AUSTIN–SenatorLois W Kolkhorst(R-Brenham) hasfiledSenateBill147to address growing concerns in protecting Texas land against foreign governmentownership.
Further examples of foreign purchases of land are occurring all over the United States in states like Florida and North Dakota.
In Florida, a Chinesebacked corporation purchased 1,400 acres in Levy County for a primate r e s e a r c h facility Concerned with this purchase, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has taken executive action to curb the future purchase of any property near military bases and other agriculture properties acrossthestate.
The past several years have seen more Texans alarmed by the increased acquisition of land by primarily Chinese interests. Examplesincludethe purchase in 2021 of over 130,000 acres in South Texas by a Chinesecontrolled firm The massiveparceloflandnear LaughlinAirForceBasein DelRioisnowownedbya former member of the Chinese communist army In North Dakota another company backed
bytheChinesegovernment purchased 300 acres this past spring – just miles from Grand Forks Air ForceBase.
Kolkhorst's Senate Bill 147 builds on SB 2116 which passed the Texas Legislature unanimously in 2021 and protects critical infrastructure against contracts with certain countries. Mirroring that legislation, Senate Bill147alsonamesChina, Iran, North Korea and Russia as countries prohibited from future purchasesofTexaslands.
IfSB147weretopass,it would prohibit any future purchase of or otherwise
acquiring title to real property in the state of Texas by governments or entitiesaffiliatedwiththese countriesortheircitizens.
"The growing ownershipofTexaslandbysome foreign entities is highly disturbing and raises red flags for many Texans," said Senator Kolkhorst "By comparison, as an American go try to buy land near a Chinese militarybaseandseehowit worksoutforyou.Itwould never happen there and it shouldn't happen here Passing this law delivers some basic safeguards to ensure Texans remain in controlofTexasland."

Offeringthisbenefit willplayapartinattracting and retaining talent to combat the workforce shortage that our State is facing. In fact research indicates that women who are offered paid parental leavearemuchmorelikely to return to the workforce after having a child However, the passage of such a bill would do far more than just that -- it highlights the necessity of paidleavefornewmothers and will encourage other private employers to follow suit. Texas should be a leader in supporting mothers and their babies, and one part of this is allowingmotherspaidtime off in that critical window following birth
term, this type of policy will promote maternal mentalandphysicalhealth and reduce health care costs for the State, while promoting healthy child development -- a cornerstoneforastrongstateand arobusteconomy
This is why I recently filed SB 222, requiring that all state employees be given mandatory paid time off after the birth or adoption of a child. The details of thisproposalwillundoubtedlybedebatedandrefined over the session, but my guiding principle is this: the State of Texas should beexploringwaystobetter support mothers and children, and parental leave is an important part ofthatconversation.

Readingthesebeautiful stories surrounding the birthofJesuseachyearin December brings a sense of wonder and awe. But each piece of the story of Jesus’ birth and then His lifecountsfortheamazing beginning of His life on earth.
As we follow the planned and holy events that God set up, we read howtheangelsofGodhad to show up to announce andsingtoallofmankind about this totally and amazingeventinthelives ofmenonearth.
The star that led the wise men to Jesus in Bethlehem“stoodoverthe place where the child was Matthew 2:9
ANGELICMESSENGERS, WARNINGS,ANDDIRECTIONS
There were several
encounters when an angel appeared to Joseph to direct the holy family awayfromHerod,theking who wanted to kill the newbornJesusChrist.
The next encounter came when the wise men left the Holy family with their treasures they had brought from afar Here is what happened The Holy family was sleeping We read:
“Now when they had gone, behold, an angel of theLordappearedto Josephinadream and said, ‘Get up!’ Take the Child and His mother and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you,forHerodisgoingto
AreaChurches
search for the Child to destroy Him.’ “ Matthew 2:13.
JosephknewGodwas stillsendingangelstohim in dreams to protect their Son.Sohefollowedthose directions and tricked Herod,theking.
At the right time, Herod died Again, the angeloftheLordcameina dreamtoJosephtotellhim togobackintoIsrael.
Isn’t it wonderful how our God is able to intervene His purposes to us in so many ways through dreams, visions, and prophets to let us know when danger is coming?
I’m very aware of God’s intervening in my
MethodistChurch
life, several times So when the Bible tells me all the times He had to send Joseph an angel to guide someone, I believe that!Wecanbelieveevery wordinourBibleistrue.It tells us that when Joseph was, then again, given a direction to go to the regionofGalilee,hechose togotothecityofGalilee. Hethen,ourBibletellsus, that confirmed prophetic wordsoffulfillinganother prophecythatsaid: “He shall be called a ‘Nazarene ’ “ Matthew2:23.
So, in the life of Jesus, we can look at the Lord Jesus and how God directed, changed directions, and relocated
the Holy Family s
locationstofinallyendup in Nazareth. Why was it important that Jesus should be called a Nazarene? Let’s see why.”
