Disclaimer: All persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty. In today's time, the old saying, "Shoppers beware" carries so much weight when one thinks about their personal safety. Often, there is so much on one's mind about what to buy that we can easily forget that something dangerous can happen in the next moment. That warning on being aware should be about being prepared for anything that could happen next. A recent shooting at a local Walmart must have had shoppers on edge, as Monroe...

Disclaimer: All persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty. Back in the old days, if a guy wanted to see that special someone, he usually went by the young lady’s home. If she wasn’t living at home, he went by her apartment. Nowadays, with dating apps on the scene, it is “pick and choose”. What was once a fad has now turned into something for those who perhaps want something different, with maybe a little adventure thrown in for good measure, but sometimes, things can go horribly wrong. A local man is under arrest facing a serious...

President Joe Biden must be an even bigger threat to Republican presidential contenders than conservatives are letting on, as the latest strategy seems to anoint killers as heroes. Remember when Kyle Rittenhouse killed two people during a Black Lives Matter protest against police brutality? Notice how right-wing media and leading conservative voices came out in support of Rittenhouse calling him a “hero” for killing two people while carrying a weapon in the middle of a protest? Rittenhouse was portrayed as the “victim” even though he was arm...

Come To Jesus Right Now! We must all appear before the judgement seat of Christ, that everyone may receive the things done in the body, according to what he/she has done, whether good or bad. Therefore we persuade men/women to repent from the works of the flesh (Gal.5:19-21). In the beginning God gave Adam one command, do not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. God does not tolerate sin. Sin separates us from God. Lying, stealing, killing, disobedience to parents, adultery, fornication, etc. must be relented of. Homosexuality...

We talk about the palace in the story of Joseph, but not enough about how the “pit” can be the stop before the transportation, to the destination. Joseph’s brothers threw him in a pit and left him there. They went off, and after conversation and deliberation, one brother (Reuben) came back, but Joseph was no longer there. He had to t...
