Super survivor’s beautiful letter

Re: “There is more good than bad in the world,” May 11 commentary

What a sweet letter Karissa Rund wrote to her niece. I am grateful for her sharing it. I read with great interest about how Karissa is a super survivor: death of a parent at a young age, widowed, Columbine shooting survivor and cancer survivor. Karissa has the experience to say what she did! Thank you, Karissa for pointing your niece and all of those hurting children to Jesus Christ. He can and will comfort the brokenhearted even when people choose evil. He will overcome evil with good.

Employers should provide child care that is safe and reliable

Re: “It’s child care, not fun job perks, that moms need,” May 13 commentary

Why should moms have to spend money and deal with the unnecessary stress of finding child care while they work at some of the wealthiest companies in America?

As a kid I remember my mom dropping me off at “Kids’ Club,” an on-location child care service at our athletic club used to ensure mothers could go workout without worrying about their children. This served as a tremendous help to my mom as it took away the stress of caring for me, and allowed for a far more productive and mind clearing workout for her. This should be the same concept applied at tech companies forefronting the modern world. Moms could be more productive knowing that their children are safe and cared for as they go about their day working in the technological world, just as my mom could workout better knowing I was safe and cared for.

Test questions for reproduction policymakers

Re: “Ignorance about the female body hurts us all,” May 14 news story

It would seem fairly obvious that anyone, especially a male, who proposes a new law concerning reproductive rights or removal of such must first pass a basic test on female physiology and anatomy. Test questions could include the nature of the menstrual cycle and its relationship to the time of fertilization of an ovum; the location of said fertilization; the nature and function of the placenta; and how the heartbeat, so oft-mentioned as a limit on abortion, actually relates to a mature circulation of blood.

After all, those who work on legislation of other “natural” processes, such as oil and gas production, do tend to either know of what they speak or get advice from experts who do. If something as fundamental to human beings as reproduction is to be regulated, controlled or otherwise sanctioned, those who do so should be able to answer the basic question: “Where do babies come from?”

A reflection on satanism

Re: “A cheeky, provocative look at the Satanic Temple,” movie review

Well, I must say the review of “Hail Satan,” a movie being shown in the Denver area, was interesting. I can’t say it was enlightening, as I have studied the tenants of satanism, but I would like to offer just one reflection. The satanism tenet, “do what thou wilt,” universally observed, would create chaos, disorder and mayhem on a grand scale. Is that really a solution, or is it just another case of man defying the divine?
