County commissioners approve application to rezone tract of land

Body
A great deal of ground was covered at the Howard County Courthouse last Thursday morning during a regular meeting of the Howard County Board of Commissioners that lasted well into the afternoon. The longest single item on the commissioners’ agenda last week, and the item to garner the largest public turnout, was a public hearing regarding a rezoning application to rezone a roughly 78.34acre tract of land located on the north half of the southwest corner of Section 25, Township 14, Range 10 West—south of Gun Ranch Road off of United States Route 281—from predominantly A1 to entirely A2.

Be Your Best

The Bible tells us that God has given each of us different gifts and that He wants us to use these gifts in accordance with the grace that He has bestowed upon us. When we think about these special gifts that someone may possess, we naturally think about great talents like those of a famous artist, or a skilled surgeon. However, most of us have more common everyday gifts that we are required to use in our daily lives. We should try to recognize and take pride in the different gifts and talents that our Heavenly Father has given to us, and we should use these offerings for His glory. Whether we are given the gift of being a parent, a teacher, or a taxi driver, we should try to do our very best, and we should always be appreciative of God’s caring love for us. Our Lord wants the best for us, and our serving others, refl ects our love for Him.
