Peace in Troubled Times Galatians 5:22-23 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.”

The times we are liv-

Henry Nelson ing in are very troublesome times. In the last few years our whole circumstances have changed. The economy was going strong, but after September 11, it changed. We headed into a recession, and worse Americans no longer felt safe in their own homes. There is great trouble in the Middle East, and the U.S. is discovering that Europe maybe turning against us. We are told that further terrorist attacks are inevitable, nothing is certain anymore and on top of all that, our own individual problems have not gone away. For some of us, right now may be a great time personally, but others may be going through very uncertain and difficult times.

Jesus disciples also encountered just such a time in their lives. They had all come from various walks of life before they met Jesus. Maybe for some of them, life was good, and for others life was bad.

For the past three-and-a-half years they had been with Jesus and life had been good. They had seen countless miracles, healings, deliverances, walking on water, calming the storm, feeding the 5,000, and even raising the dead. They had spent the past years listening to the greatest teachings ever spoken. Further, because they expected that Jesus would literally overthrow the Roman government and set up his kingdom in Jerusalem, they were excited because Jesus had gained popularity and they were on the inside of the movement. They had no idea of the crisis they were about to be put through, basically that Jesus would be arrested, beaten, tried, and crucified.

However, Jesus knew what was about to take place, and he wanted to prepare them for what was ahead. So, he explained to them what was about to happen. Previously he had made references to his death, but in a way that they could not understand. Now, he wanted them to really understand what he was saying, so he spoke clearly to them. This conversation that Jesus had with his disciples prepared them better to accept the changes and the uncertainty that was about to come.

None of us likes change. None of us likes uncertainty. We’re always going to

PAGE 2

have a certain level of worry when we know that hard times are ahead of us.

However, we can by examining Jesus’ discourse with the disciples, learn how to get through those times without worrying.

John 14:1-4 says, "Do not be troubled.

You trust God, now trust in me. There are many rooms in my Father’s home, and I am going to prepare a place for you. If this were not so, I would tell you plainly.

When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. Philippians 4:6-7 says, “Do not worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.

If you do this, you will experience God’s peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.”

Trust and faith are really similar words, almost treated as synonyms sometimes.

But really they are miles apart. Faith is what moves a mountain or calms a raging storm. But do you know what is greater than faith? What I find more spectacular than Jesus calming the storm, was his trust in God that allowed him to be fast asleep in perfect peace while the storm raged all around him. Faith is knowing that God can change things. Trust is knowing that God will do what is best. It is trust that keeps you floating until the miracle comes. Amen!

Many times in your lives, situations may seem hopeless. You may even question, “Where is God in all this?” We may wonder how anything good could possibly come of our situation. Romans 8:28 says, “And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.” Amen!

Maybe we use this verse so much in Christianity that it becomes a cliché, but the fact is that it is a very real truth from God’s word. No matter what the enemy throws your way, God will turn it into good. You can trust God, because he assures you that there is a reason for it.

He did not send the trials your way. And he did not stop them, because he plans to do something great through them. We may not always see right now what good is going to come of it, but that is where trust comes in. God says it will turn into good. You may see it someday, and you may never recognize it, but good will come.

Another way that Jesus reassured his disciples was his promise that it would not last forever. He said, “I am going away, but I will be back to get you.” The fact is God promises that whatever trials you have to go through, they won’t last forev-

er. We have a saying, “All good things must come to an end.” But the Christian perspective should be, “All bad things must come to an end.” Amen!

Jesus knew that his disciples could not survive the turmoil that was ahead forever, but he was able to promise them that there may be storm clouds ahead, although there may be sunshine on the other side.

Psalm 30:5 says, “Weeping may go on all night, but joy comes with the morning.” You may feel today like your circumstances will never change. You may feel like you have entered the never-endingvalley-of-the-shadow-of-death. In fact, I do not know your situations, but someone here could very well feel like it’s the end of the world. But Jesus promises you that your trials will not last forever. Amen!

Even on the earth, he will provide a way out for you. But our ultimate release is going to come when he returns to get us like he promised. He will take us out of the grip of this world and its troubles forever. And at that time, every unfair trial and circumstance you were put through will be made right.

Job was put through a terrible trial.

First, having been rich, he lost all of his possessions. He lost his cattle, his house,

and his children. Then Satan cursed him with a terrible sickness. Even his wife advised him to curse God and die. But in that moment, we see the most intense trust of God’s deliverance.

Job 19:25 says, “"But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, and that he will stand upon the earth at last. “ Job knew that no matter what he was going through now, he could endure it, because it would not last forever. As surely as his problem existed, one day his vindicator would stand triumphant.

Jesus promised them that even though he himself had to go, he would send another. He would send the Holy Spirit to them. The Holy Spirit would not be limited to time and space like Jesus was.

Lastly, it is precisely because you can trust in God to get you through hard times: trust that he is in control; trust that it won’t last forever; trust that we have what we need to get through; and trust that he will never leave us, that Jesus could say in John 14:27, “I am leaving you with a gift; peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is not like the peace the world gives. So do not be troubled or afraid.” Now you know how to have peace in times of trouble. Amen!

Shout Your Victory!

From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the Lord's name is to be praised. – Psalm 113:3 Praise God. Praise Him in the morning.

Praise Him at noon. Praise Him at night. If you've never praised God in your life, then get started right now. Praise Him for freedom.

Praise Him for healing and Calvary.

Praise Him for the Name of Jesus.

You ought to be shouting your way to work and shoutGeraldine Davidson-Hooker ing your way back home! If there's anything the devil can't stand, its praise.

If you've taken territory from the devil and he's coming against you to get it back, this is not the time to sit down and whine about how things aren't working out. It's not time to decide that God has taken His hand off your life.

It is time to get into the Word and get you re-anchored in God's promises. It is time to keep that promise constantly before your eyes and in your heart. It is time to pray the prayer of faith and take your stand on the basis of His provision. It is time to continue to do the things you know to do.

When Satan starts shaking your mountain, don't retreat and run for cover. Speak to the mountain with the authority you wield in the Name of Jesus Christ. Then, when you're done with that, start to praise and shout the victory.

You don't have to be afraid of Satan.

He'll be afraid of you!

Hill Sentenced to 18 years --Can YOU Get It. “From Where I Sit” by Sandra Crenshaw U.S. Judge Barbara Lynn sentenced former Dallas Mayor Pro Tem Don Hill to 18 years in federal prison and fined him $112,500 in restitution to Bill Fisher, the housing developer who turned FBI informant. In what appears to be the end of the largest public corruption trial in Texas, controversy still remains as to why Hill remains defiant that he did nothing wrong. His claim of innocence after a four-year investigation, 30,000 hours of taped conversation, and a three month trial in his defense, all paid at taxpayers expense has his friends and foes concerned. Some question whether or not “Don really gets it.” Others are questioning the fairness of our judicial system. “Where are the victims to justify 18 years in the pen ” they ask.

At one time I had the same concerns. Here are a few glimpses of what I learned from where I sit-- up front.

Don Hill, once the second-highest-ranking elected official at Dallas City Hall is also an attorney bound by oath to uphold the law. The Judge described the conduct of the 14 defendants as a stick up, robbing folks without a gun. Several prominent black business men told me that If it had been them, they would have “just pulled out a gun and shot them-----. about they money“ Hill tells Lee to “Go get $10 grand from the boys, put it in an envelope and give it to District 7 Councilman Leo Chaney and then ask Chaney to get you $200,000 out of District 7 discretionary bond money account for infrastructure for one of your personal real estate property investments.” Who are the victims here? Because Lee, acted under the guidance and direction of Hill, he was sentenced to 14 years in prison for conduct that he did not know was a federal crime. He was being lead by an Attorney and Lee thought this was politics. He tearfully testified of how his children were being ridiculed at school, he spoke of the pain it caused his elderly mother, how his father, who died recently, did not get up each morning at 6am to provide for his 7 children so that he would NOT end up where he is now.

We heard Hill tell Sheila Farrington, a woman who was not his wife, to wake up and come to City Hall. She said she didn’t know what to say. Hill told her “The deal is already done. I just need you to seal the deal.” Just put that tight purple dress on and come here and “back that thing up” ( in front of this white businessman.” His conduct was an affront to women. His church was made to look hypocritical allowing him to serve on the deacon board.

We heard Hill tell Sheila to give money to Lee in less than $10,000 increments to avoid exposure to the banks and then Hill testified that Sheila did not file 1099 income tax forms for Lee because she did not have Lee’s social security number. This kind of testimony caused the Judge to be appalled that an attorney would stand before the public, a jury and a judge and claim innocence. The Judge told Hill that he led his now wife to the pen for 9 years and literally orphaned her 16 year old daughter in her junior year at Town View Law Magnet. Hill never apologized to his ex wife or their children.

Ricky Robertson , a local car dealer, sold Sheila a BMW for Don. We gathered that Sheila did not want the car put in Hills name because it would be community property with his wife. The only evidence the government had to charge Robertson in this matter was a conversation where Roberts offered suggestions of whose name the car could be transferred to.. The jury did not know that Roberts, by law, has to transfer titles within 21 days or face penalties. Now he faces 3 years in the federal pen and lost his license to earn a living when he gets out. He will lose the opportunity to see a baby girl that he and his wife, a local dentist, adopted to keep a teen mother from aborting her.

Prayer Closet PASTOR CLARENCE HENDERSON ELITE NEWS COLUMNIST

I mentioned on last week the importance of knowing the mind and the will of God, and if we are to come in to full touch with God, we must believe that he is.

The writer of the Epistle to the Hebrews Pastor said, “He that cometh Clarence to God must believe Henderson that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.” (Hebrews 11:6). The actual presence of God must be realized through faith. We must realize Him as the allknowing God. He knows all about us. He knows us even better than we know ourselves. He knows our yesterdays and he knows our tomorrow as well as he knows our today. Trust Him today for your heaven’s hope, help and happiness.

Olympic history - first black couple to compete

VANCOUVER - French pairs skaters Yannick Bonheur and Vanessa James are set to create history on Sunday when they become the first black couple to compete in figure skating at the Olympic Games.

Getting to Vancouver has been a long journey for the duo who teamed up just over two years ago after Bonheur put an advert on the internet after splitting with previous partner Marylin Pla. Canadian-born James' aunt saw it and convinced her niece, who has lived in England since she was a child, to reply.

James, 22, arrived in France for a trial run and never left with the duo teaming up in December 2007.

"It's destiny and I'm very happy

about it," said 27-year-old Bonheur.

"There's the grace and beauty of Vanessa and then my athleticism. And the fact that we're both black brings a pleasing visual harmony."

James previously competed internationally for Britain as a single's skater.

She was the 2006 British national champion and 2007 silver medallist.

The pair moved to Indianapolis in the United States in August 2009 to train with Russian coach Sergei Zaitsev.

And last December they booked their ticket to Vancouver by winning the French nationals, a victory which enabled James to receive French citizenship.

Bonheur said they were determined that their Olympic experience will lay the

groundwork for future successes, after they finished seventh at Europeans.

"This is just the beginning. We want to make a name for ourselves so that they'll remember us for next season," he said.

Being tagged the first black pairs skaters is not a disadvantage, they insist.

"It's often been remarked that we look different on the ice. So we want to highlight that," said Bonheur.

"We want to climb the ladder to show that black skaters can stand on the podium."

Didier Gailhaguet, president of the French skating federation, added: "They have a really exceptional look about them."

Barber Shop Sports Talk with Leon Simon

Its getting to be one of my favorite times of the year, the NFL scouting combine is being held in Indianapolis, Ind. And Track season is moving out doors.

There has Leon Simon always been different schools of thought on the NFL combine, one school of thought and it seems to be the prevailing thought is that the combine is useless. If you can’t look at these young men body of work and study film of their college career then you don’t know NFL talent. I’m one those few that think the combine has a place in the sports world. First off supposedly these young men are amateurs and the fact that you are applying for a job, and this is the procedure you’re required to go through, that’s what you went to school for do it.

There is the argument, that says you can’t tell anything about a kids football ability by seeing how fast he can run the 40 yd dash, and testing his vertical leap.

My retort is I wish the NBA had similar testing, because somehow the Mavericks has come up with several centers that can’t jump either direction up or down.

Honestly though the biggest problem most young men have in going from college to NFL is the speed of the game.

From a more practical stand point if you can’t get there you’re a spectator make no difference, how good, how strong or how technically sound you are, if you’re not fast enough to get there in time you’re a spectator should be a paying customer.

Some even wonder how can a football players stock go up at a combine in March and for all intents an purposes football season was over in December. Now we come to the real reason for the combine, I think this is an excellent way to find out where these young men are mentally.

Is the Church Supplying the Needs for our 60 Plus Adults?

In preparing for this article I thought of many needs for the sixty plus adulthood individuals. As a member of this age group myself, I am very familiar with these needs.

Gene Turner As most people will Out of the Eyes of notice, many of our a Layman younger generation looks to the older and mature Christians for guidance and encouragement, but nobody ever stops to think about the life of those people who are sixty plus. The people that the younger generation looks to for guidance. How about their lives, how are things going in their lives? As a younger generation this very seldom comes to their minds. I know that, because of my own children. My kids look at me as a permanent statue of life, as if I’ve been her forever, and I’ve always been what I am right now.

I do not have any worries, my bills never get behind, and I am suppose to have money, I’ve never made any mistakes, and there is nothing that I

really need.

That’s kind of the way things are, many adults who are in a younger bracket think that older people are not really hurting for anything, they never get worried, they never have any anxiety. As Eleanor McKinney puts it: “ You will probably find that the main topic of discussion is health problems.

They may be exchanging thoughts on their illness, prescriptions, insomnia, Medicare, health insurance or the high cost of living. Why these negative expressions? Because that is where their concerns are.�

In this writing we are going to deal with some ways of understanding these needs of specific groups. Not to leave out any other, but to zero in on groups which seems to be taken for granted that everything is all right. I took the course on ADULT EDUCATION, and I was really surprised to know how some groups felt about themselves in the Church Body.

There probably are many Biblical Imperatives we could se, but for this writing we are going to use Matthew 28: 18-20. ‘Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the

name of the Father, and the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Teaching them to observe all whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.�

One of the first things any Church should do within this group is establish a discipleship program, because this age group is one of the fastest growing segments in our society. As the years go by, more and more pressure is going to be applied to being visible in participation in planning what they need to be doing. The 60 and up class do not want to be pushed aside. Once upon a time this group was content to just being silent, but no more, they want to be heard, and they want to play a major role in the make up of a senior curriculum and planning program.

In order to have a productive program for seniors, we must first recognize the fact that there is a need for this age group and we must take these needs and develop a program to meet the needs of this group.

Talking from the 2nd Chapter of Titus, Kenneth Gagel says, “Nowhere

else in Scripture do we have such fascinating categorization of adults into five specific groups, and for each group an identification of the kinds of educational experiences they needed in the light of their age, role in the Church and cultural surroundings.

Paul write to the young Church leader, “Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self controlled, and sound in faith, in Love and endurance (v2).� Homer Kent, says, “Healthy Christian lives are the results of healthful doctrine (v1),� The three areas of Christian life where this health is to be clearly evident are faith, love, and patience. Each term has the definite article. So, it is the faith (that is Christian truth), the love (which is the Christian’s duty, Jn. 13:34and the patience (which the Christian is to display on earth while waiting for the Lord (James 5:7-8).�

Outside of the family, the Church is the best friend the elderly has ever had. The reason that it is because the Church has taught Biblical values of love and ideas of compassion that have contributed to their total well being.

ENTERTAINMENT DALLAS COUNTY STUDENTS SUCCEED IN 2010 SPELLING BEES Each year, dozens of hopeful students compete in the Dallas County Public and Private Spelling Bees. Although the students hail from many different cities and schools, they have one uniting commonality: the dream of advancing to compete in the Dallas Morning News Regional Spelling Bee. The Dallas County Private Schools Spelling Bee took place on Tuesday, February 9. Forty-two students battled diligently for 10 rounds, until finally, Lokesh Nagineni, a student from Universal Academy in Coppell, emerged as champion upon correctly spelling the word “myelocyte” (a term for bone marrow cell). The runner up was Sophie Druffner from All Saints Catholic School in Dallas.

The Dallas County Public Schools Spelling Bee took place on Tuesday, February 16. Forty competitors gave their very best efforts and the contest endured

14 exciting rounds. Victory was won by Emily White, of Richardson West Junior High, for correctly spelling “zeitgeist” (a German word, referring to the general cultural climate within a nation). Sean Beck, a student from Lorenzo de Zavala Middle School in Irving, was the runner up in the competition.

Both spelling bees took place on the campus of The University of Texas at Dallas. Special sponsors included The Dallas Morning News, North Dallas Honey Company, The University of Texas at Dallas and Whataburger.

The County Bee champions will compete in the 52nd Annual Dallas Morning News Regional Spelling Bee on March 20.

The event will be televised by WFAA-TV, Channel 8. The Regional Champion will win an all-expense paid trip to Washington, D.C., to compete in the National Spelling Bee.

Hutchinson, Medina and Shami fall short in Party Primaries

By Lola Searcy Texas voters from both parties went to the polls on Tuesday, March 2nd and sent a message to their respective parties. The Republicans made it very clear that incumbent Governor Rick Perry should keep his job as the State’s longest tenured Governor.

The Republican race was somewhat disappointing as many

Kay Bailey Hutchinson

Debra Medina

political analysts were expecting the race for the Governor’s mansion to be much closer after a strong showing by Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson in earlier polls.

After watching the Republican debates, unknown and newcomer Debra Medina was expected to do well against Governor Perry and Senator Hutchinson. Instead, both Hutchinson finished a distant 2nd while Medina finished way behind in 3rd.

On the Democratic side, Houston businessman and multi-millionaire, Farouk Shami finished a very distant second behind former Houston Mayor, Bill White.

Despite the guarantee of 100,000 jobs in his first 2 years as Governor or he’d resign, was not enough to convince Democratic voters that he should be the man to challenge Rick Perry for the Governor’s mansion.

Former Houston Mayor, Bill White was the obvious choice for Democratic voters. Latest results show Bill White received 80% of the Democratic votes in Dallas County, to Farouk Shami’s 11%.

Perhaps the biggest surprise of the night came in the race for Dallas County Judge. Well known Ellis

March 5, 2010

County attorney, Clay Jenkins who was endorsed by some of the biggest names in local, county and State politics finds himself in an unexpected runoff against Larry Duncan, former Dallas City Council member and current President of Dallas County Schools Board.

Jenkins who spent more than $300,000 dollars wasn’t able to garner the 51% needed to win the County Judge nomination.

Jenkins received 49.82% to Duncan’s 29.71%. The two of them will go head to head in a runoff election on April 13th.

The winner of the runoff on the Democratic side will face Republican Wade Emmert in the November general Farouk Shami election.

Other run offs on April 13th include the Judge of the 134th Judicial District between Dale Tillery and David Kelton. Susan Anderson and Teresa Hawthorne will face a runoff for Judge in the 203rd Judicial District. Attorney Etta J. Mullin, will face a runoff against Hector H. Garza for Judge of County Criminal Court No. 5; Brenda Hull Thompson and Margret Jones – Johnson for Judge of the County Probate Court No.1. Tina Yoo and Lashica Walton-Barnes in a run off for Judge of County Criminal Court No. 8; embattled County Constable of Precinct No. 5, will face a runoff against Beth Villareal.

The other surprise of the night came when Incumbent Judge David Hanschen of the 254th Judicial District court was defeated by James Martin.

Constable Derrick Evans, Judge Tracy Holmes, William “Bill” Mazur, Jr. were successful in their bids for re-election. Judge Valencia Nash was unopposed in her bid for Justice of the Peace Precinct 1, Place 2; while Judge Thomas Jones won handily over Sylvia Rhodes – Bradley for the Justice of Peace Precinct 1; Place 1.

CITY BEAT NOTES FROM UNION HOPE

Statement by Farouk Shami

“The Extravagance of Love” Sunday we celebrated our 41st church anniversary. This was a great day as we remembered the founders and members that have gone on to be with the Lord. We were blessed to see many of the former members of our church who have relocated but Eld. Lloyd returned for this day. Our T. Morgan church school lesson was “Anointed by a Woman in Bethany” Matt.

26:6-13. This lesson was described to us as “The Extravagance of Love” because this woman did not take into account the price of the ointment that she poured upon Christ, this was not protocol, but an act of love displayed spontaneously by this woman. We were reminded that real Love does not calculate cost. Many times we declare our love for someone but keep an account of all that we do for them, but real love when it has done its best feels it

PAGE 14

was inadequate. The disciples that stood around was thinking in terms of the value of the ointment and what could have been done for the poor, Jesus said the poor will always be with us. This act was memorialized; Jesus said wherever this gospel is preached mention will be made of this woman and her act of love. Pastor L.T.Morgan delivered the morning message “The unifying power of purpose” from Amos 3:3. Sometimes we fail to do the “work of the church” because we do not embrace the single purpose of the church in the earth. “Why does the church exist?” Some have turned Church into an entertainment center, so people come expecting to be entertained by the choir, the preacher, the praise dancers, and never hear the Gospel. When this happens the church has to keep coming up with something new to attract. Isn’t Jesus attractive enough? Isn’t He the reason for the church’s existence?

Be blessed

"I want to thank each and every person who has given their time, energy and votes to my campaign for Governor of Texas. Although this wasn't the outcome we'd hoped for, do not get discouraged.

A defeat is only a defeat if you let it stop you. I will not let today's results stop me. Although I will not be our nominee for Governor, I will continue to fight for those I have met on the campaign trail. I will continue to fight to bring jobs to Texas. I will continue to fight for equality in our education system. I will continue to support candidates who fight for all Texans.

I ask for each of you to join me. Do not give up hope. Continue to support the cause. Eventually, we will overcome all obstacles and accomplish our goal, real change for Texas.

Thank you again for your support.

It means the world to me, more than I can ever express in words."

County Line Missionary Baptist Church Van, Texas Black History Program

On Sunday, February 28, 2010, Rev. Ralph Massey, Pastor of County Line Missionary Baptist Church, Van, Texas, Sister Latrell Bryant and the members held their Annual Black History Month Program, including honoring African American businesses.

When reflecting on the collective reasons we celebrate black history month, we are amazed and appreciative at all the history our forbearers have left us to ponder. There are a million reasons to say thank you to the people who have given so much to our city, state, and our nation. Most times, we forget just how important and how strong the men and women were who blazed the trail really had to be. We are constantly looking for more people (men, women, boys and girls) who served above and beyond the call of duty for us and our country and in our communities. It’s so important that we embrace the businesses that exist within our communities because without the businesses, it’s difficult for a thriving community to exist. That’s why we take this time each year to at least say thank you to these individuals.

In 2009, Jordan means to embrace businesses in the Blair was an honoree and this year the community. Sister Bryant understands he was the guest speaker. Mrs. Latrell that supporting businesses helps the Bryant said that they enjoyed Jordan so community to thrive. We salute Sister much that they wanted him back again Latrell Bryant and Rev. Ralph Massey for this year. Jordan comes with his own putting together this annual program, personal flavor loaded with lots of high energy. To add to the flavor, Jordan Blair honoring African American businesses.

Not only does this program take and his son Harrison sang in a cappella a place annually, Sister Latrell Bryant and duet titled, Hold On Change Is Coming.

Hill, Continued from Page 6 We heard Hill imply that the FBI planted evidence in his home when they raided it. He lied under oath and said that the fax machine taken into evidence was not his. When the FBI presented receipts that Hill had received the fax machine from Dallas City Hall, he continued to try to convince the jury he got the fax machine after the date in question when receipts showed the fax machine was purchased the previous year. We heard Hill tell Sheila not to refer to him as “her Man” because he was her attorney and she may have to go under oath one day. (I suspect in anticipation of a divorce or income tax hearing.) The Jurors and the public were reminded that Hill had been sanctioned by the State Bar for trying to beat his law clients out of their money. He tried to beat the IRS out they money, and that the water at his wife’s home got cut off for nonpayment while he was extorting $174,000.00”.

There were over 160 witnesses that were interviewed by the FBI. Can you imagine the terror, these otherwise law abiding citizens were subjected to. Don was offered a 5 year plea bargain. He choose to drag everybody down in court and have these embarrassing tapes played before the public. Leo Chaney’s mom died worrying about her son. I can go on and on and on. Can YOU get it.?

Young Harrison created the music with his voice as well as joined in occasionally to sing the song with Jordan. “It’s quite an honor to be asked to come and share my thoughts on Black History,” said Mr. Blair. “Being a business owner, I totally understand the concept of giving back to the community. That’s what the Elite News commits to doing on a regular basis because we appreciate those businesses and individuals who patronize the Elite News.”

This year’s theme “We Need to Come Together,” was based on Acts 2:44; “And all that believed were together, and had all things common.” The message was clear, that all people should come together to help one another.

Honorees for this 2010 Black History Program were: Mr. Nathaniel Kennedy (Real Estate); Mrs. Yolanda Mims (Probation Officer); Mrs. Bobbie Jackson (Affordable Bail Bonds); Mr. Patrick Sullivan (Int’l Suits); Mr. and Mrs. Sammie Lindsey (the Crimson Door); Mr. Henry Jackson (Smith County Constable Pct. 1); and Tracy Johnson (The Corvette Club).
