Letter to the editor: No need for speed bumps
No longer a need for speed bumps on our street as asked for a couple of years ago. The chug holes help a little, and you could tell the city of Dallas that their dog problem can be solved if they haul the biters to our street and let the DART riders run them down....
Letter to the editor: My two cents on development
Now, that we have a new mayor, let's all hope she can make some positive changes - especially when it comes to new development! When asked the question in the previous newsletter - "What can be done to encourage more of the population to take an interest in the...
Letter to the editor: Faith and Violence
We can ban guns, knives, clubs, and arrows, but we can't ban evil. The human heart is the problem, and human government is powerless to correct the deficiencies of mankind. Violence against one another says a lot about what we think about ourselves. It belittles the...

I was very disturbed by the news the other day that there will be no Garland Summer Track Club this summer (2017) due to undisclosed reasons. This is something unheard of for the past 50+ years. Not having the club will have a huge impact on well over 300 youths. This...

Television news programs present their audience with the impression that a major world war is constantly pending. Such stressful news has a way of drowning the human spirit in constant dread and despair. This article shares a Biblical perspective on the those holding...
Letter to the editor: Faith and the public domain
Early Christianity rose triumphantly without the need of government support. In fact, history shows that when the faith community utilized the arm of the law to enforce their values, it became a recipe for disaster. For example, “convert” or “face the sword,” was not...
