A story of three gifts - Part 1
A story of three gifts - Part 1
One Sunday I shared a story with my congregation about my mom’s first car. It had to do with the lesson on expectations. Sometimes we find ourselves expecting the wrong things or putting our expectations towards the things that will ultimately disappoint us. I wanted to tell the sermon story again, but this time with my MOM’s corrections to the tale. I hope you enjoy it. 12/12/2024 08:55 PM

Phelan drops bid for House speaker; no clear winner yet
House Speaker Dade Phelan withdrew last week from seeking another term leading that chamber. After three rounds of voting on Saturday, state Rep. David Cook, R-Mansfield emerged as the preference of most House Republicans. However, his opponent, state Rep. Dustin Burrows, R-Lubbock, claims to have enough support from both Republicans and Democrats to clear the 76-vote threshold. 12/12/2024 08:55 PM

Who is the sucker?
Who is the sucker?
I read a story recently about a lady school teacher in Yazoo City, Miss., in the impoverished Delta country that is teaching unprivileged kids and there is not enough money to even pay her a salary. Yet kids that would fall through the crack of life are staying in school and making plans for the future. When asked about financial strain she faces, she uttered a phrase that applies to all of us: “What I don’t get in this life, I will get in the next.” 12/12/2024 08:55 PM

Trump following ‘the law?’ Incoming President Donald Trump is facing a problem that nobody could have ever imagined … unless they’ve listened to Donald Trump and his supporters these last ten years. Seems Trump is expecting everyone to follow “THE LAW.” He wants people nationwide to do exactly as he says, when, for example, it comes to how he wants to pursue “illegals.” It gets a little murky when an “immigrant” is instead someone who has applied for asylum status, because asylum procedures are ALSO “the law.” “The law” comes into play when discussing things like “state’s rights,” and whether a locality is bound to aid the Federal Government in its every so-called “law enforcement” effort. 12/12/2024 08:55 PM
