Controlling your world when all about you are non-functioning
For most of us, our coffee tables and end tables, the arms of our chairs, or the floor around and under most furniture is cluttered with not one, but several remote controls. Most of them are black, around six or seven inches long, and about as wide as the palm of a human hand. They fit comfortably in our hands so easily that we end up carrying them into another room, carrying them to the car with us, or maybe even dropping them in the garbage with that stack of mail from the afore mentioned chairs, tables, and floor.

Blue Sunday in Stephens County
The Stephens County Courthouse lawn displays 235 small, white crosses to honor the 235 children who have died from child abuse or neglect this past year in Region 2, which includes Stephens County and 29 other counties in Texas. These children died from abuse or neglect at the hands of their parents or legal guardians. Most of them were under the age of three. Members of the Stephens County Welfare Board worked tirelessly to display the small white crosses. There also are small cutouts of children, a large white cross, with two small animals and a sign explaining what you see.
Senate Budget Plan Receives Unanimous Support
The Texas Senate approved without objection a budget that preserves the educator pay raises and increased public school funding that were the centerpiece of the 2019 session. This was part of the $250.7 billion the body appropriated for spending over the next two years. That number includes $117.9 billion in state general revenue and represents a slight increase over the last biennial budget. That there weren’t cuts in the face of a full year of pandemic restrictions on Texas businesses is a testament to the state’s past fiscal policy, said Finance Committee chair and Flower Mound Senator Jane Nelson. “Throughout last year, things were looking pretty bleak,” she said. “But never underestimate Texas. We have proven our resiliency time after time and because of our commitment to smart fiscal policy, we are able to bring forward a budget that will keep Texas strong, safe, healthy, and prosperous.”
