Christians Adopting Rwandan Orphans Part II
In The Oklahoman newspaper today, Carla Hinton has written a good article about the Henderson family of Oklahoma City. Mark and Sharon Henderson recently returned from Rwanda with their newly adopted sons. Mark is a minister with the Quail Springs Church of Christ in Oklahoma City.

Christians Adopting Rwandan Orphans
"For the LORD your God is the God of gods and the Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God who does not show partiality nor take a bribe. He executes justice for the orphan and the widow, and shows His love for the alien by giving him food and clothing" (Deuteronomy 10:17-18, NASB).
I read a great story in The Oklahoman today about Christians who are adopting orphaned children from Rwanda. They are members of the Quail Springs Church of Christ in Oklahoma City, a congregation that supports missionaries serving Christ's Church in Rwanda. After visiting an orphanage in the capitol city of Rwanda, a family decided to go beyond giving money (which is a very godly thing to do, of course). They decided to start the process of adopting two of the children. When other members of the church found out, they were inspired to do the same. The entire article may be read at http://newsok.com/article/3064040.

Abortion in the News
Yesterday, the Oklahoma Senate approved a bill that will prohibit tax money from supporting most unnecessary abortions in our state.
The Tulsa World's article about the measure stated, "The measure bans the use of public money and facilities for abortions except to save a woman's life or in cases of rape or incest."
The Oklahoman's report stated, "State senators easily gave final passage Wednesday to a new abortion bill that prohibits public money and institutions from being used to perform abortions...SB 139 allows abortions to save a mother's life and in cases of rape or incest."
Woman or mother? Since the Tulsa World officially supports the legal killing of any pre-born child, it chose the term "woman," because to say "mother" would imply that a child is involved in the abortion, making its justification more difficult. The Oklahoman recognized and reported the truth: a pregnant woman is a mother, a woman responsible for nurturing a child. The Oklahoman is to be commended for its honesty.
