HAPPY NEW YEAR! Vicki and I wish you all a blessed and prosperous new year! May you be rich in good health, a loving family, and safety! I suppose that all the families with children in school were glad to see school back in session Monday.

Heavenly Father, I believe you are God. You are the Creator of Heaven and Earth. You are the God of eternity. You are the ‘Lover’ of my soul.

The Huckabay Lady Indians weathered a tough start on Friday and then held on to claim a 45-24 victory in a showdown of two state-ranked Class A girls’ squads.
