84,000 Novenas for the Pope's 84th Birthday!

Will you join me in giving the Pope a huge gift for his birthday? Pope Benedict XVI is celebrating his birthday on April 16th and I'm joining up with praymorenovenas.com to get 84,000 people to pray a novena for the Pope's 84th birthday. 

On April 8th, we will begin praying for nine days leading up to and ending on the Papa Benedict's birthday. The Pope prays for us everyday so it's time to return the gift to him on the anniversary of his birth.

84,000 Novenas is a lot! So, I'm going to need your help. I want everyone who reads this blog to do the following to help with this birthday gift!

  + Join the facebook event and invite your friends here: http://on.fb.me/eE2Xs7

  + If you have a website, post about it there!

  + Email your friends and family and get them praying too!

I'm sure the Pope will love that we are all praying for him! Please help us reach our goal of 84,000 novenas for the Pope!

I follow both blogs, so be sure to read them and be especially sure to read the post by Lisa as indicated below.

Poll: Should There Be Federal Funding For Planned Parenthood?

Poll: Should There Be Federal Funding For Planned Parenthood?

There is a story on the CBS News (New York) about Senator Frank Lautenberg leading a rally supporting federal funding of Planned Parenthood. On that news story page, there is a poll you can vote on to express your support or opposition to the fedral government funding Planned Parenthood.

I am happy to report that I voted "No" to the federal funding of Planned Parenthood.

Go to that story now, and vote No to the funding of Planned Parenthood.
