To the editor:
In recent years, many people have tried to discredit America’s Christian roots. I am concerned that Christians are deliberately giving up a freedom to enjoy joining corporately to pray for our nation.
In 1775, the Continental Congress asked the colonies to pray for wisdom in forming a nation. Many times since then, our nation has been called to prayer and the first Thursday of May each year has been designated as the annual observance for the National Day of Prayer (Public Law 100-307-May 5, 1988)

To the editor:
We would like to thank all the business and individuals that donated water, money and other items to be taken to the tornado victims in Alabama.
We arrived in Alabama on Sunday night, dropped the truck and unloaded it early Monday morning. They took down 250 cases of water, 18 cases of canned goods, several cases of diapers, baby wipes, sanitary gloves and baby formula.
After unloading the truck, we volunteered at one of the areas.

To the editor:
In a speech to Farm Bureau recently, Congressman Ben Chandler stated that debt “is one of the great issues of our day. It has gotten worse for a number of reasons. I could go into a laundry list of those reasons,” but avoided doing so.
The laundry list, however, is being lived out by Chandler, even though he refused to speak about it. Chandler has lately been omnipresent, visiting libraries, passing out flags and appearing on TV warning of the dangers of using credit cards online, and telling people to take CPR lessons.

To the editor:
The Lord’s will, and our purpose in it, is often hidden from us due to our own intellect.
For many years I couldn’t wrap my head around this faith thing. Him working through me now, and giving me wisdom, I realize that my intellect was in the way of his purpose.
Total surrender is ultimately necessary in order to receive his blessings, and to carry out his will for others to receive it.
