WOW! A drone show put on by a church in Manvel, Texas depicts our Savior Jesus on the cross.
One of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. Tomorrow, HE IS RISEN.
To be in the College Football Hall of Fame, a coach must have won at least 60% of his games. Mike Leach won 59.6%.

Remember the cake designer that declined to bake a cake for a gay couple’s wedding?
Well, the alphabet mafia is after him again… 🤦🏼♂️
An activist attorney asked Jack to create a custom cake, pink on the inside and blue on the outside, to celebrate and symbolize a “gender transition” 🏳️⚧️🎂
Jack serves everyone but he won’t create a cake with a message that violates his sincerely held religious beliefs. 👏 ✝️

Did you know? Johan Sebastian Bach lost his little daughter and then three sons and then his wife. Then he remarried and then he and his second wife, Anna-Magdalena, lost four more daughters and three sons. Eleven beloved children...
Many researchers have wondered: how Bach managed to handle these losses? How did he not stop breathing, how did his heart not stop? And most importantly, how could he continue to write music? Kantati, cello suites, masses, concerts... The most beautiful music the world has heard. Do you know how he did it?
At the end of the his music, he always wrote "Soli Deo gloria" (Glory to God alone) and in the beginning, "Lord help.” Therefore, you can pray during Bach's music because the music itself is prayer. You could, then, consider Bach's music a conversation between man and God. How do you deal with pain? Worship is the best solace.

The Christian Super Bowl Ad They SHOULD Have Made
A group known as 'He Gets Us' released an advert during the Super Bowl which, whilst perhaps well intentioned, failed to convey anything of the gospel to the hundreds of millions who saw it.
Here's my take on what they should have done.

I hope y'all find this as interesting as I did. This photo was sent in by Traces of Texas reader Chris Hogg. It is of four unidentified graves that he ran across a few years ago while working on a ranch in the oil fields of southeastern Howard County.
The graves belong to a woman and three children who died of cholera while traveling with a wagon train in the mid 1800's. Their names have long since faded from the sandstone used as headstones and nobody knows who they were. But that hasn't kept the ranch from maintaining the graves for well over 100 years now. They built a fence around it and they keep the weeds down.
Just Texans being Texans. Makes me proud to live here. It kind of brings a little lump to my throat, thinking of these people and the way they lived and the suffering and how they've been cared for all these years by folks who never knew them. Thanks to Chris for sending this to me!
Big Spring in West Texas is known for their poinsettias—lighted poinsettias to be exact.
Officially deemed the Lighted Poinsettia Capital of Texas in 2017, the town displays giant flowers for all to see at its annual Festival of Lights. https://t.co/OOc7XDeVPZ
