EXXONMOBIL ALBUQUERQUE INTERNATIONAL BALLOON FIESTA October 3 - 11 For nine days in October, the Albuquerque skies are colorfully painted as more than 500 balloons lift off from Balloon Fiesta Park. Plan now to attend the ExxonMobil Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta® and be part of the world’s largest hot-air balloon festival. Walk among the moving picture show of hot-air balloons lifting gently through the crisp, fall air. If you're more of a night owl, experience the magic of a balloon glow as they light up the night sky. No matter what event you choose to attend, the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta will make you feel like you're in a dream. Experience a unique kind of “traffic jam” in the skies during the Route 66 Centennial at the biggest ballooning event in the world.

 Photos and Story by Ken Hulsey.  I have to admit that the wife and I have passed by the Martin Homeplace Museum on our way to Monroe well over a dozen times over the past five years. Today I found myself on my way up Highway 165, and I decided to finally pull off and check it out. 

 Last June, I posted an article entitled  Is Silence the New Sin? Why Christians MUST Stand Up and Speak Out NOW!  and in that piece I noted that it was time for Christians to stop being silent, rise into action, and speak the truth publicly about the message of Jesus Christ and the state of society as a whole.

 The history of the Southwest is a rich tapestry woven with the stories of ancient Indigenous peoples, the arrival of Spanish explorers in the 16th century, and shifting powers that included Mexican governance in the 19th century. This vibrant region didn't just evolve through historical events; it flourished thanks to the contributions of diverse cultures. Native American, Hispanic, and Anglo traditions have all played significant roles in shaping the Southwest's distinctive architecture, mouthwatering cuisine, and the variety of languages spoken here today.

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. 

Photos and Story by Ken Hulsey  If you have ever traveled on California State Route 62 from Palm Springs to Yucca Valley, you may have noticed a small sign off the highway pointing towards a road leading to something called Pioneertown. 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. 

Photos and Story by Ken Hulsey  Many travelers who drive out of Los Angeles and Orange County through the Inland Empire and Cajon Pass to all points east, including Las Vegas, on Interstate 15 don't realize that there are several miles of the old Route 66 that still exist a mere hundred or so yards away.  The old highway that once served as the only road through the pass is now only taken by motorists who want to try and avoid traffic congestion due to accidents or weekend travelers trying to get to Sin City or other desert recreation areas. 

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.
