A weekend shooting at the Richwood Bingo Hall Parking Lot on Saturday, May 13, 2023, has some residents wondering what Mayor Gerald Brown and the town’s board plan to do to address the issue. A lot of questions are also being asked by nightclub owners who have seen their hours of operation severely curtailed after an ordinance was passed several weeks ago. Richwood club owners do not favor the ordinance because of the manner in which the votes were secured and deem the process improperly done under state meeting laws. Now that there has been a...

Republicans in the House of the Louisiana Legislature, passed a bill that, if it became law, would make records of juveniles accused and convicted of crimes public.

Juvenile records had always been shielded from the public but now Republicans are saying that this legislation is needed in the name of “public safety”, which does not pass the smell test when a test pilot program would be cond...

This past week, I had my Junior class ring ceremony to be officially inducted as a Senior of Franklin Parish High School. As one the gifts I received, I got flowers from my dad and I forgot to leave them in my house and put water on them so they could grow. Well, I went over to my friend’s house for most of the day and by the time I made it home, my flowers looked as if they were dead. Now, the environment they were originally in was hot, brittle, dull, and hurtful. However, when I took the time...

While attending this year's Wossman High School graduation, I met many new graduates and congratulated them on accomplishing such a tremendous milestone. I always ask what's next out of curiosity, and it was no surprise that many were still determining their plans post-high school. Many graduates appear to be mature, but the reality is they are still naive to what life truly requires. They still need guidance to navigate life, and society can't expect students who are coming of age to have it...
Psalm 105:1-19 Until the time when his word came to pass, the word of the Lord tried him. When discussing the Bible, one can't help but speak about the story of Joseph. It was horrible to be thrown in a pit by his own flesh and blood, but he survived. Then, he was sold into slavery. Then, after arriving to his destination, he was falsely accused & imprisoned (talk about a bad hand). I'm sure he had more than his share of conversations with God. It looked bad, but again, he survived. The pit was...
Roman.8:1, Says There Is Therefore Now No Condemnation to Them Which Are In Christ Jesus, who walked not after the flesh, but after the spirit, what Christ did on this earth for us. Is the love of God commended to you because Jesus was recommended to give his life for us, and as we continue to believe and grow in Him, condemnation = fear, and doubt, shame, guilt, God did not give us that kind of spirit. God has us, the spirit of love, power, and sound mind. We have the mind of Christ. We have been redeemed. We have the Holy Spirt living In us....
Declaring that he is “ready” for another one, presidential contender Donald Trump, in the words of the hood, came out “like a fat rat” while appearing on CNN last week. Many thought that Trump was making a big costly mistake appearing on the network, but to Trump with the setup in place with friendly faces in the audience, Trump felt right at home. It didn’t matter who the moderator was at CNN asking the questions, as Trump in his usual style, did things his way. And what did you expect? By now, we(I do)should know that when Trump has the s...
