Giving Goo d(Example
by <J)avw( IM^eurer
In a section of the Sermon on the Mount (Matt. 5:13-18), Jesus
uses two symbols that stand for our Christian Faith that we receive
from Christ: salt and light. It is the mission of every Christian to be
salt and light to his neighbors, to give living witness to the message
of Christ. In his book.Companion God. George Montague tells of
the conversion of a young Hindu in India. When asked why be
became a Christain, he replied, "It was the example of the
Missionaries of Charity, (founded by Mother Teresa of Calcutta) in
their selfless work power motivated these women and men to give
up marriage, family, money and independance to spend the rest of
their livds in this kind of service. If Christ has that power - and they
said he did -1 wanted to find him." (p.69).
Jesus challenges us to be the salt of the earth. Salt makes bad
things taste good, and good things taste better. This means that our
example should help bad people to become good and good people
to become better. We can all think of a good person, a teacher for
example, whose words and example had a powerful influence for
good in our lives. What we do has much more influence than what
we say.
Christians are also called to be the light of the world. We should
try to imitate Jesus who said, "As long as I am in the world, i am the
light of the world. Light dispels darkness and the good example of
the Christian should dispel the darkness of sin. We should not hide
our faith and moral teachings unmder a bushel basket and pretend
to be like the pagans around us. in other words, it should be obvious
that we are Christians by the way that we live.

Texas Senate Review
Austin-Governor George W. Bush marked limited government,
education, and tax cuts as his goals this session in his State of the
State Address. A joint session of the Legislature convened in the
House Chamber for the event on Wednesday, January 27th.
Bush's priorities were echoed in the state budget he submitted the

porposing $2 billion in property tax cuts. Lt. Governor Rick Perry
believes it can happen and is ready to work with the Legislature
towards that goal.

"I'm going to be sending a clear message to the people of the State
of Texas, to the senators that indeed I think it's possible to have a
substantial tax relief for the people of the State of Texas", Perry
stated.
Perry referred over 100 bills, many on the governor's priority list, to
committees on Tuesday, January 26th. The bill to end social
promotion, Senate Bill (SB) 1, is in the hands of the education
committee chaired by Senator Teel Bivins of Amarillo. Later in the
week Perry sent two bills to assist businesses to the Finance
Committee, chaired by Senator Bill Ratliff of Mount Pleasant. The
corporate franchise tax bill sponsored by Senator Troy Fraser of
Horseshoe Bay and legislation providing a research and
development franchise tax credit or refund, both part of the
governor's agenda.
The Senate Democratic Caucus, chaired by Senator Gonzalo
Barrientos of Austin, supports the governor's focus on education,
with the exception of school vouchers. Democratic senators agree
that issues like health care, teacher pay, andy transportation are a
higher priority than tax cuts.

:lf you can’t get to work in Houston, Texas because the freeway in
inoperable, if you can’t adequately pay them, a tax relief of $150 per
household doesn't mean anything," said Houston Senator John
Whitmire.
Other senators express concern that the governor's property tax cut
plan will not benefit many citizens who are renters rather than
owners. These is also speculation among senators that providing
funding for education and other basic needs will not leave much for
tax cuts of any form.
Other legislation gaining attention this week attacked fraudulent
telemarketing and hate crimes. Barrientos filed legislation to fight
telemarketing fraud and unwanted telephone soliciatation with a "Do
Not Call" list. SB 120, and its companion, House Bill (HB) 537
carried by Debra Danburg of Houston, gives the Public Utility
Commission (PUC) enforcement authority.
"There is a more serious side than having your dinner interrupted,:
said Barrientos. "While we recognize telemarketing is a legitimate
business, fraudulent telemarketers are scamming Texas consumers
out of millions of dollars."

Representatives of the American Association of Retired Persons
(AARP) pledge their support. More than half the victims of
telemarketing fraud are 50 years of age or older.
Senator Rodney Ellis joined Representative Senfronia Thompson,
both of Houston, in filing hate crime legislation named for James
Byrd Jr., the victim of a brutal murder in Jasper. Legislators say SB
275, the James Byrd, Jr. Act, broadens and clarifies hate crime laws
already on the books, making those crimes easier to prosecute.
House Bill 148, by Thompson, is the companion bill.
The Texas Senate honored Dr. Michael DeBakey of Houston on
Monday, January 25th for fifty years of service as a surgeonand
educator at Baylor College of Medicine. DeBakey assisted in setting
up medical programs around the world.
This week the Senate had two visitors familiar with the chamber. Lt.
Governor Perry introduced former Texas Governor Preston Smith
on Tuesday, January 26th. He was in town for Lubbock Day
festivities. Smith served as Governor from 1969 to 1973 and as Lt.
Governor from 1963 to 1969. Later in the week former Senator Bill
Sims of San Angelo made an appearance with his wife, Sue.
With committee assignments, hundreds of bills waiting for
committee consideration, and knowledge of the governor's agenda,
the Senate is in the beginning stages of legislating for the turn of the
century in Texas.
The Senate reconvenes at 1:30. Monday, February 1.
American colonists found many oil wells while looking for salt Salt
makers regarded petroleum oil as a nuisance, but other people sold it
