Congratulations to our very first cover guy, Chris Colston! We wish you much success in all your endeavors!

On weekends, country artist Chris Colston stands beneath concert lights. But, during the week, Colston has been trading his guitar for a laptop as he earned a degree from Tyler Junior College.

MEMORIAL DAY

Today, we pause from the hunt, the harvest, and the hustle…to remember the brave men and women who laid down their lives for our freedom.

Their courage allows us to live, work, and raise our families on this land we love.

Their memory lives in every flag waving proudly, every folded uniform tucked away with pride, and every story passed down from generation to generation.

We remember. We are grateful. We will never forget.

by Royce Jordan I am always amazed at the weather, and springtime temperatures in our great State of Texas, and how much they vary depending on what part of the state you just happen to be traveling. In April, there is never a guarantee on what type of clothing you’ll…
