Former Pastor back for graduation, Koffee Klatch

GOD first...Heavenly Father, while going from place to place and meeting new people, help us to remember that others are meeting us for the first time too. As we try to remember faces, names, and greet them, our first impressions, as well as theirs, are filled with new interest in each other. Lord, help us to think about how meeting with our Savior will be like when we first meet with our Spirits as we are joined in heaven. Help us to pray in ernest for the Redeemer to be with us as we pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. 06/04/2025 05:49 AM

Medicaid cuts threaten future of Cuero hospital

Medicaid cuts threaten future of Cuero hospital

As someone who has spent decades in hospitals – first as a nurse and hospital administrator and later as a Board member – I’ve seen firsthand how fragile life can be when people don’t have access to healthcare. That’s why I’m deeply alarmed by current efforts in Congress to cut Medicaid. If they succeed, it won’t be some far-off problem. It will hit us here at home, hard. 06/04/2025 05:49 AM
