Outloop Could Push Traffic Towards Slaton
by Mark Meurer
Living in Dallas, ten years ago while serving on a special committee,I heard about the plans for an outer-loop around a portion of Lubbock that would feed traffic into the Slaton community. Now years later we are starting to see some of the plans being presented to the public. Precinct 2 County Commissioner Mark Heinrich will hold a Town Hall meeting Feb 3 4:30-6:00 PM at the Slaton Club house discussing the plan. You are encouraged to attend. Another meeting is scheduled for Tuesday Feb 4, 5:30 PM at the Lubbock Cooper High School Performing Arts Center. These meetings are open to the public. The Feb 4th meeting will be more extensive and in-depth.
SLATON GATEWAY MONUMENT – Leaps Forward!
It won’t be long and a gateway marker at the entrance to the community will start being built. Several folks from the community have been involved in the development. Thanks to each of you. During the process… The excitement has already yielded significant contributions for the project. Additional fund raising will take place over the next few months.
Location: As you are traveling down 84 towards Slaton from Lubbock, in the bypass triangle area where the bypass downtown exit exist and 84 splits.
At the Senior Citizens Center
SPOTLIGHTING SENIORS
By Janet James
Food for thought – Don’t sweat the small stuff – and it’s all small stuff.
Just for Laughs – “I hope you didn’t take it personally, Reverend,” an embarrassed woman said after church service. “When my husband walked out during your sermon.”
“I did find it rather disconcerting,” the preacher replied.
“It’s not a reflection on you, sir,” insisted the churchgoer. “Ralph has been walking in his sleep ever since he was a child.”
We had 1 table for our monthly 42 game. Those playing were Margaret Philips, Imogene Davis, Sandy Goodner, and Jimmie Pettigrew. Next monthly 42 game will be Tues. Feb. 18 at 1:00. Mark your calendar and come and fill up 4 tables.
To the Jew First, Then the Gentile (Rom 1:16-17)
By: Curtis Baker
Here is a true statement: the gospel (good news) of Jesus Christ is for everyone! Here is an equally true statement: the gospel is essentially a Jewish story. How can these two statements be true at the same time? I’m glad you asked. The answer is a very important one.
To answer this question appropriately we have to go back and catch the whole sweep of the Biblical story. To sum it up, the story of the Bible is the story of how God has pursued the task of redeeming creation. The creation, of course, had gone so horribly wrong because of human sin. Human beings decided they wanted to be their own master, rather than submit willingly to God, and therefore God cursed the earth because of their rebellion. In the book of Genesis, this rebellion ultimately leads to the world becoming a wicked and violent place, which God determines he must destroy (save one family!) if he is going to have any shot at salvaging his purposes for creation. But after God destroyed the world with a flood, he then made a promise to Noah that he intends to keep: never again will he destroy all of mankind again with a flood. Instead, God had chosen to take an alternative route–he was going to redeem the human race.
