Jesus gives us the power of redirection
Jesus gives us the power of redirection
Sometimes in this life we need redirection. Oftentimes this is nuanced with concepts of utter life changing, habit altering, intense psychological changes. But that is usually in extreme cases. What I want to talk about today is the subtle ways we can redirect ourselves towards Christ and by the same token redirect others through our daily interactions with people. 03/21/2025 09:10 AM

Making Texas housing affordable again
We can all agree: Texas must never turn into California. Californians are struggling due to the high cost of living and excessive taxes – not to mention their radical liberal government and culture. Some of you may even have fled from states like California to find a safe refuge in conservative, free Texas. 03/19/2025 11:00 PM

Still catching ‘eater size’ catfish
X On those days that we can get on the lake, we’re still fishing for and catching lots of “eater size” blue and channel catfish! Our fishing has been limited due to regular cool fronts bringing rain and wind to the lake area. Yesterday was one of those cool early mornings with light winds until about 11 a.m. I took the opportunity to fish with a foursome of senior citizens who had been wanting to get a trip in for a couple of weeks. The guys all live in the Fairfield area and have fished with us before. We had a GREAT morning, enjoyed numerous fish tales, and filled the Ice Chest with Catfish! (See Pic) We continue to fish for catfish as the white bass and hybrid striper bite is very slow. It’s my bet that the white bass will be back to the main lake area in the next week or so as they are now “Up the Creeks” conducting their annual spawning ritual! No surprise as to where we are catching our catfish as the timber on the Richland Creek arm of the lake is our “Go To Spot” all winter and early spring. We’re fishing with Mr. Whiskers Cheese Punch Bait on a # 4 Treble Hook fished on or near the bottom in 30 feet of water. 03/14/2025 03:38 PM
