Miracle Mindset

 Photos and Story by Ken Hulsey. I've been busy over the last couple of weeks taking random photos with my phone. I believe that I have been able to capture some beautiful and peaceful landscapes here in central Louisiana.  The first of my photos were taken at sunrise at the England Air Park in Alexandria. 

 If you have any doubts that it is indeed Fall in Southern Louisiana, a trip to Fresh Pickin's Produce Market in Lafayette will clue you in to the seasonal change. Though the temperatures are just starting to cool down and the leaves are still mostly green, this fruit and vegetable stand (that's what we used to call a place like this in the good old days) is full of Fall colors. The oranges of pumpkins and the reds. yellows and browns of gourds and Indian corn delight the visual spectrum. 

It seems that Fred and Barney have an eccentric neighbor named Alvin Brickrock, who collects strange objects and constantly fights with his wife. When these fights die down, the two Stone Age sleuths deduce that Brickrock has chopped up his wife and hidden her remains in an old trunk.

Written By Ken Hulsey With Halloween quickly approaching, I wanted to share a little ghost story from my past. Back in the 1980s, I lived in Albuquerque, in a subdivision known as Heritage Hills. When my family moved in during the late 1970s, this area was brand new. In fact, these were the only homes located on the furthest north side of the city. Beyond our subdivision, there was nothing but open desert, with dirt roads and a few scattered structures. This area remained undeveloped for quite some time. 

 Photos and Story By Ken Hulsey Last week, I stayed overnight in Shreveport for an early-morning meeting in Bossier City. After the meeting, I visited one of my favorite places in Shreveport, Riverview Park, along the majestic Red River. The weather was pleasantly cool for a change, with a lovely layer of fog hanging in the air, so I thought it would be a great opportunity to stretch my legs and take some photos of the area.

Pastor James Greer talks about how to get ready for the miracle that is coming. He will share principles that will help you prepare yourself spiritually, mentally, and physically. Are you ready?

Written By Ken Hulsey.  Over the past few years, I have become a fanatic for creating Spotify playlists. I love to assemble them, break them apart, and rebuild them. My approach to music playlists is similar to George Lucas's philosophy about his movies. He once mentioned that movies are never truly finished, only abandoned. While I’m paraphrasing, I definitely share that mindset. There may not be such a thing as a perfect playlist, but I keep striving to create one.

 Photos and Story By Ken Hulsy Last year, Terri and I took a day trip to historic Jefferson, Texas. We instantly fell in love with the place. So, when I had to travel to Arkansas and Northeast Texas on Monday, I couldn’t resist taking a detour back to Jefferson. During our previous visit, Terri and I were tourists. This time, however, I was in photographer mode, feeling that the images I captured on our first visit didn't truly do justice to the magic of Jefferson.
