In our Christian journey, forgiveness is essential. We must continually extend forgiveness to others. To receive God's forgiveness, we must also forgive those who wrong us. Holding on to unforgiveness will only breed more unforgiveness. Forgiveness isn't about keeping track, it's about letting go. Avoid harboring unforgiveness in your heart.
Pastor Steven Roberts from Journey Church delivers a powerful message on the importance of multiplying forgiveness in our lives. He reminds us that as followers of Christ, extending forgiveness to others is absolutely essential to our spiritual growth and well-being. Holding onto bitterness and resentment only poisons our own hearts and hinders our relationship with God. Pastor Roberts encourages us to let go of any unforgiveness we may be harboring, no matter how justified we may feel in our anger or hurt. Forgiveness is not about keeping a tally of wrongs or trying to even the score - it's about choosing to release others from the debt we feel they owe us. As we forgive, we open the door for God's forgiveness and blessings to flow more freely in our own lives. Unforgiveness is like a prison that keeps us stuck in pain, but forgiveness sets us free. So don't allow unforgiveness to take root in your heart. Choose to forgive generously and continually, remembering how much we have been forgiven by God. As we sow seeds of gracious forgiveness, we will reap a harvest of peace, healing, and restoration in our relationships and in our own souls. Embrace the power of multiplied forgiveness and watch how God transforms your life.
Photos and Story by: Ken Hulsey It’s interesting how certain places from our past stick in our memory. Recently, I have been reminiscing about my time in the northern Texas farming town of Vernon from 1974 to 1978. One landmark that stands out in my mind is the Gibson's department store located just off the Highway 287 frontage road. Like many retail and five-and-dime stores of its time (pre-Walmart and Target for you younger folks), Gibson's offered a little bit of everything—clothes, hardware, household goods, and toys.
Photos and Story by Ken Hulsey One of my favorite places here in Louisiana is the Plaquemine Lock State Historic Site. Every opportunity I get to enjoy this location, I take full advantage of it. In a state that sadly doesn't normally take the time to preserve historic places, the fact that the town of Plaquemine and the state of Louisiana actually took the time and spent the money to keep up this amazing location is nothing short of amazing.

Written By Ken Hulsey As our country's 250th birthday approaches, I thought that it would be interesting to put a few things into perspective. First, being old enough to have experienced our great nation's 200th birthday celebration back in 1976, I am somewhat surprised at small number of celebrations across the country. Back in 76, there was a certain sense of excitement about our nations bicentenial. Patriotic themed events and imagery were everywhere. There was a train containing our national treasures, like the Declaration of Independence and the Liberty Bell, touring the country so that every American would have a chance to see them. There was a fleet of tall (sailed) ships touring port cities. Overall, there was a sense of national pride that permeated everything. It was a truly magical time for our country.

Photos and Story by Ken Hulsey Way back in the 1970s, I lived in the small town of Vernon, Texas. At that time, Vernon was a vibrant place with numerous stores and restaurants. The town hosted an annual rodeo called the Santa Rosa Roundup , and for fun, there was a miniature golf course, and there was the small Plaza Theater to see a movie.
Photos and Story by Ken Hulsey I have a knack for finding all kinds of pieces of Louisiana railroad history. This past week, I was traveling down Highway 1 from Shreveport towards Natchitoches when I spied a structure off to my right that my keen eye immediately recognized as a railroad depot. My suspicion was soon confirmed as I pulled up in front of the old Texas & Pacific Railroad depot that once served the nearby town of Powhatan. The location also included an old railroad crossing signal, a replica railroad water tower, and an old gas station.
Story by Ken Hulsey I've been digging through my archives looking for interesting images to post. Since I've been writing about movies and television for well over twenty years, I have amassed a collection of hundreds of images, so weeding through all of them has been quite challenging. My main problem was simply finding a starting point.
From A Sermon by James W Greer Time to Dream | Why Don’t You Dream? (Romans 8:31, NKJV; Romans 8:37, NKJV; Jeremiah 1:7-8, TEV) Your dreams may be troubled, but God’s dreams for you are paramount, and they are good (Jeremiah 29:11, NIV). God’s dreams for your life are far greater than your own. They are not just bigger; they are exceedingly, abundantly more than you can think, dream, or even imagine (Ephesians 3:20, NKJV). God is going before you, arranging all the necessary circumstances for your dreams to come to fruition (Isaiah 45:2-3, TEV). When God gives you a dream, He takes responsibility for opening the right doors and creating the right circumstances (Revelation 3:8, NKJV). All you need to do is your part and then allow God to do His (Hebrews 4:3, NKJV; Hebrews 6:17, NCV).
Photos and Story By Ken Hulsey Our family has cherished our time hiking around Silverwood Lake for years, so I knew a day spent in nature would be a hit for everyone. This beautiful area has been a favorite of ours, offering fantastic opportunities for hiking (just remember to stay on the trails), fishing, boating, and camping. What’s great about Silverwood Lake is its ability to feel serene, even though it's conveniently located near the bustling areas of Los Angeles, San Bernardino, and Orange County. Unlike nearby Big Bear Lake, which often gets crowded on weekends, Silverwood Lake allows you to enjoy a peaceful day if that’s what you’re after.
