An e-mail from a church member says one of those listed as deceased by the newspaper is definitely not deceased. So the facts seem to be real unclear at this point.

I wonder how often CoC congregations shut down for illness? In my experience, they rarely give up the fight, even for weather, unless it's very extreme blizzards or hurricanes.

Teaching a Bible class awhile I was a bit freaked out recently when one of our members kept looking at his iPhone, but I leaned later he was following along the text; he used it because I use an ESV and he didn't have a hard copy of it himself and had found that version on his iPhone. I was impressed that he took the time to find that version and then follow along.

How sad to lose someone who loved God and others before himself, who knew where true happiness was ~ not in self or material things but in serving those less fortunate. He was much wiser than most adults today who love material things over family and God. We send our condolences to the family and will be keeping them in thought and prayer.

The anti-science bias here is astonishing. And embarrassing.
David at 9:57pm July 2
Bob, I don't think it is a bias against science. I believe it is folks just thinking that the money would be better spent on more useful goals. When scientists go after government money for projects, they have to assess the importance of the work, and for many people in the government nothing is more important than looking for life "out there". It ... Read Moremakes their boring lives seem more like a movie. So if the scientist making the application (or proposal) frames the project as "a search for life in space", the chances of an approved project goes way up. The money is not totally wasted, because other good things will come of it. But it would be better if it were spent on, say, cancer research.

I have been a custodial grandparent for almost 7 years of two little boys. When our world was turned upside down by the arrest of our son and daughter-in-law, we suddenly became parents again to a toddler and an infant. We were so grateful to our wonderful church family for supporting us both emotionally and through monetary gifts. Some of these... Read More gifts were specified for certain things - and others were given to us to use as we needed for whatever purpose to make a home for two little boys who had lost theirs.
Mary Winkler lost her right to parent those girls when she was incarcerated. The Winklers were awarded legal custody which entitled them to use monetary gifts as they saw fit for the physical and emotional welfare of those girls.
Now that Mary has regained custody, she is responsible for providing for their needs - I would like to think that she would be grateful that the girls had grandparents and friends who gave them security and provided for their needs ...period!

Mary Winkler, you have your children, you have a job, now find out what it is like to raise three daughters as a single parent!! Most of all you have your Freedom. Dan and Diane Winkler shouldn't have been put in a position to pay out any legal fees period. WHY? Because their son shouldn't be dead. Think on that for awhile.

The problem is that there are the allegations that the Winklers were spending the trust money on themselves, not the granddaughters. And that there is evidence in support of those allegations. Therein lies the problem...

I stayed single until I was 53 ~ met my husband on the church of Christ single's site in 2001 and married him in Sept 2003 and give thanks every day for the wonderful man I married. But boy were the single days difficult at times, especially since I have post polio and have gone through alot of surgeries and health issues. I pray that everyone out there will stay firm in their belief, take the time to get to know someone and marry only a Christian. Your children's souls depend on it !!
Elaine at 7:38pm June 18
Kenneth and Carol, I totally agree with both of you. After deciding to become a Christian, your choice of a marriage partner is the most important decision you can make. Stay strong in your Faith.
