God’s GPS

2 years ago By Louise Bishop Sabine County Reporter
Several months ago, my bonus granddaughter and I took a trip to Oklahoma. We planned to visit my kids. When we became hungry, she used the GPS. We wanted to eat at a Chick Fil A restaurant. They are usually clean and Christian oriented. The GPS led us right to it. We didn’t get lost either, though we’d never been there before, for the GPS led us back to our route.
Getting What We Pay For  

Getting What We Pay For

“Salvation is the gift of God…not of works, lest any man should boast…” Eph. 2:8 When I was pastor of the First Baptist Church of Mauriceville, Texas, Deacon Leroy Neel and I often hunted and fished together. He called me one day to tell me about a binocular sale he’d seen in the Field and Stream Magazine. The ad described them as “8X precision optics with Old World craftsmanship” for the amazing price of $4.95!!. We got our orders off that day and could hardly wait to get them.
The Confederate Giant  

The Confederate Giant

One can only imagine what the Union soldiers must have thought at the sight of a giant wearing a confederate uniform running toward them in the heat of battle. Henry Clay Thruston was beyond a doubt the tallest man in the Confederate army. Perhaps at the time he lived he could have been one of the tallest men in the world at 7 feet 7 ½ inches in height. The average height of the Union soldier was 5 feet 8 inches, and the tallest Union soldier was only 6 feet 10 ½ inches. This Rebel towered over all the other fighting men like a pine sapling.

Obedience

2 years ago By Louise Bishop
I was on my way to church. On a country road, going the speed limit, I suddenly saw a demand to stop. There was a maintenance worker, flagging me down. His sign was held high. I hadn’t seen, any kind of warning. Just this sudden stop sign. Wow! I slammed on the brakes and managed to come to a halt. I hated to do my car that way. But, I knew, I had to obey the sign.

They Need Our Time

Pam and I moved back to East Texas in 1990. It was the first time since 1950 that I would be living near my dear Mother who had lived alone since my Dad’s death in 1984. Living only eighteen miles from her, we were able to both talk with her and visit her regularly. I remember how much the “little things” meant to her.

Drunker than Cooter Brown

2 years ago By Neal Murphy
Like me, I am sure that you have heard the phrase descriptive of total inebriation, “Drunker than Cooter Brown”. The phrase is in common usage by both white and black southerners. The question is who is Cooter Brown and why was he such an infamous drunk? Well, the question is enough to drive a person to drink because very little can be found about Mr. Brown, although there are quite a few bars scattered around the country that call themselves “Cooter Browns”.
