Legislation gives control back to communities to stop smoking, vaping

Legislation gives control back to communities to stop smoking, vaping

Last session, the Legislature passed a bill restricting how municipalities could penalize underage tobacco usage after studies found education was a stronger deterrent than strict penalties. As can happen in the legislative process, we tried it, and it didn’t work.

A test from the CCP

The Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) increasingly aggressive and competitive behavior toward our nation is of great concern.

Faith is seeing the unseen

Faith is seeing the unseen

My favorite verse in the entire Bible is 2 Corinthians 4:18 which says, “So we fix our eyes, not on what we can see, but on what we cannot see. For what is seen is temporary and what is unseen is eternal.” Living this way is extremely hard. It is difficult to focus on eternal things in a world fixated on the here and now. The only way to live for the eternal is to live each day by faith. 03/02/2023 05:00 AM
