So, as usual, I was late. I zipped up in the bicycle lane on my scooter and before I had my helmet off was joining in the 4th sorrowful mystery.

Then we prayed the joyful mysteries. after each decade Fr Tom said some prayer thanking Jesus Mary and Joseph for protecting unborn children and we sang a little Marian antiphon.

I cried.

Then we were done and I had to run off in several directions, but I saw him again at Church. I went to Mass (and yet another Rosary -- I love the Rosary, it is my lifeline to IHS) and the parish was also laying on a little outdoor hotdogs and hamboogers for the Life people (later there would be a class on sidewalk counseling, but the kind of person who wants to ask, "So tell me: do YOU think soul is to body as burning is to fire?" is not really cut out for that stuff.)

In that connection, I was unarmed, but all my usual kit was in a bag inside my knapsack instead of hanging off my belt.

It was really cool that about half a mile before I got to the abortuary I passed one of my favorite Deputies, so I thought the little exchange we had might have contributed to our not getting any LEO harassment.

Anyway, God is so GOOD! He lets us help, and when we help a teeny bit, He overwhelms us with blessings.

Non-Christians are missing the best deal in the universe! We have to let them know!

Uh oh. There goes the blasé, nineties kind of guy schtick .....
