What a Ride

So I am sitting in the passenger seat on the way home from a very rewarding trip.

WE went to go see the museum for a second time on Tuesday and spent time in the planetarium. They also have a very incredible multimedia show that mixes Sound, Robots, and squirting water much like the shows at Busch Gardens.

Then we walked the nature trail and met the Coopers. The coopers are from Illinois and after talking to them for a while we learned that they were real warriors for Christ.

The coopers are pro-life activist. Not just any sort of pro-life activist, the Coopers have regularly been thrown into jail. Serving as much as forty days for chaining together and blocking women from entering the clinic. They have been responsible for saving several babies lives, by creating a human barrier that prevents a woman from entering the clinic just long enough to have her change her mind.

The amazing thing is that they spoke of Jail as an assignment from God. They told us stories of being sent to jail and they immediately started to share the Gospel with everyone in that prison. They told stories of how guards would would place prisoners in there with them on purpose, the guards and them worked together to share the Gospel to inmates.

"God just assigned me to a new mission field"

How many people are that Radical for a cause they believe in that Jail (like Paul) was just a change in your ministry assignment.

Hardly anyone in America, nowadays people would look upon the Coopers as Abortion Terrorist who blow up clinics, even though they are not that extreme.


The stories they told of going through the dumpster to scavenge baby parts was just appalling. They looked for little bags of ketchup that when shook revealed baby feet and arms. They have been ministers to several people within the Abortion Industry who suffer serious mental breakdowns.

They told us of the new law called F.A.C.E. (Freedom to Access Clinic Entrances) it serves a two and a half year mandatory sentence. Since the law they have decided it better to just stand on the sidewalks.
