The Journey Continues

The Journey Continues: On the love of dogs

My journey this week took me to the waiting room of a local veterinarian clinic along with my wife, Judy, who was ministering to a friend and her dog. Proverbs 12:10a (NIV), “A righteous man cares for the needs of his animals…” I have written columns about two friends, Dr. Fred Simmons, and his Kingdom Dogs, and Major(ret) Clyde Schneider’s story about Tic Toc, the squadron mascot when he was in the Air Force. 06/27/2021 05:00 AM

Decadent Desserts

Decadent Desserts

Quite often people hear the word “dessert” and immediately think of a calorie- and fat-laden decadence that may set them back several hours on the treadmill. While it is true that some desserts can pack a heavy punch, others need not make people fear for their waistlines. 06/27/2021 05:00 AM

Herbert Lee “Butch” Crunk

Herbert Lee “Butch” Crunk

Herbert Lee “Butch” Crunk went to be with our Lord Jesus on Wednesday, June 16th, 2021 after a lengthy illness. Butch was born on April 15th, 1939 in San Marcos. He spent his life there and in its surrounding towns. He worked for several car dealerships over the years, including Red Simon Ford, Chuck Nash Chevrolet, and Lulling Ford, just to name a few. To Butch, these were more than jobs — it was a dedication to his customers that spanned multiple decades. Butch had a passion for sports — fishing, bowling, golf, and was arguably the best fast-pitched softball pitcher San Marcos has ever seen. However, the most important thing in his life was family. He cherished spending the holidays with loved ones - he will be greatly missed by many. 06/27/2021 05:00 AM
