Pregnancy Center Director Reflects on a Beautiful Calling

Blessed be the Name of the Lord! God’s Word is filled with treasures and I recently just found one of those as I read Proverbs 24.

Thomas Glessner in Townhall: “What Would a Post-Roe America Look Like?”

“Millions of Americans have labored for years to see the end to abortion. They have founded thousands of agencies – pregnancy centers, maternity homes, adoption agencies, counseling agencies, and more – to provide mothers considering abortion life-affirming options to empower them to choose life.
