Today is ‘Random Act of Kindness’ day. A way to spread positivity by showing goodwill towards others. But don’t be thrown off by the word “random”, because acts of kindness can be very intentional, very biblical, and a perfect opportunity to live like Jesus. Showing generosity to others is also rooted in what it means to be a Christian.
Conservatives in Florida’s House of Representatives approved a ban on abortions after 15 weeks. Republicans in several state legislatures are moving to place new restrictions on abortion after the U.S. Supreme Court signaled it would uphold that Mississippi law prohibiting abortions after 15 weeks – and potentially overturning the landmark Roe v. Wade decision. A ruling in that case is expected later this year. https://www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/us/2022/february/florida-house-passes-gop-15-week-abortion-ban

This new headlight technology could make driving safer in the US. A-D-B or Adaptive driving beam headlights—also called smart headlights—shine as brightly as traditional lights with the high beams on, but they feature new technology that could make driving safer at night by illuminating more of the road without blinding the drivers of oncoming cars, according to a new study from AAA. ADB is already available in Europe and Canada but not yet in the US. BTW: Consumer Reports suggesting that ‘brighter isn’t necessarily better’, it’s the distance the lights cover that helps. The first step is to make sure your lights are aligned correctly — and that’s best done by a qualified mechanic. https://www.consumerreports.org/headlights/adaptive-driving-beam-adb-smart-headlights-could-make-roads-safer/
