The militancy of Democrats, in many ways, brought about by Kamala Harris, with her backing of bails for Black Lives Matters protesters, is responsible for all of these protests. Minneapolisisnot a Republican city, yet Democrat hatred of Cops, which was allowed to stew because of the inaction of Harris’ running mate, Tim Walz, as governor of Minnesota, stood by and took no action during the George Floyd riots. His indecision allowed Minneapolis and other places to burn, and who knows how many innocent people lost their lives including billions lost to businesses and individuals, andnowthepeopleinthose areas have to live with the aftermath of food and pharmacy deserts, along with unsafe feelings, because Democrat District Attorney’s refuse to prosecutecrime. So there is ample evidence that Democrats should have no business winning elections this fall. The big question is how big istheDemocratvoterigging machine. Withsomanythat With were participating in it in 2020, many may have become disillusioned with Dems since. We have seen Dem cheat schemes that have been busted and reported on in elections since2020,sotherisksmay be much higher this time. Plus,theGOPpollwatching efforts this time, appear to haveastrongerfooting. The weak GOP backbone of the past has definitely strengthened.

In a previous article, I mentioned that early colonist, businessman,
W Shepperd, performed the first wedding in what is
today Montgomery County Shepperd officiated the wedding of his daughter Julia Shepperd and Charles B. Stewart on March 11 1836 at his house in the Lake Creek Settlement The Lake Creek settlement was the earliest Anglo-American Settlementinwhatistoday Montgomery County This weddingalsoappearstobe the first wedding in the Republic of Texas for which there is a written record.
As they used to say Shepperd was a man of many parts A colonist originally from Surry County North Carolina, he arrived inAustin’s Colony in1831.Hewasamember ofaverysuccessfulfamily His brother was a United States Congressman from North Carolina,Augustine Henry Shepperd Before coming to Texas, his son, Jacob Shepperd, had attended the United States Military Academy West Point.

There was a post office before there was a town or acountynamedMontgomery The establishment of t
t Shepperd’s store on May 17 1837 preceded the founding of the town of Montgomery in July of 1837byabouttwomonths. The establishment of the post office preceded the creation of Montgomery County on December 14, 1837, by about seven months. Shepperd served as the first postmaster for three years, from 1837 to 1840.Followinghissaleof thetownofMontgomeryto JamesMcCown,Shepperd turned his position as postmasterovertohissonin-law,CharlesB.Stewart, who was appointed on April5,1840.
In the next article, we will look at W W Shepperd’s role with regard to Montgomery County’s first courthouse. Asateaser,itwillbeshown that Montgomery County did not own Montgomery County’s first courthouse. Cash-strapped Montgomery County could not afford a courthouse building, so Montgomery County rented its first courthouse from someone. Guesswho?

TheWondersoftheMostHigh
ByBenVanArragon
Now that I am
I havemadepeacewiththefact that life in this world is humbling.Itisnotaquestion of whether you will be humbled, but how you will respond. When Nebuchadnezzar put himself in God’s place, God put Nebuchadnezzar in his place Having been humbled, Nebuchadnezzar had a choice. He could fight torecapturehisoldpowerand glory, or he could acknowledge the true source of all powerandtheOnedeserving o f a l l g l o r y Nebuchadnezzar’s eyes were opened to a glory infinitely greater than his own He discovered true peace not in pride,butpraise. There is such relief in relinquishing our pride and reorientingourselvesthrough praise Nebuchadnezzar called his humbling circumstances “wonders that the MostHighGodhasdone”(v 2).Whenwearepreoccupied with God’s glory we see it even in moments that wound our pride Those moments remind us that God is God, and we are not. When our glory fades, God’s glory shines through. As Paul puts it, “For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities For when I am weak, then I am strong” (2 Cor 12:10). Asyoupray,askGodtobe glorified, even when you are humbled.
