America is on the verge of losing one of its last cash cows due to greed and a lack of respect for those who do all of the work; more specifically, I am talking about teachers and school system employees, which a plague in the name of a global pandemic, COVID 19 exposed. Finally, eyes are opened to those who should have been making higher, more competitive salaries, but unfortunately instead they have been pawns in a vicious game that makes no sense in a nation that education is a basic building block to living a productive fruitful life. In...
All suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty. Another individual has lost his life to violence, and the community continues to seek answers in hopes of stopping the violence. One always hopes that differences, no matter what they are, can be settled where all involved will live. Sometimes, it doesn't happen that way. And the question is always, why? A man has been arrested for a fatal shooting on Thelma St. in Richwood on Sunday, September 18, 2022. The victim was identified as...

Week 4 Sept. 23, 2022 #5 Carroll Bulldogs (2-0) Vs Sterlington Panthers (1-2) I can admit, heading into the season I had this game already pegged as game of the week for week 4 and although there's been a little luster taken away I'm still expecting it to be a thriller. Carroll comes in as a somewhat of a surprise, higher ranking than the panthers and 1st year Carroll Head Coach Brandon Landers isn't trying to look backwards. Carroll is 2-0 following a road win over 5A Southwood last Friday...

Be ye therefore perfect even as your Father in heaven is perfect. (Matt 5:48) Upheaval is all over the world. Son against father, daughter against mother, and vice versa. If you listen to the news, you will think that there isn't peace anywhere. The divorce rate in the church is as high as in the world. Men have left their desire for women, likewise women their desire for the man, they openly express their lustful attractions for each other. Women co-habit with each other; likewise do men, and there is no shame, because men love themselves...
The number of voters expected to go to the polls in November should be aware that their votes may not count. Or matter. There appears to be a concerted effort by Republican candidates running for office in the midterms, to openly declare that if they should happen to lose the races that they are in, they plan on not accepting the results. In other words, 2016 will be front and center in 2022 over some Republicans candidates not willing to accept defeat at the polls. There have not been moments in history where a candidate from either party...
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee……. We have heard the saying, “Ignorance is bliss”. Well, what is ignorance?
