The tremors were felt throughout the Midwest, including in Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Texas and Illinois. more >>

An Oklahoma Christian youth group is filing a lawsuit against the Owasso Public Schools system where it holds meetings because the school district is blocking its efforts to promote its club using the same method as other community groups.

Owasso district is prohibiting the "Kids for Christ" club at Northeast Elementary School from distributing fliers, making announcements and signs, and holding open house-type events to meet interested students.

The district does, however, allow groups such as the Boy Scouts and the YMCA (which stands for the Young Men's Christian Association) and businesses such as Baja Jacks Burrito Shack to promote their activities through such means. more >>

Following what much of the public considered a shocking not guilty verdict in the murder of Caylee Anthony, hundreds of thousands of Americans and at least one lawmaker are now pushing for "Caylee's Law."

Rep. Paul Wesselhoft (R-Okla.) said on Wednesday that he will introduce Caylee's Law, which would require parents to notify authorities of a missing or dead child in a timely manner.

While calling the actions of Casey Anthony, mother of 2-year-old Caylee, "reprehensible," Wesselhoft stated, "It is unconscionable for a parent to delay notifying the authorities of the death of their child. Most parents would immediately notify authorities if their child had gone missing," according to Reuters. more >>

LifeChurch.tv is over 15 years in the making but the tech-saavy leaders of the megachurch have no qualms about giving away their hard-earned innovations for free.

Ever heard of the YouVersion Bible app? LifeChurch created that. A team of developers at the church launched the app, which allows users use their smartphones as a digital Bible, in 2008 and to date have given away over 22 million downloads. LifeChurch pastor and innovation leader Bobby Gruenewald was even named one of Fast Company’s 100 Most Creative People in Business for his work in creating the app.

Craig Groeschel, lead pastor of LifeChurch, told congregants in a sermon earlier this year that he has received offers to monetize the smartphone app but turned them all down. As reported by The Christian Post, he explained that since the first Bible he received was handed out for free by a Gideons evangelist on his college campus, he wanted to pay that gesture forward. more >>

Both Ryan Hamil and his 15-month-old brother, Colt, were killed in Tuesday's storms.
