My heart is heavy with sadness for the lives lost at the white nationalist rally in Charlottesville. A helicopter patrolling during the violence crashed and killed the two state troopers on board.
Heather Heyer was a 32-year-old paralegal who showed up to peacefully protest. She was killed by a self-professed Nazi-sympathizer who drove his car into the crowd, injuring many others. Some vile acts of violence can’t be anticipated by those with healthy minds.
Years ago I was a political activist. I participated in actions all across the United States attempting Read More

Statement From La Vista ChurchThe ideologies of any organization or individual that claim the superiority of race over another is absolutely incompatible with the message of the Christian Bible.
Racism is an abhorrent sin against humanity and God. Entities such as the KKK, white nationalists, neo-Nazi’s, or other such racist organizations are evil and in complete opposition to the Christian Bible.
You can be racist. You can be a Christian. You cannot be both. Read More

How The Hen House Turns: Love From; Between Animals
By CARY NEEPERThe noun love takes up a full three inches in my beloved 1980 edition of Webster’s New Twentieth Century Dictionary Unabridged. There are eight definitions with eight examples: “…a strong affection for or attachment or devotion to…” persons or things or interests or deity or “…in tennis, a score of zero.”
The question here, however, is do animals do it? We’ve talked about how Lucy goose “loved corn,” as did the other Hen House birds. I could relate to the eagerness in which she raced to my hand to gobble as much as she could before the chickens got to me. She didn’t Read More
