He shall direct thy paths. The inner person, being unchanged, will continue to act out prejudices and injustice toward others, unchecked by a moral compass. As we prepare to enter into the next millennium, now is the time for our city to stand up and let everyone know that discrimination against race, color, natural origin, sex, sexual persuasion, age, disability, religious or political beliefs is not welcome in Ardmore. We can have a unified city and move forward with God's continued blessings. Our civic condition can not be strong if our families remain weak.
Stronger families mean stronger communities, and stronger communities means less crime.
We need to increase the number of whole families. We need more to walk the walk and less to talk the talk. I strongly encourage each of us to be slow to criticize those who are working hard to improve the quality of life for Ardmore. Criticism neither corrects the problems, nor does it promote growth. If we are to succeed, we must come together in unity, for without unity, there can be no community.
