Two Issues about Immigrants

Spent most of today editing material for the first of two issues we're devoting to the theme of immigration (in Christian Standard, of course).  If we had gone monthly in June, as we thought we might, this material would have made a good core of that monthly issue. But instead we'll spread the material across two issues--two full issues.
The first of the two will offer several different perspectives on what the Bible says about immigration. Believe it or not, respected voices come up with different views on that. The second issue will tell the stories of immigrants, most of them undocumented, to help readers get a picture of the lives so many of these folks live.
I'm convinced the issue is more complicated than many of us have considered. Watch of the issues in June. I'm anticipating reader response.

Today's picture I took Saturday when I was browsing at Home Depot. They have shelves and shelves of tender annuals for sale. But it's still to early to plant 'em. I'm guessing they've been covering them the last couple of nights with our frost/freeze warnings. But these are pretty, for sure.
