I came across this article this morning.

A quote from the editor of the destroyed series: “This is probably the first instance of mass book-burning in the 21st century.”

Miami Abortion Clinic Investigation

I saw this story this morning about a woman went to an abortion clinic to have her 23 week-old fetus aborted. While there she delievered while waiting on the doctor to arrive. One of the clinic’s owners cut the umblilical chord, put the baby in a bag and threw it out.

The article contains the statement “The case has riled the anti-abortion community, which contends the clinic’s actions constitute murder.”

This was on John’s shared feeds this morning:

Should be interesting to the ruling in this case where a Nebraska Senator is suing God.

Rural Schools

Saw this article this morning. It reports that a recent study shows kids in rural schools do better in a variety of subjects than kids in the city. The article suggests that rural schools tend to have a lower student to teacher ration, but I wonder if growing up in the country doesn’t help out too.

John Smeaton “What’s the score? I’ve got to get this sorted”

My friend Allan in Glasgow sent me an update on the Glasgow Airport attack. John Smeaton is a baggage handler at the airport who was taking a smoke break when the terrorists drove into the terminal, he (and some others) rushed in to help the police detain the attackers. He exemplifies Glasgae spirit:

Check out the site in his honor, and the song written for him.

Cheers!

Glasgow Airport Attack

Saw this today. A terrorist drove a burning car into the terminal entrance at Glasgow airport. Seeing these sorts of evil acts is always sobering; to see it happen at a place your child has stood is particularly poignant.

My prayers are with ya’ll over there.
