National museum apologize for treatment of pro-life student group
The nationally renowned Smithsonian has apologized for an incident involving a pro-life student group from South Carolina. According to various reports, students from Our Lady of the Rosary School in Greenville, South Carolina were harassed by the staff of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. According to parents and students, the group wore bright blue sweater caps with the school’s name and the words pro-life in big letters (the students were in Washington, D.C. for the recent March for Life Rally). The group was told they had to remove the caps, or they would have to leave the museum.
The groups say they were continuously harassed. The staff claimed the museum was a neutral zone and the hats were a political statement. Parents and chaperones say the caps were being worn to distinguish its group from others. The ACLJ (American Center for Law and Justice) filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of a student and three parents concerning the incident. A representative for the museum apologized saying the museum’s security mistakenly targeted the students for their attire.
SNBC HEALTH REPORT: limiting stress and ways to achieve this goal
Stress can be an ongoing issue in the daily lives of busy adults. Following 2020 cases of stress and depression have risen across the US in children and adults. The Word of God tells us to cast your cares on Him for He cares for you (I Peter 5:7).
This scripture is important to keep in mind along with other scriptures that encourage us to always lean on the Lord, especially in times of stress. It is important to remember this not only because the Lord encourages us to turn to Him, but also because of the effects stress can have on the human body. Stress can cause high blood pressure, heart disease, obesity, emotional instability, chest pains and headaches. Here are some tips to help combat stress. Working to achieve a stress-free environment is key. If this is not possible at your place of work or business seek this kind of environment in your home. Playing scriptures, walking in nature, and eating a healthy diet all contribute to eliminating stress. Creating a routine when going to bed at night also helps with limiting stress. A warm bath or shower, limiting screen time and limiting light assists in achieving rest during sleep time.
Here are some more scriptures to meditate on concerning winning over stress.
Matthew 6:34
Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
John 14:27
Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Psalms 16:8
I have set the Lord always before me;
Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.
Psalms 23:4
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
Psalms 121: 1-2
I will lift up my eyes to the hills—
From whence comes my help?
