Why Does God Sometimes Delay?
“When Jesus heard that Lazarus was dying, he waited to go because he wanted to do something more glorious,” says Josie, 11.

The North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD) will be performing prescribed burns to address brush and excessive vegetative thatch at the East Fork Water Reuse Project (Wetland) in Kaufman County. The prescribed burns will be conducted over multiple days beginning in December 2020 through February 2021. The timing and conclusion of the prescribed burns will depend on local weather conditions.
Many people are avoiding in-person doctor’s visits to limit potential exposure to coronavirus -- or are simply ignoring health concerns altogether. However, when it comes to medical emergencies such as stroke, immediate medical attention is critical.
From his first campaign for statewide office in 2014 to now, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has never not been in legal trouble. And his problems are multiplying at a time when someone in his spot would ordinarily be dreaming and scheming about higher office.
I recently saw 30/30 ammo going for $85 a box at a gun show and folks were standing in line to purchase it. I’m not talking about some specialty wildcat rounds that are hand loaded, I’m talking THIRTY THIRTY rounds, arguably the most common and widely used of all centerfire ‘bullets’. Just try to find a box of 9 mm or .223 ammo. It’s as scarce as hen’s teeth. If you can find it, it might be necessary to take out a loan on the homestead just to purchase a few boxes! Even rim fire .22 rounds are tough to find and pricy.
Anglers across the state entered 340 lunker bass greater than 8 pounds in the Toyota ShareLunker program from 86 lakes during the 2020 season, which wrapped up Dec. 31. In addition to helping produce bigger, better bass for Texas lakes, anglers who enter their big bass catches in the program receive special recognition and prizes, including an entry into a yearend drawing to win a $5,000 Bass Pro Shops shopping spree and an annual fishing license.
Texas’ secessionist inclinations have at least one modern outlet: the electric grid. There are three grids in the Lower 48 states: the Eastern Interconnection, the Western Interconnection — and Texas.
While you may take electricity for granted in today’s world, you might not in the future -- that is, if current trends continue. As a new report highlights, the U.S. electrical workforce is aging out and not being sufficiently replaced -- a trend which could have potentially devastating and far-reaching impacts nationwide. The report’s authors say that the time to fill the pipeline of new electrical workers and invest in training and retention is now.
Texas lawmakers will almost certainly be back for a rare special legislative session in the fall now that the U.S.
The 1920 Greenwood District in Tulsa, Oklahoma, was a sight to behold with its multiple newspapers, movie theaters, grocery stores, schools, churches, hotels, medical centers, and nightclubs. Historians credit Tulsa for embodying very progressive racial views. See, Greenwood was a black neighborhood, a very successful black neighborhood. A black family could live, shop, and even obtain a bank loan from another black person without leaving the comfort of their own neighborhood, a feat unheard of anywhere else in the US at that time. Booker T Washington deserves much of the credit for Greenwood’s success. His visit in 1905 set all of the wheels in motion. He was instrumental in guiding the community’s black leaders toward developing 4,000 acres within Tulsa two full years before OK was even considered for statehood. I bet you’re asking why Tulsa? Again, we turn to the historians who explain that post-emancipation slaves largely stayed & settled in the Oklahoma area. They would soon rub elbows with prosperity when massive amounts of oil were discovered in 1901 and again in 1905 with the Glenpool area wells. Soon, the whole country wanted a piece of the action, too. In 1900, Tulsa’s population was 1,400. By 1920, they hit 98,874. The money was flowing as fast as the oil, and, since Booker T had persuaded the Greenwood community to stress education over everything else, a very savvy black community was poised to achieve a lifestyle that would be envied by black neighborhoods throughout the country. The Greenwood District was so successful, it picked up a trendy nickname: Black Wall Street. This is how it was meant to be, they thought. Look at us working hard one generation past slavery. Look how we’re going to persevere. Look what we’ve created. Alas, you may already know this won’t end well. If not, consider this a spoiler alert of catastrophic proportions.
An historic weather event occurred in Texas the week of February 14-19, 2021. Record setting low temperatures and actual snow fell in most of North Texas with the Forney area receiving a number of inches of snow and personal pictures normally seen in Colorado. Electricity distribution was endangered and water froze in pipes in extremely cold homes. But the Forney Family stepped up and volunteered to cook for families who had no power, bring firewood to help create warmth in people’s fireplaces, and transport those who had no other way to get to warmer accommodations.
If you have a child or other family member who has special needs due to physical or mental conditions, you face a variety of challenges planning for their care, including financial ones. You may also have some wellmeaning relatives who want to help, but who may not realize that their moves could actually result in some serious lifestyle and monetary problems for your loved one. Fortunately, by planning ahead, you can avoid these potential traps.
The City of Forney continues to search for creative new ways to support its residents and the local economy. Earlier this month, the City launched a new program that brings attention to our local businesses using a facet of life that many people encounter countless times a day: digital media.
In early November, the Forney ISD school board surprised the swim and dive teams through a Facebook live announcing the addition of an aquatic training facility to be built this spring and summer. And on Monday, February 8, Forney ISD signed an MOU with Metroplex Aquatics to manage the facility for $0 operating costs to the district while also providing community engagement opportunities.
“I think God the Father has given his Son power over everything because Jesus is greater than all. He has come from heaven,” says Kianna, 10.
