Sunday smile

By Michelle Malkin  •  April 5, 2009 11:56 AM

Because sometimes, you just need to stop and smell the roses. Or break into a “Sound of Music” dance number in the middle of Antwerp’s Central Station! (Thank you, American Digest and Anchoress):

    Here’s one for the crowd:

    A pro-life African-American pastor, Walter Hoye, has begun serving a 30-day jail sentenced for sharing a pro-life message outside abortion centers. Hoye was previously found guilty of violating what pro-life attorneys call an unconstitutional new city law designed specifically to target him.

    Oakland officials had enacted the law, which has been heavily criticized as curtailing free speech rights. The ordinance prohibits contact within eight feet of women entering abortion businesses without their consent.

    On Friday, Hoye began serving the 30-day sentence and he will also receive three years probation, pay a $1,000 fine and a $130 restitution fee, and be ordered to stay 100 feet away from any abortion center in the city of the Oakland.

    So much for peaceful assemblies and free speech…

    Kinda like random acts of kindness. We need more of both! Just once in a while, can’t we stop and be silly? In public? Get people to smile again? That has been a big part of our problem lately! God is still in his heaven and we need to praise Him with song and dance!
