Lent

Happy 1st Friday of Lent!

  What a wonderful season in our Church we have entered. Though this is a time of prayer and fasting and much self sacrificing, we can also look at Lent as a joyous time. Fasting from things that lead us to sin and being stripped of our selfishness, pride, vanity, ect... will bring joy into our lives. For we have recognized the vices and use this time to ask God to heal those areas. No longer are we living in the dark, but we are living in the light and walking in God's will. What could be more joyous than that? So rather than looking at fasting with an attitude of "man I have to give up_____ for 40 days! ," look at it as a time to grow deeper with our Savor!

  At Lumen for .5 seconds we thought about giving up Cuban Coffee, but who are we kidding? Instead we are praying about what God wants us to do as a company during these next 40 days! 

  Today we had an office packed with volunteers and meetings. We are jazzing up our website for the Spiritual Adoption! So far we have 409 babies Spiritually Adopted! Please continue to tell your family and friends! Our goal is to get 1,370,000.00 adopted. Please don't hesitate to ask anyone! 

 Below are some pictures from today and we also released our 2nd Fruit Basket video Enjoy the pictures and the video. Don't forget to get some Cuban Coffee in this weekend, unless you gave it up for Lent. Have a blessed weekend and we will see you Monday! ~Lumen Crew

Spiritual Adoption Campaign

  

Happy Feast of St. Valentine!  In last Friday's blog we had mentioned there was a lot of exciting things transpiring here at the office. Starting today at 12pm we will be kicking off our Spiritual Adoption Campaign. 

What is a Spiritual Adoption?

   Spiritual Adoption is when we commit to pray daily for a baby that is in danger of being aborted. The prayer we will send you is short and sweet. You'll have it memorized the first week!

What's this particular Spiritual adoption all about?

    First, there is no cost involved. This campaign is about the power of prayer.
It is estimated that 1.37 million babies will be aborted in the United States in 2012. Our goal with this campaign is to have a minimum of 1.37 million babies being prayed for from March- December.This campaign We will be praying also for the baby's parents and for a safe delivery. The beauty of spiritually adopting a baby is it could potentially save the life of the baby!

    We invite you to join us in the this 9 month Spiritual Adoption of a baby that is in danger of being aborted this year.
    Your prayers united with thousands of others is going to be powerful! The Spiritual Campaign kick off is February 14, 2012(today!) and our official starting date is March 26th, 2012. From March 26th ( The Annunciation) to December 25th(Jesus' birthday) we will all be praying together for the baby we have adopted. We have some amazing resources to share with you over the next nine months that will enrich your life.

TODAY from 12pm-1pm Brian, Terry, and Nicol will be live on WQOP talking about the Spiritual Adoption Campaign and also updates on Skiff and AJ's Fantastic Voyage. We invite you to call in and spiritually adopt a baby, we would also love to hear from you!

May the love of our Lord Jesus fill your heart and cause you to spread His love to those who are in need of love today! Pictures later today! ~Lumen Crew

Did You Know...

 Happy Friday to all! There is much to celebrate today here in the office. It's Friday, Cuban Coffee, Brian's wife's due date, and the feast day of Our Lady of the Rosary.We have had our guests back today as they are working on their video. So the office has been filled with much excitement!

October 7th- Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary/Victory

On October 7th did you know...

 1. The Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary. Check out our friends at Catholic Fire, for a great explanation on why we honor Our Lady today. 

 2. 10 years ago The War in Iraq started. Ironic it started on the Feast day of our Lady... I think not! With our Heavenly Mother's aid there will be peace in Iraq, it may not be as quick as we want it. "I believe that the Blessed Virgin chose to be known as "Our Lady of Fatima" as a pledge and a sign of hope to the Muslim people, and as an assurance that they, who show her so much respect, will one day accept her Divine Son too!" Archbishop Fulton Sheen.

3. Brian's wife, Cristi, is due today with her 6th child! We know the baby is a boy, but no official name yet. Please keep her and the baby in your prayers! We pray for a safe delivery! 

 

  "In 1954, Joanne Schiebel was a young unmarried college student who discovered that she was pregnant. In the 1950s, her options were limited. She could have had an abortion – but the procedure was both dangerous and illegal. She could have gotten married, but she wasn’t ready and didn’t want to interrupt her education. Joanne opted, instead, to give birth to the baby and put him up for adoption.

And so it was that in 1955, a California couple named Paul and Clara Jobs adopted a baby boy, born out of wedlock, whom they named Steven. Choose Life.
Rest in Peace, Steve Jobs..."

    What a powerful testimony to the importance of choosing life in every situation. Steve Job's the owner of Apple inc. passed away on October 5th, 20011. He battled Pancreatic cancer and liver ailments. If his mother had aborted him, we would not have our iPods, iPad, Mac Books, iPhones, iTunes, and Pixar. Steve Jobs helped fund Pixar when it was struggling financially in the beginning. If Steve Jobs had been aborted we would not have a Pro-Life Movie. As most of you know we have animators from Pixar doing free lance animation for our movie. Steve's wife and children will be in our prayers. 

We pray that you have a great weekend and please remember to keep the Shields family in your prayers and for a safe delivery.  ~Lumen Crew
