Someone recently asked me what the point was to all these pro-life marches. We have marched a lot in recent weeks so the question is valid. I would like to submit the following 5 reasons why we should march for life.

Here I am in front of a 3000 year old Sphinx. This statue sits on the site of a road and gets frosty in the winter. Those Egyptians knew how to build things to last!

Lucy, Philly, Ana and Olga admire a wall painting at the Winter Palace.

Here is a great example of the majestic beauty of St. Petersburg. The lady standing at the base of the right statue lived with us in the States for several months. Those are her daughters with her.

Gosha and Natasha put up signs advertising for an evangelistic concert. There were several people at church the next Sunday who had come to Christ at the concert.

As cool as they hat may be here my Russian friends tell me only old men wear these hats.

This is a battlefield from the Winter War between Finland and Russia. The Winter War kicked off WWII for Russia.

I named this statue the people's statue because its jsut a base. Anyone can pose to be immortalized.
