TxDOT: Speeding kills. Slow down and save lives

TxDOT: Speeding kills. Slow down and save lives

The telltale red-and-blue lights in a driver’s rearview mirror can inspire shame and guilt. But those feelings don’t come close to the guilt speeding drivers feel after killing or injuring someone - or the pain a family feels when someone dies in a crash. 07/31/2024 09:02 AM

Cast your bread on the water, make ripples

Cast your bread on the water, make ripples

One day a man was walking along the beach when he noticed a boy picking something up and gently throwing it into the ocean. Approaching the boy, he asked, “What are you doing?” The youth replied, “Throwing starfish back into the ocean. The surf is up and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them back, they’ll die.” “Son,” the man said, “don’t you realize there are miles and miles of beach and hundreds of starfish? You can’t make a difference!” 07/31/2024 09:02 AM

God has you on His mind

God has you on His mind

I met a few homeless friends on one corner of a street, and one of them told me how his favorite verse became Psalm 30:5, especially after he’d done something terrible a few years ago. He recited it: “For his anger lasts only a mo- Pam Kumpe ment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning. ” 07/31/2024 09:01 AM

A huge pot of federal rail funding and chronic highway congestion are prompting some Texas officials to again consider expanding passenger rail in Texas, according to The Texas Standard. Congress set aside $66 billion three years ago in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act for rail projects across the country, sparking some interest in increasing passenger rail service between the state’s major cities. “It’s like the perfect storm forming, because 20 years ago if we talked about passenger rail in Texas, it would fall on deaf ears,” said Peter LeCody of the Texas Rail Advocates. The state’s population is projected to increase from 30 million now to 47 million by 2050, sparking concerns of increased dependence on cars and more road congestion. A plan to build a highspeed rail between Dallas and Houston with speeds of more than 200 miles per hour is back on the drawing board after Amtrak shelved it due to difficulty acquiring land and leadership issues, The Tribune reported. 07/31/2024 09:00 AM
