A Saved Life


Psalm 139:13-16
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,

your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.


Alex is my first sweet baby in the "New Life Photography" project! This is a project in conjunction with Save-A-Life Pregnancy Center of Decatur. Save-A-Life, with all of it's volunteers, counselors and supporters, warmly welcome precious babies into the world, offering their mothers the help and support they need. The goal of the "New Life Photography" project is come alongside the mother and help her to celebrate this new life that might have otherwise been lost to abortion.

In the past three decades, the number of abortions in the United States is greater than the population of the top 40 U.S. cities. Imagine what would happen if New York City was completely wiped out... that would be a catastrophe! Now imagine that times 40! The many children and families helped by Save-A-Life are no longer just a number; we're giving them a name with a face.

Pretty moving stuff. It humanizes a very complex issue. And the pictures are great!
