It was just a normal Monday. I was sitting on my bed putting make-up on and my cell phone rang. I looked down and it showed a name I didn’t recognize. (I program names in my phone & sometimes can’t remember who they are!!) Me: “Hello?” Lady: “Hey Kelly, it’s Katie from the adoption agency. [...]
First of all, I want to say a huge THANK YOU to those of you who emailed me and messaged me to tell me about your pro-life ministry or about your church that has devoted itself to being a presence at the nearest abortion clinic. Many of you have been in the pro-life movement for [...]

Caution: I am going to share some things in this blog that are tough to write and will be hard to read…but the truth will set you free, and I know that this is part of my journey to being whole. In my early twenties, I was incredibly stupid…as many in their early twenties are. [...]
