Flood victims urged caution upon returning home

Flood victims urged caution upon returning home

As East Texas residents return to clean up their homes and businesses after extensive flooding earlier this month, the Texas Department of State Health Services urged residents and business owners to exercise caution. Among the recommendations: · Never use gasoline- powered generators or charcoal grills indoors. Keep them outside, at least 20 feet from homes to avoid possible carbon monoxide poisoning. Direct generator engine exhaust away from windows and doors · Never mix bleach with products that contain ammonia. Toxic fumes could be created. 05/15/2024 10:51 AM

Joy of suffering

Joy of suffering

GIVING THEM CHRIST The word suffer, or suffering, is not a pleasant one to our ears. We live in a world and society where the idea of suffering is something that should be avoided or mitigated. 05/15/2024 10:51 AM

Of hogs and catfish

Of hogs and catfish

As one of my radio hero’s Garrison Keelor used to say, “It’s been a quiet week here in Lake Wobegon.” Change the word “Wobegon” to “Kaufman County” and my exact sentiments will be mirrored. But I have managed to venture afield close to home in pursuit of wild hogs between floods. 05/15/2024 10:51 AM

A Mother’s Love

A Mother’s Love

Years ago there was a very loving family that lived in a two-story house. The main public rooms were located on the bottom floor, the living room, the kitchen, the dining room and den, but the more private family rooms were located on the second floor, which housed mainly the bedrooms. There was the master bedroom, and two other rooms for their children, and one that was dedicated to the baby daughter’s room. This precious daughter was born to that family while they were living there, and as she grew older, her parents remodeled her baby-room into her very own bedroom. 05/15/2024 10:51 AM
