Labeling the recent national election as one of “entanglements” may be the kindest of descriptions. But, it’s a start
Sometimes when you give the keys to the enemy, you need to pray to God that they cannot start the car. Praise God that He is still on the throne, and in total control of those things He desires to control

Trump attended the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. They tried to persuade him to join the Club of Globalism. Understanding what it was all about, Trump stuck a finger in their eye

Fall is my favorite season, by far. Always has been. The other seasons have their charms, but only autumn really speaks to my soul
I talk a lot in this column about Del Rio being a birder’s paradise, and it really is.
In our present day, many people are spurring bitterness and hatred based on differences in cultures, race, political views, religion and any other excuses they may find to justify their anger
Lots of people have cast negative ballots, said tacky things and made disparaging gestures about the year 2020 in general. The unanimous verdict indicated that, as one West Texan put it, “Ain’t what we signed up for.”
May we as God’s people, know how serious of a situation is before us right now. It requires much prayer. If there was ever a time for we all to be mindful of the things of God, and perhaps spend more time in prayer and even fasting, now surely is a time to do so!
Our brain performs an incredible number of tasks simultaneously, including all our senses and physical movements, breathing, heart rate, blood pressure and ability to think, reason, dream and experience emotions

Monday morning dawned bright and cool along the San Felipe Creek
Throughout His-Story there have been many warnings, warnings we haven’t taken serious enough. George Washington warned how fake news-style media would praise the traitors and malign (speak evil of) the real patriots
Today is a new day unless nuclear war occurred overnight, in which case you’re probably not reading this
Let’s take a moment to reflect on this beautiful journey called life. We all can attest to the fact that life can be enjoyable and painful based on circumstances and events that come our way. No one ever told us or promised that we could journey through life without problems, hurts and disappointments
By the time this goes to print, the United States will have elected a president for the next four years, although there is a fairly good chance we won’t know who that person is yet
She left port on April 10, 1912. She was the most luxurious ship ever built and was even gaining the nickname of “The Unsinkable”
I grew up in a patriotic family, loving America, understanding that humanity is never perfect
When my aged Uncle Mort called the other day, I figured he wanted me to hear his election rants. Instead, he told me his TV has been “muted” since political ads took over most channels several weeks ago

Les saludo con gusto Pueblo, y como siempre pasemos al comentario de hoy: Hablar de la muerte es un tema que pocos quieren tomar, pero la muerte es parte de la vida
The Pilgrims and the Puritans originally founded America in the 1600s. They entered into a covenant with God, based on the covenant that the children of Israel made with Him (outlined in Deuteronomy chapter 28 – O.T.)
In today’s fast-paced, hustle and bustle society, we have become programmed to moving at break-neck speed in order to accomplish life goals and to complete that never-ending daily to-do list

Many are in a serious battle today with their health, finances, relationships, and are being attacked with anxiety, fear, and depression, however there is great news! We have been given the hope of restoration and deliverance in Jesus Christ who is the great physician, is absolute truth, and has total authority over all things!
So it’s come to this.
Folks who know me know that my regular job is to serve as sports editor for the News-Herald, but when I write my column, I don’t often crossover into that part of the world because often times it doesn’t jive with what’s going on in the world around me
By a show of hands, how many of you out there have house pets? You know – cats, dogs, whatever?
I voted about 2:30 on Wednesday afternoon. It was a good day for voting – a good time, too

I remember the time we visited a rock and gem show. They had stones and gems from all over the world and in every size, shape and color. In their natural state or as they were found or dug up, they were not very impressive
