Being Black has many unique challenges. The odds have always been stacked against Blacks since the beginning with slavery. Fast forward to 2020, and some Blacks are still in bondage mentally, physically, and emotionally. While the majority of Blacks are just one disaster away from ruins, when factoring a major fatality in the equation, the plight of some is often worse. One area man will now have to face a justice system with his family left to face the consequences as another family is forced...

There were concerns from parents not just from Louisiana, but all across the nation as fall began which usually signals the start of school,...

It's difficult to enter the Strait Gate, and Narrow is the way which leads to life, very few there be that find it. Wide is the Gate, Broad is the way, that leads to destruction [hell] and many there be that goes in there. Any and everything goes...
It is written that if you have 100 sheep and 1 of them go astray, you should leave the 99 that are still in the fold and seek to find the 1 that is lost. This is a fundamental teaching of Jesus that those who claim to follow Him seem to have forgotten. I was inspired to write this poem as a reminder to us of our duty to those who are lost. My prayer is that we would honestly examine our practices to see how they measure up with the teachings of Jesus and find the strength to make the adjustments that will bring us more in line with the message...

The Constitution is crystal clear that in January 2021, the newly president elect shall assume the powers of the presidency at noon on that day and whoever is elected shall begin his/her four year reign. That peaceful transfer of power has served the nation well since George Washington’s last day in office as president up until President Bar...

WEEK 1 Oct 1, 2020 Game of The Week #6 Bastrop Rams (0-0) @ Carroll Bulldogs (0-0) It’s been a long time, but we finally have football in northeast Louisiana.
