TSA Admin- istrator John Pistole announced the formal opening of the TSA Pre-check Enrollment Center in Terminal D Friday, April 11. “This is the first airport location in the State of Texas,” Pistole said. “TSA Pre-check is part of our risk based security formula that lets us get away from the one-size-fits- all construct that TSA was given after 9/11. The benefits of TSA Pre-check for those who travel more than just a couple of times a year is that we do pre-screening of you so that you can go to a dedicated lane.” At DFW there are eight such lanes. “What that means is that you keep your shoes on, you keep your belt on, keep a light jacket on,” Pistole said. “Keep your laptop in With DFW Executive Vice President Jim Crites by his your carry-on bag along with liquids in your side, TSA Administrator John Pistole answers media carry-on bag.

t is amazing how the human body is designed to work together for the best out- Icome of one’s life. Many times we fail to understand how to incorporate all parts of the body to produce the necessities of life. In other words, the power of God cannot be ful- ly unleashed through a Bishop “DD” person until Hayes their mind is renewed and Chapel News reminded of its spiritual nature. When a person renews his mind to walk in health, wholeness and happiness, he develops a newness of life. New patterns, new behaviors and new thoughts are generated to walk in harmony with the new mindset. Man was created a triune being, (body, soul, and spirit). The mind is intended to give expres- sion to the spirit, not to domi- nate the spirit of man. God intended for the spirit of a person to rule over the soul (mind, will, and emotions) and body. The battleground for any person trying to do the right thing is found in their mind (thoughts). Your mind has to be renewed in order to bring your thoughts and ac- tions into submission. So here it is, most life and death situations are fought in the crevices of your own mind. As you go through life trying to make the best of it, allow God to assist you in making life deci- sions and choices. I pray the blessings of God rest upon you today and for- ever.
