We all are in shock over the tragic tornado damage and loss of life in Oklahoma. Please remember those families and first-responders in your prayers. The Kentucky Baptist DR team is communicating with those on the ground to assess if and how Kentucky can help. This email went out this morning:
I was reading some of the statewide news articles today in the Lexington Herald-Leader and the Courier Journal, when an op-ed headline from the Leader caught my attention:
I've always been opposed to abortion from a pure policy standpoint - its the termination of a life God chose to create.
This editorial was written by Richard Nelson, a Trigg County Magistrate and Executive Director of the Commonwealth Policy Center, a nonprofit policy center. The piece originally appeared in the Kentucky New Era (available here). Please be aware - the article contains information that is graphic and disturbing in nature.
Our minds never need to reach too far back in time to recall memories of natural disasters. In the 3rd District we have fresh memories of tornados ripping paths of damage, and the potential for severe ice storms arises every other winter it seems. Disaster preparedness is a priority in my family, and given our climate and location (particularly relative to the New Madrid Fault line) it should be at the top of your family's priority list too.
