Disclaimer: All persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty. Children in the company of some adults when left alone with them, can be a formula for heartbreak. This is true whether they are in the company or left alone with a member of the family or in the presence of a "family friend" with whom a female may be acquainted. A sexual assault of some kind will likely occur more than people would like to think. According to the Ouachita Parish Sheriff's Office, on August 31, 2024, deputies...

But comparing Louisiana students' current academic performance to pre-pandemic levels is very difficult because the state fails to provide crucial data. That’s according to a new report by the Center on Reinventing Public Education. The Times-Picayune | Baton Rouge Advocate’s Elyse Carmosino explains why the nonpartisan education group gave Louisiana an ‘F’ for its online school report card: On Louisiana’s school report card website, [Morgan]...
It has been two weeks since members of the Monroe City Council, by a 3-2 vote, rejected Mayor Friday Ellis's nomination of Pastor Ike Byrd as Director of Community Affairs.

Fatherhood is a daily responsibility, not limited to just one day in June. The importance of real fathers and their role in families is undeniable. Those in power, who have historically dismantled the father figure from the family unit, understood the detrimental effects it could have. While many have suffered from the absence of fathers, there are those who have stepped up to ensure their children are aware of their fathers' presence and significance. One such example is Wesley Harris, a...

The story of Hannah, in the Bible, was always an amazing one to me. It shows how attentive and loving God is. It also shows how He'll come through for us, even in the most seemingly impossible situations. Hannah was provoked by Penninah (the other woman), because her womb was shut up. The thing is, the same God who shuts, opens as well. Hannah turned to the true and living God. God turned her barreness into fruitfulness. She praised God afterwards, because God did it for her. You may find...

In my work as a dance teacher, I often find myself counseling and guiding my dancers through various challenges they face, especially when it comes to friendships. Friendships are an integral part of our lives, providing support, joy, and companionship, but it can be incredibly painful when those friendships go wrong. Watching my students struggle with the emotional turmoil of a friendship that has gone bad is difficult, but I know it is an unavoidable part of life. When someone you trust and care for like a friend hurts you the pain can feel...
