Hot Off the Griddle: The Red Envelope Project & Come What May
The unborn can’t speak for themselves, but we can speak for them. Please help save lives.
I got an email this afternoon about The Red Envelope Project (thanks, Hannah!) and was soon sent a link to the official Red Envelope Project Website.
“Get a red envelope. You can buy them at Kinkos, or at party supply stores. On the front, address it to:
President Barack Obama
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Ave. N.W.
Washington , D.C. 20500
On the back, write the following message:
This envelope represents one child who died in abortion. It is empty because that life was unable to offer anything to the world. Responsibility begins with conception.
Put it in the mail, and send it. Then send this website to every one of your friends who you think would send one too. I wish we could send 50 million red envelopes, one for every child who died before having a a chance to live. Maybe it will change the heart of the president.”
Find out more information on The Red Envelope Project and pledge to help HERE.
COME WHAT MAY: THE STORY
Coming March 17 on DVD is Come What May, a movie that addresses the question “When Does Life Really Begin?”
“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.”
(Psalm 139:13)
With his mother a lawyer and his father a professor, Caleb Hogan has grown up understanding the importance of stating his case, backing it with facts, and choosing what’s right … Come What May.
This ability has served him well in his internship at his mother’s law firm and it has guided him to the college with the best Moot Court team. But has it prepared him to deal with the collision-course elements of the most important legal issue of our time?
When does life really begin?
Coming face-to-face with the realities and legalities of the abortion issue—both in preparation for the National Moot Court championship and as his mother prepares to argue a high-profile case before the Supreme Court—Caleb must decide what he truly believes.
Wherever he lands will have consequences. If he takes the pro-life argument, he stands to lose the most important competition of his life‚Äîand the support of his mother. If he follows his mother’s lead, he could win the coveted title … but lose the heart of his teammate Rachel in the process.
Along with her professor and classmates, Rachel not only understands the strength of the pro-life arguments, she believes them to her core. Life, from its beginning, exists to honor God. For Rachel, that plays out in her Moot Court arguments and in her daily life.
Can Caleb find that same conviction? Can he win the heart of Rachel in the process? While compromise might be the easiest solution, it could also be the most dangerous.
Come What May is a vivid reminder that choosing what’s right is never easy … but it’s always worth the cost.”
