1. Please continue to pray for those effected by flooding in Texas.
2. Many, many people have stepped up to the plate to bring compassion, hope, and kindness to those suffering from the ravages of flooding in Texas this past weekend. Ohio Governor DeWine has mobilized the Ohio State Highway Patrol along with K-9 units to assist with rescue, search, and recovery operations in Texas. Sadly, the reaction of some Americans to this tragedy has exposed an ugly undercurrent in our country. Houston pediatrician, Dr. Christina Propst, posted on Facebook, “May all visitors, children, non-MAGA voters and pets be safe and dry. Kerr County MAGA voted to gut FEMA. They deny climate change. May they get what they voted for. Bless their hearts.” Propst was fired by her employer, Blue Fish Pediatrics. A former Houston Food Insecurity Board member, Sade Perkins, posted a Tik Tok video stating, “ I know I am going to get canceled for this, but Camp Mystic is a white-only girls’ Christian camp. They don’t even have a token Asian. They don’t have a token Black person. It’s an all-white, white-only conservative Christian camp.” She went on to say, “ If this were a group of Hispanic girls out there, this would not be getting this type of coverage that they’re getting, no one would give a f__k, and all these white people, the parents of these little girls would be saying things like ‘they need to be deported, they shouldn’t have been here in the first place’ and yada yada yada.” Houston Mayor, John Whitmire, has said he has no plans to reappoint her, particularly after her “deeply inappropriate comments.” The Reverend Colin Bossen of the First Unitarian Universalist Church (FUUC) of Houston put out a statement disavowing his girlfriend’s views and letting the community know that the comments made by Ms. Perkins are not in the spirit of FUUC’s values. Sade Perkins’ vitriol is an example of what happens when Critical Race Theory and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Marxist Ideology is allowed to infest and simmer in the heart and mind. Please pray for the Lord’s healing hand to touch the hearts of those suffering from this tragedy.
