Written by Ken Hulsey It's amazing the kind of stuff that you find while digging through your old blog posts and emails. I was writing a lot of stuff about unexplained phenomena a little over a decade ago, and a lot of people sent me information on their own personal experiences.

I used to drive past that sign once a week and wondered just what the heck Pioneertown actually was. One day the curiosity finally got the best of me, and I veered off the main road and began a journey down a lonely desert road towards my unknown destination.

Photo & Introduction By Ken Hulsey  Did your parents ever tell you that you were an accident, that they didn't plan to have you? Many people live with a misconception that they are alive due to some sort of error and that their lives have no real purpose. If we take a look at Scripture, we will discover that the exact opposite is true.

 Written By Ken Hulsey This past weekend, my wife and I decided to explore Lufkin, a charming city in eastern Texas. We arrived around noon, so naturally, our first stop was for food. We noticed the usual fast-food chains everywhere, and just as we were about to settle for a local Whataburger, I spotted a retro drive-in across the street. Why choose something we could have anytime when we had the chance to enjoy some of the local flavors?

 Back in February of 2023, I received a USB drive from my compadre Everett Lueck of the Southern Forest Heritage Museum that contains an enormous amount of information about life in Central Louisiana in the early to mid 20th century. The files that he sent me include documents, newspaper articles, letters, a couple of videos and huge amount of vintage photographs. The bulk of the material focuses on the lumber industry and the railroads that operated in this part of the state.

In this inspiring sermon, Children's Pastor Steven Roberts delves deeply into the powerful message of Moses' journey, emphasizing the importance of trusting God with what we already possess. Moses, a figure who faced immense challenges and self-doubt, serves as a profound example of how we can find strength and purpose even when we feel unqualified for the tasks at hand.

During the American Revolution, Thomas Paine shared a remarkable pamphlet titled *The American Crisis*. In this influential work, he conveyed a stirring message emphasizing the importance of defiance and perseverance in the face of adversity. Paine's words not only rallied the spirits of those fighting for freedom but also inspired people during one of the most challenging times in American history. His ability to ignite hope and determination in people showcases the power of the written word. If you’re curious to explore how Paine's insights can apply to our own struggles today, it’s worth diving deeper into his poignant reflections!
