The local chapter of Christian Motor Cycle Association had a Chili cook-off last Saturday evening. Ranch House Restaurant won first place. Matthew Harris came in as second place. The weather has been very icy here in Batavia. Some of the workers carpooled so they could avoid the challenge of slipping and sliding on the roads. Last word I heard about Charlie Marshall was that he is still in the Hospital in Branson. As you think of Charlie please do pray for Charlie and his family. more

This weather is sounding like it is going to be something else, 44 today and 45 tomorrow and dropping and snowing in the afternoon and through the night with bad roads on Wednesday morning. Then it will be cold Thursday and Friday. Then Saturday it is going to be 51 and sunshine. Just in time for Johnny Gordon’s moms estate auction Jan. 28 at 9 a.m. It looks so beautiful out there today. more

Carl and I made our annual trip to Lake Worth, Texas, last week for the Kenneth Copeland Ministries Conference. All speakers were fantastic. My two most favorite speakers were Happy Caldwell and Billye Brim. On Wednesday morning of this week we woke up to ten inches of snow on the rails of our back deck! The snow was beautiful. Lee and Boyce Hankins visited with Donna Olson one day this week. She is in one of the rehab centers in Harrison. Mia Hankins spent Monday evening with her cousin Zack Shaffer. They are good pals and like to spend time together. more

Greetings from Capps. We had fall, spring and now winter returning all in the same week last week, very confusing. It looks like we had around 14 inches of snow at our place just outside Capps. There were a few accidents on Tuesday night, one of which closed Hwy 392 for several hours. Traffic was rerouted onto Old Capps Road during that time. Thanks to all the road crews and first responders who had a busy night. As of this morning, (Wednesday) our power is still out. We lost power on Creel Road about 9:30 Tuesday night during the storm. Thankfully, we have gas and wood heat so candles and early bedtime for us. Neighbor Ken Clements is coming to clear our driveway so we'll have access to the main road soon. Our Dexter/Mini-Hereford cross, Gracie, lost her calf last week at about 4 months. We were pretty bummed out but God must have a reason. Not sure if we'll rebreed her before summer or not. We visited our friend, Russell Faddis at Mount Vista last Saturday. He was pretty torn up about the passing of his younger sister, Wanda, that morning. She was the last of his living siblings and a longtime resident of Capps. Until next time, blessings, Doug more
