Some had a part in the forming of DeSoto County and leadership in the early county. DeSoto County was formed May 19, 1887, a few years after the war between the states. The Veterans Memorial here has bricks honoring soldiers from both sides. Many of our leaders were in the Southern Army during the war. Please come out and help us honor some of our founders.

Are You Saved Is The Big Question Today In Our World

Folks ask yourselves these questions; How can I know for sure if I have eternal life when I die? Do I practice sin or righteousness in my life? Do I love the things of our world? Am I caught up in the pride of life? Do I desire whatever my eyes see? Does my heart condemn me the way I live? Does my belief about Jesus Christ match what the Bible teaches about him? Folks these are very important questions. In the book of John a man named Nicodemus who was a Pharisee and a ruler of the Jews went to Jesus at night and asked him how can he be saved. Jesus answered and said to him unless one is born again he cannot see God’s kingdom. Nicodemus was confused so Jesus explained it farther. Jesus told him unless one is born of water and the spirit he cannot enter into Heaven. One has to be born of the spirit not the flesh. The only way to do this folks is to make a commitment to Christ. Confessing your faith in Jesus Christ confessing him as your Savior and Lord. Trusting him and believing that he died for you and only through faith in his death and resurrection are sins forgiven. Folks when you finally make this decision you will receive salvation and be saved. Romans chapter 10 verse 9 tells us that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead you will be saved. Romans chapter 10 verse 13 tells us For whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved. Folks this could be the greatest decision you have ever made. Remember Jesus is the only way we can receive this salvation and be saved. Acts 4:12 tells us There is salvation in no one else for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved. Folks by grace you will be saved through faith and not of yourselves. It is a gift from God. John 14:6 tells us Jesus said to him I am the way the truth and the life no one comes to the Father but through me. Romans 6:23 also tells us for the wages of sin is death but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Folks I hope I have given you enough information that you know how to be saved. Remember Jesus Christ is the key on being saved. Folks don’t risk your soul if you haven’t done it. It’s so easy just pray the sinners prayer. Dear God I know I am a sinner. I believe Jesus died for my sins and only through faith in his death and resurrection can I be forgiven. I am asking right now for Jesus to come into my life as my Savior and Lord. Thank you Lord for loving and forgiving me. Amen. Thank You.

“THE DREAM”

Peace River Shopper

Chapter 9 by Bumpy Thermos My Aunt sure was a mess. She was all worried about her son Tommy. I tried to calm her down a little, but she just continued to cry. After a few more minutes, she said that she wanted to show me something. She got up and went into her bedroom. She came out with a large piece of tangled leather. At least that’s what it looked like to me. She handed it to me and asked me to look at it. Well I couldn’t figure out what it was, so I had to ask her. She took it out of my hands and opened it up. It was some kind of a harness, like for a big animal. It must have been a very big animal, because it was huge. I took it back and started looking it over. It had teeth marks on it and a lot of blood. You could tell it was old, or at least badly worn out. It looked like that whatever was wearing it must have had it torn off of them. It was very scratched up and discolored. My buddy looked at it and the first thing he said was that the smell of it was very strong. Maybe like some kind of a big bear. But, that he couldn’t be sure because it just smelled different. Which I thought was strange because he was a serious hunter and he should be able to recognize the smell. Or at least think it smelled like something he knew. Weird huh? Anyway she said that one morning when she went outside to feed the chickens, that this harness thing was hanging on the fence post with pieces of blonde hair all over it. Long pieces of hair. That she tried to clean off the hair, but couldn’t so she just hung it up on the clothes line so she could ask Tommy about it when she saw him again. After all, she lived alone. My Uncle had passed away years ago and who else was she going to ask. Tommy was the only other person that she ever saw and that was very rare to even see him. She said that the harness hung on the clothes line for a long time and finally she finished cleaning it up and brought it into the house. I asked her if the hair was long and thick like animal hair. She put her head in her hands and said no. I think it was Tommy’s hair. Then she started crying again. Tommy’s hair?? That’s not right, so I asked her again if she was sure it was Tommy’s? She said, shaking her head, yes I am. It’s my boys hair, I know it is. I know it is. It’s my boy Tommy’s hair. I tried to ask her if she had seen Tommy since then and she said, no I haven’t. Then she sits down on the couch with the harness and started crying again. What now? What are we supposed to do now. Just leave her here? Just leave her here not knowing about Tommy?? My first thought is, yep, let’s get the heck out of here. Right now…But then after thinking about it, I decided to call the police. I picked up the phone and there was no dial tone. I turned to my Aunt and was already looking at me shaking her head. We haven’t had a working phone for years…
