Strolling Through Serenity: Discovering the Hidden Beauty of Lecompte at Sunset

Photos and Story by Ken Hulsey

One of the things that I really used to love about living in the small farming town of Lecompte was the ability to take quiet walks around town every Sunday evening. I rarely ever encountered a soul on these walks, and it provided me the opportunity to meditate and have a conversation with the Lord while enjoying the beauty of his creation.

On many such walks I would bring my camera along to capture images of the interesting landscape in around Lecompte. On this October evening I had managed to reach the outskirts of town just as the sun was setting. The clouds from a storm system that moved through the area earlier in the day were still lingering around, and they provided some beautiful hues in the sky above this yet unharvested cane field. 

I thought that everyone would enjoy a little glimpse of the beauty that we enjoy here in central Louisiana.

Today In History: Orson Welles Scares The Crap Out Of America With Famous "War of the Worlds" Radio Broadcast

Image
 Written By Ken Hulsey In my opinion, the broadcast of H.G. Wells' classic novel "War of the Worlds," directed by Orson Welles and his talented Mercury Theater team, is one of the most fascinating moments in human history. It can be challenging for us to understand how this unique radio performance incited widespread panic, with many listeners convinced that Martians were genuinely invading Earth. Yet that’s precisely what happened.

Beyond the Showdowns: The Untold Truth About Gunfights in the Old West | Ken Hulsey

Image
 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.

Tales of the Unkown: The Chilling Mystery of the Buena Park Monster

Image
Written By Ken Hulsey. For over a decade, I have been writing about sightings of Bigfoot-like creatures in and around Southern California. As a general rule, these encounters have taken place in rural, mountainous, and even desert areas. Many of them occurred in secluded locations, while others surprisingly happened in populated areas adjacent to those mountains, forests, and deserts. It seems that Bigfoot wanders into neighborhoods from time to time, probably in search of food.

Roadside Wonders: Meet Dinny and Mr. Rex—California’s Iconic Dinosaur Duo!

Image
 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.

Image
What happens when you’ve made the perfect plan for your life, only to see it all fall apart? In Daniel 11, we learn that kingdoms rise and fall, leaders change, and even our best plans can fail. Yet, through every season of uncertainty, one truth remains: God never changes. Pastor Steven shares his personal journey of returning home from military deployment with dreams of marriage, family, and a carefully crafted future. When those plans fell apart, he faced depression, disappointment, and a loss of purpose.
