OPINIONS ᏃᎵᏍᎬᎢ
COMMENTARY: EBCI needs separate judicial branch of government
In my experience with the Tribal Court system, I have concluded that the current governmental system woefully underserves the citizens of the EBCI.
SPEAKING OF FAITH: 2024: “Now” Words to Live By
The new year, 2024, is not so much to be about our country and all of what we are seeing that transpires in it. It is to be more about our own faith beliefs concerning our own lives, such as saying, “I am now a saved saint, according to and by the Most High God I am the Righteousness of God, in Christ Jesus.”
Faith Commentary: Hens and chicks
I am a father of two children who are now adults. They have given me three grandchildren. I have memories of the times my children have been hurt or became ill. I know how I felt when I could comfort them and soothe their hearts. God loves us more. He loves with a love only God can give. Only He can heal the sin-sick heart. May we never forget God’s love for us and His ability to comfort us and save us when we let Him.
