Opinions

Greetings my friends, neighbors, and constituents of the State of Missouri’s 155th District. We had a busy week in Jefferson City. I think most people agree that this upcoming election will be one of the most important in the history of our state and country. There were a great deal of questions...
John 14:19 - A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also.    Thousands of years before the birth of Christ; God's servant, Job, wanted to write a testimony in a book or engrave the words in stone, "I know that my Redeemer...
This past week, I made a post on my Facebook wall regarding the appearance of a couple of buildings in downtown Willow Springs. A few minutes later, I was tagged in a post on the Willow Springs Community Support page. An anonymous person did not like my opinion and attacked my character and...
The Willow Springs Alumni gatherings began a long time ago by Sadie Ruth Ferguson. There was a little cookout one evening and a banquet in the old gym the next.

After much prayer and thought, I’ll be coming back home from the Missouri Capitol at the end of this year.  With a smile on my face, I’ll also be withdrawing my name from the race for Missouri State Representative, 154th District.  I should have made this decision earlier, but sometimes God has...
