Miracle Mindset

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego did not develop their convictions when they were thrown into the fiery furnace; they had already made their decision years earlier about whom they would serve. When King Nebuchadnezzar commanded them to bow, their response demonstrated a mature faith: they believed that God was able to deliver them, but even if He did not, they would still serve Him. 

 Photos and Story by Ken Hulsey As many of you already know, I have begun to take my physical health seriously. Earlier this year, a routine trip to the doctor served as a wake-up call when my test results showed that my health was in dire shape. Lifestyle changes had to be made, or I was going to end up in a very bad way. I started watching what I ate, began exercising, and started taking a handful of medications every morning. It seems that when you start getting older, a sedentary lifestyle isn't good for you.  Who knew?

 Written By Ken Hulsey In 2021, I experienced a harrowing incident on my drive home from work. While navigating the highway in heavy rain, I hydroplaned and lost control of my car. However, I can say without hesitation that Jesus protected me through the entire ordeal. In the days that followed, many people remarked on how 'lucky' I was to have emerged unharmed. But I am here to profess that it was not mere luck - it was divine intervention.

 In my eight years here in Louisiana, I have learned many things about life. Moving from a metropolis like Los Angeles to a small central Louisiana farming town has taught me to enjoy the simpler things in life. 

 In this week's message, Pastor Steve Smotherman of Legacy Church in Albuquerque, New Mexico, breaks down the difference between true justice and the false narrative of politically driven social justice. God alone can determine what is right and what is wrong, what is just or unjust.

 Written By Ken Hulsey As most of you already know, Terri and I are from different parts of the country. I hail from California, with short stints in Texas and New Mexico, but I lived most of my life there. Terri is from Texas, but being part of a military family, she lived all over the place, ranging from Germany to New Jersey. She actually spent most of her life in North Carolina. The fact that we both have lived in vastly different parts of our great country, each with different kinds of people, all with different foibles and different ways of doing this thing called life. Despite all of these different experiences under our belts, none of it prepared us for life in the South. 

Photos and Story by Ken Hulseu One of the great things about working in Baton Rouge is watching all the different types of locomotives in operation on the Canadian National. I have to tip my hat off to the CN for not repainting all of their locomotives in their signature colors like all other railroads. I love to drive by the CN engine facilities near downtown because I never know what I'm going to see in the yard.

Several years ago I was traveling through Perris, so I decided to take a break wandering around the grounds. Time limitations didn't allow for much wandering, so I just poked around the southern end of the property.
