Children who grow up recycling and who interact with others of different cultures and colors take these things for granted. If we want to reduce the impact of gambling on our country, or remove it all together, we need to redirect our focus onto our children. Bible study is all well and good for our children, but what use is that knowledge if they don't have the skills to apply it to everyday life when they reach adulthood. We need to teach our children to use their Bible knowledge in a meaningful, Christian way. Concentrate on God's gift to tomorrow.

Were it to be dismantled, Kentucky would suffer a huge loss.
