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

Oil smooths out many things
Oil smooths out many things
There is an old saying thWhat do Russia, Iran and Venezuela have in common besides not having the best interests of their citizens in mind? The answer is a lot of oil revenue. Back when large royalty gas checks were flowing through Freestone County, my father-in-law referred to it as mailbox money, and that money, a lot of times, got treated differently than money you earned by dragging yourself out of the bed early in the morning and going somewhere to grind out a living. 08/22/2024 07:59 AM
