Your New Scoop Site

Welcome to Scoop!

To help you figure things out, there is a Scoop Admin Guide which can hopefully answer most of your questions.

Some tips:

Most of the layout is changed in "Blocks", found in the admin tools menu
Features can be turned on and off, and configured, in "Site Controls" in the admin tools menu
Stories have an "edit" link right beside the "Full Story" link on an index page, and right beside the "Post a Comment" link on the full story page. They can also be edited by clicking the story title in the "Story List" admin tool
Boxes are what allow you to write new features for Scoop; they require a knowledge of the perl programming language to work with effectively, although you can often make small changes without knowing much perl. If you would like a feature added but cannot program it yourself, ScoopHost does custom Scoop programming as one of its services.
If you aren't sure where to look for a particular feature or piece of display, try the "Search Admin Tools" link in the admin tools menu.

A Question Of Rights

January 22nd, 1973, is the date that the infamous Roe v. Wade decision was handed down by the U. S. Supreme Court, which overrode at least three dozen state laws and numerous federal laws restricting medically-induced abortions, and ushered in a culture of death still prevalent in contemporary American culture. In response, in a January 13, 1984 proclamation, President Ronald Reagan designated January 22, 1984, as the first National Sanctity of Human Life Day. The date was specifically chosen to coincide with the 11th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. Since that time, the third Sunday of January -- which normally represents the closest Sunday to January 22nd -- is regularly observed throughout American Christianity as Sanctity of Human Life Sunday, often shortened to Life Observance Sunday (or simply "Life Sunday").

Following the break is the sermon delivered this morning by Rev. Steve Schamber, pastor at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Wyoming, Michigan (the church of which I am a member). I'm reposting it here because I think we all need the reminder.
