Thoughts Along the Way . . .

In last week’s edition of my “Thoughts Along the Way” reflection I shared with you information regarding plans being considered by the Washington County Board of Commissioners to close the public health clinics currently being operated by the county. I was reminded afterwards that there are always at least two sides to every story. So, in an effort to be fair-minded and even-handed, I want to share with you information from two different sources. This link will take you to a response from Washington County officials. And this link will take you to several pieces of information provided by the Western Farm Workers Association. The WFWA opposes the plan to close the clinics. As I said in last week’s reflection, I believe that Jesus made it abundantly clear that we are called to care for the last, the lost and the least among us. Figuring out how best to accomplish that goal can be challenging. And it is an important enough goal that we need to give it our thoughtful, careful, prayerful consideration. I invite you to reflect on how you might respond.
