The County Parson

Body
After 2 ½ weeks of being sick with many days in bed, I have come to appreciate what some people go through when they have a severe sickness. My sickness wasn’t that devastating. It just sucked the energy out of me and caused me a lot of coughing and sneezing.

Memories and Musings

Body
It seems that children see things regarding church through kid’s eyes, and they don’t always hear it right. One of my earliest memories is that of being in church with my father, Cecil. I recall that I kept trying to talk out loud during the service and Dad would tell me to be quiet. After church Dad was holding me in his arms when Bro. Russell Smith walked up and asked me how I liked the service. I replied, “Well, I didn’t like it.” Bro. Smith inquired as to why I didn’t. I told him, “Because nobody gets to say anything but you.”

CASA Vigil at Courthouse

Body
CASA and several volunteers from the Sabine County Child Welfare board held a vigil at the Courthouse on Thursday evening, April 25th in remembrance of the 173 children that have died from child abuse in Texas recently. No children died in Sabine County thankfully, but two in the East Texas region did, so there were two white balloons released in their honor.
