  • CAPITOLETTER

    Karen Odell|Updated Jun 13, 2024

    June 10, 2024 There was a tiny shower of rain near Tie Creek on Sunday morning. The multitude of grasshoppers at least calmed down a little, and the morning was very cool.

Last Monday, Mindy Yates and Kendall Shepherd came to Ronda’s to do bull testing. It’s always a question as to how those critters will be, to bring in and have in the corral. Diane Wear, Gen...

    Hello God, it's me, Mara: You know, Lord, Father's Day is next Sunday, it was special to watch the younger and older guys being 'Father's'. Before the church service began, one guy sat with several little girls; their mommy was off tending to, 'whatever'. They were in the front row, but he carefully lifted the little one, maybe 3 years old, way up, holding tightly to her legs – she 'stood' straight and tall, waved her arms, smiled; once back down, hugged her daddy tightly.
