Peanut and chocolate has always been a tasty combination. The saltiness of peanuts pairs well with the sweetness of chocolate, which is why many desserts feature this combination of flavors. 01/30/2022 05:00 AM

Big Bend hosts record visitation in 2021
Big Bend hosts record visitation in 2021
The wide-open spaces of west Texas lured a record 581,000 recreational visits to remote Big Bend in 2021. These numbers reflect a 25% increase since 2019 (464,000), the last year the park was completely open, and a 49% increase since 2016 (390,000). Once relatively unknown, the Big Bend area continues to see a significant increase in visitation, and the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in even more visitors seeking out the qualities of this special place. 01/30/2022 05:00 AM
The Journey Continues
The Journey Continues: Who is my neighbor?
My journey this week takes me to the subject of neighbors. In the Gospel of Luke, a man asked our Lord, Jesus Christ, this question: “What must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus replied, “What is written in the Law?” and “How do you read it?” 01/30/2022 05:00 AM

Today’s garden plot: Becoming ‘urbanized’ and ‘revolutionized’
A news flash came across my phone on Friday, Jan. 14, saying “A Major Food Shortage is Coming Again in the United States.” That headline, coupled with what we are seeing in the places we shop, is enough to cause a level of anxiety. 01/23/2022 05:00 AM

The Story Capital of Texas: Wimberley hosts second ever StoryFest Feb. 17-20
Once upon a time, there was a small town in Texas called Wimberley. A cypress-lined creek trickled through its heart to meet the bottle-green waters of the Blanco. Its cedar-studded hills and the rocky spine of Devil’s Backbone provided a backdrop for all manner of tales, and if someone looked at the village just right, it could look like a hundred years ago, or only yesterday. It was one of those kinds of towns. 01/23/2022 05:00 AM
