Carroll High School in Monroe, LA, has always been a beacon of hope in our community. Its academic, athletic, band, choir, and STEM legacy was established in 1953 by its first principal, the legendary Morris Henry Carroll, who demanded excellence from students who hadn't yet realized their greatness. The Carroll mystique was set long ago and remains in the hearts of those who witnessed its glory then and now. This is why we still sing praises to Carroll High School. One individual who...

Of course, we see how the world is becoming—cold, flavorless, and unsafe in so many ways. It's okay, though, because God is still God. He is still in control. He is still sovereign, and He is still faithful. In times like these, we must remember that no matter how dark it gets, we can still rejoice because we are the light. It's in the darkness that we shine best. No matter what or who loses its flavor, we don't, because we are the "salt" of the earth. No matter how cold it gets, God will h...

Hello everyone! This week, I will be discussing school preparation. Fortunately, it's that time of year, school time. It is when everyone gathers their school clothes, supplies, and hairstyles. This is my last year of high school, which I am excited and happy about, but also a bit nervous because once again it's my last year. But it is time for new beginnings and to cherish every last moment I'll have while in high school, but mainly this is when everyone sets their goals for the school year....

We've read in the Bible about the last days, with talk and actuality of wars. We hear the latest news of nations rising against nations—Israel, Russia, Palestine, and more—but are we aware of the spiritual war happening right in our own homes and communities? The family structure of father, mother, children, and village is at war with the dark forces of this world and with one another. The troubling thing is that not many are serious, concerned, or bold enough to push back the darkness. The...

Many times, we hear about things happening so much, until we just ignore warnings after a while. Sometimes, it looks as if those warning us, are just paranoid or talking nonsense. Well let me inform you that this is not one of those messages you should think that way about. There is a lot going on all over the world, and it's getting darker by the day. Soon, what we have heard was coming, will be upon many. Are you prepared? If there were a blackout, outages, bank closures, an attack on the...
Have you ever tried cutting something with dull scissors? Or try cutting thick meat like steak with a butter knife? Despite all of the tugging or manipulation one may try, the wrong knife or scissors aren’t a bit of good. As a young girl, I would often spend the summers with my grandmother Rosie, who is a master cook. When her knives were dull, she would dig to find what looked to me like a giant needle. She would hold the handle of the “needle” and slide the knife up along the metal until she knew it was sharp enough. I couldn’t underst...

The arts hold significant importance for girls, just as they do for people of all genders. Engaging in artistic pursuits can have a range of positive effects on girls' personal, emotional, social, and cognitive development. Dance is my favorite performing art because it combines art and movement. Enrolling a daughter in dance classes can offer numerous benefits to her overall development and well-being. Dance is a highly physical activity that involves various movements, coordination, strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular endurance....

When I was a little girl, my dad and mom taught me many things. They taught me manners, proper hygiene, how to save money, how to defend myself and more. Above all things though, my dad taught me to always pray. Of course, I didn't know the invisible being I was speaking to, but my dad knew that in time, the more I prayed, the more I'd grow to know the God that created me. I certainly did. Later on in life, I had two girls, and I taught them to pray. Above all things that I've taught them,...

There is HEALING IN THE NAME OF JESUS! Oh HALLELUJAH! We do not have because we do not ask! And when we ask, we ask amiss. Beloved let your petitions to Heaven line up with God’s word. And His word will not return to Him void. It will accomplish what He sent it out to do. His word Cannot Lie!!! Ask a...
Most of us have heard the saying, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." As much as many would like this to be true, the truth is, words do hurt. Words have destroyed friendships and marriages. Words have separated families. Words have gotten people fired from jobs. Words have caused fights. Words have even caused wars and ultimately, destruction. Some people have lost their lives because of words. The Bible itself is known as the Word. It speaks of how powerful...
Education has always been valuable to those who attain it, often determining whether their lives will be fruitful or agonized. The path to success is challenging, filled with pain, disappointments, and trials. Parents and educators play a crucial role in shaping students' lives. One such educator, Ms. Maxine Tatum, helped students rise and achieve their highest potential. She provided them with real-world opportunities, and many rose to the challenge. Reflecting on her contributions, Ms. Maxine...

Hello Everyone! This week I will be discussing Learning new things. Recently, I've been to a camp and I've learned many things. The experience has been interesting. Trying things outside of your comfort zone may be nerve-wracking at first as it was for me, but once you break the ice you start feeling comfortable. If you stick to being in your comfortable ways, then how will you be able to make new experiences? I've been enjoying my time at camp and it has made me take deep consideration into my...

Welcome to being an adult 18, and now the challenges become difficult. With God there is nothing impossible while difficulties with your faith will be tested. There will be failures/successes which you will keep charging forward or settle for the easy way out, your choice. It's easy to be told what to do, or charting your own course...
After spending time with God and doing a little self-reflection, I have been guided in truthful places in my life. I have gone to God, in search of answers that I felt only He could properly give me. I have asked Him why so many (including myself in the past), weren't living a life of true freedom and prosperity in Him. I asked Him what was holding back and hindering some of His people. The answer was simple: God's people don't follow His instructions. It was a wow moment for me, but yet so...

We always seek to eat fresh things. When we reach for an apple at the grocery store, we always feel around to make sure we grab one that isn’t bruised or spoiled. Processed foods, including canned foods, crackers, juices, cured meats, and breads also come with “use-by” dates stamped on them. Most foods either mold or taste horrible if you try to eat them after the expiration date. Not only do expired goods taste awful, but they can also make us extremely ill. On the other hand, some foods will keep well if they are preserved or kept frozen, but...
I was worshipping God on our drive, and I looked over at some trees. Some were damaged by a storm; some were still standing. The Father began to speak to my heart. He said that as these trees are, so will man be. There is a mighty shaking coming, and EVERYTHING rooted IN HIM will remain, BUT anything not rooted in HIM will be uprooted and broken. There are trees that stood right next to each other, UNTIL the storm came. They all appeared to be standing strong, UNTIL the wind blew. Those trees...
