I did the fifth or sixth edit of the entire Joe book yesterday. As always, I sobbed my heart out at the last chapter. This book is without a doubt the best book I have ever written, and I am anxiously awaiting two last beta-readers' comments before publishing.
Joe, the horse was a life-changing force in my life. There are a handful of events in my life that are cataclysmic. Marriage, child-birth, and the moment I accepted Jesus. Those are the top three, but Joe the horse might be fourth.
I go to the abortion mill sidewalks today, as I do every Monday, to encourage mamas to choose life rather than abortion. I pray that God moves the hearts of the mothers to their children, and they will make a life-changing decision. When they look back on this day, I pray it is not filled with sorrow and remorse. After my stint on the sidewalk, I am going to lunch with a friend. She is a mama with her 6-month-old baby. I met her a year or so ago at the abortion mill...and she chose life. Today, that little baby will eat chicken nuggets with us, and the mother will remember the day she chose life with relief...and joy. Cataclysmic choices. Life-changing. Would appreciate prayer as I speak for the unborn.

“Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy
that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the
gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who
find it are few.
There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.
Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.
The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable,
whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is
commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of
praise, think about these things.
And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the
way, walk in it,” when you turn to the right or when you turn to the
left.
Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that
will he also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the
flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the
Spirit reap eternal life.
