It appears every Bible starts with the same information: "in the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth." That shows a miraculous power of God no person can understand. God would have had to be before the beginning to do that, and there are teachings in the Bible stating God will be after the ending.

In 2010 it was estimated that there is 79 million baby boomers in the United States. Anyone born between 1946 and 1964 is considered a "boomer".

You know you’re not supposed to be here...according to Harold Camping. Camping predicted the world would come to an end on Saturday May 21st. Since we are still alive, his prediction was false. For years men have tried to determine the date that Jesus would return to this earth and none have ever been successful, although they are capable of amassing a following. Although Camping was not able to predict the date that Jesus would come, (it has been extended to October), there ar ...

Most problems could be avoided if people were willing to say two things: ‘I was wrong’ and ‘I’m sorry.’" That seems an utterly simple thing to do, but many people struggle with it. Why? Some apparently feel they have done nothing wrong, despite evidence to the contrary. Others are quick to rationalize their actions, choosing the path of self-justification rather than the path of humility. Jesus says in the Lord’s Prayer: Matthew 6:12: "

The Price’s had to attend an all day workshop in Belton Friday and there was no time to get the news in. Hope everyone has a safe Memorial Day. All the news will be in next weeks paper.

By the time you get your paper I will be wandering around Frankfurt. I can tell you in advance I will be very tired, because by then I will have been up about 40 hours. Scott is making sure we don’t suffer from too much jet lag, so he is going to take us to a local castle, and we will tromp around and absorb a little German history.

Another Memorial Day has come and gone, with remembrances of those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our great nation. The next opportunity to remember the fallen will be during the holidays.

Dear Editor: The elections are over and so should be the finger pointing, name calling and blame throwing. However, it seems that isn't the case. Yes, the bonds failed and the liquor passed. That was pretty much a given. The San Saba bond was in reality in anticipation of Richland Springs ISD closing, and that is understandable.

I was more interested in what was orchestrated in front of me last night than the sounds emanating from the stage. The Texas wind whipped cowboy hats and well coiffed hair like ranchers trying to wrangle cows into corrals...all this way and that. Iced filled coolers bounced along cement as arms struggled with folding chairs, excited hands of young children already dancing to their own tunes and koozies wrapped tightly around well chilled cans, all the time searching the crowd for a perfect s ...

This subject has been on my heart to share. So many folks come out from the city to the country in order to "do whatever they want to without restrictions". Most people are aware of their neighbors and don’t trespass onto their neighbors property. However, some are trespassing on their neighbors in a very serious way.

Research on parents’ role in underage drinking has been limited. A survey of 6,245 U.S. teens, published in the Journal of Adolescent Health in 2004, found that adults play a very important role in teen drinking—but in different ways. Teens who attended a party where alcohol was supplied by a parent were twice as likely to have engaged in binge drinking and twice as likely to be regular drinkers.
