Thanks, Dad

Editor’s Note:  Happy Father’s Day Weekend. We will be back with you on Tuesday, June 27.

Be safe…and stay tuned. ****************** I … Continue reading

Seriously? Fish Fight!

You don’t have to go far to see the world going crazy, but now fishing, too? I don’t know exactly what happened here, but I know I’ve never been lucky enough to have a fishing hole worth getting in a fight over with somebody for it. Especially on the 190,000 acre Toledo Bend lake. This … Continue reading

One evening, they were sitting around their dorm room … Continue reading

The skies proclaim his work

There are reminders around us every day of how great our God is. Sometimes we have to just stop to see them. Other times, they are just there, like WOW! Sitting on the boat dock this past week between rains and cold fronts and winds, it suddenly got calm. White wispy clouds begin to break … Continue reading

Big Bass Tourney Time

Once again, this weekend is big bass time in northeast Louisiana. It’s not necessarily the best time to catch big largemouths, but it’s the best time to catch them to win prizes and help worthy causes. Unfortunately, it’s also a time when area big bass fishermen not only have to choose which bait to fish … Continue reading

How to be just fine

I should have moved quicker. But I lingered a little too long picking up snacks and Dr. Pepper in the little store in the bend of the big curve on Hwy. 165 at Riverton. I almost never caught up with Byron Rogers in his old Chevy pickup. A group of us were heading to the … Continue reading

Have no part in it

Our command:  Do good and have faith. Most people who find fault and or offended with everything are simply lost. They live like a mist rising from the water. They have no meaningful life, on earth or in eternity. There’s  lot of bad rearing it’s ugly head in our world today. People who do that … Continue reading
