Point II: The Gospel Truth
A long time reader was livid about
tbe restrictions imposed by the
management at the Point East
Apartments on E. Houston and I H
10.
The Woman has resided in the
apartments (which were formerly
Second Baptist Arms), for more
than 10 years. She says the rules are
a form of "slavery for us."
Some of the rales are a 10 pm.
curfew for adults as well as children. -
"We can't sit on our patios or balco-
nies after 10 p.m. If security guard
writes you up three times for being
out after curfew, you face eviction.
No foul language is to be spoken on
the premises which is a violation of
the First Amendment-freedom of
speech. No alcoholic beverages are
to he consumed on the premises. If
you do drink, you must put the
alcohol in a cup or glass-no cans or
bottles in your hand.
"At re-certification time, we are
forced to sign a document stating no
criminal activity or drugs is going
oo in our apartment.
"We had a swimming pool for the
residents since tbe inception of the
complex and when this new company
took over, they drained and filled the
it with sand to save on maintenance.
"These are only a few of the
atrocities we have to live under."
The woman ended her letter by
saying "I have filed a complaint with
the Attorney General's office and an
investigation is under way." ?
The woman called to make sure
that Register received her letter, and
she added that cars have been dam-
aged since residents must be in by
10.
"Several cars have been stolen and
others have been vandalized," she
claimed. "Because we are not sitting
out side and everyone must be,
thievescan have their way over here,"
she added.
It is unfair to be under South Africa
type conditions. Register will contact
the property'smanageraboutthe rules
and regulations. Hopefully, we can
give you and other residents some
good news next week.

Fluoridated Water:
Good for your teeth

Rev, Kirbyjon Caldwell
Methodist University-Perkins
School ofTbeology and m honorary
doctoroflaws from HustonTiUotson
College. Caldwell and the commu-
nity outreach ministries of Windsor
Village have been featured hi several
publications, including the Wall
Street Journal and Fortune.
In his book Caldwell said he fre-
quently offers his congregation a
simple formula for determining if
they' re already involved in a* God
blessed relationship. These are three
simple parameters.
!) The relationship meet your needs,
2) The relationship is growing. 3)
The relationship does not require
your constantly asking God for for-
giveness.
Caldwell said God blessed rela-
tionship are very simple, very clean
partnerships; the partners love each
other, meet each other's need, g row
in their love and act in accordance
with God's will. Dysfunctional rela-
tionships in contrast are complicated
messes. They tend to be dictatorship
instead of partnenhps, jumbles of
Satanic stuff, peppered with argu-
ments and constantly clouded in
confusion. Once you can step outside
of your emotions and look at your
relationship analytically, youH im-
mediately know if it's a God blessed,
or Satan cursed."
