It’s Time to Get Up

Acts 12:6-11 

 Emotional Monsters | Two Chains 

 Fear – Says you cannot go where you are supposed to go; you cannot do what you need to do. 

 Doubt – will God help me; is God for me; am I good enough? 

 Shake off the chains of fear and doubt. (2 Timothy 1:7 )

Emotional Monsters of discouragement and intimidation can not hold you down. The enemy wants to stop you and keep you from being free. Confront your fear, overcome your doubt, and break free from them. Emotional Monsters of closed gates, the enemy will use to hold you back from the purpose, the plan, and the dream that God has for your life.

 Emotional Monsters will break

 Emotional monsters will break when the Light shines; the Light of the Gospel will bring Victory. Emotional monsters will break when we get up! Encourage yourself in the Lord. Walk by faith not by sight. Humble yourself before the mighty hand of God, resist the devil and he will flee. (James 4:7) The doors are already open; opens doors no man can shut, choose to get up! - Pastor James Greer

Echoes of Transportation History: Unearthing the Forgotten Trolley Bus of Ford Park

Image
Photos and Story by Ken Hulsey Last week, I posted a very popular article about the Dardanelle and Russellville Railroad 2-6-0 Steam Locomotive #10 at Ford Park in Shreveport. Thanks to Brad Driggers of the Abandoned Louisiana group on Facebook, I learned that old Number 10 isn't the only transportation-related relic residing there. Thanks to the directions provided by Brad, I was able to go on an expedition into the remote northwest section of the park where, deep in the tree line, sits the remains of an old Shreveport Railway Trolley Bus. At this time, the old trolley is barely visible, with only the tail end sticking out of the vines. Though I wanted to explore it more thoroughly, I could only manage to climb through the flora enough to access the rear window and stick my camera inside for a few photos. I also want to give a shout-out to Rick Lewis of Abandoned Louisiana for warning me that the area is home to several venomous snakes. Thanks to Rick's warning, I made a lot o...

In the Footsteps of Steam Giants: Celebrating the Timeless Journey of Santa Fe Locomotive #3751

Image
 Photos and Story By Ken Hulsey Back in 2012, the San Bernardino Railroad Days in San Bernardino, California, featured a true star of railroading: the ex-Santa Fe "Northern" locomotive #3751. The event attracted a lively crowd of railroad enthusiasts and photographers who eagerly lined the tracks in front of the beautifully preserved vintage passenger depot, all hoping to capture a glimpse of this remarkable piece of living history. As expected, this proud locomotive of the Santa Fe steamed down the Metrolink tracks from her home in Los Angeles, presenting an impressive sight for all to behold.

From Gold Nuggets to Family Ties: The Endearing Charm of The Apple Dumpling Gang

Image
 Written by Ken Hulsey A couple of weeks back, I decided to start posting the trailers from some of my favorite movies. Being a child of the 70s, I naturally opted to start my new series in that decade. The first film that I went with was the 1976 action/comedy Silver Streak. Today I decided to feature The Apple Dumpling Gang from 1975, which holds the distinction of being the first film that I ever saw in a movie theater.

He Was 'Grumpy' Long Before Land of the Lost: How Wah Chang's Dinosaurs Captured the Hearts of a Generation

Image
 Written by Ken Hulsey This morning I was going through more of my photos from the Monster Island News archive when I stumbled across this one of the puppet used for 'Grumpy' the Tyrannosaurus who menaced the Marshall family in the 70s Saturday morning science fiction series Land of the Lost. I believe that the image originally came from a 1998 Sid & Marty Krofft memorabilia auction when it was sold to a private collector.

The museum is situated on the site of the former Long Leaf Sawmill Complex, which was one of many mill complexes in the region. While the mill itself is fascinating to explore, I chose to focus on the old facilities of the Red River and Gulf Railroad on this gloomy day.

Unveiling Southern Charm: A Day at Rosedown Plantation in St. Francisville

Image
 Last week my travels brought me to the Rosedown Plantation State Historic Site in St. Francisville, Louisiana. Over the past few years, I have been through St. Francisville a handful of times, and I have to say that the town is one of my favorite locations here in Louisiana. The town is quiet, charming, and filled with history. From the nearby John James Audubon Bridge. Audubon State Historic Site, St. Francisville Historic District, to the preserved Illinois Central Railroad Caboose, the town provides the visitor the perfect place to spend a day just exploring. Located just over 30 minutes north of the State Capitol of Baton Rouge, St. Francisville is easy to get to and should be considered a must-see location for anyone visiting the region.
