As you can see, I have not been able to keep up with my posting during this, my fifth, Master Cleanse. I had a hard time getting started for some reason and didn't begin when I had written that I was going to. Something about the time wasn't right, so I'm "Behind" where I had hoped to be by now.
This has made me accept that I won't get 15 days in before the home school convention. I've counted that it will work to get 12 in, though, if I come out of it on the end with my first meal of solid food coming on the last day of the convention. Then, too, I wondered if maybe the Lord wants me to fast all the way through the convention to lend more umph to my prayers that God be glorified in ALL that is said and done there. Have you ever noticed how you pray more earnestly when on a fast of any length?
Anyway, yesterday was my third day so that means that the worst part is over. I am happy to say that I haven't had the aches that I had with the earlier cleanses. I suppose that is because I have gotten rid of those poisons earlier on. Praise the Lord--that means that each one will most likely be easier than the last. :)
Here is the latest on the Parental Rights Amendment. The newest development here is that we will be taking a table at the used book sale, during the home school convention, to try to collect more signatures. Have YOU signed the petition to try to influence our federal legislators to co-sign the Amendment? If not, PLEASE take the time to do so by going to the link on the forward below--parentalrights.org
Have a great day and please keep me in your prayers. There are so many sick people that sometimes it gets me down, but all I can do is work on the people who come to me. I'm working with a 23 year young man now who almost died from a reaction to a prescription drug. One of my clients recently buried her 17 year old grandson from a massive heart attack................. OH HELP!
To the work,

Planned Parenthood Attacks the
Parental Rights Amendment
Parental Rights Amendment
No doubt you’ve heard about
Planned Parenthood in the news lately. They’ve been criticized for covering up
the sex trafficking of minors, and they’ve come under media investigation. Their
dishonorable techniques have once again been exposed by Live Action’s president Lila Rose. They have
counseled an investigator posing as a pimp on how to avoid detection and yet get
abortions and other related services for girls as young as 14 and 15. Of course,
Planned Parenthood is utterly committed to the proposition that parents have no
right to knowledge or consent of the activities of their teenaged daughters when
they walk in the door of these deadly clinics. Even if the girls are being held
as sex slaves, Planned Parenthood wants to keep both parents and government out
of their grisly business.
And, of course, one of the most stalwart and
effective defenders of the rights of Planned Parenthood to secretly perform
abortions on underaged girls is the American Civil Liberties Union.
Lila
Rose, a young woman raised by a fine homeschooling family in California, has
taken on the giant of Planned Parenthood and she is winning. She is the example
of the kind of young person that is sent forth to help America become a better
place when parents are free to train their children in truth and uprightness.
I was at a meeting this week with the Speaker of the House and other top
leaders in Congress and the pinnacle of the talk was on Lila Rose’s activities,
as well as a movement in Congress to defund
Planned Parenthood – they received $363 million in government (tax payer) funds
last year.
I pointed out that Lila Rose had been homeschooled and that we
needed to be sure that the Parental Rights Amendment is passed to ensure that
all parents have the ability to be involved in the crucial decisions for their
children’s future.
There was a good reason that Planned Parenthood and
the ACLU were on my mind during this meeting with the Speaker of the
House.
Last week, when Montana’s Senate Judicial Committee considered a
resolution urging Congress to adopt the Parental Rights Amendment (PRA) and send
it to the States for ratification, Planned Parenthood of Montana, the ACLU, and
the Human Rights Campaign (a “gay rights” organization) spoke against it.
For all their troubles now, Planned
Parenthood remains a heavy hitter with an annual budget of $1.117
billion – and they have taken aim at the PRA. Not that they succeeded
in this case – the resolution passed out of committee by a vote of 7-5 on Friday, and will now proceed to the Montana
Senate floor.
But Planned Parenthood will not stop
there. Like a cornered beast, they will lash out wherever they can, and
right now that seems to mean our resolutions and Amendment.
We cannot
hope to counter the misinformation campaign of Planned Parenthood unless we all
recommit ourselves to a deeper involvement in this issue. Remember,
Planned Parenthood received $363 million from the federal government
last year; we didn’t receive a dime. We are dependent on concerned
partners like you if we are to keep spreading the truth. Please consider helping
us in the following ways:
1) Please donate today. Advertising isn’t free. Our
website isn’t free. Our staff is very lean and we need to be able to meet our
obligations to them and their family. Our giving this year is down and we simply
cannot lead this effort to victory without your support. We need your support in
this crucial hour. If you can give on an ongoing, monthly basis, please check
the appropriate box on the Donate form. But whatever you can give, please do it now.

2) Track the status of the resolution in your
state and be ready to speak in its favor. Please email Michael
Ramey if you can speak to a committee to support a resolution in your
state. If you live in Montana, call your state senator now and
urge him (her) to support SJ
9 in favor of a federal Parental Rights Amendment. You can identify your
senator and find contact information here.
3) Get ready to fight in Congress. We have been
working behind the scenes in the House to put together a new leadership
coalition to lead our efforts to pass the PRA. Our former champion, Pete
Hoekstra, retired from the House to run for Governor of Michigan. We have
assurances from the GOP leadership in the House that they will help us push the
PRA. I fully expect that we will have hearings, committee votes, and then floor
action in the House this year.
This is our time to push the PRA through
the House of Representatives. We need your help now more than ever. Being
attacked by the likes of the ACLU and Planned Parenthood is a good sign that we
are on the right track and that we are getting close to
victory.
