THE CROSS ON ALMEDA ROAD
A small cross with flowers on Hwy. 521 near Foxshire is a reminder of the tragic death of Serina “Misti” Stewart at 12:15 am. July 5, 2015. Misti lost her life while trying to save a life of someone she didn’t know. She was trying to pull a person out of danger when she was hit by first one car and then another one. Born June 14, 1979, Misti had recently celebrated her 37th birthday. Her friends say she was always there when someone asked for help. She leaves behind three children.
GRAND OPENING OF META SUPER MARKET

FT. BEND HOMEOWNERS SAY 10% TOO HIGH
A group of residents from Ft. Bend County have been leading an effort to bring awareness and change regarding home/land appraisals from increasing to as much as 10% a year. People are fearful of being taxed out of their homes. Over 2000 residents are involved and state reps are taking notice. The tax rate is irrelevant if the Appraisal board increases the taxes by elevating the value by 10% every year. They believe the appraisal district is inconsistent. We ask our representatives for assistance in "auditing" their operations and providing transparency to the reasons behind our appraisal values. All Texas citizens are asked to consider signing the petition. It's time for our representatives and taxing authorities to take greater accountability regarding budgets and transparency. To sign the petition and get more info go to Allison.walla@deltarefractories.com.
MY RIGHTS WERE TRAMPLED
Recently I was denied service at a grocery store in Almeda. Normally I try to be presentable when I go anywhere but I had made a quick dash to get someone to work. Since it was early I thought I could dash into the store for one item before anybody noticed my appearance. But the security guard noticed, “You can’t come in barefoot.”
“I came in this store barefoot before you were born.” Where is the manager?”
“It is a health regulation,” he said. “I’m sorry.”
For a moment I considered ignoring him... no he is a lot bigger than I am, so I stomped (actually you don’t stomp when you are barefoot) out of the store.
He took the money and brought the milk to the door. I did not deserve that kindness. My self righteous indignation evaporated. Proverbs 12:15 says “The way of a fool is right in his own eyes.” Officers, who have the job of enforcing rules when we act like a fool, are really special. They don’t arrest us for displaying love, joy, peace, goodness, gentleness, faith, patience and meekness. They deserve our respect. I was rebellious, but I was not guilty of complaining nor was I late for Bible study, because a man in authority forgave my rudeness.
God is good. I am thankful He forgives his children. We never have the right to be rude but if want to...

CINDY and DANIEL MOSES
Cindy and Daniel are the managers of North Point at 3126 Ward Street where at the present 13 residents, mostly people with disabilities and a few non-violent persons on parole, are residing. Cindy and her husband, Daniel, opened February 14, 2015. Cindy had spent the previous 20 years working as a CNA in a hospital and a nursing home with 60 occupants in Missouri. She is glad to be in a warmer climate as cold weather increases the pain she suffers from rheumatoid arthritis caused in part by the years she spent as a gymnastic. She and Daniel were married in 1983 and together they have nine children.
Although Cindy is only one inch over five feet, her energy level is ten feet high. She does all the cooking, most of the washing, dispensing medicine, including injections, even bathing a resident in a wheelchair, and keeping an eye out for those that need a little extra care, or sometimes just a friend to talk to. The residents are free to leave but she asks them not to leave until they have a plan rather than get mad and take off.
Some of the residents are on Medicaid so they can afford to go to the Good Old Days Program by Art Levy. To Cindy all her residents are angels. If you would like to see a big smile on her face just drive up to 3126 Ward street with sheets, towels, silverware, blankets, clothes, plastic cups, etc. You may call first 832 416 3130.
You may recognize that the house is the one Mr. and Mrs. Ward bought from Mr. Anderson and moved from Anderson Rd. It is over 100 years old

If you are laughing, send me your smile. If you are eating, send me a bite.
If you are drinking, send me a sip.
If you are crying, send me your tears.
I love you."

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Almeda’s Wyatt Earp just celebrated his 70th birthday July 7th. He hasn’t retired for he still runs the plastic recycling company and sells wood for BBQ. In the first issue of Our News, he put in a 1/4 page ad for antiques and continued for the next 18 months. His ad kept Our News from going bankrupt as the paper started with only $100. Wyatt, sure hope your birthday was great!
Modern Day Daniel Boone
They might not be able to trap bears but several men are earning as much as $1000 a week during the winter months trapping feral hogs according to Wilton Curry who buys them. Curry has one of Texas Approved Feral Swine Holding Facilities in Rosenberg. He hauls live hogs to San Antonio where they are processed by a company that sells the meat overseas where it is considered a delicacy.
He cannot accept a dead hog but for hogs weighing 40 to 60 pounds he pays 10 cents a pound, 61 to 100 lbs. 35 cents, over 100 lbs, 45 cents a pound plus a head bonus of $5 for 100 lb hog, over 150 lbs. $10 and over 200 lbs a bonus of $12.50.
Trap a dozen hogs in your spare time and you could earn $1,000.
Of course, prices change but you can contact Wilton Curry at 3039 N Bar Lane Rosenberg 77471 or call 281 808 0597.
YOU DON’T SAY
Our government is of the lobbyist, by the lobbyist and for the lobbyist according to Senator Ted Cruz, noting that lobbyist are responsible for a vote to extend the Export Import Bank which in essence is corporate welfare for several companies at the expense of taxpayers. Lobbyist give campaign money to Dems. and Rep.
Career politicians are more concerned about keeping their job than doing their job. They will never pass a bill for term limits but voters need to retire Republican Senator John Cornyn and Democrat Representative Al Green. They’ve been there too long.
A NORMAL PARENT
Parents normally love their children and want love in return. With love, they tell the child to brush their teeth, don’t eat dirt, etc. They want obedience from their child for the good of the child. They know the child will not always obey, since they have inherited a nature which wants its own way. So when the kid disobeys and gets hurt, the parent is there with medicine or maybe just a kiss to make it feel better or if necessary a switch to teach them to do what is right.
A loving parent reflects the love of God toward us. No parent would expect obedience if the child has not been told what to do, nor does God. So he told certain men to write down the rules that would help us live the kind of life that would in the long run make us happy and bring glory to God.
None of us keep all the rules all the time so we are not in a position to judge one another. But if we break the rules we should never deny that God’s rules are good. Just as our children bring us joy or grief, our actions bring joy or grief to our heavenly Father.
Rules for a small child are not necessary for a teenager just as the rules in Leviticus concerning animal sacrifice are no longer needed. Animal sacrifice had prepared God’s people to understand that God is a God of justice and to look forward to his promise of sending a person who will clean us from our sins. The wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23)
The rule to honor your parents does not change with age nor do the other moral rules such as lying, stealing, killing, deviations of God’s design for sex, or anything we might do that dishonors our heavenly Father who happens to be omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent.
