Back in my grade school days you were told to clean the blackboards if you didn’t do your work or obey the teacher. Every time you did something wrong (breaking the rules) our teacher would write your name in the upper right hand corner of the blackboard. Mine was usually up there for talking and I had to stay in at recess and clean the blackboards. Cleaning those blackboards is somewhat like sinning. Every time we break God’s rules or fail to obey Him it is recorded in books in Heaven, (Revelation 20:12).

Dear Editor:

I see the House of Representatives in Austin has killed School Choice Vouchers for private schools, thanks to Democrats and 31 Republican Rinos.

Well, well, how interesting. Forty percent of elementary and middle school students in Houstin are failing with DYF averages. Money can’t buy academic achievement.
