There has been a lot of activity around town in the past few months with the addition of new street lights and left-lane turns on the east side of the courthouse square. If you haven’t noticed, there has also been a lot of activity occurring at and around the schools located on Oatman Street and on Highway 71.
Nearly thirty-five years ago, I prepared a manuscript for a book titled “Lord, I’m Afraid,” and sent it to a publisher of some of my other books. In the introduction, I wrote the following:
“Fear is a monster that stalks us all. It brings depression, stifles ability, drains energy, diminishes courage and robs life of adventure and success.
“Some fears are real and others are imaginary.
When it comes to flowers, a flower is simply a flower. I do not know the difference between a rose and a lily. If it looks pretty, I like it. I like to keep things simple.
When I have to buy flowers for the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage, I have a wee bit of difficulty.

MARBLE FALLS—The gymnasium on the Faith Academy campus, September 15, was probably one of the few structures with lights on in a most rural area off Highway 1431, several miles east of Marble Falls High School.
The Jacket lights were further off during Game One. “We had 19 mistakes,” head coach John Black revealed in disgust.

Jason Gann had another excellent effort for 3.1 miles.
