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.

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.
