life is beautiful

it's been so cold in new york that for the last week i've barely gotten out of the apartment with the babe. it always takes a toll on both of us when we're cooped up for so long. that, coupled with the fact that chicky's first tooth is about to surface, has made for a challenging few days (and that's saying the very least about that). as i sit down to write this i smell something really gross, and after some investigating, realize, it's me. spoiled spit up i suppose. i've even just realized, within the last few minutes, that it snowed today... the first snow we've been here for this season. 

being so constantly preoccupied with rosie can sometimes isolate me from things going on in the world, and today, i don't mind it so much:

because today is the march for life in washington d.c. where nearly 500,000 will gather to protest the 56 million lives lost since the legalization of abortion. 

and if i stop to think about those numbers of deaths,

or the fact that the media underreports the number of protestors as, "in the thousands," 

or the fact that 41% of pregnancies in nyc are terminated ,

it is too much.

today i'm praying for the children without a voice, and the conversion of hearts. may we continue to fight for these little ones, and may our convictions continue to spur us into action throughout the whole year, not just today.
