Opinion

“Value You Them Both Amendment” Debated In Ks. Legislature Today

Leave a comment
Will you stand in the gap?

Thursday the Kansas State House will gavel  at 0900, to debate the “Value Them Both Amendment.”

What the purpose of this Amendment is that it would return the voting power back to the people of Kansas through their legislators and out of the hands of the courts.
The threat and ruling that the Kansas Supreme Court made last year were that they said, there is a fundamental right in the Kansas State Constitution Section 1 for an abortion.
Now with that ruling, many of the safeguards that have been previously put into place, are at risk to be labeled undue burdens.

Such as parental consent and notification before a minor girl has an abortion. Clean sanitary surgical facilities. And also that this could lead to taxpayer-funded abortions up to birth.

We must stand in the gap and pray, this is a battle for life and death. Kansas has been under assault by a spirit of ungodliness.
So it is time for the Church to stand and pray in the Name of Jesus, for forgiveness & healing and to turn this nation around starting here in the heart of the Nation here in the State of Kansas.
Ezekiel 22:30
So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one.
Will you stand in the gap for life?
Thanks, and Lord bless you as you serve Him.

Great Backyard Bird Count at Fort Scott NHS this Month 

Leave a comment
Fort Scott Kan. – Fort Scott National Historic Site will host a free guided bird walk Monday, February 17, from 7 to 9 am and 1 to 3 pm, for the Great Backyard Bird Count.

A National Park Service Ranger will lead two easy, one-mile, two-hour birdwatching walks starting from the Visitor Center. Rangers and participants will record all bird sightings and upload the data to the Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC). This walk is for birders of all skill levels and you don’t have to stay for the entire program to make a difference. Birders are encouraged to bring binoculars and layered clothing.

Since 1998, “The Backyard Bird Count has been an opportunity for citizen scientists around the world to contribute to the understanding of wild birds, their environment, and numbers,” said Betty Boyko, Superintendent, Fort Scott National Historic Site. “We encourage everyone to join us each month for additional bird walks and programs.” Watch for scheduled bird walks in the park throughout the year on Facebook or at the Fort Scott NHS Website www.nps.gov/fosc.

For more information about the Great Backyard Bird Count, contact Ranger Abby at Fort Scott National Historic Site by calling 620-223-0310.

Each checklist submitted during the GBBC helps researchers at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the National Audubon Society learn more about how birds are doing, and how to protect them and the environment we share. Last year, more than 160,000 participants submitted their bird observations online, creating the largest instantaneous snapshot of global bird populations ever recorded. The results of these bird counts are available at https://gbbc.birdcount.org.
