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

As I write this, it feels like winter has hit Del Rio. The temperature outside in the 40s and with the wind, there is an absolute chill in the air

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

Google gets the last laugh, probably far more often than we know. Include one letter more than needed to “Google” a subject turns research to clabber quicker than political candidates can call their opponents liars

Drawn to the polls for a number of reasons, some of them including, but not limited to, a highly contested presidential election, multiple elections held at once including federal, state, county, city, hospital board and positions in two school district boards, and other reasons, Val Verde voters have been going to the Del Rio Civic Center in record numbers during early voting

Last March World Health Organization predicted the coronavirus death rates to be 3.4 percent, sparking panic, and catastrophic economic shut downs

Les saludo con gusto Pueblo, y como siempre pasemos al comentario de hoy: En la vida se presentan problemas que rebasan nuestras estrategias y nuestras fuerzas, y no hallamos la manera de cómo dejar atrás la adversidad

Jesus said, be perfect as our Father in Heaven is perfect. He told the woman caught in adultery, to go her way, and sin no more

Decades ago, David Wilkerson prophesied “America’s golden calf is coming down!” He made clear that the reason for God’s judgment would be upon this nation because it has shed rivers of innocent blood, which our Creator will not pardon (Genesis 9:6)

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

In the pursuit of the life we dream of, this journey we are on for successful living, the focus is usually on figuring out what it is exactly that we want and then setting ourselves on course for going and getting it

The death of Luis Rosas is sad for a variety of reasons, not the least being that he was one of the last of his kind

When my alarm went off this morning, it was dark, surprisingly dark. My first thought was there is no way it’s time to get up, so I hit the snooze button and laid back down

We can’t put anyone on the Supreme Court who would vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act called Obamacare! Why do you think America voted for a crass talking, orange headed, New Yorker?

There is more content available today about the upcoming election than likely in any previous cycle

I know, it sneaked up on me, too. This is the week – October 18-24 – to celebrate and honor all those folks who are true, card-carrying, money-donating Friends of the Val Verde County Library

Early voting is underway in Texas, it started on Tuesday following the Columbus Day holiday with plenty of local voters participating in the federal, state and local elections

I’m not sure exactly when it happened, but SMH (shaking my head) has entirely supplanted LOL as the postscript on social media comments

The words “wash and wear” exploded in the 1950s, thanks to the introduction of treated cotton and synthetics that meant clothing could be worn straight from the washing machine

El coronavirus ha traído tristeza, dolor, y angustias, pero también nos ha ubicado en la necesidad apremiante de Dios

It has been a major news topic lately and everybody wants to get on the bandwagon. They all want government bailouts or the government to pump large amounts of money into their businesses or corporations

Scripture tells us (in John 8:32,36) that the truth shall make us free, indeed Jesus says so – so it must be true! Let’s see what else is in God’s Word, our Bible

I would think the word “Repent,” is farther down the line in most searched out topics than the word, “Blessings.” So it can be, we want the blessings when our hearts have need of repentance, that often ushers in the blessings of the Lord

As I write this, voters in Texas are casting ballots for the November general election

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Well, the most wonderful time of every four years, anyway

The market for different diet programs is very daunting, confusing and overwhelming

Sad to say, folks, but it looks like this might be my last column

For over four years America has suffered under a cloud of the vilest coup in all of history

Mike Wilson, editor of the Dallas Morning News since 2015, has resigned the position, and the almost six-year tenure probably has seemed much longer

It’s October – Fall, cooler weather, Fiesta de Amistad, my birthday – and Family History Month

One of the most contentious elections in the last few years – or at least it sure feels like it – is coming up, with early voting starting Tuesday all across Texas

St. Augustine famously highlighted: “In the Old Testament, the New Testament is concealed; in the New Testament, the Old Testament is revealed.” Every detail in the scriptures is there by super-natural engineering

To take grace as an opportunity to live out life dwelling in ungodliness, goes against the very new nature in which we are reborn

Un arrepentimiento genuino nos debe llevar a la reflexión y al cambio de acciones, actitudes y costumbres que nos han dañado y que equivocadamente hacíamos aceptándolo como bueno

It has been around for a long time. Its natural color is white but an extract from the achiote tree is added to give it the yellow color. It varies is flavor from mild to sharp or extra sharp. I have had some that was so sharp that I could hardly eat it

For about a week now, I’ve been seeing Monarchs regularly. Not loads of them, maybe a dozen individuals or so every day, fluttering inexorably south

Over the weekend, I saw two Facebook posts that really caught my attention

It’s easy to get off track when you don’t have a plan. Without planning what will your day look like? You will wake up not knowing what you want to do or accomplish

Folks, I don’t know what to say in regard to how people want to treat something that has helped lead to the death of more than 200,000 Americans thus far

Without getting into too much detail about the ongoing election, let me just say that the process has turned awkward, weird, extraordinarily contentions and hyper partisan nationwide

America’s future is in the balance, and understanding both sides, not just the loudest noise, should determine the outcome. I watch the dominant media to see what they are up too, but by choice receive the much quieter other side

At the time of year when parents, children and teachers were committing to take on a new school year, our son-in-law Bryan Choate and our grandchildren Ben, 19, and Brittin, 16, were dealing with the sudden death of Julie (Mrs. Bryan) Choate

Frankly, I have been having trouble focusing these past few months. After talking with some of my family, friends, and colleagues, I have found that I am not alone. However, many of us are treating this brain fog as though it is something new. Maybe it’s COVID-19?

IT’S HARELIP, not hair lip. A cleft palate sometimes resembles a rabbit’s upper lip. A hair lip is usually called a moustache

Les saludo con gusto Pueblo y como siempre su amigo El Seminarista de los Ojos Cafés, le presenta su comentario: Dios siempre ha sido perdonador, amoroso, y grande en misericordia, a tal grado que envió a su hijo a morir en la cruz del Calvario en lugar de los pecadores y rebeldes
