A Tribute to the Fallen of 9/11
September 16, 2002
|
|
Standing room only. All the seats taken and Pastor Wes Johnson, the Master of Ceremonies, was looking up and down the aisles for a place to put the overflow crowd. The parking lot was full and cars lined the street in front of the First Baptist Church. The city fire trucks and police cars were in a row as a tribute to the men who serve their communities in time of trouble and strife. Even old Titan, the one-eyed town dog, was standing at attention outside the church and knew something big was going down. The town of Kerens had something to be proud of on Wednesday night, September 11th, as we all gathered to honor and support and pray for our many heroes that came out of the ashes of the World Trade Center.

“Play Ball !!” No that’s not it. I think it might be “Heads or Tails !!” Yea that’s right. That is how the game starts.
Football season has kicked off and such an exciting time of year it is. Well, at least for most guys and some gals it is anyway, especially all of us ex-Bobcats that so fondly remember our years in the green and white uniforms.
Have you ever heard one of those single minded football coaches make the statement “It Builds Character” and then pooh pooh it off and respond with “It’s just a game, how can that build character?” I think maybe you might have heard that a few times. My response? Those coaches are absolutely dead-on and character is a very very big part of this game for youth to participate in as well as other sports activities.

September 11th, 2002 is just a few days away now and maybe a time for reflection upon the changes in our lives and our country since this same day only one year in our past. Has your life changed?
This was one of those disasters of such a human magnitude that your memory is burned with an imprint telling you for the rest of your life exactly where you were and what you were doing at the very moment when you learned the World Trade Center had disappeared from the landscape of America. Not by accident had the towers fallen, but by an act of intentional design to strike terror into the lives of all Americans.

“Now what do we do next?”
“Who did you say was making the tickets?”
“Has anyone called Neal?”
“Does Robert have all the supplies he needs?”
“Somebody settle Linda down.”
“Frank, what about that Float Trailer?”
“When will Martha be back?”

southerncrossranch writes "If anybody is looking for a horse, I have several for sale and need to get rid of them for the winter. I will make you a great deal so come by, have some coffee, play some dominos, and take home a nice horse. Ok, another thing, I am looking for a school bus to turn into a motor home. So if anyone knows of a school district getting rid of some old buses, let me know.
Merry Christmas to all."

Snopes.com is a great place to find out if something is true or false. It is from a speech that the former governor of Colorado gave in the U.S. capital...excellent food for thought.

Local News: Unclaimed Property on Texas Comptroller Website
|
|
southerncrossranch writes "On Friday, November 10, 2006, I was looking through some Texas State websites when I came across the Texas Comptroller site. That is where Carol Keeton Strayhorn is over the department, and they do the unclaimed property of Texas citizens. I put in Kerens and it pulled up list after list of folks in Kerens who have money coming to them. Some names I recognized. Some folks I go to church with, and even my church itself has nearly $100.00 coming to it. Folks, there were some of you who have several hundreds of dollars that is owed to you. So go to this site and you may be one of the lucky ones who have forgotten money coming to you or somebody you know.
All I can say is Merry Christmas."
