New report shines a light on flawed Texas water planning processes

A new study commissioned by the Texas Conservation Alliance shines a glaring light on potential flaws in the state’s water planning process as a whole.

MODERN DAY SAINT

MODERN DAY SAINT

I’m fascinated with history, especially religious history. I’ve heard about Assisi, Italy for decades ever since I heard the story of St. Francis of Assisi. This week I discovered a story about a teenage boy who will be canonized as a saint on April 27 by the Catholic Church. The teenager is named Carlo Acutis.

Sticky Grace for Easter

Sticky Grace for Easter

April has rolled in with all the cheer of Easter promises, the heat of a Texas campfire, and some rainy days. I should’ve known better.

Spring is definitely coining! God promised in Genesis 1:14, “Then God said, 'Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and they shall serve as signs and for seasons, and for days and years'' Spring isn’t here just yet, but don't tell that to the bees. 04/09/2025 09:02 AM
