Every generation has heard about the “good old days,” but I remember a time when our lives were governed by the 10 Commandments, good judgment and common sense were taught the difference between right and wrong and to take responsibilities for our own actions. Until we come to grips with the reality of our situation, freedom as we know it, will slip away. In this modern day world of bio-chemical and nuclear threats, there is no security apart from God. Without God’s word... Full story
Editor’s note: The “Meet the” series profiles the people behind groups, organizations and businesses in the community. PNT staff writer [email protected] Jo Rackler said she always remembers loving to sing. Starting at 10 years old, Rackler solos to do specials at church. Her church did not have a choir, but when her family moved and started to go to Emmanuel Baptist Church when she was 16, she immediately joined the choir. For the past 54 years, Racker’s joy for singing...
Regarding the Jan. 1 editorial “Public officials could use a few resolutions:” My family went to San Diego to see our son graduate from Marine boot camp. While there, we went to the zoo. That night the zoo was hosting a homosexual pride event and many attendees started showing up about the time we were leaving. It was very disturbing and I could not get my kids and grandkids away from there fast enough. I believe our lawmakers should fight the state Supreme Court ruling on gay marriage. I personally will fight it pol...
Have you been taught, or come to believe on your own, that Romans 13 tells you to obey the government official and all the rules he imposes? link Kent McManigal If so, you have been tragically misled. In America, the powers that be reside not in any person or group of people, but only in the U.S. Constitution — as written for the average person to understand, not as interpreted by judges. If you feel you should follow Romans 13, the Constitution is where your obedience b...
I dug out my comic books for the first time in awhile Wednesday night. Oh how I have missed them.The graphics, the story lines, the characters, the heroism, there’s really nothing to not like about comic books. I miss my novels and intellectual books as well. I miss all of my books and I miss reading for enjoyment. There are a lot of things I enjoy about journalism, but I suppose the major downside is it heavily interferes with my literary life. link Alisa Boswell Although I... Full story

PNT senior writer [email protected] A local state representative said he’ll do what he can to convince his fellow lawmakers to vote against any proposed legislation for marijuana legalization. Rep. Bob Wooley, R-Roswell, said Democratic Sen. Gerald Ortiz y Pino plans to propose a constitutional amendment to legalize marijuana in the state during the 30-day legislative session set to begin this week. And Wooley said his only game plan is to get with other lawmakers and vote against it. “I’ve seen too many bad thing...
We still don’t know details about what caused Tuesday’s tragedy in Roswell. We do know some politicians and other hand-wringers will use the 30th school shooting in about a year to push once more for stricter gun laws or fewer gun laws, or to trumpet plans to arm teachers or step up security in all manner of ways. Yes, our schools regularly participate in drills and discuss ways to respond to violence, as did Roswell. By all accounts, Roswell reacted as best anyone could expect. Repetitious drills are one good way to pre...
