Voucher bill passes Senate, arrives in House

A bill to implement school vouchers in Texas sailed through the Senate largely on party lines last week and now awaits consideration in the House, the Austin American-Statesman reported. House Speaker Dustin Burrows, R-Lubbock, said he believes there are enough votes in that chamber to pass the legislation, which was defeated a half-dozen times in 2023 by a coalition of Democratic and rural Republican members. 02/12/2025 11:05 AM

What goes on at Kaffee Klatch, stays at Koffee Klatch

GOD first...Heavenly Father, Your Son suffered in the wilderness and on the cross in a way that we can't imagine. He walked everywhere he went, healing and preaching. He couldn't drive hundreds of miles or take an airplane flight to foreign countries... He walked. We walk to get exercise and complain when it gets too hard to walk one step farther. Lord, help us to set examples for others to follow. Help us to give strength, faith, and love to those around us even when we are suffering. We ask in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. 02/12/2025 11:05 AM
