Sloan got a couple things wrong Regarding Wendel Sloan’s column in Sunday’s paper: I think most of what he said is true. I don’t know about jerks or sociopaths, but I know a lot of Texans and not one of them think they are superior to anyone. There is no such thing as a “good Christian.” You are a believer in Christ or you are not. We all sin. Sloan said we don’t know why we are here. I know why I am here. I am here to love my fellow man and, yes, that is what the Bible says. Nadine Moore Portales This election crucial for...
Local columnist Ever get a case of the munchies? Find yourself a few calories short in the long wait between regularly scheduled meals? No problem, right? Just bop down to the convenience store, the snack machine, or the nearest refrigerator. But what if you’re on the tractor in the middle of a farm, miles from the nearest refrigerator that still cools and contains anything other than a few parts that are better kept out of the weather.

Religion columnist Ponder, for a few moments, the humble house fly. Well, first of all, “Musca domestica Linnaeus,” the common house fly, maddeningly common, is anything but humble. Unbidden and with no introduction at all, it will enter your home, light on your person, fly up your nose, or into your ear. I was preaching last Sunday when, yea, verily, in my pulpit, a fly tried to light in my eye. It could have been worse. The act of preaching requires an open mouth, and the... Full story
