SUCCESSFUL LIVING WITH DOT - Here are some thoughts for finding and experiencing joy in your life.

BUT THAT'S JUST ME TALKING - The old saying that freedom isn’t free showed up in full force this weekend.

WORD OF GOD, WAY OF LIFE - When did I know when I was truly born again?

SEE YOU IN CHURCH - I received a call from my daughter and it was not good news.

EL SEMINARISTA - Les saludo con gusto Pueblo, y como siempre pasemos al comentario de hoy ...

I recently had the opportunity to watch season one of “The Chosen.” It’s a series about the life of Jesus and uses interesting backstories which brings the scriptures we all love and cherish into a more deeper understanding

FOR YOUR INFORMATION - Masks or no masks?

BORDERLINES - To all you high school and college graduates of the class of 2020, my heart goes out to you in sympathy. As they say in baseball “You was robbed.”

IMHO - The COVID-19 crisis we are currently going through has deep-scarred the lives of many in Texas, in the country and worldwide.

MY TURN - It is 8:05 a.m. Monday morning. Almost two years ago to the minute, I was sitting at my desk as publisher of The Alvin Sun when my phone rang. 

SUCCESSFUL LIVING WITH DOT - Over the past 25 years I have read, researched many books and articles on health, wellness and nutrition.

BUT THAT'S JUST ME TALKING - Welcome to Del Rio where you’ll soon be able to sit inside an enclosed bingo hall, but swimming in the beloved creek will get you a visit from the law.

GESUNDHEIT - “And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: and that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name”

SEE YOU IN CHURCH - She recently passed away and we miss her.

EL SEMINARISTA - Les saludo con gusto Pueblo, y como siempre pasemos al comentario de hoy: Nunca está de más hablar del poder de Dios, o de su amor inefable y eterno, pero hoy vamos a tomar un tema de doctrina.

WORD OF GOD, WAY OF LIFE - Be watchful, for you do not know what hour your Lord will come.

MY TURN - I’ve only been in Del Rio for five months, so I never met Asante Contreras. In fact, I never heard of his name until last week.

SUCCESSFUL LIVING WITH DOT - I have often heard the phrase “the best defense is a good offense.”

BUT THAT'S JUST ME TALKING: For one day, we all seemed united in the face of unspeakable tragedy.

GESUNDHEIT - I would like SO much to be a deliverer of good news … Unfortunately we live in a fallen and darkening world for now.

SEE YOU IN CHURCH - It had been built many years ago and was built very well.

MY TURN - In the mid-90s, Hillary Clinton published a book called “It Takes a Village.” The theory behind the book, and the old African proverb the title came from, is that to properly raise a child many people must play a role.

BUT THAT'S JUST ME TALKING - One weekend into reopening the state of Texas for business and things … things aren’t really going back to normal.

WORD OF GOD, WAY OF LIFE - Where would I be without coming to the point of being broken? 

GESUNDHEIT - Like a friend wisely wrote: “I’m just another beggar trying to tell others about where to find the bread. It would seem that many believe they know a lot, and that might be true; but it’s what we learn after we think we know it all, that really matters”.

SEE YOU IN CHURCH - I remember being in the airport terminal and it was crowded – unlike today, when they are empty – and everyone was in a big hurry.

Every year, especially during the springtime, the Del Rio area gets at least a handful of dangerous storms

MY TURN - As the coronavirus pandemic continues to take its toll on America and the world, there seems to be a growing divide among two sides of this debate.

SUCCESSFUL LIVING WITH DOT - The dictionary describes perilous as exposure to the risk of being injured, destroyed, or lost. The “right” words are difficult to find during this time, but I’ll do my best!

BUT THAT'S JUST ME TALKING - “May the odds forever be in your favor.”

Dang! The grass is getting high in the front yard, again. Time to call Hugo. I’m not even going to pretend I get any enjoyment from yard work, especially grass mowing. I do it only to avoid the displeasure of the Good Wife, who is far more sensitive than I to the opinion of our fellow man. T…

A Houston area doctor and political activist filed a lawsuit last week trying to block Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo’s face mask requirement, his lawsuit argues the mandate is unconstitutional and represents government overreach

For decades China had their communist way with a compliant America, but in 2016 a new sheriff, most unexpectedly, came to town. Trump put America first, renegotiating horrible trade deals slowing China’s mercenary growth, while unleashing America’s greatest economic recovery ever from the bottom up

Donald J. Trump ignored early warnings of a possible pandemic. But was heavily focused on politics, the stock market, and politically played down what he knew was a rising threat and coddled China instead of confronting it

I have found out many times you do not miss something until you do not have it and all too often we just take it for granted

Might we say, in whom or what shall we be afraid of? For the God of our Salvation, keeps us in times of trouble

Many folks don’t believe in God because they think they can’t see Him, even though they can see His creation

Unprecedented times call for unprecedented decisions that need to be made. And folks we are in unprecedented times

This is a chance for our future leaders to prove they can make, and accept, the decisions that will shape their future

BORDERLINES - If it has done nothing else, this COVID-19 lockdown has proven the wisdom of the adage “Insomnia is just God’s way of saying you’re taking way too many naps.”

FOR YOUR INFORMATION - I don’t want to write about COVID-19, but it seems to be affecting all of our lives negatively today.

During times like this, when the only thing for sure is uncertainty, if anybody claims we could have been better prepared for this COVID-19 crisis and economy shutdown, I would doubt half of what they are saying, and the other half I wouldn’t believe

BUT THAT'S JUST ME TALKING - We have entered the next phase in the battle against COVID-19, and man, is it making people mad.

MY TURN - It’s funny how even the smallest of things can brighten someone’s day in these trying times we are living through.
