The Howe Bulldogs (8-8, 3-6) have found themselves behind the eight ball after sitting pretty a week ago for Howe’s first basketball playoff berth since the 20172018 season. But three losses during the week including a heartbreaker to district-leading Bells on Friday night was placed the Dogs in a desperate situation of needing to win both games on the road this week. They also need Pottsboro to beat Whitewright on Tuesday to set up a playoff play-in game with Whitewright on

We’ve all been told that there’s no evidence of election fraud in the November 2020 federal election and all the cases have been lost or dismissed. Actually, that is not true at all. The US Supreme Court has scheduled the Pennsylvania election case, Sidney Powell’s Michigan election case, and Lin Wood’s Georgia election case for its February 19 conference. A complete list of the lawsuits with results and updates are here. ***** The 15 days to slow the spread has apparently turned into the rest of our lives. ***** TIME Magazine released a story boasting about a 'shadow campaign' that 'saved' 2020 election: 'They were fortifying it' ***** My Pillow guy Mike Lindell released a video entitled “Absolute Proof” revealing election fraud.

Howe Fire Department train with breathing machines Volunteers with the Howe Fire Department were trained with the proper wearing of Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA). The SCBA is the most important piece of equipment first responders will take into a fire.

An SCBA typically has three main components: a highpressure tank, a pressure regulator, and an inhalation connection (mouthpiece, mouth mask or face mask), connected together and mounted to a car-

rying frame.

“SCBA is one of the most important trainings we have in the fire service,” said Howe Fire Chief Robert Maniet. “Being able to use them from breathing to setting off our PASS device in case we get trapped or go down is the most important training of SCBA. Breathing in the mask and learning to control your breathing can help prolong your time of available air and possibly save your life. “

Bulldogs (Continued from page 1)

compares to seven road losses for Howe. The Bulldogs suffered only their second home loss Friday night as only Pottsboro and now Bells have claimed victory on the Howe home court.

Howe’s week started with a loss at Blue Ridge where the wheels came off in the fourth quarter after a superb defensive battle throughout the first 3 frames of action. Howe’s Noah Campbell exited the game in the fourth quarter which helped allow the Tigers to go on an 18-10 run to finish out a 52-43 win. Campbell led Howe with 12 points while Lucan Jenkins led Blue Ridge with 16 points.

The Tigers took a 24-21 lead into the half and used their zone defense to force the Bulldogs to shoot out of it. The result was four 3-pointers in the third quarter

by Howe from four different players. Jake Fabacher, Jacob Campbell, Luke Lopez, and Noah Campbell each converted a long ball to bring Howe within a point heading into the fourth quarter.

But in the final frame, friction between Noah Campbell and Logan Shade of Blue Ridge led to Campbell residing on the bench for the remainder of the contest and Blue Ridge pushing up an unsurmountable lead. Behind Noah Campbell’s 12 points were Jacob

Campbell (9), Fabacher (8), Kolby Taylor (4), Eli Wilson (4), Luke Lopez (3), and Austin Haley (3).

With the loss, Howe fell to 8-6 on the year and 6-4 in district play.

A COVID makeup game with Pottsboro was played the following night and Howe played similar on the back-to-back night as they did on a back-to-back with Gunter earlier this year. The Bulldogs looked tired and had no legs to stop the Cardinal offensive attack and the lack of legs contributed to a lackluster shooting performance.

Noah Campbell was not available for the remaining games during the week which left the Dogs scrambling to find points to make up the difference. Howe only had 11 points at the half at Pottsboro who had 23.

The Bulldogs finally began scoring the in second half with Fabacher hitting two 3-pointers in the third and Haley hitting two more in the fourth. But it was too little too late as Pottsboro claimed the 56-38 win which placed Howe at 8-7 on the year and more importantly, 6-5 in district play.

Haley led Howe with 14 points followed by Jacob Campbell with eight. Other scorers were Fabacher (6), Ethan Lopez (5), Taylor (3), and Wilson (2).

Friday night was Howe Senior Night for the Howe basketball program. Complete photo album by Michelle Carney With the two losses, no one gave Howe much of a chance to beat the district-leading Bells Panthers (17-3, 10-2) on Friday night— even at home where Howe is near -perfect. But Howe led for the entire game until 1:19 remaining when the Panthers used a stifling press and went on a 12-1 run to close out the contest with a 40-36 win.

Not only was Noah Campbell unavailable, but also Luke and Ethan Lopez were not available due to possible sickness. Freshman Cooper Jones was called up from the junior varsity to make his debut in which he did in the third quarter.

Howe jumped out to a quick lead early in the game and surprised the Panthers with excellent guard play by freshman Jacob Campbell and outstanding defensive post play Kolby Taylor who kept Cooper Smith of Bells scoreless

in the first quarter. Meanwhile, Fabacher and Haley hit 3-pointers and both totaled 11 points in the first frame for all of Howe’s points accounting for an 11-7 lead after the first quarter.

Howe’s offense stalled a little in the second quarter, but the Howe defense remained tough allowing Bells only eight points and Howe took an 18-15 lead into the half.

Cameron Lankford, starting for the second consecutive game, hit a 3-pointer in the third to couple with another 3-bomb by Haley to help push Howe to an 11-10 win of the third period. Things were still on track in the fourth quarter

Lady Bulldogs end season, miss the playoffs for the first time in 10 years

The Howe Lady Bulldogs closed out the 2020-2021 season on Friday night with a 56-41 loss to Bells at home. This followed a Tuesday night 31-20 win at Blue Ridge for their seventh win of the season compared to 12 losses.

Howe finished district play with a 4-10 record keeping them from the playoffs for the first time since the 2009-2010 season and only the third time since 20022003. Derek Lands will enter next season with 451 career wins, but he’ll be without Sierra Copeland, Katie Grogan, and Reagan Troxtell who will graduate in May. Copeland was the last remaining starter from the team a year ago that made it to the state semifinal round of the playoffs.

But Howe next season will have a roster full of young, but experienced players such as Kendall Griffin, Matalee Stewart, Emory Snapp, and Teagan Stubblefield.

Seniors next year will be Landery Sanders, Trinity Williams, and Avery Snapp.

In Blue Ridge on Tuesday, Howe actually shut out the Lady Tigers in the first quarter. Howe led 5-0 heading into the second and 17-7 heading to the half. The Lady Bulldogs continued to control the remainder of the game by a dominating performance by Sierra Copeland who had 17 points and 16 rebounds. Howe closed out the 31-20 win thanks in part to a 10-7 fourth quarter.

Other scorers behind Copeland were Grogan (5), Griffin (4), Stubblefield (3), and Stewart (2).

Trinity Williams missed both games during the week while nursing a knee injury.

On Friday, Howe broke out of the gate quickly and led 13-9 after the first quarter and 23-22 at the half although Howe’s lead reached as much as six early in the second quarter.

The Bells Lady Panthers stormed out of the half with a pressurized full-court press which stymied Howe and turned the game around. Bells quickly found themselves up 28-23 just moments into the second half.

Grogan gave Howe the lead again at 29-28 with a 3-pointer, but Bells raced out again with an 8-0 run.

Bells took a 41-34 lead to the fourth quarter and won the fourth quarter 15-10 for the 56-41 win.

The seniors accounted for 29 of the 41 points as Copeland finished with 17 points and 11 rebounds in her final game. Also, in her final game, senior Katie Grogan put in 12 points. Other scorers were Griffin (7), Sanders (4), and Stewart (2).

The Howe High School Theater Department has announced the company for the 2021 contest show which is 33 Variations by Moisés Kaufman.

Saturday, March 20, time TBD.

The organization will be participating in pre-season clinics on Feb. 12 in Rockwall and Feb. 23 in Denison. There will be a public performance at the high school on February 28 at 6 pm, but due to COVID there will be pre-sale only the week before with limited attendance.

The district contest is Tuesday, March 16 at Denison High School, and Howe will perform first at 10:00 am. If they advance, bi-district is also at Denison on

The contest will be much different this year than in the past, due to COVID changes by the UIL. They eliminated the area round of competition, so schools that advance from bi-district will go straight to regionals. The UIL also cut the number of schools that can advance at bi-district from three to two. Additionally, all cast and crew are required to wear a cloth face covering at all times, including during the contest performance.

33 Variations is a play inspired by Ludwig van Beethoven's Diabelli Variations. It débuted on Broadway on March 9, 2009, starring

Junior Alex Huerta: Assistant Stage Manager

Jane Fonda. Originally written in 2007, its world première was held at Arena Stage in Washington, D.C. The play simultaneously examines the creative process behind Beethoven's Diabelli Variations and the journey of a musicologist, Katherine Brandt, to discover the meaning behind why Beethoven was compelled to write thirtythree distinct variations on a simple theme by a minor music publisher. The progression of her Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and her relationship with her daughter are also themes of the story, as is Beethoven's growing deafness.

Directors: Chelsie Nail and Katie Ciani The action takes place both in Beethoven's time and the present, switching back and forth between the two. However, at certain key points, characters from both time periods appear on stage to deliver lines simultaneously, emphasizing the parallels between the exploits of both sets of characters.

Jimmie Aaron 50-year City Councilman Jimmie Aaron was honored at last week’s monthly meeting as he served his final meeting.

In 1970, he and several other leaders of Dorchester formed the first Dorchester City Council.

They worked to bring water to the area which is now providing nearly 1,000 citizens.

“Dorchester is lucky to have Jimmie, as not only his service to the city on the council spanning most of the last 50 years, but his assistance at all times toward repairs, knowledge, and help on the water system has been outstanding,” said Dorchester Mayor David Smith. “Jimmy is one of the original community members that assisted in starting and growing the water system for the city and the community. He always has a wonderful smile, greeting, and friendly conversation for anyone that is lucky enough to cross his path.”

It is unclear what the longestserving council member tenure is in the State of Texas or in the U.S. But one would think 50 years would place Aaron near the very top if not at the very top.

His seat was filled by his son-inlaw Justin Raner. He will be sworn in this month.

Bulldogs (Continued from page 2)

as Howe killed much of the clock by passing around and through the Panther defense. The Bulldogs took a 35-28 lead after Fabacher hit two free throws with 2:58 remaining in the game.

With 2:42 left in the game, Bells’ leading scorer Tanner Carter nearly slipped and fell under the basket but recovered to put up a successful shot and also drew the foul which he connected for the 3 -point play to bring the game within four at 35-31.

Howe was again in position to kill a lot of time on the clock, but a foul called sent Jacob Campbell to the line where he missed the free throw to put the ball back in the hands of Bells. On the other end, Haley fouled Carter who sank both free throws to make it 35-33 with 1:51 left.

Jacob Campbell again was fouled on the other end and made his

first free throw to extend Howe’s lead to 36-33 with 1:47 left but missed the second shot which resulted in a Cooper Smith lefthanded layup to make it 36-35 with 1:33 left.

Moments later Taylor was fouled

by Smith, but Taylor missed both free throws. On the other end of the floor, Keaton High’s 3-point miss was rebounded by Smith and put up for a bucket to give Bells their first lead of the night at 3736. From that point on, Howe was unable to score while Bells added three to finish out the 40-36 win.

Fabacher led Howe with 13 points while Haley added nine. Other scorers were Jacob Campbell (8), Lankford (3), and Taylor (3).

Howe will travel to Leonard on Tuesday and Whitewright on Friday. A loss of either or both would eliminate the Bulldogs from the playoffs with the exception of a Blue Ridge loss.

Texas Rep. Gohmert: Why I will never bow to the anti-truth mob After years of Democrats’ and Never Trumpers’ non-stop vicious lies and smear campaigns against Donald Trump and the legitimacy of his election back in 2016, Washington elites have now decided it is undemocratic, and even dangerous, to raise legitimate concerns about election integrity. They want to silence and destroy anyone who does not comply with their totalitarian demand that we stop utilizing our First Amendment right of free speech for redress of grievances.

One of the left’s continuing myths is that every court that considered election improprieties found them all bogus. The truth is that not a single federal or state court had an evidentiary hearing to listen to and view the evidence of potential wrongdoing before the final votes were certified. Each court cited some procedural reason to avoid having an evidentiary hearing. That is indeed a tragedy. Even the Supreme Court refused to take up a case that the Constitution says only the Supreme Court could. Apparently, the slander, libel, and threats hurled at Trump nominated justices can be successful in intimidating even the best of judges.

Among my numerous concerns is the fact that according to the Data Integrity Group (DIG), the raw election night data feeds that the secretaries of state use to certify the election results show massive discrepancies and millions of “negative votes” for Donald Trump. How do you walk into a voting booth and subtract a vote from a candidate’s total by voting?

These anomalies are disturbing but have yet to be explained by any election official or any court of law There were also blatantly unconstitutional actions taken by secretaries of state in Georgia, Michigan, Nevada and Pennsylvania when they bypassed their state legislatures to change election law which allowed illegal ballots to be counted. The RNC collected at least 12,000 incident reports of election irregularities and malfeasance. There are also hundreds of signed affidavits— otherwise known as evidence in front of a judge—attesting to fraudulent activities in the 2020 election.

Millions of Americans who have legitimate concerns about the election have yet to see any explanation for any of the gross irregularities evidenced by these affidavits and in the Election Day data.

Only in an Orwellian nation would it be criminal to raise any questions of the propriety of an election. If that were actually the law from

2016 to 2020, virtually every Democrat in Congress would be subject to being silenced and even arrested.

But that was not and is not the law.

As for elitist Republican condemnation for questioning the election, where was their outrage when Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she didn’t understand why “uprisings” weren’t occurring all across the country in response to President Trump’s policies? Did I miss their million-dollar attack campaign against Democrat lawmakers who called for “unrest in the streets” as cities across America saw violent upheavals, deaths, looting, burning, destruction of businesses and property? Or against those who urged people to harass Republicans and members of the Trump Administration if they ever saw them in public?

Although I have said this numerous times, Trump Derangement Syndrome appears to have clouded the ability of some to absorb truth, so I’ll say it again: I unequivocally denounce violence! I always have.

And I wholeheartedly endorse the teaching of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., of peaceful protests to continue to bring about change.

For those who learn from history, we know certain actions have specific reactions. Pointing out the types of events that have historically triggered violence is not the same thing as calling for violence in the streets. It is trying to prevent violence. True to their own history, socialists continue to do all they can to rewrite our history. But the fact is when those in power continue to silence, punish, and intimidate others into not speaking the truth or even raising questions, they are attempting to seal a heating pressure cooker and that does not end well.

I condemn all the violence created by the socialists and anarchists on the left, and also condemn violence by people on the right. We must all resolve our differences freely and civilly in our institutions created to resolve these disputes. When courts refuse to give a hearing to these grievances, in unending deference to one side over the other in matters that tear at the very fabric of civilization, it only adds further stress to volatile situations.

Regardless of the attempts to intimidate me into silence, I will not stop fighting for truth, for the Constitution, and for the people of Texas.

And I will most certainly never bow or curtsy before a mob, especially the mindless thugs of the Marxist Left.

City of Howe SECONDS COUNT IN AN EMERGENCY! That's why the City of Howe has instituted the CodeRED Emergency Notification System - an ultra high-speed telephone communication service for emergency notifications.

This system allows us to telephone all or targeted areas in case of an emergency situation that requires immediate action (such as a boil-water notice, missing child or evacuation notices). The system is capable of dialing 60,000 phone numbers per hour. It then delivers a prerecorded message describing the situations to a live person or an answering machine in the affected area possibly including instructions requiring action on the part of the recipient. Once the situation is remedied, another call will be placed to the area signaling that the issue has been addressed and that normal activities can be resumed.

The following information is required to add a telephone number into the "CodeRED" database: first and last name; address (physical address, no P.O. boxes); city; state; Zip Code; and primary phone number. The system works with cellular phones but requires a valid street address. When entering information, please fill out all of the screens because the newest data entered will replace the old data.

House Judiciary Committee rejects proposal to recite pledge of allegiance at beginning of meetings

By Alex Nitzberg , Just The News Lawmakers spent time on Thursday debating but ultimately voting down a proposal by Rep. Matt Gaetz for the House Judiciary Committee to open each meeting by reciting the Pledge of Allegiance.

"And I just think it would be nice, if, in the spirit of national unity and national pride, which I know we all aspire to do to a greater extent, that at the beginning of each meeting the chair or one of the designees of the chair would have the opportunity to lead us in the pledge of allegiance," Gaetz said. "We're all aware that in these times it's important for the country to see members of Congress working together on some things and while I know that we can deal with divisive issues in the committee, it would be my hope that we could start every committee with a great, unifying, patriotic moment."

The committee ultimately voted down the proposal with 16 voting for it compared to 21 who voted against it.

House Judiciary Committee Chair Rep. Jerrold Nadler, a New York Democrat, was one of the lawmakers who voted no on the proposal.

"With a united effort we can make the place in which we live clean, wholesome, attractive. We can make the crowded city dweller homesick to come back to us and real living. We can bring new life, new business, new beauty, to the little towns." - Mame Roberts

discuss the future development at Blythe Road and US Highway 75.

"I want to say that I appreciate the sentiments of Mr. Gaetz in offering his amendment. However I would make several observations: First, as has been frequently stated by the members, the pledge is recited every day we are in session on the House floor," he said.

He recognized that many lawmakers are not on the floor when

that pledge occurs— and also said that many are not present at the start of each Judiciary Committee markup— but stated regarding the pledge Matt Gaetz on the House floor that "for those who want to recite the pledge, that is the best and most important opportunity to do so."

Nadler said the Florida Republican's amendment had not been pre -filed: "The first time we saw the amendment was after our meeting had begun when the amendment was offered." He said that "in terms of drafting, I would note that as an initial matter that the amendment appears to apply only to the full committee, not to subcommittees, and also applies only to meetings, not hearings. It is not clear to me if that limited scope was intentional or not."

Nadler also said that "the rules can be amended at any time in the future. I would therefore ask that if my friend from Florida is truly interested in developing a bipartisan proposal, that he withdraw his amendment and that I be permitted to discuss this matter with Ranking Member Jordan and others so that this issue could be considered after more thoughtful consideration and discussion."

Texas History Minute The twentieth century transformed the United States from a moderate power only loosely involved in world affairs into a suKen Bridges perpower where most questions of foreign relations revolved around American goals and intentions.

Much of this transition began taking place during the period just before and just after World War II. Numerous treaties were ratified, much planning was required, and many discussions took place in the U. S. Senate. An important part of this work in creating a global role for the United States came from a one-time, small-town attorney from McLennan County, Texas.

Thomas Terry Connally was born on a farm near the small community of Hewitt in McLennan County on August 19, 1877, just after the end of Reconstruction. He graduated from Baylor University in 1896 at age 19 and earned a law degree from the University of Texas in 1898. Immediately after graduation, he enlisted in the army to fight in the Spanish-American War. He believed in the role that America must play in world affairs, but in the meantime, moved to Marlin in Falls County to set up a law practice.

After respected terms in the state legislature and as Falls County Prosecuting Attorney, he was elected to Congress in 1916. America entered World War I in 1917, and Connally, at age 40, briefly resigned from Congress to join the army once again. After his return, he was put on the House Foreign Affairs Committee where he actively supported President Woodrow Wilson’s leadership on the world stage and plans for American entry into the League of Nations, an organization dedicated to world peace founded by Wilson. Because of bitterly divisive debates over the League, American entry never came to pass.

Connally was elected to the U. S. Senate in 1928. He eventually came to serve on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, becoming its chair in 1941. He supported President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s efforts to help arm the Allies as they fought against the Nazis and the Japanese. America could not afford to shy way from the demands of a dangerous world. Connally’s role as Foreign Relations Chair proved to be invaluable as the nation worked with Allies across the globe as World War II raged.

As World War II neared an end, Connally supported new American leadership in world affairs following the war. Roosevelt himself had supported the American entry into the League of Nations years before and now supported a new organization similarly dedicated to peace and justice among the nations of the

world. Roosevelt had referred to the Allies as “the United Nations” since the United Nations Declaration in 1942 and pushed for the creation of a formal organization that united all the world’s nations.

Connally was a natural choice to serve as a delegate, one of 850 from 51 nations.

He met with delegates from other nations to form the United Nations as delegates met in San Francisco, California, in April 1945. He was named vice-chairman of the Conference on International Organization that formally created the UN. He served as a representative to the first UN conference in London later that year and the second UN conference in 1946 in New York, which later became its permanent headquarters. He also helped the UN begin expanding beyond the initial World War II allies in 1946 by securing the admission of Afghanistan, Iceland, and Sweden to the assembly.

Connally won re-election easily in 1946. Nationally, the Democrats lost their majority in the Senate in light of President Harry S. Truman’s unpopularity at the time.

Connally lost his chairmanship of the Foreign Relations Committee but stayed on the committee. The chairmanship loss would be reversed when Democrats regained the Senate in 1948. With the Cold War with the Soviet Union deteriorating, a new treaty appeared before the committee that would also have lasting repercussions for the nation.

The North Atlantic Treaty allied the United States with Canada, and ten European nations into the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Connally pushed its approval through committee, and it was ratified in the Senate on July 21, 1949, by a vote of 82 to 13. NATO would be the first permanent alliance that the United States had entered into since it allied with France during the American Revolution. NATO became the cornerstone of America’s defensive posture against any communist expansion in Europe and was the first line of defense in any confrontation with the Soviets during the decades-long Cold War. America’s commitments abroad faced another test with the outbreak of the Korean War in 1950. Connally’s committee helped provide Truman with the congressional support he needed in organizing for the latest war. Connally also openly defended Truman’s controversial firing of Gen. Douglas MacArthur in 1951 for publicly criticizing the president.

Connally decided not to seek reelection in 1952. After his retirement, he remained in Washington; and though 75 years old, he opened a law firm. He died in October 1963. He died in a world that now looked to America for leadership in defense of the free world.

Returning to our first love Local church calendar The word revival is from the Hebrew word “chayah” and it means to bring back to life, to restore, rejuvenate, and renew. In the context of Dr. Billy spiritual revivHolland al it is often referred to as the great exchange where man is shown his need to rededicate his life back to God and through repentance he yields his will to God’s will. Jesus then restores the personal relationship that was lost and floods the conscience with His joy and peace.

There have been many of these outpourings of God’s Spirit throughout the world which were driven by fervent compassion and prayer. History records one of these such movements in Wales or as some call it Welsh which borders England. This revival started in 1904 and was the largest Christian awakening in Europe during the 20th century.

Many eyewitness events were noted such as there being an overwhelming sense of God’s presence in homes, at work, in the public marketplaces and even in the bars and nightclubs. The conviction of sin was so powerful, it was widely recorded that many were seen laying flat on the ground in the agony of guilt and repentance, while countless others were seen falling on their knees crying out for God’s mercy.

Church members and spiritual leaders confessing their secret sins were coming forth as a flood of honesty and humility resulted in long-standing debts being paid, stolen goods returned, church and family feuds healed and enemies being reconciled. As sin was being dealt with, the presence of God began to release an overwhelming sense of joy, peace, and praise! It was common to see gatherings last for eight hours and were filled with testimonies, worship, healing, and excitement. As these services would last all night, men would arrive in their work clothes with their lunches and in the morning they would leave and go to work. Prayer meetings were held in schools, train terminals, businesses, and in open fields.

Book stores sold out of Bibles as people were consumed with the desire to study God’s Word and to share the gospel everywhere they went. It was estimated that

100,000 people accepted Christ in six months and at its peak, a staggering 90 percent of the people were attending church. Remarkably much of the nation began to embrace and demonstrate the nature and character of God. With being involved in ministry most of my adult life, I have never seen a public display of the Holy Spirit at this level of intensity.

Such an outpouring is recognized as a spiritual awakening and many saints are praying today that God will send His refining fire to our nation soon. When a person is convicted of their lukewarmness, they will make a decision to surrender to their heart to Christ or resist. For the ones who choose to allow the Lord to break their heart of stone and fill them with His hope and security, this is the miracle of personal revival. True confessions from the depths of the human soul are the most costly and yet are also the most rewarding. Henry Blackaby is quoted as saying, “Revival is when God’s people return to Him and He returns to them, and everyone sees the difference.”

When we consider how much Jesus loves us and how He draws us

by His grace, let us rejoice that it does not please Him to condemn anyone, but rather He longs to deliver and set everyone free and proved it when He died for us on the cross. We are reminded in 2 Chronicles 7:14, “If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” We notice here in this wonderful promise that when God’s people cry out to Him, He will listen and intervene.

Moral decline brings judgment and God can use this to arouse the human conscience as this holy connection with the Almighty can rekindle the life-changing fires of spiritual transformation. I encourage you today to repent and ask the Lord to wash away your sins, as you return to your first love.

Romans 10:9-10 promises, “If you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”

Buying a second home in another state Hey Taylor: I’m thinking of buying a second home and I’m a little overwhelmed by the options.

Taylor I live in Florida Kovar and think I want a property in another state, as an investment/ vacation spot. Any specific regions you think I should target? Josh Hey Josh: This is a pretty exciting time to be investing in real estate, especially if you’re comfortable enough to have lots of options. It’s going to come down to where you want to spend time and what kind of red tape you’re willing to deal with, but there’s no shortage of places to look.

Either coast. A year ago, it would have been hard to advise anyone to buy property in New York or San Francisco because the cost was so ridiculous. It’s not like things are cheap there now, but the pandemic has made city living less appealing to lots of people and caused some properties to stay on the market that otherwise would have been swept up in seconds. If you want to own a nice rental in a major market that will probably become astronomically expensive again in a few years, this could be the time to pounce.

Emerging markets. We’re seeing a lot of new tech hubs pop up around the country, and the rise of remote working means you can buy in a pretty wide radius and not have to worry too much about finding a renter. Cities like Denver, Boise, Spokane, and Missoula don’t have the name recognition (or price tag) you’d find in the country’s biggest cities, but the industry is there to support a blossoming real estate

market. The places might not jump out at you as top choices for a vacation home, but the surrounding lands and national parks are pretty spectacular. Growing hubs like this provide relatively safe investments with lots of potential for booming prices.

Land. Maybe it’s just the Texan in me, but you can’t do too much better than a big, beautiful ranch.

If you don’t have super specific plans for your investment and aren’t dependent on rental income, think about buying a large, affordable plot of land in an area you like. You could buy acres of rolling hills in Texas, a swath of forest land in the Pacific Northwest, or maybe a couple miles of beachfront property down in Mexico. If you aren’t picky, you have the chance to buy cheap land that will be incredibly valuable down the road as the population grows and more areas develop.

Since you have so much to choose from, I’m sure this feels a little overwhelming. Trust your gut and go with the property you want to own. Enjoy the search!

Living with children John Rosemond accordingly.

Misusing terminology is not simply a matter of semantics. A person who confuses the meaning of words is likely to behave

That occurred to me during a conversation with a parent who was using the word discipline as if it was a synonym for punishment. When I pointed that out, he said, somewhat defensively, “What’s the difference?”

“We’re talking here about a problem you’re experiencing with one of your children. It’s a problem of discipline, not a problem of punishment.”

“Sorry, but I don’t understand,” he said, still a bit prickly.

“You seem to think that the problem in question requires punishment. I, on the other hand, believe it requires discipline.

Discipline is instruction.

Punishment is a disciplinary option, but it is not necessarily instructive. That depends on how it’s delivered.”

I can only hope that what I told him “stuck.” Too many parents make the mistake of thinking that discipline and punishment are one and the same. The root word of discipline is disciple. A childdisciple looks up to the parent (respect), follows the parent’s lead (obedience), and subscribes to the parent’s values (loyalty).

That set of characteristics is brought about by being a proper role model and providing proper instruction. Correction is one aspect of the process, and punishment is sometimes the best corrective, but when punishment is not delivered with a correct attitude on the part of the parent, it can be counterproductive. It can make matters worse.

The right attitude is one of calm intolerance. The child should know, without doubt, that the parent is strongly disapproving of the misbehavior in question, but it is vital that the parent not be in the grip of anger. When anger dominates a parents’ attempts at correction, it is likely to be nothing more than retaliatory, as in, “I’ll show you!” That accomplishes little if anything.

Furthermore, most parents have difficulty following through with consequences described in anger.

They tend toward overkill. How does one enforce, “No more Christmases for you, ever!”?

The proper attitude is translated, “I don’t like punishing you, but what you have done demands it.”

The sorts of things that call for punishment include belligerent disrespect, blatant disobedience, lies that are harmful to someone else, theft, and unjustifiable aggression.

Proper punishment makes an impression on a child, one that imparts a permanent memory, which is why, by the way, a few minutes in time-out is so generally worthless, especially for children who have outgrown toddlerhood. Big misbehavior demands a big response, but the way to prevent ever having to enforce a big response is to nip misbehavior in the bud. As they say, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

The bottom line: The more you instruct, the less you will have to punish, and the less you punish, the better for all concerned.
