Kasich proposes
‘red flag’ law, other
gun changes in state
COLUMBUS, Ohio
(AP) — Gov. John Kasich
on Thursday advocated a
“red ﬂag” law for Ohio,
a ban on armor-piercing
ammunition and other
gun policy positions he
says represent political
consensus in a bellwether
state that could ﬂy nationally.
The Republican governor proposed six changes
he wants to see Ohio
make related to guns and
background checks. They
include forcing stricter
compliance deadlines and
penalties around entering data into the national
background check system;
prohibiting those under
domestic violence protection orders from buying or
possessing ﬁrearms; and
clarifying Ohio’s prohibi-

tion on so-called “strawman” third-party gun
purchases.
“We want to make sure
that we can bring greater
safety to the state, but at
the same time not frighten
people who believe very
strongly in their ability
to practice the Second
Amendment,” Kasich said
at a Statehouse news conference. “But we can keep
them together.”
His announcement
came after an extraordinary day in Washington
on Wednesday, during
which Republican President Donald Trump supported quick and substantial changes to the nation’s
gun laws, including some
gun control positions
opposed by the powerful
National Riﬂe Association.

As we think about Jesus
cleansing the temple, we
should also thing about some
other cleaning that may need
to be done – in us. We are in
a season called Lent. At ﬁrst,
the word Lent meant “the
season of spring.” Now it has
now become much more than
that. It is a time of preparation
for Easter and to look inside
ourselves and see if there is
anything in us that need to be
changed. Are there some areas
of your life where Jesus needs

know there are in mine! Maybe
you ﬁght with your brothers
and sisters or you talk back to
your parents at times or you
misbehave in school. Stop and
think about asking Jesus to
help you do better.
Let’s say a prayer. Dear Jesus
during this time of Lent and
“self- cleaning,” we ask You
to realize when we do wrong,
ask You for forgiveness, and
to make us clean too. In Your
name we pray, Amen.

Even in Christ, this life has its

is not diminished by these events.

Lame-icity de-legitimizes our faith
It is getting close to
Easter, which is one
of the seasons for “E
Christians” to emerge
among the Church ranks.
“E Christians” are the
yearly counterparts of
“C Christians.” “E and
C” stand for Easter and
Christmas. People of
this sort attend Church
or countenance a vague
Christian afﬁliation only
brieﬂy during the Easter
and Christmas seasons.
Otherwise, these excuse
themselves in a variety of
ways during the course
of the year from any
real commitment to the
expectations of the Lord
Jesus Christ.
Though their excuses
are considered as personally legitimate, it actually
becomes a matter of spiritual “lame-icity,” which
is a word I once made up
to capture the essence
of any spiritual-related
excuse people associated
with the Church offer to
offset Christian duties.
It is amazing how comfortable people are with
lame-icity. For example,
a man asked his neighbor if he could borrow

explained that lending

not possible because
there were clouds in the

His leading in my life is
picking up speed and,
although I may at ﬁrst
try to rein Him in, the
best thing to do is just
hold on and trust Him
to take me where He
wants me to be.
Above all, whether
we are feeling like God
is holding us back or is
moving us too fast, we
must remember that His
love for us is absolutely
perfect. I have no illusions about Blackberry’s
affection for me: only
my own sentimentality
would have me think
that any existed.
But the Bible paints
on the canvas of our
hearts a clear picture of
God’s love for us using
the vivid colors of His
faithfulness throughout the history of the
world. At the center
of this painting is the
cross upon which Jesus
died. When I see there
all that love has done
for me, I know that His
daily leadings in my life
are always right and
good.
“Beloved, if God so
loved us, we also ought
to love one another. No
one has ever seen God;
if we love one another,
God abides in us and
His love is perfected in
us. By this we know that
we abide in Him and He
in us, because He has
given us His Spirit. And
we have seen and testify
that the Father has sent
His Son to be the Savior of the world. So we
have come to know and
to believe the love that
God has for us.” (1 John
4:11-14, 16a ESV).

“C’mon!” I snapped.
He ignored me. I pulled
harder on the reins and
pressed my heels into
his side. “Giddap!” I
barked. He glanced back
towards me, snorted,
and kept eating. I pulled
forcefully on the reins
and gave him a light
kick with my heel (no
stirrups were on my feet
in case you wondered).
He lowered his head
sharply, paused a split
second, and then threw
it back and began bucking. I had never ridden
a bucking horse before
so didn’t really have
a lot of knowledge or
experience to guide me.
I did have a plan though.
My plan was to not fall
off. I stopped trying to
control him and focused
on keeping my center
of gravity above him so
that every time I became
airborne (which was
about every half second), I would land back
in the saddle. I didn’t
fall off and he eventually
stopped bucking. He
took a few more bites
(to prove his point, no
doubt), and then turned
back towards the trail
and followed the others.
Soon we came to a
straight stretch and
Blackberry began to
trot. His trot quickly
became a canter, and
as my anxiety began to
increase, I instinctively
began to rein him in. He
slowed down some, but
he tossed his head and
tensed up like he was
thinking about losing his
baggage once and for all.
I immediately let him
have his head.
He went back to his
canter and then into
a full gallop. We soon
caught up with the
other riders just as they
neared the end of the

LeBron swats talk of Philadelphia visit
INDEPENDENCE,
Ohio (AP) — This LeBron James-to-Philly stuff
is getting either silly —
or serious.
Just days after three
billboards, paid for by a
Pennsylvania company,
popped up in Ohio urging
James to sign with the
76ers this summer as a
free agent, the three-time
NBA champion reportedly was spotted in the
Philadelphia area over
the All-Star break touring
area high schools.
Sixers TV game analyst
Alaa Abdelnaby said he
was told that James, who
has three kids, looked at
private schools in Philadelphia last month.
“I’ve told this to a few
other people, and I have
no problem saying this,”
Abdelnaby said on Philly
Sports Talk. “My brother
lives in the Philadelphia
area and he told me that
LeBron, last week through
a superintendent, was
in the area checking out
some private schools during the All-Star break.”
At Thursday’s shootaround before the Cavs
hosted the Sixers, James
was asked if he was in
Philadelphia.
“Pennsylvania? Nah,”
he said. “What are you
talking about? Over the

All-Star break, I was on
vacation and then went to
Los Angeles.”
Following the group
interview session, James
was still wondering why
he was asked about being
in Philadelphia a few
weeks ago. Told that it
was because of reports
that he was spotted there,
James grimaced.
“That’s disgusting,” he
said.

ment with a dominating
victory on a weathered
old racetrack.
Away from Daytona,
the veterans showed the
young new drivers how
to race on the dogged
surface at Atlanta Motor
Speedway. Harvick put on
a clinic, and the top eight
ﬁnishers were the familiar
faces that seem to compete for wins every week.
All the new kids who
sparkled in the Daytona
500 had their hands full
at Atlanta, a track that
requires an entirely different skill-set. In the
season-opening showcase,
the idea is to go as fast
as you can while avoiding
the mishaps of others.
But the style of racing
at Daytona, as well as
Talladega, comes just
four times a year. The
rest of the NASCAR
schedule is where the
true talent rises. So at
Atlanta, where experience matters, the ﬁnishing order showed ﬁve
former series champions
— four Daytona 500 winners — cross the ﬁnish
line in order.
“This is a racetrack that
takes a lot of experience,
and there’s a lot of things
that you have to know
about your car and know
about the racetrack to get
the car around,” Harvick
said. “This is where experience pays off.”
That doesn’t ﬁt the
fresh narrative that came
out of Daytona, where
the new crop of NASCAR
drivers ruled. Alex Bowman won the pole, Chase
Elliott and Ryan Blaney
won qualifying races,
Blaney led the most laps
in the Daytona 500, Austin Dillon won the race
and Bubba Wallace ﬁnished second in his debut.
At 27, Dillon is the oldest
driver in that bunch.
Harvick, meanwhile,
is 42.
The shift in focus to the
new generation is not lost
on anyone who follows
NASCAR, particularly
the veteran drivers. Some
have nitpicked about the
marketing push behind
this “New NASCAR!”
and they had to have felt
the change in dynamic at
Daytona.

Vikings, others face
tough decisions as
free agency nears
INDIANAPOLIS
(AP) — Rick Spielman came to this year’s
annual NFL scouting
combine with a quarterback quandary.
He has two ﬁrstround draft picks trying
to recover from injuries
and a third-stringer,
who led the Minnesota Vikings to the NFC
championship game.
Now, instead of reaping the beneﬁts of his
smart moves and abundant riches, Spielman
faces one of the most
challenging decisions
a general manager can
with all three set to
become free agents in
less than two weeks.
“I believe in Case
Keenum,” Spielman
said Wednesday, the
ﬁrst full day of activity
in Indianapolis. “He
did a phenomenal job
and he has a knack for
making big plays. We’re
very excited about what
he was able to accomplish.”
The more telling
question might be how
eager others around the
league to sign Keenum,
Teddy Bridgewater and
Sam Bradford?
Spielman is running
short on time as the
carousel spins. He says
he won’t make any decisions until he returns to
Minneapolis next week.
Meanwhile, the offseason has started with
a bang.
Alex Smith was traded from Kansas City to
Washington, essentially
assuring Kirk Cousins
becomes a free agent.
Blake Bortles and
Jimmy Garoppolo each
signed contract extensions with Garoppolo
getting a reported ﬁveyear, $137.5 million
deal. Garoppolo won
his ﬁrst ﬁve starts in
San Francisco after a
midseason trade from
New England and is
now 7-0 as a starter.
The new deals have
Green Bay contemplating a new deal for
Aaron Rodgers. New
general manager Brian
Gutekunst acknowledged “it’s not going to
be inexpensive.”
But this could be just
the start to a wild and
wooly offseason.
The free agent market
opens March 14 and
Keenum, Bridgewater
and Bradford could all
be attractive options
for quarterback-needy
teams.
Keenum seemed to
ﬁnd a home last year
after spending two-plus
seasons in Houston and
two-plus seasons with
the Rams.
Bridgewater was

considered the Vikings’
next big star until
he tore the ACL and
dislocated his knee in
August 2016. He made
it back brieﬂy late last
season and now the
Vikings await a ruling
that could force Bridgewater to stick around
one more season before
hitting free agency.
Spielman doesn’t
sound hopeful about
Minnesota’s chances.
“I don’t personally
believe, with what I
know today, that his
contract will toll,” he
said.
One big advantage
the Vikings have: They
know Bridgewater’s
prognosis and exactly
where he stands in the
rehab process.
Bradford, the 2010
NFL offensive rookie
of the year, missed all
but two games last season with a knee injury
and there are longterm questions about
the stability of his left
knee. The 30-year-old
has a long history of
injuries but a needy
team might be willing
to take a calculated
risk on the 2008 Heisman Trophy winner
and top pick in the
2010 draft.
Other prominent
names could be on the
move, too.
Cousins and Mike
Glennon are expected
to be available after
the Bears announced
Wednesday they would
release Glennon, and
39-year-old Drew Brees
will be a free agent if
he doesn’t re-sign with
the Saints in the next
two weeks. The conventional wisdom suggests
Brees will remain in
New Orleans.
Then there’s the trade
market.
Coach Sean McDermott said Buffalo does
not intend to cut Tyrod
Taylor but could trade
him. And if the New
York Giants decide to
rebuild with a young
quarterback, 37-yearold Eli Manning could
hear his name bandied
about.
One team that
seemed to take itself
out of the discussion
is reigning Super Bowl
champion Philadelphia.
Executive vice
president of football
operations Howie Roseman appears to be in
no hurry to change
anything with starter
Carson Wentz recovering from a torn ACL in
his left knee, especially
after backup Nick Foles
led the Eagles to their
ﬁrst NFL title since
1960.
