Christmas Blessings

Christmas Blessings

his past Christmas, Mrs. Crawford, a Pre-K 4 teacher at New Boston Elementary School, was inspired to reach out to her community in an effort to coordinate a collection drive to assemble blessing bags for homeless individuals, partnering with her church community, family, friends, and even some parents of her students. Her collective efforts resulted in the delivery of fifty bags to the Randy Sam’s Homeless Shelter in Texarkana. Moreover, her daughter and her husband will be distributing additional bags to homeless individuals in Little Rock, Arkansas. Each bag contained a thoughtful selection of items, including a hat, scarf, gloves, hot hands (hand warmers), chapstick, slim Jim beef jerky, an inspirational message, and peppermint candy. 01/15/2025 10:03 AM

Windy, wonderful street friend

Windy, wonderful street friend

The cold bit at my face as I walked the streets, the 39-degree wind cutting through my layers like it had a personal grudge. But as I passed a man sitting quietly on the curb, I forgot my own discomfort. He wore a smile so pure and inviting it outshone the chill in the air— though his smile revealed something else: he had no teeth. 01/15/2025 10:02 AM

What Wikipedia Can’t Tell You

What Wikipedia Can’t Tell You

It seems no matter how old I am I always remember certain things from my childhood. Most pertain to what my father and mother told me. What I heard a lot was “mind your tongue, young lady!” I admit, I was stubborn and wanted my own way most of the time (well, actually, all of the time). When I would sound off, I was in trouble. I didn’t learn my lesson about controlling my tongue until much later in life. It was after I observed what a powerful weapon the tongue can be. It’s a double-edged sword, capable of tearing a person apart or building a person up. 01/15/2025 10:02 AM
