2 PETER 2-20-21 " For after they have escaped the pollution of the world through the knowledge of the SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than after they have known it, to turn from the HOLY commandment delivered to them. This great message was given to PETER.

I realize most of you look forward to the cooler temperatures and that is because you guys fall into the normal people category. I suppose it doesn’t surprise you one bit that I, on the other hand, run for the blankets when the thermometer dips below 70 degrees. To say I don’t enjoy cold weather is like saying I don’t enjoy being dragged across a bed of nails on my knees while wearing shorts. Until I moved to San Saba five years ago, I had no idea Texas even had any ...

One summer years ago I worked on a pulling unit in the oilfield. I worked with a man that liked to visit the local beerjoint every evening. One problem he had was his wife and mother-law did not like him to drink. When he came home he would be drunk and it made his wife mad.

Barbers trim a man’s sideburns and the hair of his neck with shaving cream and a straight razor. Once I was in a barber shop and noticed the barber had shaky hands. In order to use the straight razor, he had to hold his razor with his other hand in order to keep it steady as he was trimming. Every time a man got in his chair, he had to have faith the barber would not cut his throat.

Mateo 18: 1-7: En aquel tiempo los discipulos vinieron a Jesus, diciendo: Quien es el mayor en el reino de los cielos? Y Llamando Jesus a un nino, lo puso en medio de ellos, y dijo: De cierto os digo, que si no os volveis y os haceis como ninos, no entrareis en el reino de los cielos.

Diffuse means "to spread around," but it sounds mighty close to the better word choice, defuse, which means "to remove the fuse from, or to reduce the danger or tension." Next is cavalry/Calvary.

Our fall equinox arrived to announce the beginning of the new season, but someone forgot to pass on the news! It appears summer is not about to give up its hold on this poor country. It makes me sad to see so many cows at the auctions and even worse to see them headed out of town after the sale.
