Galatians 6:7 Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. Scripture reading, choir singing, Bible teaching, collection plate passing, respect and order, were all the things I use to witness as a little girl going to fellowship. We couldn’t play and talk while God’s Word was going forward. We couldn’t do what we wanted to do in the House of God, and people think it was just fun. We couldn’t disrespect the House of God In any way. I loved it that way. No...
The honeymoon for Monroe mayor Friday Ellis is over, as the realities of life as a city mayor have long settled. The mayor promised “big things” for Monroe, as he said that it was time for Monroe to stop being a “Tale of Two Cities”. Now well into his second year as mayor, not much in the Charles Dickens’ novel hasn’t changed for many city residents, particularly those who live on the south end of town. There are those who are dissatisfied with the mayor’s performance in office, and he has heard it from some of those who take the opportunity t...

In just under a week, the family of Ronald Greene will have to face a grim reminder that justice for their loved one has not been met despite the mounting evidence points to an alleged coverup by law enforcement officials. If there was ever a reason to deny law enforcement officials implied immunity from prosecution, Greene’s death at the hands of LSP Troopers on May 10, 2019, is one such incident. It is three years and not one officer has been arrested, tried, convicted and sent to prison for their crimes, simply because the powers that be w...

A belief is having trust, faith, or confidence in something, an idea, or a thought. It is deemed as an acceptance that a statement or thing is true or actually exists. When we are asked what we believe in, the concept goes beyond our thoughts of if we believe a higher being exists. Our beliefs are our values and what makes us who we are. We were all given an individual mind for a reason. We were given our own brains to formulate our own thoughts about what we believe, creating insight and understanding based on what we believe. Our beliefs are...

Recently, it’s come to my attention and realization that life isn’t promised. Yes, we sometimes hear it, but I never truly let it sink in. Looking around, I’ve noticed how much my life has changed and how fast time moves. One minute, I’m watching the sunrise and complaining about how hot it is outside, and the next, I’m watching the sunset. I know you probably think this is irrelevant, but I’m getting there. One day feels like an hour, a month feels like a week, and a year feels like a mont...

All power and might is in your hand, and no one can withstand you.
