The news of Texas covered today includes:
Our Lone Star story of the day: A natural disaster hit Texas at just the wrong time on the calendar and wrong time of day from our perspective. The disaster is already exposing who are the real adherents of “hate” and our arrogance that we can be “in control.” We are not in control. Some go dark at such times, others reflect the light of Christ that testify to our capability to go good. I want to thank and celebrate the Christian faith of Tavia Hunt, wife of the owner of the Kansas City Chiefs, for her witness at this terrible time (click to read.).
