One can have a heart towards Godly leadership, and another could have a heart of worldly leadership. In this insightful message, Ps. Leanne helps us decipher between the two leadership styles.
In her powerful and thought-provoking message, Pastor Leanne Matthesius of Awaken Church dives deep into the concept of "A Tale of Two Hearts" - the stark contrast between a heart inclined towards Godly leadership versus one pulled by the allure of worldly leadership. With wisdom and insight, she illuminates the key differences that set these two leadership styles apart. A leader with a heart for God seeks to serve with humility, compassion, and a steadfast commitment to biblical principles. They lead by example, putting the needs of others before their own and striving to emulate the servant leadership modeled by Jesus Christ himself. In contrast, a worldly leader may be driven by selfish ambition, pride, and a hunger for power and recognition. Through vivid illustrations and scriptural truths, Pastor Leanne guides us in discerning between these two divergent paths, urging us to examine our own hearts and motives. She inspires us to cultivate a heart that beats in sync with God's will, one that seeks to lead with integrity, grace, and a unwavering dedication to building His kingdom rather than our own. As we navigate the challenges and responsibilities of leadership, may we be ever mindful of the tale of two hearts, and may we choose daily to align our own with the heart of the ultimate servant leader - our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Written by Tina Martin Make this phase of your life your Healing Era. You either have to solve it, resolve it, or release it. Healing is a deeply personal journey and should be done quietly. Detach yourself from any energy (person, place, or critter) that doesn’t respect your journey. Be kind. Be safe. Be respectful.
Photos and Story By Ken Hulsey You can't miss the towering 100-foot giants standing proudly by the highway! That was exactly the vision of restaurant owner and artist Claude Bell when he created a colossal replica of a Brontosaurus, affectionately named Dinny. Built from leftover materials from the construction of the nearby I-10 freeway, this awe-inspiring creature came to life in 1964, complete with a gift shop nestled inside to entice hungry travelers to the Wheel Inn Restaurant. Fast forward to 1981, and Dinny welcomed a formidable companion—a Tyrannosaurus Rex named Mr. Rex! Initially, Mr. Rex was equipped with a slide for adventurous kids, but safety concerns led to the slide being removed and plastered over, ensuring that everyone could enjoy the spectacle without worry.

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.
From History.com At 9:32 a.m. EDT, Apollo 11 , the first U.S. lunar landing mission, is launched on a historic journey to the surface of the moon. After traveling 240,000 miles in 76 hours, Apollo 11 entered into a lunar orbit on July 19. The next day, at 1:46 p.m., the lunar module Eagle, manned by astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin, separated from the command module, where a third astronaut, Michael Collins , remained. Two hours later, the Eagle began its descent to the lunar surface, and at 4:18 p.m. the craft touched down on the southwestern edge of the Sea of Tranquility. Armstrong immediately radioed to Mission Control in Houston a famous message, “The Eagle has landed.” At 10:39 p.m., five hours ahead of the original schedule, Armstrong opened the hatch of the lunar module. Seventeen minutes later, at 10:56 p.m., Armstrong spoke the following words to millions listening at home: “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” A moment later, he ...

Rocks That Seem To Extend Endlessly Into The Pacific Ocean - Oceanside California - By Ken Hulsey Written by Ken Hulsey "Huh! I should think that you Jedi would have more respect for the difference between knowledge and... heh heh heh... wisdom." - Dexter Jettster (Star Wars) Only this Space Cowboy would start off a post about wisdom with a quote from a Star Wars movie. It may be a sign that I need some of that elusive wisdom because I chose not to quote a wise Star Wars character like Yoda or Obi-Wan Kenobi in favor of something uttered by an intergalactic fry cook in a movie that I don't particularly care for instead.
Photos and Story by Ken Hulsey In its heyday, Route 66 was a literal haven of roadside attractions and souvenir emporiums. Some of these landmarks were rather interesting, while the others truly deserved the title 'tourist trap'. Indeed, the 2,448-mile highway that spanned from Chicago to Los Angeles was a thing of wonder for anyone who pulled over from time to time as well as anyone who simply spent the hours staring out the window.
Written By Ken Hulsey Monster movie fans often have fond memories of 200-foot-tall creatures like Godzilla, King Kong, Rodan, Mothra, and Varan stomping on buildings as terrified townspeople flee in terror. However, the unsung hero who brought these iconic monsters to life has rarely received credit - Haruo Nakajima, a Japanese actor who donned the heavy rubber costumes from 1954 to 1972 to portray Toho's most famous movie monsters.
Photos By Ken Hulsey Text from signage adjacent to the railcar History of ICG 199328 The St. Francisville Caboose is an important historical attraction for the town. The caboose was purchased by the town in 1995 and moved to its current location through a generous donation by Richard Holcomb. The intention was that it would serve to remind visitors and future generations of the history of the West Feliciana Railroad, the third oldest railroad in the United States. The WFRR ran from Bayou Sara to Woodville, MS from 1834 to 1978, carrying the region's valuable cotton crop to the Mississippi River where it could be easily shipped to New Orleans. It was innovative, ahead of its time and necessary.
