Businessman's Ads Show Love of God, Life, and America
MEDIA ADVISORY, October 8 /Christian Newswire/ -- During the final days of this painfully drawn out election season, people might refresh themselves by diverting attention away from the candidates to this courageous American.
Paul Johnson, who operates an insurance business, serving Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky, has been using his income and talent for Pro-America radio ads on the largest talk radio stations in the area.
Most profound are his ads concerning the topic of abortion, respect for life, and the opportunity for those injured by abortion to obtain forgiveness and peace. Most entrepreneurs would consider the risk of running such ads too high, but Mr. Johnson cheerfully risks his business and income, joking that he's too old to worry whether everyone likes him or not.
Hearing the ads at www.PaulJohnsonInsurance.com, you'll be struck by the volume of information presented clearly, in a short span of time. CDs are available for those who wish to play them at church sponsored gatherings, or other events. Mr. Johnson notes that since the ads do not name candidates, they can be used by non profit institutions. Not one to be left behind in the video arena, Mr. Johnson is currently producing an ad to be run on Youtube.
Surfing Paul Johnson's business website, you'll note that little space is allocated to his actual livelihood. It is largely focused on his love of God and country, the driving forces in his life.

40 Days for Life Effort Wraps Up Sunday; Lives Saved, Awareness Raised
40 Days for Life Effort Wraps Up Sunday; Lives Saved, Awareness Raised
WASHINGTON, March 14 /Christian Newswire/ -- "We are seeing a tremendous change taking place across the nation as our second simultaneous coast-to-coast 40 Days for Life campaign draws to a close," said David Bereit, national campaign director of 40 Days for Life.
In this campaign, which began February 6 and ends March 16, people in 59 cities in 31 states joined together for 40 days of prayer and fasting for an end to abortion, 40 days of constant, peaceful vigil outside abortion facilities and Planned Parenthood offices and 40 days of pro-life community outreach.
"We know lives have been saved. People participating in vigils across America report that women who were planning to abort their babies changed their minds - in many cases, just because of the simple presence of people standing vigil outside the clinics, praying for these mothers and their children," said Bereit. "The reports we receive every day always include mention of lives spared from abortion."
Another result of 40 Days for Life is increased public awareness. "I know many people are simply not aware that abortion is present in their neighborhoods," said Bereit, "but this effort has changed that. One of the leaders of a local 40 Days for Life campaign told me she had driven past a building almost every day for ten years, but never knew an abortion facility was present. A whole community knows it now."
In other locations, abortion clinics are nestled in office parks or at the back of strip malls. They blend in unseen. "But when people find out," said Bereit, "they're shocked. And they want to do something about it. No one wants an abortion clinic in their neighborhood, near their children's schools."
Bereit said people frequently ask him what happens on Day 41, when the formal part of the 40 Days for Life effort has ended. "The question seems to be answering itself," he said. "For one thing, people see that being at the clinic saves lives. There are efforts under way in many cities to see that there are people praying outside whenever abortions are being done."
Local leaders are also seeing a need for more trained counselors to speak to the women - and men - who arrive for abortion appointments. "Local communities have identified these needs," said Bereit, "and we at the national level intend to do everything we can to support them in meeting those needs.
"We are most humbled by the many victories - God's victories - that have been reported during this 40 Days for Life effort," he said. "We look forward to the future with hope and anticipation."

There IS Life After Motherhood
There IS Life After Motherhood
"Mom" is not my real name...is it?
DALLAS, March 10 /Christian Newswire/ -- The empty nest season is much like JELLO--hard to grab hold of and constantly changing shape. Whether she stayed at home with her kids or held a demanding corporate job, every mother will feel the effects of her last child leaving the nest. Even the most confident of women often feel lost and left behind. In the words of Newsweek columnist Anna Quindlen, "Tell me at your peril that the flight of my kids into successful adulthood is hugely liberating...that my husband and I will see the world, that I can throw myself into my job. My world is in this house, and I already had a great job into which I'd thrown myself for two decades. No, not the writing job-- the motherhood job. I was good at it...and because I was, I've now been demoted to part-time work. Soon I will attain emeriti status. This stinks."
The transition to the empty nest, like every other milestone in a woman's life, is best when shared with a good girlfriend who is a few steps ahead of you on the journey but close enough to shine the light back in your direction. In their new book, Barbara and Susan's Guide to the Empty Nest, authors Barbara Rainey and Susan Yates, mothers of six and five, respectively, share the joys and challenges they have experienced as their children have grown and taken flight.
Barbara and Susan highlight the fun of rediscovering spontaneity in marriage, the value of spending time with girlfriends, and the excitement of finding vision and purpose. They also address the disappointments and hardships that sometimes accompany the empty nest: caring for aging parents, dealing with menopause, surviving a failed marriage, and grieving over the child who has gone astray.
Because they have included so many anecdotes from their own families and personal stories of other women, the book reads like a conversation with an old friend. Each chapter includes questions to consider, resources to assist, and practical steps that will help readers process the transition in their lives. Though the onset of the empty nest brings mixed emotions, it is a time for celebration, a time for a woman to reconnect with her spouse, her friends, and herself.
