Between legislative sessions, we hold interim studies to evaluate issues affecting Oklahomans. I have requested two myself, which will look into issues affecting our agricultural producers and public schools. The first study will be heard by the Finance Committee and will seek to understand the issues and inconsistencies those with an agricultural sales tax exemption are experiencing at retailers.

It came with the promise that Jesus would! “bring” all to “to God” who relied on Jesus’ sacrifice — no more distance between God and us, no intermediaries between God and us. Jesus is heaven’s open door and God’s open heart saying, “Come home; I’ve been waiting for you.”
