I’ve been working undercover this summer – a sort of secret agent for the pro-life movement. I had the opportunity to work as an intern at Live Action in Washington, D.C.
I graduated from Grove City College in May, went back home to visit my family for a few days in Ohio and then relocated to our nation’s capitol.
I’ll never forget what Lila Rose, the president of Live Action told me on my first day on the job.
“Here at Live Action, we’re all about undercover work,” she said
I can’t tell you exactly what I did this summer, but between you and me, this is what I learned:
1. Wherever you stand, whether it be on Irish soil, in rain or sunshine, stand for life.

2. If you don’t have love, you can’t actually win — this is very much a spiritual battle.

3. If you want to get your message out, you have to go to the streets.

4. No matter how many people attack you, if you have the truth on your side, keep a positive attitude and kill people with kindness.

5. Men need to stand up for women and children – it’s long overdue.
I officially joined the bro-life movement this summer.
6. It’s the little things in life that brighten other people’s days.
I dressed like a crayon and the walk to work that morning was much more interesting.
7. Don’t be afraid to fight giants and dream big.

8. Surround yourself with awesome people.
Look at them — how could I not love interning with these cool cats?
9. Work hard, pray hard and be humble.

10. I spent my summer saving babies, how did you spend yours?
(I’m being serious; I’m actually interested.)
I worked to make sure that this world is more friendly to his friends, babies.
So, what lessons did you learn this summer?
