Amelia's Menagerie

     Hi guys, I was wondering if you would like to sponsor me for the Walk for Life! It is a fundraising event for the Valley Women's Clinic, also called the Pregnancy Resource Center, which is an organization that provides free, pro-life options to women and couples facing unplanned pregnancies. They never charge a patient, even though they provide expensive services. The walk is this Saturday , so if you want to sponsor me, please do it before the event.

And probably for someone else, too. If God were not real, it would be impossible for anything to be. At all. And then, how would we be here? And how would we appreciate beauty while everything else ignores it unless it needs it to survive? I appreciate beauty, a lot. I love to just sit down and marvel at it...
