ALTON - On the most recent episode of “You’re Beautiful” with Brian Trust, guest Stacy Roach talked about trusting God through difficult times. Roach understands the instinct to question God when you’re struggling. But she encourages people to trust in His decisions. It can be difficult to understand the reasons behind a challenging situation, but she believes that God always has a reason. “Sometimes you question God, but there’s not really a reason to question Him. Sometimes you just got to keep thinking and praying and keep focusing on it,” she said. “Don’t ever question Him. Sometimes it’s not what you think it is with Him. Just keep praying, keep focusing, and just keep giving all praise to Him and talking to Him about what’s going on. He’ll make it all work out when it’s supposed to work out.” Roach shared that she lost her grandmother a year ago, and it was a challenge for her family.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Rep. Mike Bost (IL-12) today introduced the Upending Secret Postal Shutdowns (USPS) Act to prohibit the U.S. Postal Service from shutting down a post office under the guise of an "emergency suspension" without first notifying impacted communities and providing a full justification for the closure. Under current law, postal operations can be suspended due to emergencies ranging from staffing shortages to natural disasters, with a loose expectation that service be restored within 280 days. Bost’s bill would set strict periodic deadlines for public notifications, require community input, and mandate annual reports to Congress on long-term postal shutdowns. “Communities rely on the Postal Service for the timely delivery of letters, prescriptions, bills, and other mail,” said Bost. “When a post office closes, especially in a rural area, it hurts the people who depend on it most. My legislation will help clear up the confusion
