Our Heavenly Father has a firm grasp and won’t let us go
Our Heavenly Father has a firm grasp and won’t let us go
I know that all of us, from time to time, lose something of value, something of importance. Perhaps it’s some keys, or some money, or even directions on how to get somewhere. And many times it’s simply because we have “misplaced” the object of importance, and so we rejoice when we can find that certain object, which is usually “right where we left it”. Now, in the case of age, as our mind and body gets a lot older, we find ourselves in one room, remembering that we need to get something else out of another room, but as soon as we walk out of the first room, we immediately forget what we are looking for! Can I get an “Amen” here? What I usually do in such times is to return to my room of origin, and once there, gather my memory again of what I need to go after, and then I move to the other room to retrieve it. You “youngsters” will one day understand what I am talking about. What has been “lost”, has been “found”, and then, with effort, “saved”. 08/22/2024 07:59 AM

TPWD’s Area Lakes Fishing Report
TPWD’s Area Lakes Fishing Report
Athens – SLOW. Water normal stain; 87 degrees; 0.34 feet above pool. Bass have been slow and scattered. Best options are outside grass lines on windy banks. Jigs and shaky-head worms are working, but you will need to cover a lot of water. Some bass are schooling. Crappie are slow as well. The night bite on deep brush with minnows is the most consistent pattern. Report by Jim Brack, Athens Guide Service. 08/14/2024 08:57 PM
Brush hogging an overgrown pasture during the height of fawning season from May through early July can be risky business. If possible, it’s better to wait until later in summer. Fawns will be more mobile and wary by then. Walking a field beforehand is never a bad idea. Photo by Matt Willia...
