The first signs were quiet. In fact, only a mother’s intuition could hear them. Long before there was a diagnosis, before therapy sessions and evaluations and unfamiliar medical terms, Jasmine Wilson simply noticed that her daughter experienced the world differently. … While other babies reached for cuddles or rocked peacefully to sleep, Kylee pulled away from touch. When her tiny hands should have been grasping Cheerios from a tray, hers struggled to coordinate the movement. Balance seemed uncertain, and sounds and textures overwhelmed her.

Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. —Psalm 127:1 … For the Sarine family, that verse is not decorative sentiment—it is the story of how their home came to be. Nearly a decade ago, the Sarines had plans to build in an entirely different neighborhood. Those plans were set aside, and in time, they came to see that pause as a gift. “We originally planned to build a totally different house plan in a different neighborhood almost 10 years earlier, but the Lord had us put a pause on that home,” Emily Sarine reflects.

The Business of the Budget

Every year, Arkansans expect their state government to handle taxpayer dollars the same way families handle their household budgets: thoughtfully, carefully, and with clear priorities. Think about how you manage your own finances. You do not just spend without a plan. You look at what is coming in, your fixed expenses, and what needs attention in the months ahead. You may even set aside time each year to review everything, adjust for changes in income, rising costs, or new priorities.

Good Evening TXK

Certain people in life quietly become the center of everything without ever trying to be. These very special people do not demand attention, they do not chase recognition, yet somehow the entire room feels warmer, more joyful the moment they walk in. For my family, that person has always been my Granny. … This January, she turned 80, which still feels impossible to anyone who knows her.

Publisher's Letter

Some things have a way of bringing everyone to the same place at the same time. For this region, the Four States Fair and Rodeo is one of those things. It does not matter how packed the calendar is or how many other obligations are competing for the weekend. When the fair comes to town, families show up. It has always been that way, and I hope it always will be. … My own fair memories start in Cass County, sneaking in every possible ride at the Atlanta Forest Festival before my parents came back to pick me up. And I do mean pick me up, because that is how it worked back then.
