Urgent Choices

 Insurrection                                                   Voter Suppression

Rioters running through the Capitol.             Voting Restrictions running through Rep. Legislatures

Priority? Keep people not like us from voting.  Priority? Ensure everyone's voice heard to preserve                                                                                                       democracy

The "Big Lie" lives on                                 Unless we tell the truth.

Girls Killed in Afghanistan; More guns in U.S.

 There have been at least 191 mass shootings in the U.S. since the beginning of the year. In Afghanistan over the weekend over 50 people were killed and over 100 injured in a bomb attack...mostly school girls. In Iowa as of July 1 anyone can carry a gun in public places, e.g. grocery stores, malls, without safety training or a permit. How many more people will have to die? We, too, are a killing culture. How do we live in the image of the Creating, Reconciling, Life-giving God?
