The Battle Within Our Borders
Jesus sat down with the disciples one evening and they asked Him a few questions about the signs of His return and the end of the age.
As Jesus answered, one thing has always caught my attention; “For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.” Matt 24:7 Continue reading
He Knows What We Need
God was with us yesterday, of course, He always is.
Four of us drove almost 4 hours to Fort Worth to look at Federal Surplus generators for the radio station.
We took a certified diesel mechanic with us to help determine the quality and condition of the engines.
We found 3 with low hours and would meet our needs. Continue reading

Alas! And did my Savior bleed?
And did my Sovereign die?

But in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering.
Now this chapter of Daniel is a prophecy about 70 weeks of years. Continue reading
The High Point Of Our Vacation (Literally)
The first view of Enchanted Rock while going north on HWY 965
Rising up from the ground just north of
Fredericksburg is a huge, pink granite exfoliation dome.
It covers 640 acres and rises up 425 feet above ground, 1825 feet above sea level.
It was a challenge for Linda and me. Continue reading
ConGraduations
Friday evening found us at the Broaddus High School gym for senior graduation.
I don’t believe I have seen the place that full of people for a graduation.
I watched as tears streamed down the face of parents and a few of the seniors. Continue reading
Family
Great-grandpa Ed Hook and Tim 12/23/68
Last Saturday I had a family reunion on my mother’s side.
It was the Hook reunion which has been held the weekend of Memorial Day for as far back as I can remember.
All of the Hook’s are gone now. Continue reading
