Taste Buds

Fried and TrueAndrew … In Genesis 1:28, God calls us to rule over the birds in the sky and the fish in the sea. We covered the birds when we cooked dry-aged duck steaks in the December 2023 issue. Now it is time to dig into the fish. Some of my earliest memories include going with my dad, fishing poles hanging out the back cracked window of his blue Buick Century, and going to a stock tank in Waco, Texas, where I would eventually hook into my first five-pound bass.

Adding Value

There is something magical about a baseball game on a warm spring night, the kind that stretches into the heat of a Texas summer. The crack of the bat followed by the whoosh of a fastball and then the unmistakable pop as it meets the catcher’s mitt.

Good Evening TXK

Every April, nostalgia is in the air with the smell of funnel cakes and fried everything floating on the winds of Texarkana. The Four States Fair and Rodeo rolls into town, bringing with it neon lights, screaming kids, and at least one friend who swears they can handle the spinning rides but will, inevitably, prove otherwise. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the fair, and for me, that number is more than just a milestone. The fair is a reminder of time itself, of how it moves, how it shifts, and how it never stops for anyone. … Growing up, the fair was an event… a tradition.

Who's Watching? … There is so much I don’t understand. I don’t understand what the Shuffle is. Or even if it is the Wamba Shuffle or the Wamby Shuffle. I don’t understand what play action is in football, and I have had it explained to me more than once. I don’t understand the game of bridge, despite having taken lessons three times. I could go on. … Fortunately, none of this is critical to my happiness and wellbeing. There is, however, an area I don’t understand that negatively affects the quality of my life.

Publisher's Letter

There is a saying I recently heard that has not left my heart, “God takes the worst moment of your life and turns it into the first line of your testimony.” This truth resonates deeply, especially as we enter this Easter season, a time when redemption takes center stage. … Easter is the ultimate proof that God brings beauty from ashes. By every human standard, the cross was a tragedy. It was betrayal, suffering, and darkness. But in God’s hands, the worst moment in history became the greatest victory humanity has ever known.
