A first-person story, on the dangers of gender-transitioning medical treatments and surgery. A 19-year-old, Chloe Cole, spoke on Capitol Hill in the past week, and today’s Family Life News-Feature includes her opening statement to Congress.The California teen was 12 years old when she was put on hormone blockers and testosterone. In the following five years, she went through numerous surgeries to become male, but would regret her transition, and became one of many thousands who “de-transitioned” back toward her original body. But, there are permanent scars — physical and emotional. Here is her compelling, cautionary tale.

Child Evangelism Fellowship brings the Bible — and Biblical hope — to 19 million children around the world. There are new and expanding New York outreaches of CEF to Genesee, Wyoming, Monroe and Orleans counties.
Mary Hooker and Beth Russell tells us about the Good News Club and the Five Day Clubs which reach out into local communities. They talk about the spiritual battle for the souls of young people. These leaders say that too many of today’s children (even in this nation) do not have faith backgrounds, knowledge of Bible truths, or experience with church people. Child Evangelism Fellowship needs volunteers to help with shaping the hearts of the next generation.

Agricultural interests across the nation are looking for ways to maintain product safety while streamlining the regulation processes involved throughout the industry. Some proponents say legislation now being debated in D.C. — the “PRIME” Act — would make it easier for smaller operations and family farms to sell pork, beef and other products, without overbearing and sometimes-arbitrary USDA inspections.
Family Life’s Abigail Hofland compiles some of the testimony and commentary about the PRIME Act — “Processing Revival and Intrastate Meat Exemption” Act. New York Representative Claudia Tenney was among those speaking at the recent congressional hearing. Others in agri-business also offered their experiences and recommendations. The proposed legislation has 33 Republican and 6 Democratic co-sponsors in the House, including Pennsylvania’s Scott Perry and Lloyd Smucker.

Family Life’s “Staycation Destinations” for Summer 2023
“Ska-Nonh” translates into English, roughly, as “peace and wellness” or “I am glad it is well with you.”
That Native American vocabulary — and philosophy — gave the name to the Ska-nonh Great Law of Peace Center along the shore of Onandaga Lake in central New York. The Skanonh Center is a living museum which celebrates the culture, history and contributions of multiple nations which found unity they share as the Haudenosaunee People.
The Center is a project of the Onandaga Historical Association. Executive Director Lisa Moore offers us an overview of the Haudenosaunee stories, and she provides details of what visitors can experience.
“The things we have a tendency to overlook take on a new level of importance. In Haudenosaunee tradition, being grateful and giving thanks is a regular practice in both everyday life and at special occasions. The Thanksgiving Address, or “The Words that Come Before All Else,” is delivered in Native Haudenosaunee languages at both the beginning and the end of social gatherings, celebrations, and council meetings; and it is recited each morning at the beginning of the school day.”
The Ska-nonh Center is open Wednesdays through Saturdays, and is located on the Onondaga Lake Parkway at Liverpool, northwest of Syracuse. Details and schedules are here.

This week’s Side Trip Suggestion:
The “Shoe House” in Yorklyn, PA.
“There was an old woman, who lived in….”
You probably already heard about that one, but elsewhere, an old businessman lived and worked in a retail-store shoe. “Colonel” Mahlon Haines became a millionaire selling shoes, but in the late 1940s at age 73, he decided to spend some of his money to build a 48-foot* shoe. He sold work boots for $1.98 there. The Shoe House became famous, as Haines offered the shoe as a free honeymoon suite (with a butler and maid) to any couple who got married in town. You can see the outside, but tours are no longer available — unless you arrange to be a paying customer. The Shoe House (in south central Pennsylvania) has become an expensive vacation rental home.
