Floyds Fork must survive. Here’s what needs to change to make it happen.
Louisville and our Metro Council will determine the fate of Floyds Fork when the Floyds Fork Zoning Overlay District comes to a vote this Thursday. Protections placed by Jefferson County on the stream’s main corridor in 1993 have been reviewed. Revisions are through the Planning Commission and on Metro Council to decide the future of the waterway at the heart of the Parklands. Metro Council Resolution #71, series 2022 directed the Planning Commission to review the Floyds Fork Special District.
If not for Holy Week, there'd be no Christianity
It was during the Easter season one year ago when life got flipped on its head due to COVID-19. I remember preaching on Easter morning last year to an empty church with dozens of households joining via a live broadcast online. It just didn't feel right but practically all the churches across this nation went virtual for the month of April. I am so glad that during this year's Easter season things are not like they were in 2020. But maybe we should change the way that we speak of Easter.
If you're a Christian, unity is non-negotiable
By STEVE HENRY I know that this doesn't come as surprising news, but the last 11 months of our lives haven't been very normal. COVID-19 has definitely taken a toll on everyone. On Feb. 17, the Associated Press came out with an article about life expectancy in the U.S. dropping by a full year in the first half of 2020, making note that it was the biggest drop since the World War II era. This is a disheartening story.
COLUMN: Valuing human life is a biblical, not political, thing
January is almost over but hopefully people realized that it was the Sanctity of Life Month. The primary focus of this observation is on the intrinsic value of the unborn child, but we never want to devalue any human life. You can look back throughout history and see governments, religions and peoples devaluing others based on various attributes. kAmx7 J@F 2C6 8@:?8 E@ 36 AC@\=:76 E96?

COLUMN: 2020 has certainly given all of us much to endure
Steve Henry Can you believe that another year is about to begin? Maybe you'd rather say you are glad 2020 is over! Whatever your thoughts and feelings may be, Friday is the beginning of a new year. I wonder what 2021 will be like? kAm(92E x 5@ <?@H :D x 2> 92AAJ E92E E96C6 :D?VE 2 AC6D:56?E:2= 6=64E:@? :? a_a`] xV> 8=25 AC@8C6DD 2?5 F?56CDE2?5:?8 92D 366? >256 E9C@F89@FE a_a_ C682C5:?8 E96 4@C@?2G:CFD] xV> DE:== D2556?65 2E E96 5:G:D:@?

COLUMN: Make sure you understand to whom your thanks is due
For me, and maybe it's the same for you, I am looking forward to four holidays before the close of this year. The first one is this week - Thanksgiving. The next two holidays are actually on the same day, Nov. 26. It's the first day of buck season and the first day of doe season.
COLUMN: Prayer can help everyone regardless of election results
I'm sure that people reading this column have noticed that an election is happening soon. Here in Pennsylvania, residents have until Monday, Oct. 19, to register to vote so if you haven't done so, you better get on that real quick. With politics in mind, I wanted to write something a little different for this column. kAm(6 @7E6? 7FDD 2?5 7F>6 @G6C H92E E96 42?5:52E6D 92G6 D2:5 2?5 5@?6] |2J36 H6 DE:C FA EFC>@:= H96?

COLUMN: As Christians, we must talk about politics and religion
I've heard it said for years that people would get along better if we didn't talk about politics or religion, but I think that is an absolutely ludicrous statement. As a Christian - and it should be this way for any saved and Spirit-filled believer - our faith must be the most important topic to discuss with others. Politically, who is voted into our local, state and federal offices should be of great interest, and we should have candid conversations about issues.
COLUMN: We must be willing to hear, study and listen to the truth
My church's weekly Bible study group has been studying the book of John for the last 11 weeks. We have just gotten to the point in John's Gospel account of the Triumphal Entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. This is a week before his crucifixion. One of the huge themes that we have talked about during our study is that so many people didn't want to hear or listen to the truth of the teachings of Jesus. Countless times in these first 11 chapters of John, Jesus makes the Pharisees mad.
COLUMN: We can take a lesson from how Paul valued freedom
I need to let readers know that I've been struggling, especially this last month. The statistics and facts that are now coming out regarding suicide, depression, business closures, abuse, loneliness, anxiety and other emotional ramifications due to "social distancing" have broken my heart. People in need of surgery have been living in pain. Thousands have died alone in nursing homes and hospital rooms who were not COVID-19 positive.
COLUMN: If nothing else, this is the time for us to show love
I have to be honest with you, I am currently struggling with what to write for today's column. Typically, I know exactly what to write. It seems like the Lord just nudges me and says, "Here's the topic or passage to address for Saturday." Today's isn't clear yet. So much is going through my mind. Do I share about tomorrow being Palm Sunday and its significance? Do we focus on this crazy COVID-19 virus? Maybe something should be written that is completely different?
COLUMN: God will empower you to weather the storms of life
These last few years here in northwestern Pennsylvania the winter weather has had its oddities. We've had a few times when the deep freeze just chilled you to the bone. But during other winters, like this year's, we have experienced fall, winter, and spring-like seasons over the span of six to eight weeks! kAmx 5@?VE <?@H :7 J@F 92G6 ?@E:465[ 3FE 2 =@E @7 A6@A=6 4@>A=2:? 23@FE E96 H62E96C] x7 :EVD 4@=5[ E96J D2J E96J H2?E :E H2C>6C] x7 :EVD E@@ 9@E 7@C E96:C =:<:?8[ E96?
COLUMN: Seasons change, lives change, but Jesus remains the same
Hebrews 13:8 says, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." Aren't you glad for that? I know I sure am. Being over 40 years old, I think I'm old enough to look back a little on my life. I remember the changes in our family with each of the births of our children. I remember (and don't remember) medical emergencies and surgeries. kAmx C6>6>36C E96 G6CJ 7:CDE A6CD@?
COLUMN: Obedience to God can lead you into an amazing future
I would assume that many people reading this column aren't biblical scholars on the Old Testament books of Ezra and Nehemiah. By no means am I an expert on them either, but for the first time in my ministry, we are studying these two books at church during our midweek studies. It's incredible, and I have been guilty of this, that so many pastors and church leaders skip over books of the Bible that may seem irrelevant or even boring.
Safely Lighting in Hazardous Environments
Lighting fixtures play a critical role in the safe, efficient and productive operation of any industrial facility or production process. Darkened, enclosed and round-the-clock operations rely on them exclusively for illumination. Daylight operations benefit from the additional and spot lighting they provide. However, facilities, such as petrochemical, food processing and grain storage, require more from their lighting fixtures.
