Fighting for Red River Army Depot is fighting for all of us and our way of life in Northeast Texas

There are some things in life that are just a given. Things like the heat of a Texas summer, the joy of watching a child being baptized, and Blue Bell being the best ice cream on the planet. 05/28/2025 09:03 AM

Time is precious with friends

Time is precious with friends

The last time I saw Raven, a few years ago, my homeless friend walked along the side of the road. I’d swung my car around at the next bend, dodging traffic, and had hoped to visit him on the street. However, I missed the chance because, by the time I returned to that stretch of the road, he was gone. 05/28/2025 09:03 AM

Grumpy People

As I was preparing to write this article on how to deal with difficult people, I originally intended to entitle it “Grumpy Old Men” after one of my favorite movies from 1993. Then it hit me --- that’s not true. It’s not just men who can be grumpy, nor can it be just old men. If the truth be told, difficult “grumpy” people come in all ages, all sexes, shapes and sizes and they seem to be all around. So how do you deal with these difficult “grumpies”? 05/28/2025 09:02 AM

What comes after, ‘I do?’

What comes after, ‘I do?’

Marriage is more than a ceremony — it’s a union of families and finances. When you and your partner are honest with each other about money and financial goals, it can help build trust, leverage your strengths and help pave the way for a financial happily ever after. 05/21/2025 09:04 AM

Friends are cool At least they can be with our help

As we approach the end of May, the siren song of summer begins to blare. The daydreams of adults and children alike start to take a watery form. Whether it’s casually careening down a river, sitting in the shade with your feet in a lake, or splashing around at a brandnew splash pad, we Texans know the best way to beat the heat is to get water involved. 05/21/2025 09:03 AM

Vacation, when you’re ten years old, should be full of great memories. And often, our trips were fun, filled with picnics, and packed with adventures. 05/21/2025 09:03 AM

Give Peace a Chance, Live and Let Live What the world needs now is love sweet love

There has been many times in my 62 years when I felt the need to ask God why things were happening and state to the world...it ain’t fair. 05/14/2025 09:03 AM

Be alert for caregiver financial abuse

Be alert for caregiver financial abuse

Do you have a parent or other elderly relative who may soon need a caregiver? If so, be diligent when selecting the right person for the job — because choosing the wrong one could lead to big financial problems. 05/14/2025 09:03 AM

Grace on the Curb of Life

Grace on the Curb of Life

She was shuffling along, dragging a plastic bag that had been through too many rainstorms. A blanket—faded and frayed—hung off her shoulder like a burden she’d stopped trying to adjust. Her tennis shoes were the kind that had known years, not miles. And her face… well, wore the weight of regret like a second skin. 05/14/2025 09:02 AM
