Imagine if you were forced to pay your local grocery store even if they didn't reopen.
They would have little incentive to reopen effectively
You have essentially just imagined the K-12 school system.

Today I issued an Executive Order preventing the@release of dangerous criminals from prisons & jails.
We want to prevent the spread of #COVID19 among prison staff & inmates.
But, releasing dangerous criminals in the streets is not the solution.

The Trump administration waited too long to treat covid-19 as a crisis. So did everyone. If Trump had called for a two-week lockdown in late January rather than the travel ban (which Dems opposed), he would have been called a dictator by the same Dems now calling him derelict.
Let's ask God to help us wake up each morning with great expectation of seeing little reminders of His goodness.
God is not far from us. Evidence of His presence is all around us.
But we have to make the choice to see Him & rightly attribute to Him the good that does exist.
Often we're quick to remember others’ hurtful words but slow to remember God’s healing words.
Let's set our minds on things above by choosing to remember God’s words, repeat God’s words, and believe God’s words about us.
We must let God’s Word become the words of our story.
No one should be victimized by sexual assault.
Today I signed Melissa’s Law to close a loophole that gave lighter sentences to some rapists.
If you sexually assault someone in Texas you will face stiff punishment.

A prayer of trust and surrender for any heart that is hurting today:
Lord, these devastating circumstances have left me so weary. But the truth of Your love leaves me hopeful. I’m trusting in Your plans for me and I’m lifting up these words to You — not my will, but Yours.
“If you have really handed yourself over to Him, it must follow that you are trying to obey Him…Not hoping to get to Heaven as a reward for your actions, but inevitably wanting to act in a certain way because a first faint gleam of Heaven is already inside you.”

It’s amazing to me how many evangelicals speak openly about select political issues but keep silent about the injustice of abortion. Today’s decision by our US Sentate in regards to caring for the survivors of abortion is horrifyingly evil!
