I got to sit in on a counseling session last week.

It was heartbreaking to hear the client speak about abortion and use the term “egg” instead of “baby” when talking about what medication taken to abort does. Misguided information.

One of the main services we provide is abortion education.

We do not show gory pictures of aborted fetuses. Or DVDs that condemn abortion. None of that is necessary.

What we do is provide facts about abortion procedures so that the women coming into our Center can make an educated decision about the life of their unborn baby.

If a woman is willing and meets the requirements, we provide a free ultrasound so that she can actually see her baby growing in her womb.

Ninety percent of women who walk into our Center and have an ultrasound, do not abort.

I guess this would be a situation where seeing is believing.

They see that what is on the screen is not just an “egg” or some clumps of tissue but a well-formed, tiny human being.

I also got to do something this week that I simply love!

Organize!!!

The Center is beginning the transition of using one program instead of another. The materials for the new program was in the way-back closet of the Center.

The director mentioned that she was going to have to come in one day and somehow move all the materials and organize them on some shelves in her office so that they will be easily accessible to the counselors.

A job she was dreading, it seemed.

So I asked, “Would you like for me to move everything and organize it all?”

She didn’t delay in accepting my offer!

I went in the back closet and found the biggest box I could find. I put brochures and pamphlets that were on the shelves in her office in the box and then moved them to the bookcase where the new materials had been.

Then I loaded up the box with the new materials and organized everything in their new locations.

It looked quite nice when I left! I love making a “mess” look orderly and neat!
