It’s totally unpredictable as to what types of articles appeal to various readers. Except for those focusing on a particular family or individual, which are naturally appreciated by descendants, overall appeal tends to stem from two directions. Men especially like articles about the days of the Indians, outlaws, etc.—anything pertaining to the Old West, and women enjoy reading about what life in general was like in the early days.
October is named annually “PASTOR APPRECIATION MONTH,” but some may wonder why pastors deserve an official time to be appreciated.
What’s so special about the ministry?
Frequently, I look back to my youth and give thanks for pastors who made positive changes in my life. Perhaps the primary reason for appreciating pastors is because of their important role of being life changers.
Some don’t appreciate these servants of God and seize any opportunity to depreciate them and their work.
In our house, we have an ongoing debate. The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage claims I am the king of procrastination.
At first, I did not quite understand what she was talking about and asked if I could get back to her on that question.
She has the idea that I put things off until the last minute, then, according to her, I am in a panic to get it done.
I am not saying she is right; she just might have a good point there.
Wimberley’s 24-0 punishment of Llano, October 9, reminded me of going to games with my dad when I was nine or 10, and our team was losing.
“Didn’t you tell me we were going to win? That they are oh-and-six?” I would also ask in a whining voice, “Can we catch up?”
He was as mad as I was, but he had to remain the mature adult—not that I knew what the word meant.
LAMPASAS—Eight days before the district Cross Country Meet takes place on the Badgers’ campus, the 25-4A teams gathered to run the same course in a crucial tune-up for round one of Postseason on the Trails.
“My time was pretty good,” said Jason Gann, Llano’s top entrant in the men’s division. He journeyed the 3.1 miles in 17 minutes, 20 seconds, and finished third in a field of close to a hundred.
It wasn’t a victory, but the Jackets did grab a game off a good Taylor volleyball team, October 6, and it was an entertaining contest, won by the Ducks, 3-1.
There was little consolation for Llano head coach John Black. “We didn’t play as well as we could have,” he said.
The Dodgers’ Chase Utley was suspended for two games in the National League Division Series—he is appealing—because he slid into the Mets’ Ruben Tejada on a play at second base, and Tejada suffered a fractured leg.
I haven’t seen the replays and have no intention of watching them. I have no clue whether the play was “legal”, and I certainly don’t care.
