Members of Eastland Civic League & Garden Club and visitors at last Wednesday’s lunch greeted speaker Attorney James Winters. Winters, from the Texas State Attorney General’s Office, presented an informative program regarding Human Trafficking. He accurately described his theme as a “dark subject” but one that everyone should be aware of and never believe “It’s not in my community”. Winters advised that all transportation routes across the state of Texas will see some human trafficking- even in smaller communities.

Heavenly Father, I believe you are God. You are the Creator of Heaven and Earth. You are the God of eternity. You are the ‘Lover’ of my soul.

D. L. Moody, having his father to die at his age of four, received an education equivalent to the fifth grade. Many who are familiar with his accomplishments as an evangelist, while ministering to children and conducting international ministry, may fail to realize his educational limitations. Knowing how to read moderately, he had to skip many words as he began his ministry teaching and preaching to children. The following quote from D. L. Moody is quite profound. Based upon the scripture found in Luke 18:17 Moody made the following statement.

Throughout the history of the United States, its citizens and inhabitants have drawn strength, hope, and guidance from prayer. From the very first Continental Congress through every form of adversity and blessing, Americans have fallen to their knees and implored God Almighty to protect their families and to heal their land. The freedom upon which America is founded affords the right to any individual to decline to pray if he or she so desires. However, that same freedom allows those who believe in the power of prayer to utilize that great opportunity to ask God to bless and sustain our nation. That freedom is not diminished merely because one is elected to public office. Quite the contrary, the cloak of authority placed upon the shoulders of a public servant should be an inspiration for those who believe in the power of prayer to use that great power to ask God to bless and sustain the nation they love and serve.

James Bovard, a civil libertarian made this statement in 1994. “Democracy must be something more than two wolves and a sheep voting what they will have for dinner.”
