Disclaimer: All persons are innocent until proven guilty. Life is a precious commodity and should never be taken for granted. The Bible lists "thy shall not kill" in the Ten Commandments. To shoot or kill a human is against the law unless it is in self-defense which must be proven in a court of law. The implication for gun violence is severe, with stiff prison consequences. Think a million times before you shoot, as living changes drastically when one is placed behind jail bars. According to police reports, a shooting occurred on Renwick St....
Friday, December 9, 2022, was a good day for hundreds of citizens in Monroe. One of those citizens was Augie Bosley. Bosley was at Monroe City court, Division A, to take advantage of the one-day set aside for those who wanted to clear up legal issues to avoid further action by authorities. On Amnesty Day, a citizen can call to see if they are eligible for forgiveness for things like traffic violations or missed court dates. Those with violent crimes are most often excluded from receiving amnesty. In announcing Amnesty 2022, all persons with...
Disclaimer: All persons are innocent until proven guilty. Is there any community safe from the wrath of gun violence in Monroe, LA?

According to police reports on Friday, December 2, 2022 multiple shots were heard and fired in the Garden District around Park Ave. and Maple St., where two people were shot. The two victims...
Disclaimer: All persons are innocent until proven guilty. John Badger is on a quest to clear some legal issues in Ouachita Parish, only to be pushed back at every turn. Badger says that he has been wrongly accused and charged on several legal issues and simply wants to have a fair day in court without being railroaded out of it. The issues he is confronted with include what he alleges is an illegal eviction and charges against him; he contends that he just wants to prove his innocence, but he...
The tragic school shooting in Uvalde, TX will stay in people’s memories for a long time, as the one at Sandy Hook Elementary will not go away. Nor should they. People are still asking how, in an advanced nation like America could, school shooting after school shooting happen, and next to nothing is done. Those types of shootings also happen at high schools, which presents a greater danger because high school students are thought to be more mature than their elementary counterparts as life-changing decisions begin to come into focus. Let’s not...

We have heard so much in the last year or so about how “being woke” is detrimental to the nation, as it is being used to divide people. You hear that kind of rhetoric from those who really don’t want to address the ills of the nation unless it is from their point of view. You hear from many conservatives how being “woke” turning the races against each other, trying to make one “guilty” for the sins of others in another time. It is a politically charged word that is used often in right wing media and by conservative leaders to label them as...
Philippians 2:4 4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. Leadership is more than just being in charge. It’s also being responsible, accountable, reliable, relatable and an integral part of a team. I once read that leadership is sacrifice, not privilege. I agree! It’s about truly serving others. These traits are fruit of Godliness. True leaders follow/are led by God. They are visionaries and strategist. There must be effective plans and strategies in pla...
Northeast LA Delta African American Museum Board Members, as my term comes to a close, I have reflected much on the museum's accomplishments since 2020.

As your outgoing president, I want to thank you fo...

In these last days men are saying that we don't have to obey the law or the Prophets because we are under grace. We are still required to obey and keep the ten commandments that were given to Moses on Mt. Sinai (Exodus 20:1 17). In Christ Jesus’s death, burial and resurrection, we received power over the flesh to keep the commandments (Acts 1:8). The commandments left from tables of stones and took root in the hearts of those believers in Christ (Mark 12:29). In Matthew (5:17-19) Jesus stated that he did not come to destroy the law or the P...
It seems like just yesterday we were eating Thanksgiving food and now with a blink of the eye, Christmas approaching. Now that the year is ending, I felt like it was relevant to write about the season. This year, I think the main goal that life has taught us all is to be thankful and find joy in the small things. This year has taught me many things about life that I wasn’t prepared to know. Personally speaking, I’m proud of the things that this year has put me through because of how I’ve overc...

As Christmas approaches, I often think about Jesus' mother, Mary, and all she had to endure to bring Him into this world. She was first visited by the angel Gabriel who told her her fate. She then had to share the news with her husband and endure scrutiny from her community for what they perceived happened. Instead of having the comfort she deserved, she gave birth in a manger, and she, Joseph, and Jesus lived a regular, humble life. Despite all she inherited, she didn't waiver in her faith, teaching her husband and community how to trust in...

Former MPD Jared Desadier will spend the next 78 months behind bars for his assault on an surrendered Timothy Williams following a chase that led to his arrest. Williams had been surrounded by other officers when Desadier, for reasons that still needs an explanation, asked a fellow officer if his bodycam was on. The...
