If I understand the location correctly, the warning signs were over to the side this morning with the sign facing the ditch when we passed by the intersection. I did notice the water higher this morning under the relief bridges on business 59 than it was yesterday evening.
Our thanks to the Victoria Advocate for covering this story. There are a couple of things that need to be cleared up. The reference to a December deadline is not a deadline but a date that minimizes impact to the Church and its yearly schedule. More importantly the Advocate chose as did the Synod Bishop to focus on the issue of homosexuality because they know it divides and sells copy. Our vote was about belief in Scripture. There were supporting resolutions passed at the Church Wide Assembly who's impacts go far beyond a social issue. Zion Lutheran chose to stand by Scripture, the ELCA chose to over rule the Authority of Scripture with a vote. Our church is terminating its relationship with ELCA so that we may continue to follow scripture the same way we did before the vote. The Bishop is quoted as saying we could choose not to follow the social statement but one of the ELCA implementing resolutions stated that the "Church Wide Body" support the sexuality statement not just those congregations that choose to. Though conservative in our Christian faith, we are not full of hate. Being Lutheran in faith, we believe that none are above sin. Our vote is a statement that what was a sin 2000 years ago is still a sin and it's not up to us to decide. As we try to follow the true beliefs of the Lutheran Denomination, Faith Alone, Scripture Alone, Grace Alone, We ask that you keep our congregation in your prayers.
Thanks for your comment. His mother and I are extremely proud. There were a couple of things in the article that should be corrected. One is the bill he introduced that was endorsed by Representative Morrison stated that parents/guardians of youth under the age of 18 be required to have a working smoke detector in the sleeping area of the youth. It is not the bills intention to require the state to buy the smoke detectors. However when Chris met with Representative Morrison she encouraged him to consider pursuing grants to fund his community service project especially if the bill became law. Our thanks to the Victoria Fire Marshal's office, State Farm Insurance agent Gary Breech, and Representative Morrison for their resources assistance with Chris' project. Thanks to Gilda Miller for her willingness to participate and the care Citizens Medical Center provides to our community. We also want to say thanks to the Victoria Advocate for making the public aware of this project and last weeks 4-H Congress in Austin where Chris proposed the bill and promoted the new distribution thru hospital nurseries and pediactric centers.
