Hi. Carol Brown of Capstone Missions recently sent me a link to a wonderful talk by Gianna Jessen, a woman who, as a fetus, survived an abortion. She has some good stuff to say, especially to men. Please give it a look and listen and tell us what you think. Here are the links:

As you know, Joe and I have been reflecting for some time on the issue of manhood and how in our culture it is too often confused with adolescent boyhood. We'd kind of like to reprise the retreat we offered last spring where we looked hard at gender issues and reflected on what it means to be real men and real women.
