Someone recently asked me how they could help given my current rough state of mind.

Pray.

Pray that I can secure a few displays for The Project. Because no matter what is going on in my life. Serving the Lord is the best way to help. It allows me to focus on following Christ and I can turn what I’m doing into an active prayer.

RUNNING AS THE OPPOSITION PARTY (UPDATED)

An important part of the outcome in Kansas is that the get-out-the-vote literature against the amendment didn't mention abortion at all. The emphasis was, as it should be, on keeping "personal health decisions private" and that's what won the day. Careful messaging hasn't been a recent strong point for the Democrats but will be critical in the next two elections. A piece of potentially positive news is that John Wood, a noted conservative attorney, is on the November ballot as an Independent candidate for the Senate.
