40 Days for Life begins today
From the 40 days for life website:
The 40-day campaign tracks Biblical history, where God used 40-day periods to transform individuals, communities ... and the entire world. From Noah in the flood to Moses on the mountain to the disciples after Christ's resurrection, it is clear that God sees the transformative value of His people accepting and meeting a 40-day challenge.
40 Days for Life is a focused pro-life campaign with a vision to access God’s power through prayer, fasting, and peaceful vigil to end abortion in America.
The mission of the campaign is to bring together the body of Christ in a spirit of unity during a focused 40 day campaign of prayer, fasting, and peaceful activism, with the purpose of repentance, to seek God’s favor to turn hearts and minds from a culture of death to a culture of life, thus bringing an end to abortion in America.

Philadelphia-Franklin Court
A very enthusiastic Benjamin Franklin *fan* and his nurse after surgery. Hard to believe he was wanting to see Ben Franklin's house so soon afterward!
Ben Franklin Court from across the street.
I thought this was so neat! A replica of an instrument made by Franklin called an Armonica. If you click on the images, you should be able to view them full-size.
Entrance to Franklin's print shop. He started his print shop at the age of 22.
I liked the quotes they had hanging on the wall--click the picture to view full-size
The Entrance to the court.

The site of Ben Franklin's house-- marked with the house outlines.

My boys had to have a picture of Franklin's "privy" pit. Why these things excite little boys, I will never know.
