BIDEN BRINGS BREATH OF FRESH AIR Thank God the days of Trump are coming to an end. What we have known all along is that it wouldn’t be a normal departure. During the next 70 days you can’t start to imagine how dysfunctional and abnormal this disorderly transition will be. One thing Donald Trump wants all of us to believe about the transfer of power is that he did not lose this election, it was stolen from him. That’s it period. It’s the lie he will promote for as long as he l...

FOUR YEAR NIGHTMARE It was four years ago that I wrote if Trump was elected he would destroy the GOP as we know it. I pointed to how he wasn't a conservative. No record exist that he ever voted Republican. He conned the American people into believing he was New York's greatest businessman, the best deal maker and builder. It was lies then and its lies now. He was sued over 4,000 times, had to file bankruptcy six times. As for being the greatest builder, all you have to do is...
USA TODAY EDITORIAL BOARD: ELECT JOE BIDEN - REJECT DONALD TRUMP The USA TODAY Editorial Board has never endorsed a candidate for president. Until now. 'This is not a normal election, and these are not normal times.' In its 38 years of existence, the Editorial Board has never endorsed a candidate for president. The nonpartisan board hasn't recommended a nominee. Until now. "We don't do this eagerly," said editorial page editor Bill Sternberg. "We hope we don't have to do it...

Living with depression isn’t something that comes easy no matter how severe it is or becomes. You wake up and immediately think about how you can’t wait to get back into bed to go bac...
IT DIDN'T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY It's just outrageous what is happening to our country. What started with just one case of coronavirus has led to a recession and a sick nation. Life at every turn is a far cry from what we enjoyed as normal. We are four percent of the world's population and yet because of ill prepared leadership we own 20 percent of all COVID-19 cases and world deaths despite many deaths in the United States being undercounted. In Texas, a Houston Chronicle...
BIDEN WINS CHAOTIC DEBATE It wasn't unexpected it's been chaotic for the entire Trump term. Trump was everything but presidential. It wasn't a slam dunk by Biden but he definitely won the debate. Trump, to me, proved that he doesn't believe he will be re-elected. I'm two hours past deadline so I can't comment any further but the fact checkers across the board say Biden won the debate. As for me, Trump's performance was embarrassing. He blew the election for sure. He can't...

One's mind can't imagine the marvels of the future or the dangers that lie ahead... Sometimes I yearn for days long past, when the pace was slower, people more compassionate and murder was seldom heard of. No one tried to keep up with the Jones's, because the Jones's didn't have anything either. We were too poor to pay attention to the fact that we were poor. Days came and days went: we didn't complain. We welcomed the new day and got on our knees and gave thanks at day's...

Schools are put on hold causing a problem in the schedule for sports and testing. People today still do not have power, running water, or a home. It is important for all of us to unite and help those who need it. Lake Charles was hit the hardest in hurricane Laura. A large majority of people do not have homes. Places such as the grocery...
Matt. 7:24-27 "Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: 27 And the rain descended, and the...

Hello Everyone, I hope this week finds you better than last week. This has been an extremely hard week for me. One of my dearest and most favorite person on earth suddenly went to be with the Lord. Lester Daigle was like a son to me. I watched him grow up from a boy to a fine man. He was an advocate for all who were considered the " underdog", especially kids. He was a good Christian and knew what God needed him to do in life. He will be remembered for many different things, but the memory embedded in my heart is his...
IT DIDN'T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY As I sit here in home lock up after three months I'm tired of not being free. Like many of you I yearn for a normal life again. It seems so long ago when the first case of coronavirus was discovered in Seattle back in January. Think about that. Since then over 6 million cases of Covid-19 has been confirmed and still climbing. Over 167,000 citizens have died. That number projected to surpass a quarter million people will die. Unlike other...
