Of the 119 cars, 28 went off the tracks. The crossing is still closed. It happened right next to the Central Valley Ag Co-op, in Waco at 202 Midland. The Co-op was not struck. The cause of the accident is still under investigation. BNSF, which operates the train, says it will take a few days to clean up the mess. http://www.1011now.com/home/headlines/Train-Derails-Near-Waco-Neb-279703982.html Waco is generally considered to be one of the quietest, safest places you could find. Even quiet Waco can occasionally make the news as you see in the local newspaper article above. Thankfully, other than possibly being awakened, all of the residents in Waco were safe. We, of course, are concerned with our students’ safety here at Nebraska Lutheran. We have cameras at every door, a locked- down campus, and take precautions daily to enforce a safe environment. The students’ physical safety is just one small part of our concern, we are also working to keep them emotionally safe as they experience the ups and downs of their teen years. Having Christian parents, friends, and teachers to counsel them through these rough times is so important. Our biggest concern, however, is their spiritual safety. The devil is fighting for their souls every day. Temptation after temptation come flying at them. Unfortunately, sometimes those temptations catch and sin occurs. The law shows that sin plainly to them and guilt is often the result. Thankfully, we get to tell them about the forgiveness that was won for them through Jesus Christ. This forgiveness is complete and is for everyone. The devil can’t win against this news, they are safe. As adults, we also face wave after wave of temptation and find ourselves sinning daily. We are saved through Jesus Christ! How wonderful that news is for us to hear. We join with David in the words of Psalm 27:1 “The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall be afraid?”
