Is He first in our life?

Colossians 1:18 AMP

He also is the Head of [His] body, the church; seeing He is
the Beginning, the Firstborn from among the dead, so that He alone in everything and in every respect might occupy the chief place [stand
first and be preeminent].
Don't know about you but when I look at my life there are way too many places where I have Him in other places but not first! Thankfully we have 1 John 1:9!!

Privilege and opportunity

2002482696

The benefits of a volunteer position are two fold, the organization you serve and to yourself! To whom much is given, much is required.

Texas Association of Realtors

One more regional meeting as a TAR director then the State convention and my tenure as a director is done...for now! Have really enjoyed moving up to State level. It's been educational and rewarding representing our fine Realtor organization and the good fight for private property rights issues.

5 new rights for property owners in HOAs

Nearly 20% of Texans live in neighborhoods that have homeowners associations (HOAs), and new laws that went into effect earlier this year have provided more rights to those property owners regarding the use of their property.

Here are five property-related upgrades or additions that HOAs can no longer prevent homeowners from doing:

  1. Install a solar-energy device on the property.
  2. Install and use rain-harvesting devices.
  3. Display certain religious items on the entry of the property.
  4. Install roof shingles that are wind and/or hail resistant, energy efficient, or solar generating.
  5. Fly the U.S., Texas, or a branch of the U.S. armed forces flag.


Each of these rights apply to condos as well. It's important to note that a homeowners association may place some parameters on these rights.

Meals on Wheels

Had a great time celebrating 35 years of service to Ellis-Johnson Counties by this most wonderful organization, Meals on Wheels.

The event was held at our Texas State Representative's home, Rob Orr. Food service was provided by  Pappas Catering and was by far some of the best catered food I have tasted! Of course with great food there must be some really good wine and there was definitely that! Provided by Lost Oak Winery from Burleson, President and vintner Gene Estes brought several exceptional tasting wines that pared well with the food. Check out their web site for information on wine tastings, tours and upcoming events!

As for Meals on Wheels they provide a much needed service to our needy home bound elderly and disabled persons, to assist them to remain independent and healthy in their homes by providing home-delivered meals, daily personal contact, and support for individuals and their families.

If you have ever dealt with the elderly or disabled and seen how some of them literally go without food or, in many cases can't get to the food they have or aren't able to open a can or a package, you would get involved! Please do something today, again through volunteering or your donations.
