Chip and Joanna Gaines hit television show “The Fixer Upper” created a brand for the city of Waco as the hosts revitalizing old, rundown houses. These houses are now unaffordable for the poor community.

In 2014 10 years ago the average rent in Waco was $600-$750 and the cost of groceries was $40-$70 on average for one person a week, which means students living off campus would spend around $1,050 on groceries and rent a month. These numbers have only risen since then.

Waco’s former premier sporting venue hosted professional baseball teams, historic integration games and even the town’s first presidential visit. Its legacy, though tainted, tells the story of the town it called home.

All Are Neighbors, held in the Cashion Academic Center, drew 270 ticketed attendees, totaling 352 people, including VIP guests and speakers, nearly filling all available seats. The event was created in response to TPUSA’s presence on campus, but speakers and organizers consistently emphasized that the gathering was not merely reactive. Instead, it functioned as a faith-centered call to action, rooted in Christian teaching and expressed through civic engagement.

Whether you live 50 miles or 500 miles from home, it can be all too easy to take the “out of sight, out of mind” approach when it comes to your relationships. Maybe you have time constraints or maybe you just plain forget, and there may always be a reason not to call home. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t.

Ten million men and women suffer from domestic violence each year. Many young people think they have a good grasp on healthy relationships, but abusive behaviors are often common, discreet and highly rationalized. Coming up in October, Domestic Violence Awareness Month, there’s no better time to get educated on a critical topic for our generation.

Attending an event where the cost of a full table is $275,000 with an economic justice message plastered on the back of an expensive, fancy dress while rubbing elbows with society’s elite is, at best, a bad look politically — but, at worst, it is an exposure of a deep character flaw.

When people think of tarot cards, most think of psychics telling the future. No one believes in what they truly do. They’re a Halloween activity that adds to the spookiness of the season. However, to people’s disbelief, they do not predict your future. The truth is nothing really can, but tarot cards can be wonderful tools that can offer you spiritual guidance when you need it, and they certainly aren’t demonic.
