John, jabbing and finally throwing the packet into the street. Two other women came over and finally with the commotion (caused by them) the young man came tearing around the corner but it did not appear that he touched John. Since there were four of them and I did not know how bad it would get,  I called 911. The young man glanced at me and I felt he knew what I was doing. I calmly asked the operator for a police drive-by as I explained that  a Planned Parenthood patron was getting physical with a protester on the street. Two police cars came and went directly into the parking lot. No one came over to any of us.  Believe it or not, three more cops showed up, all going in to the parking lot. We all kept back to a legal position so I don't know if the police spoke to anyone ( maybe Jerry knows)?  No they didn't I found out later. They left and then I had to leave. When I left, John was still in the center probably having told you ( Mary) what happened. I told Martha that I was concerned about when the group leaves that they might get crazy again and the police had left. I just wanted you to know and I pray that all protesters stay safe. I have to say John sure kept his composure and it helped that Martha had sprinkled blessed salt on the sidewalk where he stood.

I looked over by the fence to see if the abortionist was there but I didn't see her dark blue car.  Instead there was a tan car parked there.  I knew that the client, I just spoke with, was going in for an abortion until Donna offered her sister a Truth packet & a rubberized 12 week old baby, which witnessed to her & this guy, who Mary S. called the police on, was there too.  The abortionist had a 'killer substitute' today.  How sad, how evil.  I took the graphic sign & went over to the fence & offered them help & then said that Planned Parenthood were bullies that they kill innocent, voiceless babies that can't defend themselves & that they were bullies.  They just looked over at me not saying a word.  Just then a young woman was coming out of Planned Parenthood with her young child & went over to the woman, who was leaning against her car smoking.  I called over to her offering her some free children's clothes.  She spoke with the woman for a few minutes then walked around the bushes to where we all were standing.  I again offered her some free clothes for her child & said "come follow me", which she did.  I was back in the center again.  I introduced myself to her & led her to the Material Aid Room for some nice things to take home with her.  She seemed delighted.  I asked her why she was there & she told me it was for birth control, needless to say we had a good talk & I gave her a Truth packet & other pieces of literature to take with her.  She was grateful to learn the Truth which most people are.  She said "thank you & good bye" & I said to her that if she needed anything else please come on back.  "Okay" she said  & off she went with her adorable little child.  How rewarding it is to help someone change their lives, through the grace of God.   

The doorbell rang & it was the two ladies from St. Jerome's Church, in East Rochester, dropping off all the baby clothes & items that they collected over the past 2 weekends, at all the Masses, for the month of May 'Baby Shower'.  We were blessed with so many nice things & some monetary gifts too.  It was such a surprise to me.  I gave them a tour of the our center & they were impressed with the rooms & how we functioned in each one, to service our clients with the best possible care that we can give them.  I gave them our new brochure, which they thanked me for.  I said thank you again & that I would be writing a thank you note soon.  They smiled & then said "good bye" & left.  What a blessing this was for our clients, some brand new things for their children.  Yeah :)

I could no sooner get my lunch, down my throat into my stomach, that the doorbell rang again & it was Tracy & Nancy, from Bella Hero. They had just arrived from California. They are the two presenters of the Bella Hero night tonight at the Woman's Care Center.  Sarah Elizabeth & myself brought them in to speak about the witnessing power, in saving lives, of this movie.  I gave away 2 of the Bella DVD's just today.  I was not aware that Tracy was vision impaired, for I had just communicated with her, on the phone, so I was set back a little.  I prayed that I would say the right thing.  I introduced myself to them & then they wanted to take the tour, which I obliged.  Tracy other senses are quite sensitive.  They both where so warm & loving & it was an honor to have met them.  They wanted to meet me first & to see the center then go to the hotel to relax before the lecture tonight.  I said goodbye to them & told them that I & all of us will be there later to hear this marvelous lecture.  They said good bye & off they went to the hotel for a quick shower & some relaxation,before tonight. How nice they were & what a joy to have met them.

Melody just arrived & I assigned her to the Material Aid Room, to put some of the new things away, that we just received from our generous donators.  She was happy to do it.  Sandy was finishing up making the Truth packet for the counselor outside, so I took another trip outside to give it to them.  It was around 3pm & they were praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet.  I waited for them to finish because I came when they were almost done, & gave them the rest of the packets.  I asked Martha if she wanted any coffee & she said that she did, so I went over to Mack's store, which is next to our center, to get her a cup. He gives me a discount.  John, Jerry & Donna don't drink coffee.  When I came back Donna told me that she was going out of town next week & wouldn't be there but will be back the following week.  I said okay & that we would surely miss her.  I thanked her for the diapers & wipes, that she brought in for the Material Aid Room, & mustered up some nerve, asking her if she would order some more 12 week old rubberized babies,that we use to witness to others.  She said "no problem & she was glad to do it".  WOW, what generosity, for these little babies cost a lot, but are such a powerful witness to our girls & guys.  It's a great teaching aid in saving lives.  Donna had to leave & Jerry went over to the brick side of the Planned Parenthood building to pray some more.  I asked John, if the nasty people that gave him such a hard time had gone, & he told me that they had left.  I was glad, I only hope & pray that they didn't kill their precious child. 

Martha told me that a middle aged woman was walking by & stopped to talk to Martha.  She said that she had taken the bus from Greece to go to Assemblyman David Gantt's office, to speak to him, in regards to more bus lines to Greece.  She said to Martha that she was a twin & that she didn't believe in abortion. She said that it was difficult in getting to the city from Greece, with her health problems, & she & others needed the bus situation to change & so she got a petition that she wanted to give to Mr.Gantt.  Just then a car was driving into Planned Parenthood & she  called over to the driver that this was a slaughter house & for her not to go in.  The girl just looked at her  but seemed like she was deeply touched by her statement, Martha said to me.  She just kept on saying that this was a slaughter house.  How right you are dear lady.  I hope that Mr. Gantt can help you & please tell him, when you see him, that Planned Parenthood is a slaughter house & to do something about it.  Wishful thinking on my part but one can only dream.  Martha invited her back to come out on the front lines with us & she said that she would when she has more time.  We'll see.

It was around 4:30pm & I reminded everyone that we needed to come in & to eat supper & to get ready to go to the Women's Care Center, for the Bella Hero talk at 6pm.  They gathered up everything & went in for supper.  We had supper & left to go the lecture at 5:30pm we all arrived at 6pm.  I was well attended & it was a blessing of an evening.  Terri, the material aid person, blessed our center with a car seat & 2 bases & baby formula & diapers etc., how nice is that.  The talk was very interesting & then we saw the movie.  Anne cried at the end, how could you not. 

We asked questions about the star of the movie who has sidewalk counseled & has saved lives through the grace of God. Check out: 'Bella' Movie Star, Eduardo Verastegui, Saved Real Baby While Researching Film.  http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2007/dec/07121004.html. 

The day was full & eventful, Praise God for His goodness & grace, for His children both big & small. It was late & time to go home.  We all said thank you to both Tracy & Nancy & wished them a safe trip back home.  I also thanked Thersa & Sarah Elizabeth, for hosting this wonderful evening. 

Some things just will stay with you for a long time & this evening will surely last, for a very long time, in my heart.

Wednesday, May 5, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood

It was just Martha & I until 4pm & then Tucker came to pray & witness, on the sidewalk, in front of Planned Parenthood.  Martha & I worked in the center & on the sidewalk, to assist anyone, who needed our help. 

Martha brought in a very sweet woman into the Material Aid Room to get some things for her niece at home.  I told Martha that I would stay to help her, so Martha went back on to the sidewalk, to pray & to counsel & to witness.  This young woman was so very nice & you could see it in her eyes too.  I asked her what she was doing at Planned Parenthood in a gentle, non condemning way.  She answered me by saying that she was there for the birth control pills.  I then began to educate her & to give her some information on the Pill & it's effects on her baby, if she got pregnant, which could happen on the Pill & then the embryo is discarded through menstruation, & on her own body.  She never knew this before & was open to the Truth.  She was engaged but I told her that she was not married yet & for her & her finance' to wait until they made their vows to each other in the presence of God & man.  She agreed that would be fine & a good idea too.  I said to her to ask the dear Lord to forgive her for having sex before marriage & taking the birth control pills for 2 years.  She said that she would.  I told her that God is a forgiving God & He is merciful too.  She agreed, with a big smile on her sweet face.  She looked around for some things for her niece & found some nice things & took some children books on the Bible.  She was happy to get the information that I gave her & some great things to take home to her niece.  She gave me a hug & went out the door after saying "thank you so very much".  The pleasure was all mine.  She was a breathe of fresh air.   

I went back outside to be with Martha & she was praying the Rosary.  A few minutes later car was pulling out of Planned Parenthood & I told the girls what this place was all about.  The driver of the car said that she was pregnant.  I said to her that we have a pregnancy center, next to this yellow building & to come follow mw into the center to get some baby things.  They pulled out of the driveway & entered the strip mall parking lot & got out of the car & followed me into the center.  I brought them into the Material Aid Room to get some yellow & green things for the baby, not knowing it she was pregnant with a boy or a girl baby.  She was happy to see so many nice things to pick from.  After that I brought the young girl & her girlfriend into the Rose Room to educate them with our literature packets & our DVD's & our little 12 week old rubberized baby & the growth & development chart with it.  They were amazed at the stages of development in the womb.  They were from Corning, New York, so they asked me if I knew of any Pregnancy Resource Centers, in the Southern Tier.  I told her that I would check into that, & I will call her back with the information, to better assist her in her own area.  I asked her how she happened to be at Planned Parenthood.  She said that a she is pro life but a friend recommended Planned Parenthood to her.  She said that she would never go back there again.  After her pregnancy test they said to her "do you want to terminate"?  This comment made her feel sick.  I don't blame you for that dear one.  She said that she was engaged & her finance' would have no problem with her pregnancy & they will be getting married this July.  Yeah!!  I asked her to tell her friend not to recommend Planned Parenthood to anyone else in the future.  She said that she would tell her.  "Thank you" I said.  They took all the information that I gave them & they left to drive the long drive back to Corning.  Suzanne, our Thursday afternoon counselor, will keep tabs on her to see how she is doing.

  I went back outside to be with Martha.  It was late & there was so much to do in the Material Aid Room, for my car was filled with things that were given me, by the second hand store in East Rochester.  So we had to unload the car & put all these things away.  So I helped Martha to put the things away from the sidewalk & we had a quick supper & off we were to do our work in the Material Aid Room.  We always have the radio on in the Rose Room & it's set to our Catholic station The Station of the Cross 1460 AM.  They were doing there annual fund raising campaign.  Martha had a great idea, inspired by the Holy Spirit.  She said "why don't we called the station & donate a gift to the work of the radio station".  I said "yes that sounds like a good idea lets donate $25".  She said "that's great & I'll call".  So she got the phone number & called.  We wanted to challenge other Pregnancy Centers to call in & all pro lifers too.  About 10 minutes later we were on the radio.  They said that the Focus Pregnancy Help Center wants to challenge  all pro lifers to call in & to donate to the work of the station.  Yeah!  We were able to help them & they were able to help us.  More people now know that we are here on University Ave.  What a blessing.  Martha & I went back to work in the center & left around 8pm.

Thursday May 6, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood

 

After Mass, Martha & I went over to the center.  We were starting to put the things out on the sidewalk when Tony showed up to get his chairs that he let us borrow for our Mass in the center on May 1st.  Martha went to help Tony & I went outside to set up & to counsel.  A young girl was walking around the bushes & she stopped to talk to me.  I offered her some more assistance in the center.  I noticed that Tim was parked across the street to pray, so I asked him if he could step out of his van to watch our things for a few minutes.  He said that he would & came out of the van & walked over to the sidewalk to make sure that no one would come by & steal anything.  I walked this young lady over to the center.  When we got there Martha & Tony were coming out so I said that Tim was there on the sidewalk witnessing.  They said "okay" & off they went to be with him.  I brought the client into the center to minister to her needs.   did a pregnancy test & counseled her & gave her our Truth packet.  She was receptive of the truth. 

 

I went back outside to join the troops.  A few minutes later John arrived & he started to pray & to witness.  A car drove into Planned Parenthood & John spoke with her.  She was there to learn more about Teen Pregnancies.  John gave her a Truth packet & a DVD.  She took it with a smile.  I was hoping that afterwards she would come over to the center to talk to Suzanne, our Thursday counselor who had just arrived, but she didn't.  I saw her talking to the 2 Death Escorts, Sylvia Rose & Barry Swan, the worst of the Death Escorts, for they have been out in front of Planned Parenthood, destroying lives, for so many years.  They are relentless.  I was sad, as she was driving out about 20 minutes later, talking on her cell phone going down the street.  At least she got something from us. 

Just then Jerry & Charles came & they got some signs & went to the brick side of the building.  They go over there to pray & to witness.  About 30 minutes later & I saw that the RTS bus had stopped & the bus driver got out & walked across the street to Jerry & Charles.  I picked up a Truth packet & went across the street & then back to the sidewalk to talk to him & five him the packet of information.  When I arrived to the spot I said to the bus driver "can I help you".  He said "I've know this guy, pointing to Jerry, all my life we were kids together growing up in the same neighborhood".  I said "wow, that's great".  Jerry had a smirk on his face & kept on praying the Rosary.  I said "good bye" & went back over to the other side of the sidewalk to be with the others.  The bus driver stayed to talk to Jerry for a few minutes & then left.

 

A car was coming out of Planned Parenthood & the young guy sitting in the back was obnoxious.  He said something to Martha & I that I cannot repeat on this page.  I just said to him "may God have Mercy on you", he responded back to me something.  The two girls, in the front seat, were laughing as they drove away.  You won't be laughing for long with this guy in your lives.  Please girls do better!  It's sad to see lives turned upside down for 'free love' that's not 'free' nor 'love'.  What you do in your teens & twenties you will regret in your thirties & forties, for sure.  

 

Jane't had just arrived for our Workshop so we started to pack up & go in to be with her, it was around 4:30pm.  After the meeting  Martha, John & I ate supper together & to do some work in the center.  Martha had to go & John & I stayed until 11pm writing letter to the different parishes asking for tithing money for the work of the center.  Long but fruitful day.

Tuesday, May 11, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood

 My head is spinning.  I don't even know, if I can even report everything that happened today, it was soooo busy.  I'll do my best.  Martha, Jerry, Mary S. & I were out on the front lines while Sandy was in the center to counsel & to do pregnancy tests & to give out baby clothes.  As I was leaving, to go out to the front lines, I saw our mom, who comes into the Material Aid Room regularly, to get things for her family.  She said that she was going to bring in a bag of clothes that her children have grown out of.  That will be fine.  I went out to the sidewalk to join the others.  I saw that a car had pulled out of Planned Parenthood & was driving into our parking lot.  I walked over to the parking lot & approached the two girls that came out of the car.  I asked if they needed baby clothes & the one girl said "yes" & the other girl said "no".  I then asked if they needed a pregnancy test & the one girl said "no" & the other girl said "yes".  I said "come follow me".  I lead them to the Rose Room & did the pregnancy test on the one girl while the other girl went into the Material Aid Room to get some things for her child.  I did some teaching & gave the girl who had the pregnancy test a Truth packet.  Thank God that she was not abortion minded.  They went over to Planned Parenthood & she asked for a pregnancy test & that she wasn't abortion minded & they told her that it would cost $50 & they couldn't do it.  Planned Parenthood will do a pregnancy test if you are willing to have your baby killed.  Lord have Mercy!!  She was happy to have found the Focus Pregnancy Help Center to come to her aid.  They left very happy with our ministry, of love & life. 

Great News at the Focus Pregnancy Help Center today! I brought a client into the center who had just come out of Planned Parenthood & she was abortion minded as we walked into the center for counseling.  The Rose Room was being used by another one of our clients for a pregnancy test so I brought this client into the office.  I spoke with her a few minutes & then said I needed to get something & went into the other room to get the Growth & Development DVD & the rubberized 12 week old baby to educate her.  When I came back into the office she had completely had changed her mind & said to me "I'm not going to have an abortion, I'm to going to keep my baby".  WOW!!  I brought her into the Material Aid Room to get a yellow & green knitted blanket that was donated by the parishioners at St. Jerome's Church for their Mother's Day 'Baby Shower' weekend.  I told her that we will call her to see how she is doing & she was happy to hear that. She smiled & said "thank you & good bye".  My heart was singing.  The Holy Spirit had lead her into the office where we have baby pictures & graphic pictures, to educate.  The pictures did the talking. Thank you Lord!!

Great News again! The doorbell rang & there was a pregnant woman & another woman & two young men with them with a young child.  As they were entering the Material Aid Room the pregnant woman said that we were out there protesting when she was going in for an abortion in the Fall of 2009 at Planned Parenthood.  We educated her to what she was planning to do & showed her the graphic pictures, which was the reality of what she was about to do, to her own baby.  I was so happy to hear this great news.  I said to her "I'm sure glad that we were calling out to you that day".  She said "I'm so glad that you were too".  My baby is a boy & his name is Isaiah & he's due any day now.  She said "thank you all for being there for me, I can't imagine life without him" & then she showed me a phone picture of him in the womb, what a cutie.  I asked her to bring him by after he is born & she said that she would.  Yeah!!  Her & her friend got plenty of nice thing for their children. Today we had 10 clients in the Material Room.  I love to see the smiles on their faces. 

We had at least 10 people in the Material Aid Room today & did four Pregnancy tests.  One after another.  The center was hopping with activity.  We were educating with our literature & words of wisdom from the Good Lord.  Diane stopped by with diapers for our friend Pat's great grand babies, who are growing up so fast.  Later on Pat stopped by to receive the donations that were given to her by great people that wanted to help her family out.  Also, the diapers that Diane had blessed her with too.  Diane was also included with the people that generously donate to help Pat & her family out.  Praise God for such great people that are generous & selfless.  God bless them all.  We had people dropping off new stuffed animals for the Material Aid room & what a blessing that will be for our clients children.  So many people to thank for their goodness & kindness, to the work, of the Focus Center.  We couldn't do it without them & their prayers to the dear Lord.  Melody came & started to make up Truth packets, for the ministry.  Sandy was doing pregnancy test & handing out clothes in the Material Aid Room.  Martha, Mary S., Jerry & I were out on the front lines praying & witnessing the Truth.  I went back & forth in & out of the center but at least I got to say, this week to Mary S., who comes for 1 hour on her lunch hour to pray & to witness out in front of Planned Parenthood.  Thank you all for giving your precious time & love, to our precious babies, that are so unmerciful dismembered, in the name of 'choice'. 

 "A VOICE OF LOVE"

Oh sweet little baby hidden with no where to hide.

The last thing that you hear is a voice calling from outside.

“We can help you”.

“You don’t have to do this” says the sidewalk counselor to your Mom.

                  You rejoice to hear an encouraging voice of Hope.

                 Knowing that if she doesn’t heed this Truth and turn away.

               You will die, at this abortion mill, this very day.

                As you enter Heaven, if your Mother didn’t turn away, remember this

                That for a little while you were LOVED.

Wednesday, May 12, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood

 Martha & I started right away on the street.  As we were standing there a car stopped & a middle aged man started to talk to us.  He said that he was Professor at Monroe Community College & lauded on us the very important work that we are doing.  He said "it's hard isn't it".  I replied "yes, it is very hard".  We offered him information & he refused but later on he took the Truth packet, DVD & rubberized baby at 12 weeks.  He said that he has been studying Roe vs. Wade, this unjust, unconstitutional law of 1973.  He said that the Founding Fathers never intended 'child killing' to be a part of this Nation.  Martha & I both agreed that they were God fearing & this country at one time was 'God fearing' too.  He was a very interesting man.  Martha & he got into it about this President & what he believes about abortion.  I think that Martha did shed some light on this & made him aware of some things that he didn't know before about this President.  Education is the Key and a Professor can learn even more.  He said "thank you" & gave us a smile on his handsome face & drove away. 

I went back into the center to get more signs when the doorbell rang & it was David, the father of our little David Tobias, who was saved from being aborted, at Planned Parenthood, last year.  He is 2 months old now & has a brother who is 18 months old.  David was coming in for a double stroller for the two small children & to pick up some children's clothes for them both.  I asked how David Tobias was doing & he said that he has his nights & days mixed up.  He was up most of the night & is now sleeping like a log.  I said that maybe he will be a night owl, for I am, & he said "not if I can help it".  I hear you. He took the stroller out of my car & put it against the wall of the building outside.  I asked him if he could help me get some boxes, of children's clothes, out of my car & into the Material Aid Room for me.  He said "yes, of course".  He was in the Material Aid Room picking out some things for his 2 children & then left on his bicycle.  I couldn't believe it.  He put the double stroller strap on his one shoulder & the clothes bag on the other shoulder & off he went down the street.  But before he left he thanked me again for saving the life of his precious son.  I said that we give the Lord all the glory, for it was by His grace, for we are only His instruments.  He said "thank you".  I said to say hi to Ann & give the children a kiss & hug from me.  He said that he would.  I feel so good & thankful to God, for using this humble ministry, for His purposes.   

 I went back to be with Martha, with a cup of hot coffee for her, for she was by herself all this time, which isn't good.  We know that God does protect us.  I noticed that a car had parked, on the brick side of Planned Parenthood, and a man got out of his car & went over to the parking meter & put some money in it, then walked over to Martha & I, who was standing on the side of Planned Parenthood, were the bushes are.  He walked over to us calmly & we felt no fear at his approach.  He looked at the graphic signs, of the aborted babies, & said that this was so sad & that he didn't believe in abortion.  We both agreed & said that we didn't believe in abortion either & that Planned Parenthood kills babies in this very building & that they were Racist, killing off the Black Race through abortion & birth control.  We offered him the Maafa 2: Black Genocide in the 21st. Century DVD & the Truth packet, to educate him, so he could change things through this education in the community.  He said that he sees us when he drives by & decided to finally stop to talk with us & that he was glad that he did.  We said that we were glad that he stopped by to talk with us & to stop by again another time, in the near future, & if he wanted to be a part of the team he would be more than welcomed.  We hope to see him again real soon.  He went back to car after saying "thank you & keep up the good work that you are doing".  Don't worry dear man, we will never stop until they stop killing children. 

Martha returned to praying & I returned to counseling & witnessing, to the public & the victims of Planned Parenthood, the truth about abortion.  I noticed that some one was going into the center so I left Martha out on the sidewalk & I went into the center to help her.  She needed a can of formula (Enfamil LIPIL) for her baby & I so happened to have this particular brand, that I was saving for Pat's great grandbaby, but I can replace it for her.  I told her that we usually don't have this formula but the good Lord had blessed her today with it.  She smiled & thanked me & went home to feed her precious baby, that was saved by the grace of God, through one of our male sidewalk counselors, whose been out on the street for 14 years now.  Thank you Lord & please bless him & all of us daily, to preserve until the end, in doing your pro life work.  I then went back to be with our Martha out on the sidewalk again.

Now hear comes the grand finale, of the afternoon.  I was so thankful that the abortionist, Rachael Phelps, wasn't here today killing little innocent babies, though Martha & I are always on the defensive, for we don't really know or sure if there isn't a substitute, so we always have our guard up.  I know that if there is no RU 486 or surgical abortion happening there is always Plan B & other birth control abortions, taking place.  'A life is a life no matter how small'.  Martha took over the mega phone & was talking into it as I was near the fence eating a fast sandwich that I wolfed down so that I wouldn't faint.  Just as I was about to take the last mouthful, which is usually the case, someone from behind the bushes was hollering back at her.  I put the last bit of the sandwich down on the bench & stood up to look in the parking lot of Planned Parenthood.  I saw no one & went back to where Martha was standing nearer the driveway.  Just then a light blue, expensive looking car, pulled out of the driveway onto the side of the sidewalk where we were standing.  He was taking our picture with his cell phone.  I grabbed a sign so that he could take a picture of the reality of abortion & he quickly stated to me, "sorry, it's to late", for he got my picture.  I want to make it clear that I don't mind if people take my picture, for it is legal, I just want them to take pictures, of the babies that have been killed by abortion, too.  Martha went up to the car window to talk to him.  Lots of luck dear Martha but you go girl, never the less, for she is a former Psych Nurse, that worked in the State Hospital for 15 years, only to retire 3 years ago, so don't mess with her.  I noticed that there was a young child, sitting in a car seat, in the back, so I knew that he was a Dad.  Martha talked to him for a few minutes only to hear his gobbly gook. He told her to go to Conkey Ave. to save lives & she told him that they were killing people here too.  She offered him some free baby clothes & he responded back to her that he wasn't married but he takes care of his own child.  So 'no' to the free clothes then.  I took down his license number & he didn't care in the least.  I told him that he was parking in a 'No Parking' zone but again he didn't seem to really mind.  He just wanted to bug us & saw that we were not being bugged & that bugged him.  Oh well we can't please everyone!  Later on we were bugged but not at this time, in our encounter with this man, that just didn't get it.  He went for the camera again & just sat there for a few more minutes starring.  He finally left to go down the street & Martha & I were relieved by the lack of his bizarre presence.  I was wrong.  We looked down the street only to see that he was turning around & had now parked in front of the vets, which was not opened for business.  He got out of his car to put some money into the parking meter, good boy, & then went back into his car to stare & to take more pictures of us again.  Poor guy, go to the park, or something.  What was this all about?  He did give us the creeps, for in all my 25 years in sidewalk counseling, I don't remember a stockier, there is a first time for everything.  As I was figuring out what to do next I saw walking up the sidewalk a mother with her 6 young children coming towards us.  I went over to her & said "hello, Brittany" & she said "hello Mary, we've come to do some work in the Material Aid Room for you".  I said "that would be great" & they all followed me into the room, to put some children's clothes away, that were still in boxes, from earlier today.  I was most grateful for their presence & assistance.  I then went into the Taxi room to ask big Alan to show himself, out on the sidewalk, maybe so this guy will know that we really aren't alone & to get out of Dodge quickly & quietly.  But no, not him, he didn't go anywhere but big Alan had to go back to work, answering the phone, at the Taxi company.  Sorry Alan, to drag you into this scenario.  I was now back with Martha & we decided to ignore him for awhile & to continue to pray & to witness.  I saw Dan, a pro life friend of Martha & I, who was dropping off packages, to the printer store, up the street.  I waved to him to come over to Martha & I, and he did.  He stopped & I told him what was going on.  He said that he was working & that he would take a picture of him, on his cell phone.  I said "that would be great Dan".  He drove a little ways down the street & stopped the van & took this guys picture & then left to go back to work. No big deal right. Wrong.  Later on I found out that the guy called Dan's boss to report him for taking his picture & Dan was called into the office where his boss chewed him out.  Poor Dan, he was only helping us. Hopefully it will not go any where & he won't be fired.  Please Lord, please protect Dan from this man.  It was now 45 minutes later & he was still there.  I became worried about the poor child who was in the back seat.  Maybe he or she had awakened & was hungry & was crying, so I decided to flag down, the next police car, that came down University Ave., to check into this matter.  I said a prayer & then about 5 minutes later a police drive down the street & I went into the street to get the police officer to stop.  He did.  He pulled over & got out of his car & came over to Martha & I.  Martha explained the situation & he said that he would go over to talk to him.  Alleluia!!  He got back into his car & pulled in back of the sitting car with the weird man in it, & got out & walked over to the car.  He spoke with this man for a few minutes.  I saw that a woman walking out of the parking lot of Planned Parenthood with a brown bag in her hands.  I said to her "please don't take the Morning After Pill", thinking that the bag could have this drug in it?  She replied "I don't want anymore kids".  I said quickly "please don't kill the little baby that could be in your womb now".  Off she goes across the street & into the car, of the guy who has been parked there, for over 50 minutes now.  Who would know!!  Martha & I just looked at each other with a 'are you kidding look on our faces.  See he was there to harass us for he should have been in the parking lot of the death mill, waiting for his, murder on her mind, girlfriend, & not sitting in front of the vet's office, for what reason was to cause us anxiety.  The police offer went over to the talk to the other police offer who now has joined him.  The car then pulled away from the curb & drove into Planned Parenthood & I saw that he had a smirk on his devious face.  As the car was coming out, a few minutes later, I said to him "please love the baby, who could be in her womb, as you love the baby in the back seat".  Off they went into the world.  Yeah!!  Martha waved to the police officers, who were now driving away & hollered a thank you to them.  They smiled back at us.  What an afternoon!! 

Martha & I went into the center now for it was late & did some work in there & then had supper together, for we had plenty to talk about today.  Dan came in later on & said that he was glad to have helped us out earlier even if he did get into trouble with his boss.  I told him if it goes further I will testify in his behalf.  He said "okay, thanks".  Lets hope that it will not go that far.  Isn't it funny that this guy ,had no problem taking our pictures, but minded that his picture was taken.  Sorry, it's to late!!

Thursday, May 13, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood 

(The Feast of the Accession of Jesus into Heaven)

  

I arrived at the center after the Mass for the Accession of Jesus, a Holy Day, in the Catholic Church.  Martha was going to come a little later.  As I was pulling into our parking lot & noticed that Bill was standing across the street, of Planned Parenthood, with his signs & that I needed to go over there to tell him that I would be out in awhile.  The moment I arrived there was a young girl walking to the door of the center & I asked she if I could help her.  She said that she needed a pregnancy test & I said to her "come follow me".  I told her that I needed a few minutes to open up the doors & to set up for the test.  I asked her if she had any children & she said that she had a 1 year old daughter so I said for her to go into the Material Aid Room to get some things for her child & that I would be with her in a few minutes.  As I was doing all this the doorbell rang & it was a young girl asking for some children's clothes.  I was hoping that Martha would come soon for I knew that Suzanne would be coming in about 20 minutes to counsel.  I just prayed that I could do everything, for I was not feeling well at all.  I was in much pain (chronic pain)which is difficult for me to minister but I pray that the good Lord will help me to help our clients, with love.  I asked her how she knew about us & she said that a friend recommended us to her.  I take her to the Material Aid Room & she & the other girl who was in there getting some things spoke.  Hi was the response to each other.  Here was her friend that recommended us to her.  I said "did she know that you were here"?  She said "no".  How quaint.  Then said to the first girl that I was ready for her in the Rose Room to do the pregnancy test & left her friend in the Material Aid Room to continue shopping.  What was I suppose to do?  We like to be in there, to assist our mothers, but that's not always possible, & today was the day it was not possible.  I did the test & then counseled our young mother for awhile.  When she left the Rose Room she went back to the Material Aid Room to continue her shopping.  Then the doorbell rang again.  I went to the door to see a young pregnant girl & a guy standing at the door.  I answered the door & said "Samantha".  She said "yes".  "Welcome" I said to her & her friend.  She was the girl that had called me this week asking for baby clothes for her expected baby who is due in August.  The Women's Care Center recommended us to her.  I brought her to the Material Aid Room & had to hurry the 2 other girls for they had time to shop & had a couple of bags for their children already.  I said for them to come back in the future, if they needed anything else, for their children.  They said "okay & thank you" & left.  I was really hoping that Martha would come soon & my prayers were answered in a matter of a few minutes.  Martha came into the room & I greeted her & then introduced her to our new clients. A few minutes after Martha arrived Suzanne arrived.  I introduced her to our new clients & then gave her some instructions of what I needed this afternoon for her to do.  Simple things like ordering brochures & pregnancy tests. I reviewed the week for her.  I like it when Suzanne calls the clients, the pregnant ones & the ones that have already delivered their babies.  I don't want to take time away from her to do that important work.  I then went back to the Material Aid Room to say good bye to the young couple & told Martha that I was going to the front lines to be with Bill & that I would see her soon.  She said "okay, I'll be out later".  Off I go with the mega phone & picture of Malachi the sweet aborted baby picture &  the box of literature.  I got to the bush side of Planned Parenthood to set up.  I called over to Bill, for he is hard of hearing that I was on the sidewalk now.  I looked over to the Planned Parenthood parking lot & I didn't see the abortionist car parked by the back door.  I was happy but you still can't let your guard down for there could be another abortionist taking her place in there.  Martha joined me on the sidewalk after she was done ministering with our happy young couple.  I hope to see them again, in the future. 

 The school bus driver went passed us, honking the horn & putting hi thumb up & the children on the bus were waving at us too.  There was an Oriental boy waving at Martha & I, he was so cute.  Every time this bus driver comes by he waves at us & honks.  We wave back & sometimes I blow him a kiss.  He encourages us so much. 

 

Jerry arrived to pray with Martha & I.  He went over to the brick side of the building to knee & pray the Rosary.  The two Death Escorts were there leading these young girls to a life of harm & grief.  Praise God that the parking lot was thinning down & when we left, a couple hours late, there were no victims in Planned Parenthood!!  God is working a marvelous work there on the street ministry & in the center.

 

I turned around & noticed that there were two young girls walking down the sidewalk passed the center towards Planned Parenthood.  I gently approached them & asked if they needed a pregnancy test & they said "yes".  I said "come follow me" & led them to the Focus Center to be greeted by Suzanne.  I gave them a Truth packet & the rubberized babies but the one girl yelled out, it scared her so I didn't peruse it. 

I knew Suzanne would take good care of them, which she does to all our clients.  They were in the center for some time & I saw them walking back towards Downtown.  Yeah!  they didn't get exposed to the lies & deception at Planned Parenthood but were giving the Truth, in the center.  I felt good to be used by God to achieve this in their lives & in the lives of others.  I humbly praise Him for the work that He accomplishes in ALL the pro lifers that are True to their Faith, on the front lines & in the Pregnancy Centers throughout the world but especially here in Rochester, NY., for this team is faithful & dedicated in all kinds of adversity & in all kinds of weather.  God bless you remnant :)

I looked down the street & I saw a young man walking towards the center & I thought to myself that that might be David, from the Eastman School of Music.  He had emailed me this week asking to come to the center to do some work if I had anything for him to do.  Oh yes David, I sure could use you.  I walked to the door & I saw that Suzanne had answered the door & then he turned around to be introduced to me, by Suzanne.  I said that it was so nice to meet him & to give him his assignment which was to paint the table legs of our counter that we use for our meal preparations.  The tablecloth was to short & exposed the wooden legs that looked awful.  I gave him the paint & offered him a bottled water which he accepted.  After he was done painting, I asked him if he would put away the 4 boxes of baby clothes, that I brought in from my home. He said that would be fine.  I then saw that Suzanne was setting up for a pregnancy test & asked her if she is expecting someone & she said that there is a woman in the bathroom & she thought the I had brought her in but I said "no" & that it must have been Martha.  Off I go back to the front lines.  I asked Martha & she said that she pointed to where the center was for this woman wanted a pregnancy test.  Praise God, for how He brings the people that needs us, into the center to be taken care of. 

 

Just then we saw that an older man was walking towards us.  He told us his story then he changed it over & over again.  I do remember him from a Monday evening that I was there at the center.  One of the male sidewalk counselors brought him into the center for assistance, & I gave him a whole lot of literature & A DVD & some baby clothes, for the young girls that need it in his Church, that is nearby. This time he looked terrible & was making no sense.  He mentioned that he needed some food so I went into the Material Aid Room & got some non-perishable food, from our food shelves, for him to take with him.  I went back outside & gave it to him & then said "good bye".  If he needs us he knows where to find us.  You, dear man are in our prayers.  I had to go back to the center to see how David was doing.  Martha & Jerry went on to say the Divine Mercy Chaplet, for it was 3pm now the hour of God's Mercy.  When I came back out I saw that the two Death Escorts had left & there was the young skinny one that took their place.  It is sooooo sad to see other woman help to kill & wreck the lives of other women.  Where is the protective sisterhood??   These escorts, both male & female, do a great injustice to these unbeknown victims that go into Planned Parenthood because they are weak & venerable sometimes.  Not all that go in there are victims but are victimizers instead.  They know what they are doing & don't care who they hurt, including themselves.  There were two cars that came in there today that had a RIT sticker on their window.  "You could be so smart that you are stupid".

 

We noticed that the parking lot was empty & that Martha was cold & had to go to celebrate Mother's Day with the other half of her family.  Thanks Martha & have a great time & I'll see you next week.  I went back into the center to say thank you & good bye to David & to wish him well in his future job search.  I also reviewed this afternoon with Suzanne & she said that she contacted some of our clients & that they were all fine.  One of our clients was due yesterday so we will be having a new baby in this world real soon!!  Also another one of our clients was due last week & Suzanne couldn't reach her so we might have another baby in this world already!!  Suzanne said "good bye" & I said "thank you & I'll see you next week". 

I started to do some paperwork when the doorbell rang & it was Dan.  I said hi to him & them immediately put him to work but first I asked him if he still had a job & he said "yes".  I said "thank Lord".  He needed to put in a new light bulb in the hallway & to do some other odd jobs.  He's very cooperative .  He went into the Material Aid Room & started to look at our book selection & found a book on the Civil War.  I said "it's yours Dan" & then he told me that it was his birthday & then I said "Oh Happy Birthday & here is your present, the book on the Civil War".  He was very happy.  The doorbell rang again & it was Melody.  It was so good to see her.  We visited for a few minutes & then she started to make up the Truth packets that we hand out on the street & in the center.  What a helper.  We had supper later on & then worked some more then went home around 9pm.  So much to do but it is well worth it.    See below :)

   

I was putting some things away, in the center, when the doorbell rang & there was a young woman with her daughter, who looked around 8 years old, at the door  I asked if I could help her & she said that she needed some baby clothes for her son, who was 6 months old.  I said "fine & come follow me".  I brought them into the Material Aid Room & she looked in our clothes baskets & was picking out some things for her son.  I asked her some questions about how she found us etc..  She said that she, in the past had received a packet & a DVD, when she was at Planned Parenthood.  I asked her if she was going for an abortion & she said "no".  I said that I was glad that she never thought of having an abortion & I thanked her for having her precious baby.  I then said to her, "if you could pass the information that was given to you, in front of Planned Parenthood, so you could help others, that would be great.  She said that she already did, for her cousin was going to have an abortion & she showed her some of the information that was in the packet & her cousin changed her mind & gave birth to baby boy Jordan, a couple of months ago.  I was so happy to hear this great news!!  I said to her that if her cousin needed anything to come to the center to receive some nice things too.  She smiled & said "thank you & I will tell her this" & then left with her daughter.  I was thrilled to hear what the Lord had done through the street ministry.  God is Great!!

Awhile later, Amy the reporter for the Catholic Courier, came to do an interview on the Focus Pregnancy Help Center, for it is our 5th. year anniversary, as a pregnancy center.  Amy came & interviewed Martha & I for a couple of hours. Just before she was finishing up with the interview the doorbell rang & Martha went to answer it.  She didn't come back to the Common Room, so I knew that it probably was a client coming in for baby clothes, in the Material Aid Room. Then Martha took me aside & told me that this young woman was going into Planned Parenthood, last year, for an abortion & we on the sidewalk convinced her that it was wrong.  She told me later, that it was the people calling out to her & the awful signs, that convinced her that it was wrong. She was a little teary eyed, for she felt badly that she came so close in killing her precious baby, who is the 'apple of her eye'.  She went & came back about 20 minutes later with her two children & Martha & I were so blessed in seeing them.  I just couldn't stop thinking that this very baby, that the mom was now holding, was the same baby that could have been sucked out of her, last year & killed.  She would not be here today. We were so happy that she brought her baby & young son, into the center, so that we could see them both.  She said "thank you & good bye" & left with some nice things for her children.  We said for her to come back if she needed anything else.  I told her that God was pleased with her & I hope that helped her to heal.  She appeared most grateful.

 A few minutes later Melody showed up & I greeted her.  Just then a man pushing, a young boy in a stroller, came from behind the bushes.  I said to him that we had children's clothes in the center right next to this yellow building for your son.  I then asked him what he was doing at Planned Parenthood.  He said "she's on there".  I said"what is she in there for"?  Then he said "it's not my kid".  Oh my God!  I said for him to back in there to try to save the baby's life & he said that she was already in the back room.  I said that you are letting this baby die.  "It's not my kid".  So what if he or she isn't your baby, this child shouldn't have to be killed, for Heaven's sake!  He just walked away going for a nice walk on a mellow summer's day.  Get real mister this is the worst day of your life & you don't even know it.  When he came back from he's walk, about 45 minutes later, I told him that he & his girlfriend will suffer.  He quickly responded that he's already suffered, for he just got out of jail, yesterday.  Well sir, you just went back into the hole today & this time it is for the rest of your life, until you repent.  I always mention, the Forgiveness & Mercy of Almighty God, for a person that repents, of his or her sins.  Lord have Mercy on their souls, for this murder today.  I told them, as they were driving out of the parking lot about 15 minutes later, to repent for the sin of murder.  I hope & pray that they will & not put it off either, for the Lord said in His Word "now is the acceptable time".  The poor little boy, who was about 2 years old, will also be effected by this terrible day.   Melody & I were very sad & she also tried to talk to him but he had the 'spirit of murder' with him & he wouldn't listen.   This little baby was probably conceived by another man while he was in jail & when he got out he made sure that this little precious baby was going to suffer for the betrayal of the mother.  It's easier to kill someone that can't fight back, you big bully, with a shirt on with a huge skull on it. Ick! You probably will end up, back in jail, & the mother had her baby killed for you?  Why couldn't she just get away from him & protect the child that she was carrying, from the evil of abortion?  And where was the father of this baby?  Only God knows.  Having sex outside of marriage is wrong & is a Mortal Sin & must be confessed before one dies, for it is a Deadly Sin, that means that you can end up in Hell for all Eternity, if you die with it on your soul.   

An older woman was walking down the sidewalk & when she was close enough I said to her "would you like a packet of information"?  She stopped & reached out her hand to me to accept it.  Then she told her story.  She said that over the past 5 years when she walked down this sidewalk people give her a packet.  I said to her "you don't need it then".   "Oh yes I do" she said back, it helps me all the time, to get one, for when I lived in Jamaica my daughter told me that she was pregnant & was going for an abortion & I told her to go too.  Now because of you here on the sidewalk showing these pictures that what I did many years ago was so wrong & I deeply regret it.  How sad.  I knew that she had taken the packet to comfort herself for the abortion of her grand child, but did she ever look into them for healing.  I gently took the packet out of her hands & opened it up to where the phone numbers of Project Rachel & Lumina were, the two post abortion ministries, & I pointed them out to her & told her to call those numbers to get the help that she needs so desperately.  I also asked her if she had asked the Lord to forgive her for her part in that abortion?  I couldn't understand what she said, for she had an accent, so I said to her again to ask God to forgive her for her part in the abortion & He will, I said.  She shook her head ,as if to understand now.  I gave her a hug & she was on her way, maybe a little better, than before.  All these years passed by before we got to the 'root of the problem', maybe because today she was willing to share her story, for the first time.  It's always in God's perfect timing. 

A man, with long gray hair, came walking down the sidewalk heading towards Melody & me.  He was a friendly man that engaged us in some conversation.  Here is his story.  He said that when his niece was 13  years old she was forced to have an abortion, it sounded like it was rape or incest.  She was affected by this event but the Good Lord had His hand on her.  She is married to a very nice man, who protects her & is well off.  She has 2 children now & they are doing well also.  She is a singer & her husband is supportive of her.  God turned her life around.  I only hope & pray that she forgave those who were involved in the death of her child & the man that impregnated her was brought to justice.  What goes around comes around. 

Tuesday, June 15, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood

 I spoke to some of the victims of Planned Parenthood that were going into the death mill.  A young girl, who had some blue streaks in her hair, stopped on the sidewalk to look at the graphic signs & to talk to us, for a few minutes.  She said that she was a virgin & we commended her that she was making the right decision & to stay strong with her decision .  Also to read the information in the Truth packet & then to pass it on to her friends & family, to educate them too.  She agreed.  I said to her that she was a breathe of fresh air, that's for sure.  She smiled & then walked down the street to go where she needed to go. 

The first thing that I did went I arrived at the front lines was to check to see if the abortionist, Rachel Phelps was there.  She wasn't, thank God.  I went back to the center to put our portable sign 'Free Pregnancy Help' on the sidewalk & then went into the center.  The doorbell rang & it was a young woman looking to get some things in the Material Aid Room for her young child.  I decided not to go outside today because we had to work on getting those clothes containers emptied & put away, into the Material Aid Room.  Martha was with me & we went to work getting started.  Then the doorbell rang & it was Maria.  It was so good seeing her after a month and a half away taking care of business.  A few minutes later the doorbell rang again & it was Betty coming for her first day, on the team.  I introduced Maria & Betty & they got to talk for a few minutes then the doorbell rang again & it was client asking for a pregnancy test. I asked Martha to do the test & answered the door again & it was another client for a pregnancy test.  I brought her into the all purpose room & Maria & Betty kept her company until our other client was finished.  Martha then took the other client in the Rose Room to do a pregnancy test.  It was sad because she had two previous abortions & a miscarriage & wanted to be pregnant but wasn't.  That's what happens a lot of times, with Post Abortive women, they try to get pregnant again soon after the abortion, to fill the void of the last pregnancy that they ended.  She was sorry that she had the abortions & Martha gave her lots of information to help her to get forgiveness & healing.  I went back into the all purpose room after the clients had left & started to work getting the clothes containers emptied.  Martha instructed Maria on how to give a pregnancy test & Betty helped me with the sorting out the clothes. 

 I then brought up a proposal to Maria, to be a House Mother, in my friends house. They want to use their house as a home for unwed mothers, in Macedon.  The house has many bedrooms, a fireplace, a swimming pool, 5 patios, 3 car garage, acres of land, a completed room downstairs & a great room upstairs & a nice kitchen.  WOW!!  This house will be used to help others.  The owners, who are my friends, have bought 2 houses in Florida & are moving on down.  After I called my friend & Maria spoke with her, a plan was in motion.  Betty also wants to be a House Mother.  Yeah!!  We'll see what the Good Lord wants to happen.  I love it when a plan is in motion.  Maria had to go for it was way after 3pm & we said "good bye " to her & she said that she will see us next week.  Martha, Betty & I continued our work & Tucker came in at 4pm to take his sign & chair & to go outside to pray the Rosary, in front of the Killing Mill, Planned Parenthood.  Martha had to go to baby-sit her grand children. Betty left to take the bus home later on & I stayed to do some paperwork, in the office.  Next week, if we are all caught up with our work in the center, we will go out to the front lines even if the abortionist isn't there.  There is where we make the greatest impression on the public.  Maria might stay in the center, to take care of the clients that come in, next Wednesday.  Team work always! 

My partner, who has been out there on the front lines with me for the past 14 years & I, decided to go to the front lines this morning at 9am, to try to save lives.  We both got there & set up on the front lines with the signs & literature box & mega phone.  He went over to the brick side of the building & I stayed on the bush side of the mill.  I gave him the mega phone to use for he would be more effective on that side of the building closest to the door of Planned Parenthood than I on the bush side which is further away.  This day was a day from Hell.  As I write this I am still recovering from the traumas.  I saw a young girl walking on my side of the sidewalk & I asked her if she needed a pregnancy test & she said "yes".  I told her that we have a pregnancy center & would she like to go there to get a free test.  She said "yes".  I called over to my partner & told him that I would be gone for a little bit.  She acknowledged me & off we went into the center.  I gave her a pregnancy test & counseled her about abstinence then went back outside again.  When I came back on the sidewalk, my partner crossed over the street & was coming towards me.  He said that a gentleman came out of Planned Parenthood & said that his girlfriend was in there for an Etopic pregnancy.  He was counseled to go to the Emergency Room, of the nearest hospital.  He said that he was a Christian & didn't want to be there.  A few minutes later they drove out of Planned Parenthood & waved at us.  This was good, for then to get out of the, Killing Mill & to get the help that she needed in a hospital.   Just then a city truck drove passed us & said that we needed to get our sign off of the 'No Parking' poll.  What!!!  We told him that we have had a sign on this poll for the last 14 years.  He said that the poll was city property & it needed to come down.  I said to my partner that it wasn't worth the stress to argue with him for he just didn't understand what our purpose was out here.  So we took the sign down.  About 10 minutes later he pulled along side of us & worked on getting the 'No Parking' sign up on the sidewalk by the entrance of Planned Parenthood.  I tried to engage him & my partner offered him the DVD Maafa 21: Black Genocide in the 21st. Century but he refused.  Just then a carload of Planned Parenthood workers pulled out of Planned Parenthood & stopped at the exit & the one woman pulled down the car window & started to talk to the city worker.  When they left I told him that they were workers of death.  He said that they were doctors.  I said "no they were not, don't let them tickle your ear".  We tried to educate this man.  Was is hard, oh yes it was. 

When things started to settle down it started up again.  Another young girl was walking down the sidewalk & I asked her if she wanted a pregnancy test & she said "yes" so I led her to the Focus Center.  I brought her to the Rose Room for the test then the Hell began.  She was positive & said that she wanted an abortion & that she had two previous abortions & has a 2 year old daughter & wanted to abort her but she was to far long.  Oh my Lord.  This woman was a serial killer & wanted to continue to kill her babies. What else would you call I?  Abortion is murder even if you don't think so.  I prayed to the Holy Spirit & then went to work.  I put on the Growth & Development DVD & gave her the rubberized 12 week old baby & the Truth packet & the other materials plus our DVD & the movie Bella, that I thought would be helpful.  I put in a Green Scapular in her bag of literature for conversion.  I brought her into the office to give her more information for public assistance. 

 I asked her if she had asked the Lord to forgive her, for her past abortions, & she said "yes" then she said "I have no regrets".  I said that you can't be forgiven if you aren't sorry.  She replied "God understands".  Oh Lord help me here this is scary & oh so sad.  God doesn't understand the murdering of His creation.  This is the first time I heard such nonsense.  I tried to talk to her some more after she filled out the Intake Sheet.  Then she said "am I free to go".  I said "you were always free to go for we don't hold anyone prisoner here but before you go why don't you come with me to the Material Aid Room to get some things for your 2 year old daughter".  She said "fine".  When she came into the room she said that her daughter had so much already & that she didn't need anything else.  I went over to get something quick for her little baby in her womb, to bond.  She then left & my heart sank, for in all my years of counseling, in & out of the center, I only came across a hand full of girls that had no remorse, for their past abortions, & wanted to kill again.  Scary.  I was upset but went back outside to be with my partner.  He said that she went into Planned Parenthood but came out a few minutes later.  I emailed everyone on the email list to pray for her & her precious baby.  We went to the noon Mass & I gave this situation to the dear & offended Lord.  After Mass & was back on the front lines again & I wasn't ready for what happened this afternoon.    

 

 

 

Wednesday, June 23, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood & at Focus

 I got there at the center at 1pm, bringing a friend of mine, to visit for a few minutes before she had to go back to work.  When I got there Betty was there waiting for me.  She had been there for an hour, she 's new, so I said that I get there at 1pm.  She said "no problem".  Dominique wasn't there yet so I had to wonder if she would come back to us.  Well, about an hour later the phone rang, it was her & she said that her doctor had put her on disability & that she wasn't coming back, for the 20 hours per week, but that she would come back next week to help out for a few hours.  Great, for we need you.  Disappointment is what I experience every week.  When I get excited that I will be getting the help that I need in the center, something happens that people either call to cancel or tell me that they can't make it that day.  It's so hard for me.  I feel like I've been punched in the gut.  I have to give it to the Lord & know in my heart that He is watching over the ministry & will provide the help that I need, for the job, that He wants accomplished that day.  Pray & Trust, I must.  I thank God that Pastor Jane't, through the grace of God, brought to the Focus Center dear Betty, for she has been a God sent.  So the dear Lord hasn't forgotten the Focus Center.  She now comes on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, & Thursdays from 1-8pm or later, with me.  :)

I went back into the center.  Martha & Betty were getting ready to go outside to pray & to counsel.  The doorbell rang & it was Maria.  I decided to stay in the center with her for awhile, only to stay there most of the afternoon. 

I went out to bring the lunches for Martha & Betty who were smoldering outside.  I felt badly but Maria needed me in the center too.  Just then, as I was walking back to the center, I saw that a women with a young daughter walking down the sidewalk, across the street.  I called over to her asking if she needed anything for her daughter.  I said "come follow me" & across the street they came & I lead them to the Material Aid Room & then I called Maria in to assist her.  Later, when I came back to the room, I saw that the stroller was gone & Maria said that she took many nice things.  Glad that it worked out for her.  A few minutes later the doorbell rang & it was a young woman asking to come into the Material Aid Room to get some things for her 4 month old daughter.  She took the pink car seat, which was up to code & some baby clothes.  Later on she came back with a car seat stating, that then when she came home, there it was on her porch, so she thought that we could use it.  Thanks so much, that was so nice of you dear one.  I asked Maria to see if that was okay to put out in the room, for they have to be up to pare.  She looked on the car seat to see that the time had expired so we had to put it in the dumpster, that's the way that goes, for we can't give away an expired car seats no matter how good it looks.  Safety first. 

 I went back outside & Martha & Betty told me that a grandmother had brought her granddaughter into Planned Parenthood.  They spoke to her but to no avail.  How evil & how sad.  A young girl came over to them to speak to them & said that she was there for some itching.  She was so very thin & didn't look very healthy.  She later came over to the center to receive some children clothes for her children at home.  She went back to Planned Parenthood to get her medication.  We refer, to the girls, to go Compass Care for their STD testing.  They don't kill little babies there.  If you think that you  have an yeast infection you can go to the drug store, for they have a kit now that can you test to see if you have an yeast infection & to get the medicine to treat it there.  No one has to go to Planned Parenthood for anything. 

 

It was now after 5pm & we all came in, from the front lines, to get supper ready.  We all had our duties & finally we all sat down to eat around 5:30.  It is a special time for us to eat & share at supper time 3 times a week.  After supper which was turkey sausage with onions & roasted red potatoes with spinach & a salad with Ranch dressing & brownies for desert.  Yes, it was good. 

Martha, after she did the dishes had to leave to go to a Parish Council meeting so it was Betty & I to finish up with some things when I received a call on my cell phone.  The young voice asked if we were still open & if she could come in for a pregnancy test.  I said that we were & for her to come on in.  She was there in a few minutes for she had gone to Planned Parenthood & they were not taking in walk ins & she saw our sign out on the sidewalk & called.   I brought her into the Rose Room for a pregnancy test & it was positive.  She was surprised & told me her story.  It's usually complicated & that saddens me so much.  When you have sex your chances of getting pregnant is there because that's how you get a baby is through sex.  So many girls have sex & don't think that they could get pregnant.  Most of the guys are not around or are incarcerated & if they get out & find that the baby isn't theirs they force her to have an abortion, which is murder.  They leave her anyway & then she suffers from Post Abortion Stress Syndrome that no one talks about especially Planned Parenthood, which is bad for business, & the modern medical world who makes $$$ off of the abortion, through doctor visits & the pharmaceutical companies, for the anti depressants that the doctors prescribes for her depression & anxiety.  It goes full circle & the girl is usually the victim of all of this.  My heart goes out & we try, at the center, to make her aware of this cycle & to get Post Abortion help for forgiveness & healing.   She has a child & is post abortive & her boyfriend is in jail & this is her friends baby.  So to say the least I had a lot to teach & information to give her.  Betty was invited to come in at the end to pray with her & to show her some love & support. We then brought her tot the Material Aid Room to get some things for her child at home.  She called a friend to get a ride home but that didn't work out so I drove her home & Betty kept me company.  We love & care about our girls & their children & we offer up our suffering, to God, for them.

 Thursday, June 24, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood

Toady we had Martha, Carole, Bill, who blessed Martha & I with $20 each, thanks Bill, Betty, Melody, Suzanne & myself, were all there.  What a team!!  Since I had enough coverage, out on the front lines, I stayed in the center for awhile to talk with Suzanne, which I hardly ever do, then I joined the team outside.  Just before I left to go out, the doorbell rang & it was a young lady wanting baby clothes, so I told Suzanne & she took it from there.  It's always good to have a counselor, in the center, when we are out on the front lines, so that we don't have to be in both places at once.  When I got out there I spoke with the girls & we decided to go see, one of our own who was in the hospital, after supper, this evening.  Then Carole handed me $50, for the center, she said that she won  $100 at Bingo & gave the center half of that.  Thanks Carole that was so nice of you.

 After awhile I went back into the center for something & then I asked Suzanne if she had any news of any of our babies that were 'saved', if they were born yet?  She said "I have good news & bad news".  "Oh no", I thought.  I then said to her "what is the good news first".  She said that one of our clients ,who was referred  to Dr. N., kept her appointment & likes him & will be using him for her pre natal care".  "Yeah" I answered back!!  "Now for the bad news" I said.  I know what it is, when she said "I have bad news for you".  She then said that the woman that I spoke to last Friday aborted & she wasn't sure if it was on Thursday or Friday, of last week.  I know that it wasn't last week because she was pregnant when I met her & her boyfriend, for she showed me her stomach & she had a small pouch protruding & said that she was 9 weeks along.  This is the story.  Last week I went to the dentist, next to St. Mary's Hospital, & after that I decided to go to the center to do some work there.  I arrived around 3:10 pm & after awhile in the center I decided to go outside to Planned Parenthood to see how many cars were in the parking lot.  When I arrived I saw that the abortionist wasn't there but there were 2 people talking, a man & a woman, in the parking lot.  I called them over to me & they came.  I spoke to them for a few minutes & then offered them some literature & invited them to come with me to the center to get them.  They followed me into the Focus Center.  I again spoke with them about many things.  She was nice & seemed to be a Christian & he gave me a hard time with many questions about Christianity, which I answered through the power of the Holy Spirit.  She became irritated with him saying "What, you don't know that Jesus is the son of God"!!  I asked her what she was doing at Planned Parenthood & she said for pre natal care.  I told them about their Racism & gave them the Truth packet & the DVD on Growth & Development & Maafa 21: Black Genocide in the 21st. Century.  Also our 12 week old rubberized baby & our list of good doctors to go to.  I invited them into the Material Aid Room to get some green & yellow baby clothes & she showed me her bulging belly at that point.  At the end of our time together I asked if they had a Bible.  He said that he has a Koran & she said that she would like a Bible so I went into the Rose Room to get one for her.  On the way out I asked her to write down her name & phone number on the Intake Sheet & if it was okay with her, that Suzanne our counselor, would call her to see if she  needed anything.  "That's fine" she answered back.  As the boyfriend was leaving he turned around to me & said that he was a Muslim.  "Okay" I said back & have a nice day.  He earlier stated that he believed in Science & not Religion & said many weird things.  I asked her if he was her husband or boyfriend  & she said "boyfriend".  He watched to many bad movies like the Di Vinci Code & I told him that.  Needless to say I was very surprised to hear that she had an abortion.  When Suzanne called her she thought that it was Planned Parenthood & said that she was still bleeding.  Suzanne handled the phone call very well.  This, like all our lost babies, was a heart break.  I pondered this over & over in my head.  It was to late, last Friday & the abortionist wasn't there & she looked pregnant, so why in the name of Heaven did she come back on probably Tuesday, to have an abortion, when she wasn't even abortion minded, on Friday???  Only God knows what happened to have someone do this terrible act of violence against another human being, especially one's own child, that God so fearfully & wonderfully created.  I was sick & puzzled, to boot about this, or hearing the news of any precious, innocent baby being killed. 

I went back to the front lines carrying this pain with me.  Martha told me that 3 young girls were heading towards Planned Parenthood & were informed about the Truth.  The two girls, out of the three, did not go into Planned Parenthood to get anything but the hard noised one did.   When she came out she showed Martha & Carole & Betty her condoms.  Oh what a catch!  You'll be the only one with a sexually transmitted disease or get pregnant & what, come back here to the people that care for you (not), & have them kill your sweet baby.  Hope not with all our hearts.  Some of our girls are soooo hard but we love them never the less only to worry about them, a little more than the others.  We wouldn't be out there taking so much disappointment & hatred & chaos if we didn't love them & their children but especially the dearly offended Lord & Savior. 

We came in around 5pm to set up for supper & then went to Strong to visit our dear friend.  Thank God that I had my 3 friends with me, for I was near the very building that, the gang rape took place back in 1971, at Strong Memorial Hospital.  It was in the Research Center.  They gave me their love & support & prayers, after the visit of our friend, in the Abbots parking lot on Mt. Hope, eating ice cream.  The things of the past can be healed with the prayers & love, of the present.  Thanks guys, for your prayers & thanks Martha for the ice cream.

Tuesday, June 29, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood & in Focus

What a day I had today!  There isn't enough words to express what I experienced this day.  When I first arrived, one of the seasoned pro lifers, was already there.  He came out of the center to tell me that we already had a client that was in the Material Aid Room getting things for her child.  I walked into the room & said "hello".  I knew that Martha was right behind me for we came to the center right after Mass & I saw her park her car on the street, where she won't get hit.  I went into the office & I saw that the red light was blinking, on the phone, which means that I had a  message.  I knew also that the other pro lifer was going to get things set up on the sidewalk & would sidewalk counsel, so I didn't have to worry about the coverage on the front lines & also I knew that Mary S. & Donna come at this time & would be with him on the sidewalk, as Martha & I would be in the center, for awhile.   I took the phone message & it was Sandy, calling in today, for she wasn't feeling well.  Sorry to hear that.  We are short one person now.  Just then my cell phone went off & it was Betty saying that she was a patient at the Strong Hospital.  What next, I'm afraid to pick up any more phones.  She had a non life threatening health problem & will be home on Friday, thank God, & will be back at the center next Tuesday.  That sounds good to me Betty.  She requested to stay in the center & not to go outside on the front lines.  Understandable.  I know was in the hallway & heard the doorbell so I went to answer it as I passed the Material Aid Room I saw that Martha was in the room helping our mom, which I knew that she would.  We have this quiet understanding with each other.  I went to the door & there was our client that "Chose Life".  I said "hi dear one it is so good to see you, I thought that you said that you were coming in on Thursday but that's okay I'm glad to see you today".  And then I gave her a big hug.  I said that because I know that Suzanne, our counselor on Thursdays, would love to have seen her too.  I brought her & her two friends into the Material Aid Room.  Martha was pleased to have seen her too.  One of her friends requested a pregnancy test but needed some water to help make that possible.  So Martha went to get her a bottle of water in the office refrig.  I asked our client how she was doing & she said that she was doing fine & that her baby was due now in August & not in September.  Great!!  I asked if she need anything & she said a bassinet.  I said "are you kidding me, we have a beautiful bassinet in the back room but it's blue & you're having a girl".  "That's okay" she said so I said "okay lets go get it".  Once she saw it she was so happy, even if it was blue, who really cares, right.  The smile on her face was priceless.  Just then Donna came in to use the bathroom & saw us together talking & she came over to us & said "so you're having a boy".  Are you kidding me.  Our sweet client just smiled & said "no I'm having a girl".  It has already started.  But that's okay, for it was free & beautiful.  Her baby daughter won't be affected in the least by everyone thinking that she is a boy or I should say I hope not.  I was so happy that our client was happy.  I told her to come back if she needed anything else & that I wanted to see the baby after she was born & for her to bring her in for us t see.  She said that she would.  Great!!  Her friend took the pregnancy test & was counseled by Martha & off they went, very happy, all 3 of them.  See you soon :)

 

I got to talk to Martha for about 3 minutes when the doorbell rang again.  There was another mother wanting baby & children's clothes.  Martha brought her into the Material Aid Room & I went into the office, to do somethings, before going out to the front lines, to join the team.  After Mass today Paula gave us 2 huge bags of clothes, that was now in the general meeting room, to be put away hopefully by Melody when she comes in today & also Mary S. when she came today, to be on the front lines during her lunch hour, gave us 3 bags full of clothes too.  Thanks you guys.  Melody will be very busy when she gets here today.  Martha was still in the Material Aid Room so I went in to help her but the door was locked.  I knocked on the door & Martha let me in.  It was the 3 year old little girl that locked the door & when I said "no honey , don't lock the door" I got a look that would make your hair curl.  Oh boy!  Another mother was now in the room too with her son.  All I know is that someone, had pulled off all my flower stickers, that I had put on the wooden shelves, where I have the baskets of clothes. That's the price that you pay when you give out 'free clothes'.  It gets so busy, in the room, that it's hard to watch everyone & kids can be fast.  I forgive whoever did that to my beautiful room. 

 

Martha finally was able to leave to go out to join the team.  I was hoping to be not to far behind her but I was wrong.  The doorbell rang & it was another mother with her son.  They come about once or twice a month.  I invited them into the room to look around. I noticed that the young boy who is about 8 years old had his head shaved, so I commented on it saying that it must be cooler in the summertime.  No the mom said I had his head shaved because he came home with you know what, oh no I said to myself then she said what she said "lice".  "Oh" I said, you're kidding, as my head began to itch.  She said that if he had any you would see them.  I'm glad that there were none, for my hair is down to my waist, & I'm not ready for a buzz cut yet.  She said that she has some things to bring in, for the Material Aid Room, but I said that maybe not, after what she had just told me.  They left with some nice things & came back later to get the blue sleeping bad.  Right on! 

 

The doorbell rang again & it was Melody, boy was I glad to see her.  I said hi & gave her a hug, for I am a hugger  then I put her to work.  I asked if she could make some sandwiches & she said "yes", for I was anxious to go outside to be with the team.  Just then the doorbell rang & it was another mother who needed clothing for her child.  I brought her into the room & then the doorbell rang again.  I answered it & brought her & her son in the room too.  I went & got Melody to go into the Material Aid Room, to assist the mothers, & I would finish making up the sandwiches.  I wolfed down my sandwich as I was making it.  I wrapped, the one sandwich that I made for Martha, & put it into the lunch bag along with the Tortilla chips, a cookie, blueberries & grapes & a bottled water.   I knew that she would be happy with this.  Not.  She didn't like the lemon pepper chicken, that I used, to make her sandwich.  Picky, picky.  She didn't finish it.  I understand.  Sorry Martha, plain chicken, next time. 

 I am not kidding.  As I was finally going out the doorbell rings & it was Donna & a young girl & I thought, her daughter.  Donna said that the girl was pregnant & was upset because she was at Planned Parenthood trying to get her ultrasound pictures but PP won't give them to her.  Why?  I brought them into the Rose Room & asked how she was feeling.  She asked to go to the bathroom so I showed her where to go.  She hadn't had breakfast so I got her a health bar & a bottled water.  I then called the doctor but the office was closed today.  So said that she doctor was at Strong so I said why don't you go there.  Donna said that she would take her so off they went.  Later on they came back.  She was feeling better so they went to lunch instead,  She looked & felt better.  To no avail she couldn't get her ultrasound pictures from Planned Parenthood, so Donna called the police.  They couldn't do anything but at least they know that Planned Parenthood stinks.  Right!

 

I left to go out on the front lines to give Martha her lunch & to see how things were going.  Not good to say the least.  The male pro lifer was threatened by a young man that brought his girlfriend in to have her precious baby killed.  I was told that he was sitting on the bench.  I hollered over to him something & he replied that he had no control in the matter.  I said "you drove her in so you are now an accomplice to the crime".  He just looked down on the ground.  About an hour later he & his girlfriend, drove out of Planned Parenthood, without their precious little baby.  Where is your baby?  Carole was out there & it was good to see her today too.  I looked over across the street to see that the young girl who told me that she was using the Depo shot was smoking.  I called over to her & told her that the shot & cigarettes don't mix.  She told me to go to hell & that she would save me a space.  What, I said I don't want to go there & I hope that you don't either.  I just want to let you know that the Depo shot is dangerous especially if you smoke & that you are in danger of a heart attack or stroke or cancer. Just because I care, dear & you don't.

 

Just then two girls drove into Planned Parenthood & said something to me that I cannot repeat on my 'Front Line Weekly" report.  It was disgusting.  It's so very sad to see that the caliber of womanhood go down the drain because of immorality. 

 

I had to go back into the center & when I was there the doorbell rang & it was a young mother with her young son.  She said that she needed clothes so I brought her into the Material Aid Room for some things.  Another woman just then came in with her daughter.  I said to her "when are you due"?  Just then the other woman that I let in first with her son said out loud "I'm pregnant too".  I asked for her to come over to me & when she did I brought her into the Rose Room to talk.  I asked her what her plans were.  She said that she was going to parent her baby.  That's good.  Then she said that her mother wanted her to have an abortion for she already has a son & that she's not ready to have another.  Her mother told her that she would pay for it & that she would help her out more if she had an abortion.  Our little lady told me that she said to her mother "why can't you help me now & have the baby".  She also told me that she doesn't live with her mother.  "Thank God" I said back.  I then told her that I respected her very much for not giving in to the evil of her mother & have an abortion.  Then she said that she wanted her to have an abortion with her 4 year son.  I turned my head to look at him & almost cried, for this precious boy was so cute & loving & created by God himself & for her mother wanting to destroy him was unbelievable to me. I said that I was sadden to hear this.  I asked her to fill out an Intake Sheet so that Suzanne could call her on Thursdays.  I gave her our DVD & some other brochures & helpful information for her to get the assistance that she needs.  I told her to come back to get some things when she knows if she is going to have a little boy or girl.  I said to the little boy that mommy was going to have a little brother or sister for him & then she touched her stomach & said to her son "mommy is gong to have a baby".  He said back to her "mommy is going to have a baby, yeah".  So sweet he was.  She tanked me & went back into the room to finish shopping.  Just then the doorbell rang & it was one of our clients from last week.  I made an appointment for her to got to Matthew's Closet for some 'free' clothes for her & her child but that she missed her appointment because she had to go to DSS.  I said that I would call over there to see if they would take her now & they did.  I filed out another sheet for reference & gave it to her & off she went to Matthew's Closet on Bay St.  She said "thank you' & I was glad that they told her to come on in.  It worked out well.

Wednesday, June 30, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood

It was Martha & I at the center first.  I went to the front lines to see if the abortionist was there & thank God, she wasn't, so I went back to the center to tell Martha.  We decided to get a bite to eat first, for it's better to eat in the center than on the sidewalk.  We do only if we have to & we can't get away to go into the center for a quick lunch.  I then set the table & made the sandwiches.  Thank you Lord for our refrigerator, for we just bring the food & then make the sandwiches fresh.  It was a God sent & I don't know how we made it without it in the past, oh yes I do, for God provides another way.  It all works out.  Martha was in the Material Aid Room putting away baby & children's clothes while I was working in the kitchenette.  Lunch was on!  I called Martha in & then we partook in chicken sandwiches, homemade macaroni salad & ice tea.  Then the doorbell rang & it was Tony & his granddaughter, who is 6 years old.  They sat down to partake too.  It was a blessed time & then Martha brought her into the Material Aid Room & she got a stuffed animal & she called it 'Christina'.  Her grand father told her that she had soooo many already & that she really didn't need anymore but she looked at him with her puppy dog eyes & he said "okay".  Then she asked me who was feeding him, she meant the stuffed teddy bear.  Oh my!!!  The innocence of children.  We were almost finished & then Maria came in.  She said that she was going onto the front lines by the brick side of the building.  I said that we weren't to far behind her on the side, where the bushes were, of Planned Parenthood.  Off she goes & in came Carole.  Great.  She stopped by to drop off the Bella movie that we gave her to watch  she was returning it, for she wasn't able to be with us tomorrow or even next Tuesday, for she was going away.  I asked if she had time to go outside with us for  a little while & she said that she had 2 hours that she could give us.  Great Carole.!  So off we all go in front of Planned Parenthood, all six of us, including our 6 year old.  We went & got the signs, the mega phone & literature box & went to the front lines.  I got there first & saw that a young man was sitting on the bench in front of Planned Parenthood.  I called over to him & offered him help & told him what Planned Parenthood was all about (the short version) & he started to holler nasty things to me & then stood up & did a gesture with his hands, between his legs, at me.  I guess this was to shock me so I'd shut up but to no avail it didn't work.  I went on talking to him & then big Tony took over.  The kid was relentless & obnoxious to say the least & then left to back inside the killing mill.  Win some lose some, it's hard & disappointing to say the least. 

He came out with his girlfriend about 20 minutes later & she had a paper in her hands.  They passed by Maria who was on the other side from us.  She said later that she took a look in his eyes & said nothing to him as he passed her, on the sidewalk.  He was mean looking.  I only hope & pray that she wasn't going to come back tomorrow to have her baby killed, if she was pregnant.  Run sweetheart, just get away from him.  Some of these girls don't know what they got themselves into with some of these guys.  But killing the baby won't help, it just will create different problems, & then you'll be Post Abortive for the rest of your life.  Lord have Mercy!  Tony & his grand daughter had to go so we said "good bye" to them.  It was nice of him to stop by & to visit & to pray with us out on the sidewalk.  Martha, Carol & I were on the sidewalk now with Maria on the other side with all her signs.  Just then a middle aged, around (maybe older looking) woman, with red sneakers on, was walking on the sidewalk, coming towards us.  I informed her that if she was going into Planned Parenthood she was going into a racist organization.  But that didn't seem to bother her any & off she goes into the driveway, of Planned Parenthood, & into the building.  We all just looked at each other & signed.  I had to go into the center for a while & later when I came back out onto the front lines the girls told me that she came back out with the condom bag in her hands.  Martha told her about condoms & she just smirked & said that they were for her niece & then began to wiggle her hips, with her red shoes on, going down the sidewalk.  She must have just felt twenty again!!  Remember, I mentioned that she was an older looking woman.  I don't make these things up. 

A couple of girls passed by us & I started to talk to them.  The one girl said that they had the Implanon, birth control sticks, put in their arms.  I said that I had a brochure on that drug & for them to follow me into the center to receive it.  They did, for they were in a hurry to catch the bus.  The bus can wait but your health can't.  They said that they were told that not to many doctors use this.  I said "right, they shouldn't".  I was so upset that these two precious girls were deceived & was putting their health at risk, of many dangerous side effects, as well as for ALL contraceptives.

Also check out 'One More Soul', about contraceptives risks @:  http://onemoresoul.com/contraception/risks-consequences/what-a-woman-should-know-about-birth-control.html.

 

Just then the doorbell rang & it was a young girl who needed baby clothes.  I brought her into the center & she helped herself.  We can do this for we are blessed with many nice things & the more that we give away the more we receive from the kindness of the great pro lifers, to replace it.  Thank you dear Lord!!  We also have a stroller, that someone gave us in good condition, to give away.  I remember that a client had asked for one so I brought it into the extra room, off the meeting room, that we're not paying rent for, thanks Bernie (our landlord), for the use of part of the big room, until you fix it up & rent it out, for storing our big things in.  God is Good!  We get along well with, all the businesses, that we share the hallway & meeting room with.  Which is the Taxi company & our Accountant & the Realtor. One big 'happy family'. 

 

I went back outside to be with the girls.  They told me what was going on & I know of at least 3 more fallen off fingers, according to Carole, who wants their finger to fall off, if they give us this sick gesture.  Makes sense to me.  It is "the universal sign of disrespect".  It has a sexual connotation to it & it's not nice.  It's really saying "I hope that you get raped".  Which doesn't set well with us.  She hates that 'the bird' gesture & so does Martha & I & all the team, both male & female alike.  This is what a bird looks like:   

 

 

 

 It was 4pm & Tucker had just arrived, he stays out by himself, to pray & to witness. Carole had to go, so us girls went into the center, Martha, Maria & I to do some work.  Maria said that she would order a pizza & it would be a surprise & it was.  She came back about 20 minutes with the pizza.  I flipped the lid & said to myself "what is this"?  Just then she said I have a Buffalo wings pizza for you girls.  Really, okay for I was hesitant for I never had one before & really it didn't even look appealing to eat.  But BOY WAS IT GOOD!!!  What a nice surprise to say the least.  Thanks Maria for this great pizza.  She got it at the new gas station & food service up the street on East Main St. that just opened.  I never would have guessed.  She said that it was a toss up of this pizza or the cream of broccoli pizza, maybe next time we'll try that one.  After supper we did some work, Martha & I, for Maria had to go.

Thursday, July 1, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood

After Mass, Suzanne introduced me to her friend, that came in to visit her & they were heading over to the Focus Center to see it.  When I got there, there was Suzanne & her friend , so I started to open up all the rooms, for her to see.  I noticed that she had brought some things in for our mothers too.  It is soooo busy when I first get here, that I'm thinking of getting my body there earlier, so that I can get some things done earlier, before going out to the front lines.  Sometimes when I get here, there is a mother or two already waiting for me to open up, so that they could go to the Material Aid Room, to get what they need.  Word is getting out.  Martha was getting the things to go outside & Bill was already there witnessing across the street, from Planned Parenthood.  Great job Bill!!  I stayed to make the sandwiches & I heard the doorbell ring.  It was John.  I felt, in my spirit, that I was going to see John today & I did.  It was the Holy Spirit & John said the same.  He felt that he was suppose to be here today & so he came. Great!! 

After I ate quickly my sandwich, for there is an advantage in making the sandwiches, I went to the front lines to be with the troops.  Just then a woman was walking towards Planned Parenthood & I told her about the racism there but she walked in there anyway.  How sad!  Then the school bus driver honked at us with all his gusto & the kids in the school bus waved.  It was so good an experience for us who are so abused, at times.  "Blessed are the persecuted for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven".  Yeah!!!  I had to go back into the center, to talk to Suzanne about something, & I left Martha & John & Bill to do what they do best & that is to witness.  When I came back out, I need to stop doing that, for whenever I leave & come back out, there is usually a problem.  I saw that the woman that I had confronted before I went into the center was arguing with Martha & John.  I went to get my sign, to stand on the sidewalk to witness but when I heard what she was saying & reacted.  She said that she was pro choice & that it was her body.  I told her that she was "pro death" & why would you do that to your body"?  Then she said that she wasn't Black, okay you're Afro American, sorry.  Still Planned Parenthood is targeting you as a Race.  Then she started to do a Praise the Lord dance, saying Alleluia.  I said that you can do that only after you repent first for thinking that it's okay to kill God's children, through abortion.  Bill came over, from across the street, & their faces were inches apart, to close for comfort, so I faked calling the police to get her off of the sidewalk.  It worked.  It usually does work, but there were two times that the guys were so arrogant, that they stayed to greet the police, that never came.  But this is a good tactic to avoid any altercations, on the sidewalk.  Off she goes, walking down the sidewalk, still defending her right to kill her baby.  Not!!  Sometimes you just can't get through to them.  As she was walking away, there was Jim Bovay, the neighbor who lives across the street from the abortion mill, standing on the sidewalk across the street, just looking at me with his beedy eyes.  Do you believe it!  I don't.  We have been trying to convert him & the other neighbors, for the past 14 years to no avail, that they are killing littler babies at Planned Parenthood & that you should be doing something about it, like protesting with us.  Brain dead.  No one home mentality. There he is standing, across the street, like a board just looking at me.  Then he says "Mary you're crazy".  Then John hollers over to him "then we're all crazy too".  Then Jim spins his hand, by his head, to imply that I'm nuts.  No Jim the word is out that it's you that's nuts.  Anyone who believes that abortion, which is the slaughter of the innocent is okay, then they are ready for the funny farm.  I'll drive.  How sad is this.  I asked him to "go away" & he did, back into his own world of denial.  It must be lonely there, oh no I forgot, he has his wife Sue & the rest of the neighbors to keep him company.  Icky!   Misery loves company, so they say.  I was glad that this old tart was gone.  Yes, it got heated out there on the sidewalk, with this girl that was being convicted by her own words.  It's funny, that a little noise bothers him, but not the killing of little, innocent babies, across the street, from where he lives.  Something is wrong with this picture, that's for sure. 

 

I went back into the center & while I was there I asked Suzanne if she had any news for me.  She said that she did.  Great News!!  I just wanted you to know that we have a new Focus baby who was born on 6-28-10, a little boy Arian @ 6lbs. 15 oz., 20 inches long.  Mother & child are doing well.  Praise God that she 'chose life' for her son.  We are so happy, to say the least.  It's been a rough week, out on the front lines, so this is very good news, for us warriors.  Many babies are to be born this year & three to be born in January of 2011.  Yeah!!  God is Great & His grace is sufficient.  
 

 Our little Akira, who was born prematurely last year at 1lb. 8oz., will be 1 years old next Thursday, July 8th.  Praise God!!  She is 20 lbs. now & can stand up briefly & roll over.  She can't hold her bottle but will soon, I'm sure.  She mumbles some sounds & is as cute as can be.  We at the Focus Center are wishing our little Akira a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! 

 

Melody came in so I kept her busy making up new packets.  Also, a woman came in named Rose, (she called me on my cell phone earlier this week) & said that she belongs to the Baden Street program, & wants to volunteer at the center, for 16 hours each week.  It looks like she will be starting next Tuesday.  Hopefully she will come to join us, in our work, to save & to change lives for Christ.   Welcome Rose!!

 I went back out side to be with Martha & John.  We stayed out there for another hour or two & then started to put things away, back into the center.  I stayed outside, a little while longer, for I felt that I was in & out all afternoon & that I didn't spend enough time outside.  Just then a car stopped, where I was standing, on the sidewalk.  I went up to the car & put my head in the open window & asked the driver if I could help her. She said that she saw us on Tuesday & was going to stop but went on her way but decided to stop to talk to me today.  This is her story:  She said that Planned Parenthood scheduled an abortion for her at 4 months, at Strong Memorial Hospital, with the abortionist Nancy Stanwood, who does second trimester abortions there.  She said that she deeply regrets it now.  "What was I thinking", she said to me.  I wish that I never did that to my precious baby.  I am a mother of four & I believed a lie that I couldn't raise another child, but I was wrong.  I have named my baby.  She said that she blamed her boyfriend & that he was blaming her for the abortion.  This is typicial.  I asked her if she could follow me into the Focus Center to receive more information that I had for her & she said "yes, of course".  She followed me into the center & I got all our Post Abortive informational brochures that I had, to give to her.  I encouraged her to call Project Rachel, which is local, first.  She said that she would & I hope & pray that she will so that she can continue her healing & forgiveness journey.  I asked if she had asked the Lord to forgive her & she said that she did.  That's good, I said.  Abortion, is a mortal sin, which if not forgiven, can lead you straight into Hell, after death.  Repent & I say it again Repent & don't wait to do it.  Do it now, for you may not have tomorrow.  She gave me a big hug & out the door she went, hopefully a more healed person, then when she first came in.

  All of us were now, in the center from the street ministry, so now was the decision for supper.  I suggested another pizza at the same place.  Good idea everyone said.  I called & we decided on a garlic broccoli pizza.  So John was going to pick it up after the Mass, at St. Stanislaus Church, at 5:30pm.  Just then Pastor Jane't came in to bless us with her presence & teaching & to lead the meeting, of the minds & hearts.  We went into the Rose Room to talk & to review the day & later on John came in with the pizza, around 6:10pm, & with a free bottle of Sprite, to boot.  Everyone liked the pizza very much.  I was not gracious, or I should say I was rude, for I had two pieces of pizza & I should have given another one to Jane't, so that she had two pieces & I had one.  I can be selfish & I do apologize dear Jane't, I'm sorry for my selfishness.  Not nice of me.  

 After everyone had left, John stayed to work on to revise the Client Intake Sheet, on the computer.  I did some other things, in the center, for there is always something to do there to keep busy.  I wish that I had more time to do what I need to do there.  The next project is to re paint the Meeting Room.  I'll ask the guys, who are painting my apartment to do it, I'll pay them to do it.  I spoke to the landlord & he said that he would buy the paint, so maybe I'll change the color of the paint, from a mint green to a deeper green.  We'll see.  I'll have to look at the color charts first then decide.

Tuesday, July 7, 2010 in front in Planned Parenthood

We had Martha, Rob, John, Scott, Donna, Mary S., Carmen, Jerry & myself outside & in the center we had Rose, Betty, Sandy & Melody, was this not a good day or what!!   I was in & out of the center all afternoon, that's my job, to be in more than one place, at a time.  Sometimes I feel like my Guardian Angel lifts me up & fly's me to where I need to go.  It's Heavenly. I was in the center, to do an orientation with Rose, our new person, for she will be helping out in the center three days a week.  Betty made the chicken sandwiches for me to take out to the front lines for Martha & John & myself. I offered water to everyone & most wanted a bottle of water, I suggested to them to drink it quickly, for if you didn't then it would be to warm to drink, for it was 100 degrees today or maybe it was 96 degrees, it felt like it was 100 degrees, whatever.  We were blessed with a light breeze which helped us to survive.  Thank you Lord for breathing gently on us.

I was at the fence calling to the girls going into Planned Parenthood & then all of a sudden I heard a loud voice say "Mary.....  SHUT UP".  I looked across the street to see the nasty neighbor Jim, who has the condo, across the street from the Planned Parenthood, closest to Windsor St., cup his hands to holler this to me.  I just ignored him & went on calling out to the victims, of Planned Parenthood, to try to save them from death & destruction.  He had nothing better to do, poor neighbor, why don't you just move, for I'm not going away until Planned Parenthood closes.

The two long standing death escorts were there today.  Sylvia Rose & Barry Swan.  They are the two longest deathers to date.  'Evil' doesn't grow tired, either does 'good'.  We, pro lifers, are in it to the end.  I was calling the male death escort "perverted" which his actions apply, for he is approaching the girls cars & leading them into Planned Parenthood, to have their babies killed & for them to be deceived & ruin their lives & souls. This is evil of both the male & female death escorts. Definition of:

Depraved: deviating from what is considered moral or right or proper or good; "a perverted sense of loyalty".

Perversion is a concept describing those types of human behavior that are a serious deviation from what is considered to be orthodox or normal.
Sounds right to me to describe what all the death escorts, abortionist & staff are doing at Planned Parenthood.  Depraved & perverted behavior in killing 'little people'.  One of the pro lifers asked if I could be sued for slander saying this to him.  No, I don't think so, for it applies.  The Truth is the Truth & this is the Truth.

A truck parked in front of the Planned Parenthood's building, right in front of the brick side, in back of another car.  She got out & put some money in the meter & then walked into Planned Parenthood, while walking she gave me the 'bird'.  I said "please don't show me your IQ, for we are here to help you for you are going into a place that kills children".  Off she goes into the building.  She came out about 15 minutes later & I tried to talk to her again & she shows her IQ again for a longer time, this time.  I pleaded with her for she was caring a brown paper bag, which could mean condoms or the Morning after Pill, which acts as an abortificiant which(kills a person earlier on).  I could tell by her 'body language that I was getting no where with her.  She got into her truck & then I heard a noise.  I said to the male pro lifer "I think that she just hit the car that's in front of her, just now".   He said in a nervous voice "that's my car!" & started to run over to see what damage, that had possibly been done, to his car.  I walked over to be with him.  He told her that she just had hit his car & bent over to see if there was any damage done to it.  It didn't look like that there was, thank God.  I had a Truth packet with me & the male pro lifer asked her if she would take it & she said "okay" & took the packet.  I said to her that they are killing children in there & I get a little emotional, as a woman, so forgive me if I was hard on you.  I told her about the Morning after Pill & she said that she was in there for condoms & that they told her that she could get 'free birth control'.  I said that there was a lot of information, in the packet that will educate her about birth control.  She said that her past boyfriend was in jail & they broke up & she need the condoms for her new boyfriend.  Then she said that she was once a Catholic, not sure why she mentioned that but we addressed that too.  The pro lifer said that there was a Rosary in the packet & for her to start to say it & I mentioned for her to go to the Sacrament of Confession.  She smiled a little smile & then said "is everything okay now to the male pro lifer"?  He said that his car was fine.  So she smiled at him & said to him "thanks".  Off she went back into the world a more educated person who now has a 'second chance', with her life & soul.  See how God works, it's amazing!!!

 Wednesday, July 8, 2010 in front in Planned Parenthood

When Martha, John and I arrived to the center I went quickly over to the fence see if the abortionist was there and she was to my disappointment.  I stayed, on the sidewalk & started to talk to someone who was at the entrance of Planned Parenthood.  I spoke to them briefly & then I saw that Bill, had stopped his van & got out & was sprinkling Holy Water on the sidewalk in front of Planned Parenthood.  Then I saw that Tim had stopped his van across the street & was praying.  This was all very good.  After everyone had left I went into the center to tell Martha & John & for them to get outside as soon as possible with the signs & literature box.   A client had come into the Material Aid Room so I said that I would take care of the client if they go outside.  Then Rose, Betty & Maria arrived.  I asked Rose to assist the client & she did.  Betty was putting the food that she had prepared, in the refrigerator.  Can't wait for the barbecue ribs & chicken for later.  Marie went outside to witness on the brick side of the building.  I stayed in the center to give some instructions to Rose & Betty.  I asked if they could make our lunch & for me to take it out to Martha & John for they hadn't eaten yet.  They said that they would.  Thanks so much ladies.  About 15 minutes later I went out, with the freshly made chicken sandwiches with chips, to their delight. 

But before Martha could eat it a couple of girls were walking up the sidewalk, so went up to them to talk to them & then I saw her leading them into the center.  I don't like eating outside but it's better than fainting.  She came out about 15 minutes later hopefully could now eat her lunch but no.  I didn't ask her & she approached another young girl coming up the sidewalk & took her to the center but this time she took her sandwich.  Great idea Martha.  She came out about a 30 minutes later. After she came back I went back into the center to see how things were going.  About 10 minutes later Martha was in the center & with her were a pregnant woman & a man & a beautiful little girl.  She brought them into the Rose Room & the Material Aid Room, for a stroller.  What happened was they went into Planned Parenthood to get some information regarding pre natal doctors & were told, as they were going in, by the death escort  "not to listen to those crazy people out there".  Who are you talking about 'death escort'?  Don't talk about yourself that way.  When they came out Martha interceded & lead them to the Focus Center to assist them.  The pregnant woman told Martha that she was told by the woman at the front desk, in Planned Parenthood,  that all they were doing today were termination's.  My heart was sickened by that comment.  So casual in saying that all they were doing today was ending the lives of innocent, voiceless defenseless children.  How sick, How evil!!!  Martha assisted this family & got her connected to a good doctor who will see her tomorrow morning with her high risk pregnancy.  They went back into the Material Aid Room to get some things for their precious daughter to take with them.  Out the door they go, with their new stroller & very happy that they were well taken care of, in a place that doesn't kill babies.

Martha & I were now back on the front lines & prayed & sidewalk counseled. We took the abuse of the people going in & out of Planned Parenthood.  I spoke to a woman who a young son in the back seat of the car & as she was going into the driveway she said to me "I have a young son in my car".  I said "then you shouldn't be bringing him into this abortion mill".  She got out of her car & came around the bushes to where Martha, John & I were standing.  I prayed t be ready to confront her & there she was right on the sidewalk now.  She said "I ask you not to say anything for my son is with me".  I offered her the Maafa 21: Black Genocide in the 21st. Century, DVD. She said "if I take it then will you not say anything to my son & I when I walk back into the parking lot".  I said "yes, if you take & watch this DVD we'll not say anything to you & your son".  "Okay" she said & she took it & walked back into the parking lot & as she was turning the corner she said "I just want you to know that I agree with you", then left.  We honored her request & they finally left about 20 minutes later.  I only hope & pray that she keeps her promise & watches the DVD.  Amen sister.  Please don't come back to Planned Parenthood again with your son.

A gentleman was walking down the sidewalk & I asked him if he wanted a Rosary, we began to talk & Martha offered him the Maafa 21 DVD & he took it & said that he & his friends will watch it.  Hopefully so, what a surprise it will be for you & your friends.  One DVD at a time to educate & to change the minds of the people, through the grace of God.  Sooner or later someone will get the message that Planned Parenthood is killing off the Black Race & will do something about it in a peaceful way, like organizing a huge protest against Planned Parenthood, held over 100 days, right in front of the building 24/7.  The media would pick up on the story & it would be covered on all local TV channels & the Democrat & (liberal) Chronicle, would do a story on the front page & it would be a fair & balanced article, a page long, telling what Planned Parenthood does, like kills people & not reporting statuary rape & targeting the Black Race (Black Genocide) & are sex perverts, check out their Teen Wire web site, which would make your hair curl.  Where is every one?  I can only dream, & I do.

I went back into the center & I got a call on my cell phone & it was a woman who wanted a pregnancy test.  I told her to come on in & gave her directions to our center.  She arrived about 30 minutes later.  Martha did the pregnancy test & as she was in the Material Aid Room getting some things for her other children, I asked her how she found out about us.  She said that she googled 'free pregnancy tests' & the Focus Pregnancy Help Center & the Place of Hope, came up, she choose us.  She was happy with the results & I was too.  She was a very pleasant woman that didn't believe in destroying 'life'.  What a nice client.  She made my day, that's for sure.

Maria had to go, for an appointment, so supper had to get started.  The ribs & chicken & all the fixings were being microwaved & was being served.  What a meal & thank you Betty.  Her barbecue sauce was sooo good & I asked her for the recipe & she said "if I tell you I'd have to kill you".  I said "that's okay Betty, never mind, not worth dying for".  Everyone has a sense of humor, I guess.  Great meal!  I'll have to do the dishes now.

Thursday, July 9, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood

John & I went to the center after the noon Mass downtown.  John was hungry so I promised him a sandwich as soon as Rose arrived but he was to hungry to wait so he took the plastic container of my home fries with a bottle of ketchup, on the front lines, eating.  I was a little miffed at him that he couldn't wait, like I asked him to, for it didn't look good eating out on the front lines like that, a sandwich is bad enough.  I have to realize that he is giving his time freely & he was hungry.  He said that he only had some juice for breakfast, I only ask if he could add some eggs, bacon & toast with that juice next time.  He was now out there on the front lines & Bill was across the street & the abortionist wasn't there. 

I went over to the fence & I saw that a young girl & guy were standing at the entrance of Planned Parenthood & he was smoking a cigarette.  I called over to them, pleading with them, not to kill their precious baby.  I said everything I could think of saying & they went into the building any how.  I left to go back to the center to see how Rose was doing & to give her directions for the afternoon.  Suzanne & Pat, our new counselor for Monday afternoons, were going to be there at 3pm today due to some appointments.  I couldn't wait for them to come.  When I went back outside I saw that the abortionist had come in, to do her Thursday afternoon killings.  My heart dropped, for I knew that the two young people that I pleaded with earlier, were her first victims, of the afternoon.  I almost cried, I'll have to save it for later. 

John was calling out to the people going into the killing mill.  There was a young girl with very short hair acting as a Death Escort today.  Smiling & greeting her victims leading them to the Door of Death, for their little ones.  I know that I'm wasting my time on the Death Escorts & the workers at Planned Parenthood so, through the grace of God I hope to stop talking to them.  The bible says "not to cast your pearls to swine".  That's what I'm doing.  Besides I'm  probably not acting 'Christ like' at times & I don't want to hurt the Lord anymore than He's being hurt already.  We never curse or swear but I do call begin names, at times at them, but on a whole I tell them to "repent", which I guess is Greek to them, though I have explained it to them on occasion.  What I say is falling on deaf ears.  I know that I'm
angry that they are a part of killing little innocent, precious babies, which God had just created in the wombs of their mothers & that people shouldn't kill kids, let alone it being their own mother.  It will ONLY take God's grace to penetrate their stony hearts, not me.  God be the Glory!

Just then Jerry & Charles showed up to pray, the Rosary, across the street. I went back into the center to get more bottled water & a chicken sandwich for John.  There was Bernie, our landlord, finally fixing the front door so that it would close behind us.  It's taken him 3 months to fix the front door.  Oh well better late than never.  He just trimmed the bushes about a week ago too.  Great job Bernie!  Maybe it's starting to look better where we are, in the corner, of the strip mall.  When David Gantt finally leaves his office, at the end of the strip mall where we are, we'll take his office & our pregnancy center will be more visible to the street & sidewalk.  Can't wait!!!  :)

I went over to Jerry, after he was finished with the Rosary, to ask him if he could paint the Meeting Room, now.  He gave me a hard time first but finally he did it.  He didn't have a good paint brush to work with & he had his good clothes on but other than that he went to work.  Sorry about that. The room has an accented wall a dark green & the rest of the room has a lighter green.  Looks great Jerry & thank you.  Sorry for the short notice.

Suzanne & Pat arrived & Suzanne was training Pat to the work at the center. I just a call, on my cell phone, from the Mercy Outreach Center asking if we could take a client & do a pregnancy teat.  I said "yes, ask her to come on over, does she know where we are located"?  The answer came "yes, she does".  I told Suzanne to expect a client to come in for a pregnancy teat in the next 30 minutes or so.  She did arrive & Suzanne took her into the Rose Room. When the client was in the bathroom I saw that there was Suzanne, Pat & Rose in the room & said "there should be only one person in here". Suzanne smiled & said that they all prayed together & the client said that it was fine to have all three in the room at the same time for the test. Whatever the client says is fine with me.  This is not usually the case but today it was & Suzanne was able to show both Pat & Rose how assist with the pregnancy tests, though we have our clients do the test, we only set up for the test, & the client does the test & reads the test results.  We ask questions to fill out the Client Intake Sheet for our records & to better assist our client with her needs now & in the future.  After the test I was asked if we had any Bus passes & I said "no" but I'd give some money for a bus, for her, but we wanted her to be happy so we called her a cab, in the office right next to ours.  They took her home.  How convenient.

Suzanne & Pat had to leave so Rose started supper & we talked.  First I wanted to go back outside, to see how John was doing, & to have him come in now, for it was passed 4:30pm.  We brought all the signs & the literature box, into the center.  He then worked on some projects, I had for him, in the office. 

While I was out there, on the sidewalk, I noticed that the two young people were now leaving, after being in there for 3 hours.  I spoke to them as they were leaving.  Lord have Mercy on their souls.  I went back into the center & a few minutes later the doorbell rang & it was Memo, who will be doing our spread sheets.  Thanks so much for all your help, I really appreciate it.  I cleaned up the mess in the Meeting Room, for the painter had to leave.  It looks beautiful in there now, so fresh & clean & bright. 

Tuesday 13, 2010 in front of Planned Parenthood

When I arrived to the center Bill was there ready to put in the wood shelves in the cabinet that houses our signs & literature packets.  The shelves didn't fit so he'll be back tomorrow with the saw to fix the problem.  As he was in the Material Aid Room working the male pro lifer came in & then Mary S. to get some signs to take outside to start counseling.  Martha was getting ready to go outside too.  I went & got coffee, next door at Macks, for both Martha & Sandy, for they are the coffee drinkers. I went back inside & the doorbell rang & it was a client & her son to receive more children's clothes.  Then the doorbell rang again & it was our client to get the stroller, that just came in, that I promised for her.  It was a blessing to her & she asked for baby wipes & then went into the Material Aid Room to get more things for her young son.  Betty called & said that she was still sick & would come back next Tuesday to help out at the center.  Get well, dear Betty, for we miss you.  Rose who is our new volunteer just came in & Sandy, our Tuesday afternoon volunteer, also came in to start working putting away the baby & children's clothes away that I brought in, that was donated to the center.  Carol came in to get her favorite sign which read 'Planned Parenthood Kills Children' & went outside to witness.  Melody came later & worked on helping in the Material Aid Room & making more Truth packets.  The doorbell rang & it was Mary with her 2 daughters.  They came to help out in the office.  They organized the accumulated papers & brochures that I had.  It was time to ORGANIZE!  Thank you so much for doing that, what a help you all were to me today.  Jerry & Carmen came out to pray, outside the abortion mill, today too.  I was going in & out from the center to the sidewalk. Very busy.
