It was an overcast day at Stroud Lake, but that didn’t stop campers. Many slots near the swimming area and lake ranger’s house were full of RVs, with a few tents interspersed.While there didn’t appear to be any boats on the water, city workers could be heard mowing.

Kingdom of Heaven

Jesus is the only teacher of how to enter into the kingdom of heaven. He is here today, and Jesus said to always watch and pray. Keep our minds on seeing and hearing Him. If we don’t watch, He will pass us by.This is serious because so many think He will come out of the sky.

Memorial Day

Memorial Day weekend was a mixture of visiting several cemeteries and putting out flowers and taking a journey down to the lake and having some down time.My wife Pat and I usually visit four cemeteries, two here in the Shawnee area and two more in Oklahoma City.

Town Talk

Thank you to everyone who came out Memorial Day to pay homage to our deceased veterans; those who didn’t come home from service and all our other veterans who fought for our freedoms.
