Greetings from Capps. By the time of this article going to print, we've likely survived last Wednesday night's severe weather and received several inches of rain in Capps. The cooler weather has been a refreshing change after June and July's hot weather. Our new goat kid continues to do well at a week old and has bonded with Kal-El, our Akbash cross livestock guardian dog. (Not sure who loves who more) Our cows are returning from being bred in Huntsville also so busy week at the farm. Capps Batavia Fire Captain, Tim Hunter, was recently honored with the Jack Williams Award for first responders, presented by the American Legion. He goes above and beyond for the department and community. (And also raises some fine cattle) Kudos Tim! Capps Full Gospel Church will host Dean and Peggy Caldwell in Revival services this Sunday at 11 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. and Monday and Tuesday nights at 7 p.m. There's something very special going on in Capps but you just have to come and experience it for yourself. Blessings, Doug

Greetings from Capps. My apologies for missing last week as I was driving a U-Haul to North Carolina for my wife's sister. I learned that Tennessee is a very, very long state to drive all the way across, but it was the only one to cross after leaving Arkansas. It was also hot there and much more humid but I did get to the beach at Surf City. Upon returning, we were blessed with an inch of rain in Capps Sunday night and early Monday morning. I'm extremely grateful for the tree trimmers coming a few weeks ago because the midnight squall Sunday night was the strongest wind I've ever seen since moving here 5 years ago. Thankfully, it only lasted about half an hour as the front blew through and no damage. Capps Batavia Fire responded to a brush fire off Estes Road on Tuesday afternoon. There was a skid steer stuck in the burn pit but the homeowners had been able to keep it from catching fire until we got there and then got it unstuck once the fire was out. Our new recruits continue to train with us and do well. The Homesteaders Swap Meet will be held today (Saturday) from 9 .a.m to noon at the Capps Mini Storage on Old Capps Road just off Highway 392 West. The weather is supposed to be cooler this weekend also, which will be a relief. I learned last Sunday night that the old fellowship hall at Capps Full Gospel Church will come down sometime this fall and a new, 80 by 100 foot building will be constructed. Until next week, try to stay cool and hydrated. Blessings, Doug.

A vehicle with an empty gas tank is not likely to go anywhere. The same holds true for hope. When there is no hope, the likelihood of moving forward is slim to none.

The Harrison area had some pretty big storms last week. Many branches littered the streets once they passed. Businesses reported damage to outdoor signs and some residents are missing a few shingles. The high winds and torrential downpours wound up bringing down both of the large flags outside of Camp Jack. Just as arrangements were being made to rent a lift to reach the damaged area, Entergy senior lineman Erik Whitehurst was driving by and noticed they were down. He called in boom truck and had them repaired in no time. They did this completely on their own out of respect to veterans expecting nothing in return. The lift rental would have been quite expensive on the organization that helps veterans when they need it most.
