As we walk on our own journey to Emmaus, we encounter many obstacles, but we may also encounter Christ on our way.  It is difficult to know when that stranger we encounter on our journey is a messenger from Christ.  He may be asking for help or she maybe crying for assistance or it may just …

At least that’s the experience I had last weekend.

I’m writing regarding a recent Kingsville Record article about the KISD town hall meeting last month. I was quoted as asking what Dr. Reynolds-Perez was planning as far as stopping the bleeding with the great loss of over 1000 students over the last few years.  Her reply, and I quote: “I’m s…
