As seniors in high school begin to graduate this month, my advice for them is that this is only the beginning; although your senior year was cut short, and nothing I can say can make that any better, I do hope you will enjoy every single moment of the next season of your life...whether that be college, military, the workforce, or trade school.

I have always been into computers and gaming online since around the age of 12 or 13. I guess it started with messing around with our family’s Ti-99/4a. A personal home computer released around 1981. I use to get computer magazines and back then they would publish codes to program games. It was pain stacking and took hours upon hours but in the end, you had a cool game to play.

KC: “Life for me has not changed much. I still have all my responsibilities at work.

Even though we are a public entity, we are doing our best to practice social distancing with our customers to keep them and us as safe as possible.

1. As you think about your high school years, what is a favorite memory? “There is one occasion that I vividly remember and continues to make me laugh today. Quint got finished welding a trailer and walked up to the table I was sitting at in the ag shop. He started a normal conversation, but it didn’t take long for me to notice his leg was on fire.

What is a H.O.M.E. Mom?

For any woman in Christ, she is now a new creation. Her spirit is now awakened and has started her new journey as a spiritual mother in training being led by the Holy Spirit Himself, guiding her on the straight path of righteousness. A House of Mercy mom depends on the father above and puts him first above all things as she prepares to go through this wonderful and beautiful life that God created for her. What do the letters ‘M O M’ stand for you ask? – Mother on a Mission. And that mission is to let Christ shine so bright through her that others see nothing, but the power of Jesus Christ’s love pours out of her soul, overflowing with compassion and love. Who would have ever thought God would pick a little tiny town by the name of Olney, Texas to be the light on a hill for the city to see, but it doesn’t stop there. Now, these hand-picked moms are spreading their wings like eagles to carry that Light of Christ to destinations that are endless. So, therefore my House of Mercy moms, I say to you, God bless.
