Spend time with the Lord because without him, we are nothing
It was a very busy week last week for me. I spent the week in Groesbeck covering the Limestone County Fair. It was a great week. I love taking pictures and capturing memories that will last a lifetime. Although I only got a couple of hours of sleep a night, I am ready to do it again next year. Thank you Limestone County for having me over for the third straight year to cover your county fair. 04/02/2025 11:00 PM

You’ll see numerous places of worship that meet at various times of the week and offer a variety of methods and practices with which to grow in our knowledge of God. For some there will be the claim, “Look at all these different churches, these Christians can’t agree on anything!” They might have even seen the name outside the building and cast judgment without even stepping inside! “Oh, that’s a Baptist church, I know what THEY believe!” Oh, those are Methodists, I’ve heard some things about them!
