Fear he is a liar

Fear he is a liar

There is a song I really like right now called “Fear is a Liar.” I have no doubt that Zach Williams likely sang it at his concert locally last week. The song has a great message and it is one that is very relevant this week. The song has lyrics that say, “Fear, he is a liar, He will take your breath, Stop you in your steps, Fear he is a liar, He will rob your rest, Steal your happiness, Cast your fear in the fire, ‘Cause fear he is a liar.” 12/06/2023 10:00 AM

OP-ED No place for drug dealers and slum lords

OP-ED No place for drug dealers and slum lords

When landlords choose to rent their property to drug dealers in exchange for cash, they are making a short-term financial decision that has long-term negative consequences for the community. This practice not only damages the reputation of the neighborhood, but it also poses significant risks to the safety and well-being of residents. 11/29/2023 10:00 AM

The Texas Legislature, conceived as a part-time body to meet every other year for 140 days, is now in its record fifth session (counting the regular session). When the impeachment trial of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is included, legislators have been in Austin pretty much the entire year, as the Texas Tribune noted. While legislators are paid just $7,200 a year in salary, per diem payments – meant to cover their expenses while in Austin – have mounted. If the fourth special session goes a full 30 days, taxpayers will have spent $4.8 million keeping lawmakers in Austin. 11/15/2023 10:00 AM

Well, it looks like it might be time for a little scattershooting this week as there are just too many thoughts flying around the community and in my head to settle on just one. So here 11/15/2023 10:00 AM
