As with every other aspect of life, the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the decision process of high school graduates as they weigh work-or-school choices.
“Image of Scorpius” is the latest art exhibition at the San Marcos Art Center featuring the work of world-renowned artist and San Marcos native, Bill Hutson. Hutson, born in 1936, was raised in the Dunbar neighborhood of San Marcos. His work, “Variations on a Marigold (with Scorpius)” will be featured at the San Marcos Art Center from Jan. 12 through March 20 during Art Center hours of operation. Due to the rise in COVID-19 cases, The San Marcos Art League, sponsors of the San Marcos Art Center, invites art lovers to view the piece in the front window of the Art Center on Jan. 16 across from this year’s Hays County CommonUnity MLK Jr. Festival in Downtown San Marcos.

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.
My journey this week reminded me that the Lord’s word is our refuge and strength.
