(ROCKWALL, TX — May 3, 2019) I’m writing a bit early this week because today is an anniversary for me…of sorts. Six years ago today we moved Mother into Broadmoor Medical Lodge. It had been a very hard six months since her fall, but God was using those six months to build the facility that […]
(HEATH, TX – May 1, 2019) The sun was shining and the skies were bright blue for one of the first Saturdays in weeks when the Heath community gathered for Fun & Fit in the Park, featuring the annual Heart of Heath 5k and One-Mile Family Run.

(ROCKWALL, TX — April 29, 2019) Many beer styles have interesting origins, but none have a story quite like saison. Saison is a Belgian style from the French speaking region of Wallonia.

(ROCKWALL, TX — April 11, 2019) I was present when my father-in-law drew his last breaths; it hurt me to watch him go.

(ROCKWALL, TX — March 28, 2019) She sounded worried on the phone, and no wonder, her husband faced a federal indictment in connection to a former employer’s wrongdoings. The trouble was only beginning for my friend Luann and her family. Ominous clouds closed in on their once bright lives—rich in Christian fellowship, community service, and […]
(ROCKWALL, TX) What is a lager? What is an ale? Is there a difference? A common misconception is that lagers and ales are beer styles, when they are actually different classifications of beer. Much the same way you could classify animals as mammals and reptiles. The difference between lagers and ales is what type of […]
(ROCKWALL, TX — March 25, 2019) Red, watering eyes, sneezing, misery, the fog of antihistamines…does any of this sound familiar?
