The Texas Legislature begins its work creating a state budget for the next two years with slightly less revenue available than it had during the previous biennium.
It seems no matter how old I am I always remember certain things from my childhood. Most pertain to what my father and mother told me. What I heard a lot was “mind your tongue, young lady!” I admit, I was stubborn and wanted my own way most of the time (well, actually, all of the time). When I would sound off, I was in trouble. I didn’t learn my lesson about controlling my tongue until much later in life. It was after I observed what a powerful weapon the tongue can be. It’s a double- edged sword, capable of tearing a person apart or building a person up.
