From the moment we’re born, we begin the process of absorbing the world around us—its stories, its rules, its expectations. We’re praised for behaving, rewarded for conforming, and taught, often subtly, that who we are isn’t as important as who others want us to be. But there comes a point—sometimes gently, sometimes as a full-blown identity crisis—when you start to question it all....

Rockwall Voices Op-Ed The focus of the session was to craft a conservative state budget that makes strategic investments in infrastructure—such as water systems and state road, pass school choice legislation, increase funding for public schools, address housing affordability, implement bail reform, reduce property taxes, and advance many other state priorities. The legislature addressed housing affordability by mandating reduced lot sizes, lowering impact fees, authorizing HUD-code manufactured homes, and encouraging mixed-use developments in commercial buildings, among other measures....

Stretching out your hand into an active beehive to get honey will not end well. God gave us bees to pollinate ensuring many fruits and vegetables grow to feed us and animals. For the most part, we can avoid bees while they do their pollinating, but not when we want to get some honey. Honey is kept under close watch in the beehive and most of us have a story or two about being stung by a bee if we have tried to take a sample of it....

“It’s beyond me.” I can still hear my Mamaw’s voice saying it—soft, certain, full of the kind of wisdom that didn’t need to raise its volume to be heard. She said it often. Not as a shrug or a dismissal, but as a calm declaration that whatever it was… wasn’t hers to carry. As a child, I didn’t fully understand what she meant....
