“Our once great western Christian civilization is dying. If this matters to followers of Jesus Christ, then we must set aside our denominational differences and work together to strengthen the things that remain and reclaim what has been lost. Evangelicals and Catholics must stand together to re-establish that former Christian culture and moral consensus. We have the numbers and the organization but the question is this: Do we have the will to win this present spiritual battle for Jesus Christ against secularism? Will we prayerfully and cooperatively work toward a new Christian spiritual revival ― or will we choose to hunker down in our churches and denominationalisms and watch everything sink into the spiritual and moral abyss of a New Dark Age?” - Mark Davis Pickup

TO LOVE LIFE IN THE FACE OF DEATH

Every life is sacred. Even when faced with circumstances incompatible with life, that human life is still sacred and bears the image of God.  


Baby Grayson James Walker was born with anencephaly on February 15th 2012. He only lived eight hours, but in those eight hours he was loved. His family surrounded him with tenderness and nurture until baby Grayson James Walker drew his last breath. His gift to his family was to call them to love in hopeless circumstances, to care when there was no cure, to love life even in the face of death. 

 We do not get our worth from what we can do, or even sentience; our value comes from merely being.
