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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
If you grew up in Albuquerque, New Mexico , during the 60s, 70s, or 80s, you likely have fond memories of Toys By Roy. The store was easily recognizable thanks to the large rocking horse logo on its front. In 1961, Roy Ater opened his first Toys By Roy in the brand-new Winrock Center Mall, which was marketed as ‘the largest in the Southwest.’ Ater’s toy store quickly became one of the mall's first and most successful retailers. Over the following years, Toys By Roy expanded into a successful franchise with 34 locations across 9 states.
The gunfight is a staple of every Western television show, movie, and pulp novel. If you watched classic TV series like The Rifleman, Gunsmoke, and Wagon Train, you know it was the climactic scene in nearly every episode. The narratives of these popular shows and films, featuring legends such as John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, and Clint Eastwood, portray the Old West as being filled with hired guns, trigger-happy outlaws seeking revenge, and fighters looking for a brawl. It creates tension, doesn't it? Picture a showdown in a deserted street, guns blazing as two men face off in a winner-takes-all battle to the death. The fastest draw usually emerges victorious, that being most often the town marshal or the good-looking hero of the story.

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.
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.
