God shows His love for us
on a special abortion day

Balancing ministry and family is the most difficult challenge we face. Often it seems like the ministry is harming the family and the family is harming the ministry. On October 28, it seemed like ministry and family were having a head-on collision. But our new video shows how God blessed us on a day when Terri was “bummed.”

The shocking 1991 Thanksgiving news…
which thankfully never became a reality

Our Jackie and Jordan videoOn Thanksgiving Day in 1991, we shared with our extended family the somewhat shocking news that we may be adopting a baby (although Terri had just given birth to our son Matthew). But instead God filled the heart of Jackie (the pregnant mother) with love for her son Jordan, and God used Jordan to bring her joy throughout the years which followed.

An unbelievable blessing from our oldest son Andrew

Our son Andrew came to the 40 Days for Life vigil site to show us the van he bought for us

Our son Andrew came to the 40 Days for Life vigil site to show us the van he bought for us

About a week ago, I received a phone call from our son Andrew.  He got right to the point, saying “I bought you a van.”  On Friday, Andrew and his wife Shantel made the long drive down from Chico to deliver our new van.

We have known for years that Andrew had an amazing ability to find great deals on eBay, but this one surpasses our wildest imaginations! After spending so many years in our home, experiencing both the frustrations and the benefits of a large family, Andrew knew exactly what we needed, and this van has features that we wouldn’t have even thought of asking for.

Our old van (which has logged almost 280,000 miles) was beginning to show its age, and we had been finding it necessary to restrict our travel.  Continue reading →

Will your vote impact your eternity?

Tim & Terri Palmquist's blog Posted on by

At last night’s closing celebration for the fall 2008 Bakersfield 40 Days for Life campaign I shared these thoughts about the eternal impact of our vote:

Jesus said that all authority in heaven and on earth comes from Him, and He also said that we will be accountable for how we have used what He has given us, and that those who make good use of what He has given will be rewarded.

Our vote is a form of authority. It may be a small amount of authority, but we are personally accountable to God to use that authority in a way which glorifies Jesus. In reality, our vote probably matters more to God than it does to the nation. Continue reading →

For such a time as this!

I just received this from our friend and intercessor Marti McCraw.

…Barack Obama speaks to the nation who has the power to make him President. In essence, regarding abortion, he is saying, “There is an odd set of people in our nation who don’t fit in… elect me for president and I will give orders to have them destroyed.”

Barack Obama has declared that the first thing he will do when elected is… remove every abortion restriction that has been passed since Roe V. Wade.

Will you join the Esther’s and Mordecai’s of this land to fast and pray for the lives of these innocent children? Who knows? Maybe you were made queen (part of a voting democracy) for just such a time as this.

Read Marti’s full post calling for prayer and fasting…

Five hundred babies!

Tim & Terri Palmquist's blog Posted on by

The CDC estimated that 500 babies are born alive after an abortion every year! The suffering of these babies (and their mothers) has been ignored for far too long.

The “Confessions of a Catholic Mom” blog linked to our “laundromat” post and included this video which provides a glimpse into this atrocity — and a clear picture of Barack Obama’s calloused advocacy of such brutality. Take five minutes to watch this video, and tell your friends to do the same. It’s still not too late for our nation if we act now!
