Westerhuis' church deplores suicide, euthanasia, death penalty

Okay, these murders are a head-scratcher.

A service for Scott Westerhuis is planned for 9 a.m. Saturday at the First Reformed Church in Platte. A private service is planned for Nicole Westerhuis. [Yankton Press & Dakotan]

The Reformed Church in America IS a little preoccupied with death.

A decision to take one's own life thus appears to be a denial that one belongs to God./ A second conviction is that God does not abandon people in times of suffering...A decision to end one's life would appear to be a cessation of that trust...If Christians are to be involved in debating laws regulating assisted suicide, it will be out of a concern for the health and well-being of society.

The Westerhuis family was apparently very active in their church.

Weird, huh? Maybe Nicole Westerhuis' name came up on that Ashley Madison list.

Wild Horses of Red Rock

After consulting with the Horse Shelter and an equine veterinarian Donnamarie and Larry have decided that the best way to protect ten free-roaming horses is to keep them in their care. Forage is scarce and the only water available is from wells on their property so the four mares that will foal very soon will be safe, well cared for and as wild as possible. About fifteen acres is fenced with horse-safe wire but the gate is always open so the herd can come and go as they please. The couple has been buying hay and so far that is working but the three stallions need to be gelded and that is expensive so we're asking you to pony up to help defray the cost.
