Pastor David Gatton’s Thought for the Week

February 16, 2023 by UNMC Office

Another shooting, this time of children in Nashville.  At yet another school.  Sculptors now carve stone of children huddled under their desks.  Gun rights advocates think their AR-15s are symbols of their freedom.  Ask the children.  I don’t think an AR-15 can fit underneath a desk, but its bullets can. 

This Sunday we will explore the values of “Steadfast and Enduring.”  We need them both now more than ever to protect our children. 

See you Sunday, when despite all that surrounds us, we will lay our palms to the ground for a donkey carrying a humble Messiah to enter the city. 

Pastor Dave
