The stress would have killed me if not for a revelation:
I've been asked about the
importance of faith in my daily life. Over fifty years ago, following a
childhood bout with polio, I began following Christ. I did not begin my walk with Christ with any
real idea of where I was going. I just
set out to follow, day by day. I’m not
suggesting that the entire walk’s been easy. I've been beaten down, and beaten down, and beaten down, on numerous
levels. The stress would have killed me if not for a revelation: I’m not
responsible for each day’s results, or my ultimate destination. I’m simply called to faithfully follow Christ,
day by day, step by step, in the light each new day brings, and to reflect that
light, should others choose to follow.

Your choice is no less monumental than the epic cause of women’s rights itself. I suggest you rise to the occasion and make it wisely.
Over the last 100 years,
women’s rights have made tremendous progress in this country. This progress would not have been possible
had it not been for the passionate efforts of both dedicated women, and those men
who were equally devoted to their cause.
Sadly, many young women today seem entirely unappreciative, if not
unaware of the monumental struggle that painstakingly provided the freedoms they
enjoy today. Many also fail to see that
the hard-fought battles that provided those freedoms continue to this day, rising
or falling, contingent upon their support.
To a large part, the outcome of the upcoming election will determine the
future of women’s rights in America and the world. Women have a choice. They can accept the responsibility that is
currently theirs as a result of those hard-won freedoms, or they can voluntarily
forfeit their responsibilities, choosing instead submission to the leadership
and values of men like Mr. Mourdock and Mr. Akin. Your choice is no less
monumental than the epic cause of women’s rights itself. I suggest you rise to the occasion and make
it wisely. SC
