Picture of the Day: Evelyn and I posed with Jon and Kathy Underwood after the teacher appreciation banquet at Forest Dale Church of Christ tonight. Jon had asked me to speak at it. It's been awhile since I've spoken at a teacher appreciation banquet; I used to do a lot of those! It was a blessing to spend some time with Jon and Kathy. We've known them both for more than three decades. Kathy was a student at Cincinnati Christian University when we were serving with her dad and mom in Longmont, Colorado, 1974-1976. And Jon has worked at Standard 32 years, almost as long as I have!
Kathy fixed all the food for this evening—a huge task: ham, green beans, corn, cheesy potatoes, homemade rolls, and three kinds of pie! She sent an extra tray of rolls home with us. Oh, how wonderful!
Quote of the Day: This winter, the American Medical Association classified obesity as a disabiliy. We need to make up our minds. We cannot logically on the one hand widen a definition of disability to include an unlimited number of conditions in order to legislate protection, and then on the other hand claim that it is morally permissible to prevent those with a disability from being born or to assist in killing them once they are here.
