Acosta’s mural honors Joe and Wanda Reuss

On February 22, 2025, the Pharmacy and Medical Museum of Texas unveiled the stunning Museum Founder’s Mural, created by talented artist Rafael Acosta, Jr. This remarkable piece serves as a poignant tribute from Joe Reuss to his beloved wife, Wanda, who passed away in 2011. The mural embodies Joe's deep love and admiration for Wanda, capturing their enduring bond.

HB2988 threatens Texans’ right to free speech

Texas Press Association Note: The following op-ed on the threat to the Texas Citizens Participation Act — also known as our anti- SLAPP law — is available for publication by all TPA members.

Monthly supper back in Nordheim, even when its cold

GOD first...Heavenly Father, many of us have priorities in things we try to accomplish. Lots of times those priorities get altered because of incidents that come into our lives. Help us to realize that when things don't go our way, we know that we are being tested or plans for us are altered because most of the time You are in control and things we want aren't in the plans You have for us. Lord, Help us to put our trust in things to come as we pray in the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen. 02/26/2025 03:55 PM
