Supreme Court won't have final ruling on God's law

Supreme Court won't havefinal ruling on God's law
EDITOR:
The Supreme Court has now made sodomy and homosexuality legal. They did the same with abortion (Roe vs. Wade). But the legality of abortion does not make it morally right. Our country has never been a Christian nation per se, but it was founded on a standard higher than the Supreme Court, i.e., the word of God -- the Bible. It is still the basis of our whole judicial system.
This is the same standard that defines the breach of morality, i.e., sins like murder, stealing, adultery (between heterosexuals), etc. Whatever the Supreme Court & quot;decides & quot; does not change God's changeless law! What we do in the privacy of our homes is certainly our business, but we still must someday answer to God. If sodomy (homosexual) and adultery (heterosexual) are & quot;legal & quot; in private, then what about poisoning or smothering someone to death in my home? How far are we going with this mentality?
God not only made the races, but likewise established human (and animal) sexuality. Not to be trite, but he made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve. Marriage is a beautiful, God-given institution not only for mutual comfort but to produce parental offspring. This is the & quot;natural & quot; order of things, even in the animal kingdom (though on a lower level). It would be quite & quot;unnatural & quot; to witness sexual activity between dogs and cats of the same sex. Likewise, legal or illegal, intimate activity between same-sex individuals is unnatural at best.
Our young people are already confused these days with a decadent society that has lost its moorings. We are reaping the awful harvest of doing what is right & quot;in our own eyes. & quot; Let's get back to the divine and natural order of things where, indeed, men are masculine and women are feminine.

Let's not forget'Remember IDORA!'
EDITOR:
You've probably heard by now that "Remember IDORA!" at Powers Auditorium in Youngstown was a phenomenal success. About 6,000 people attended four performances during a busy holiday weekend. There were 186 cast members.
Since last month, I have been asked by more than 100 people if this extraordinary show, which recreates a cherished aspect of our local heritage, will be staged again.
Before any misinformation is allowed to grow, I would like to publicly answer that question. Because the show was so emphatically received by this community, the answer is absolutely yes! A bigger, even more magnificent show with spectacular sound is now in the works tentatively scheduled for fall 2004.
We hope at least 300 local residents will come on board as cast members for "Remember IDORA!" 2004.
Our goal is to add more and more cast members each year. Already, there are several local dance studios that have expressed interest in participating, along with Boy Scouts of America and other local youth organizations.
Since there are 32 separate song and dance numbers that cover almost every aspect of Idora Park, the board members of Celebrate Life Inc. (who sponsored "Remember IDORA!" 2003) have decided that this show can comfortably allow about 3,200 cast members to participate, each group bringing about 100 people to represent their song and dance number.

Lost revenue vs. lost lives
EDITOR:
How sad that Mr. Alberini lost $400,000 to $500,000 in revenue the last time the state of Ohio lowered the blood-alcohol limit. Try telling that to a family that lost a loved one as a result of an alcohol related crash.
After 20 plus years with groups like Mothers Against Drunk Driving trying to make the highway safer for us all, Mr. Alberini still doesn't get it.
