A miracle among the sawdust on a Saturday
The trucks began arriving in the early morning of a crisp and cold Saturday. They came from all over town and pulled into the Brookshires Grocery Store parking lot, stepping out into the cold and shaking hands while huddled around an open tailgate. To the casual passerby, this appeared to be a strange fraternity of pickup truck owners gathered for their monthly meeting. But this group was gathered with a specific mission in mind. 01/31/2025 08:23 PM

Persevere and grow closer to Christ during the hard times…
Seven years ago on Feb. 2, 2018, Katy and I went out on a triple date at Rancho in Teague with Michael & Melissa Grissett and Jeremy & Adrian Little. We enjoyed dinner together and then Katy and I stayed in the parking lot for a while talking. The rest is history. There have been mountains and valleys over the past seven years, but I am so thankful that God gave me Katy as my wife. We have been through a lot, especially with COVID, but we keep pushing on as we try to draw closer to Christ. 01/31/2025 08:23 PM

On cusp of change in history
On cusp of change in history
In reading some of George Friedman’s book, “The Storm Before The Calm,” his view is that an era is coming to a close like every 50 years and we have rejuvenated at the end of prior cycles. In 1932 with the election of Franklin Roosevelt, a cycle of shifting economic resources from capital to labor began. This closed out the previous cycle of The Gilded Age where the rich dominated economic resources that became so egregious it came crashing down with the depression. The last president of this cycle was Jimmy Carter when U. S. industry had finally become non-competitive with the rest of the world. Remember when modern fuel-efficient Japanese vehicles began to flood the market replacing American vehicles that looked like army tanks. 01/31/2025 08:23 PM
