This Easter, eyes will be opened

As we approach Easter, many of us think about the meaning of Easter. It is not about bunnies, colored eggs, peeps, or chocolate candy. The Bible gives us the true meaning of Easter: “For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures” (1 Corinthians 15:3-4 NKJV).

The new Republican movement

Dear Editor, Not content with its 2020 anti-democracy movement, Senate Republicans today have proudly crafted a new anti-children movement. They want to suffocate the current federal virus aid proposal, which would provide tests, treatments, and vaccines giving children a pathway to growth, health, and security in an Armageddon-like world. Polio vaccines for kids saved World War II era kids from debility and death. But now, as World War III looms, Republicans want to hold everyone else’s mostly poor kids hostage to their own peculiar notions of good health and good science. The Republican “health” program seeks to immunize the ultra-luxury…
