On May 30, 2023, Monroe police arrested the individual that the victim alleges tried to rape her. It all started back on February 23, 2023, when the victim was at the DeSiard...
Members of the Louisiana House of Representatives are quietly making things safer for Louisiana residents. Are there safer regulations when it comes to health? How about bringing down the high automobile insurance rates and enacting stricter alcohol-related injury laws? No; but if the average citizen wanted to purchase a firearm, the House just made it easier to walk around with one. The House, through legislation, last week passed HB 131, which would allow the possession of firearms without any required training or permits necessary. Why,...

When we stand alone, it's not something we want to do. Standing alone means leaving behind things and people that we love or care for dearly. What we don't see are the intentions of those people or what they truly mean to us. People are placed in our lives for a reason and a season whether it be temporary or forever. When we stand alone though, it's something that needs to be done. For some of us, standing alone calls for just being alone and figuring out who you are by yourself. However, for...

Much of African-American culture is rooted in southern traditions and flair that were developed in the late 1800s and 1900s in the deep south during and after slavery. Of the many things created during that time, I have always had a fascination with Juke Joints. Aside from churches, Juke Joints served as another meeting place for African-Americans to gather and shake off the restrictions life presented. Most of all, Juke Joints birthed talent and opportunity for many. The Juke Joint represents the vitality of Blackness. It reflects true...
So we have a deal. At least in principle. After what seems like an eternity, every time the issue of what is to be done concerning the nation’s debt ceiling grabs the attention, a deal gets done. That’s the word from the White House and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, as both entities seemed to have played a game of chicken, taking the deadline down to the wire. Perhaps what angers the majority of voters is why it takes Democrats and particularly Republicans to want to take hardline stances, the old my-way-or-the-highway attitude every time the d...

We've discussed the story of Jonah many times. Mostly, Believers speak of Jonah's disobedience leading him in the mouth of the big fish, but few speak on what his disobedience caused others. Jonah disobeyed God, and boarded the ship of others, trying to run away from what God asked of him. He went down into the ship and fell asleep. Meanwhile, the Lord sent a great wind and that ship was being affected by that storm greatly. It was getting pounded so much that it was almost broken. The storm...
Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it (Proverb 22:6). An old song goes "We need the Lord just to guide us every day, as we travel along this tedious way. We need him to teach us how to raise our children to respect him as God; respect us as parents. Raise them to honor God; praise, worship and love Him and their parents forever. Parents must be examples of how children should live in the Spirit and the natural life. In the spirit we must love God with All our heart, soul, strength, and might,...
