“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” This is God’s admonition from Galatians 6:9. But long has been the period that tempted Pro-life folks to “faint” in Kentucky. Early in this century it seemed Kentucky 
was poised to be one of the most “Pro-life states” in this nation. However, political maneuvering in the House of Representatives killed most every bill designed to protect children in the womb. I remember the frustration of driving away from Frankfort at the end of the Legislative sessions. It was heart-breaking, knowing that thousands of children would be murdered in Kentucky that year because we could not get politicians to enact law that would protect them in their time in the womb.

The tone of His voice spoke of completing something that had been planned from eternity past. The books were now balanced! He had paid man’s debt to God: That debt of one perfect life which man had incurred in Eden when he used, for selfish purposes, the perfect life God had loaned him.
