The Lord Gives…And Takes Away?
The Lord Gives…And Takes Away?
“Dr. Dixie, we’ve experienced a tragic death in our family. We’ve repeatedly heard various versions of, “The Lord gives and takes away. His ways are beyond our understanding. We shouldn’t question His plans.” I know people intend to comfort us, but that statement is like putting a knife in and twisting it! Is God really responsible? Who can we trust, if God takes our loved ones away from us?” 05/02/2023 04:00 AM

SWIFT Receives $9Million USDA Grant, Meat and Poultry Expansion
The Southwest Intermediary Finance Team (SWIFT) has received a $9 million grant from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) for meat and poultry processing expansion in Southwestern Oklahoma. SWIFT is a private nonprofit corporation that aims to increase economic activity and employment in Southwestern Oklahoma’s rural communities by lending to small businesses and is housed in the Business Enterprise Center on Southwestern Oklahoma State University’s (SWOSU) Weatherford campus. In total, the USDA granted $14 million in funds to aid meat and poultry processors in Oklahoma who have struggled to meet demand during the COVID-19 pandemic as people stocked up on meat. SWIFT plans to use its portion of the funds to expand meat and poultry processing facilities, with bison as part of the meat processing options to support Native American tribes involved in small businesses with meat processing. 04/25/2023 11:00 PM
