There’s no question in my mind that abortion is a man’s issue. I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again… if males were handling our business, women wouldn’t feel the need for abortion. If we want the issue of abortion to go away, and for women, men, and children to receive healing, we must step up and fight.
One of my friends, my buddies, my other-brother-from-Our-Blessed-Mother is on the front lines of this battle, and I want to highlight him, his wife, his kids, and the people who are, literally, running along side him. This man has a new role that he’s gearing up for as President of the Vitae Foundation, and on top of all of that, he is one of our nation’s heroes, an officer in the United States Air Force.
Lt Col Pat Castle, USAF
This man’s name is Lt. Col Pat Castle, PhD., and I’m blessed to know him and call him ‘brother’. Several years ago, Pat and a few of his closest friends started a pro-life running ministry called “LIFE Runners“. LIFE Runners has gone worldwide and has runners all over the place;
running, praying, and raising money to end abortion. It’s so powerful, they even convinced my non-running-self to run in the inaugural A+Cross America Relay.
Pat is relentless in his pursuits! He is first and foremost a son of God, and a great husband, and a great father, and with great passion that never stops he is relentless in fighting the evil of abortion. Vitae has honored him with the new role as President of the foundation, a great honor and a perfect spot for him to land after his long and illustrious Air Force career. (Read about Pat and his VF role.) Pat retires at the end of the month.
Pat Castle giving God the glory!
If you want to be inspired, and encouraged as a man who is willing to fight abortion, I’d get involved with Vitae, join LIFE Runners, and get Pat’s emails. Everytime I hear from him, see something he posts, or see the aftermath that he leaves behind (GOOD aftermath!), I am undoubtedbly inspired. Pat’s energy and efforts are effective. There is no wasting time, no messin’ around… he gets the job done.
For all that you do and especially for the TrueMan that you are, HIGH FIVE to you, Pat!
TrueMan up!
