Last Saturday was dedicated to David Allen, my favorite shofar blower ... and
lo and behold a shofarist from Israel showed up and blew the shofar over
Planned Parenthood and later over the traffic clogged highway.
He did not know David Allen. Talk about a coincidence!
You can see the shofarist and others in this week's pictures:

During the day Paul Borchard walked up to me and showed me some pamphlets
that he'd printed out for the skatepark event that we sponsored that was
orchestrated by Shaun Burgess. He said, "If the traffic ever backs up again
we could hand these out."
The flyers have information about the prayer vigil for people interested in
joining us.
And of course you can guess what happened shortly thereafter. The highway
traffic came to a standstill and the feeder road (service drive) become a
slow moving parking lot. And those pamphlets were handed out!
One woman rolled her window down and began screaming that we only cared about
the baby and we didn't care about the women. She was in the lane furthest
away from us so we weren't able to communicate with her very well -- but that
is a common complaint that those who support abortion repeat again and again.
The truth is that we care about everyone. The baby, the parents, the clinic
workers, and the fallen world that surrounds them. It also came up the
previous night when we were standing outside of the abortuary on Greenville
Ave. for 40 Days for Life.
Except this woman had gotten out of her car and stood next to us with her
Bible as she fought back tears. She was clearly post abortive... and this
time we had a chance to explain to her how we love the women specifically.
The same people who stand on the grass in Plano are also funding a crises
pregnancy home for expectant mothers who have no place else to go -- it's
called Bella House. There will be an open house this coming Saturday, October
3rd that you're all invited to attend. We will be going from the Plano Prayer
Vigil over to Bella House at 1 pm after next week's prayer vigil ends.
But wait ... it gets better! John Shuman will be grilling brats and
hamburgers for everyone at Bella House.
The address is 1809 Cortez Drive, Plano, TX 75074. The open house will be
from 10 am to 5 pm with a blessing from Father Bruce Bradley at 11 am. As I
mentioned, all of us from the prayer vigil will be heading over there at 1 pm
and we will tour the house and have lunch together.
Here is a link to directions from the Plano Prayer Vigil to Bella House:
