treat-Girl Scout cookies. This year
will be no exception.
The Girl Scout Cookie rogram,
an integral part of Girl Scouting's
Business and Economic Literacy
initiative for girls ages 6-17, pro-
vides finance, marketing, and pub-
lic speaking skills, along with valu-
able experiences that build girls'
self-confidence and help them
develop their own personal leader-
ship style.
"The Girl Scout Cookie
Program is a valuable part of the
Girl Scout experience. The skills
girls gain truly help them develop
into future business leaders," said
Circle T Council CEO Patricia R.
Thomson, Ph.D.
"It is always exciting to see
girls developing skills they might
not realize they are developing
while it is happening. Whether they
are dreaming of becoming a doctor,
teacher, businesswoman, president
of the PTA, or superstar athlete, the
Girl Scout Cookie Program gives
them the self-esteem they need to
reach for the stars."
Girl Scouts is proud to
announce that all varieties of Girl
Scout cookies are now "zero trans
fat per serving," in compliance
with FDA regulations. This change
was made because, like most suc-
cessful businesswomen, Girl
Scouts listen to their customers. In
addition, Girl Scouts will have on
hand a new flavor, "Lemonades,"
savory shortbread slices cwith a
refreshingly tangy lemon icing
make any day feel like a sweet
summer break/ '

but it can sometimes be so overwhelming that we do not want to pray. The
physiological response of the human body to painful stimuli is diminished
concentration. Whether we are lacking words or focus, the Bible tells us
that the Holy Spirit is stepping in to speak for us with “groaning too deep
for words” (Romans 8:26) Those cries of “Help” are being heard.
Occasionally, our call for aid is to sort out confounding situations. We
groan in our spirit, seeking answers to our pain and confusion. Trust the
Spirit of God, He is your Helper, the only One who can help!
Hey, hope that all of your have a great week. Stay safe and happy, and
thanks for reading!!

subject to call on duty. These people keep our country safe and we should
all be more appreciative of their sacrifices to be away from their homes

Only one historic happening was reported in the second week of
January of 1884. On the 14th fence cutters struck 8 miles south of
Cleburne, destroying the new barbed-wire fences of Norman Miller, Wash
Luce, J.W. Capps and The Shaw and Henderson Ranch.
PIONEERS TRAVELS OF 1843-
“This prairie land was in its beauty, no plow had ever skimmed its
surface, no barbed wire, no wall or ditch crossed the trail of the Indian
hunter, the wild deer in his flight, or the wild horse in his rambles. A car-
pet of green grass now covered the land, and our horses and cattle no
longer rambled in search of food. Over this beautiful prairie country we
traveled day after day, following a dim wagon way. Now and then we
would cross a small stream, hedged in by a narrow strip of timber or
brush. On these creeks we would camp at night, hobble our horses and
turn our oxen on the prairie, then the tents were stretched and the camp
fires were kindled, and the good women would prepare the supper, for
which we were always ready. Our dogs kept the night watch, while the
wolves prowled around and howled in the distance and the night owl
called his mate, and many a tale and exciting laugh was heard around
those camp fires by those who will never hear them again.
Now having spoken of the wolf, I will relate an exciting chase we had
.. This column has appeared in the Grandview Tribune and The
West News for over twenty years. In that time I have shared it with
friends and family who do not subscribe to either paper. In recent
weeks a couple of my non subscriber readers have had adventures
that are worth sharing.
The first one that I would like to introduce to you is I. T. Winter.
I consider him a good friend though I have never met him personal-
ly. Several years ago I received a letter from him thanking me for mv
column which he had read in the West News. I.T. was raised in West
but when I met him he was living in Ft. Worth . I called him on the
phone and asked him if I could add his name to my mailing list. He
agreed So he became one of my friends. Every so often I would get
a card from him telling me that I had been prayed for that morning at
a prayer breakfast at his church. He was a conservative as am I but
he has a brother in California who is not a conservative. LT. would
mail him an occasional column in an effort to convert him. He had a
women. Project Troop to Troop is a practice that was very effective. He would hand out $2 bills as an
collaborative effort of Girl Scouts - opening to witness about God s saving grace. Late in the summer My
----- - ---- columns were being returned to me but we were gone for a number
of weeks in August so I figured that I.T. had probably passed away
and I had missed the obit in the Ft Worth paper. On Dec. 17th his
obituary appeared in the Ft Worth paper. He had a stroke late in the
summer. His obituary also appeared in the West News in late
December. He was a fine gentleman and he had a lot of friends I was
privileged to be one of those on the periphery. I will miss him.
Many of you, I am sure, have seen in the paper about the bliz-
zards in Colorado , Nebraska , and Kansas . We have a grand-daugh-
ter and her husband live in Holdrege , Nebr. They missed the snow
but they got an unbelievable ice storm. The whole town has been
without power for over a week. The only available power is from
portable generators. One day this week a truck pulled into the Wal-
Mart parking lot with 300 portable generators and they were still
standing in line when the last one was sold. 11 is estimated that over
600 miles of electric lines will have to be replaced in the area. They
have lost all their frozen food in the deep freeze. They have a busi-
ness that has suffered the same fate as their home. Most businesses
are out of business because they can’t operate their cash registers.
Some homes have hot water because they have gas heaters but even
their gas furnaces require electricity. Keeping warm is almost impos-
sible. There has been very little on TV or in the paper about their
plight. If the disaster had been a Hurricane in Louisiana the Federal

after a large black wolf on our last day’s march before reaching the Trinity
timber. The wolf sprang from his grassy covet, just in front of our wagon
train, and bounded away across (he plains, looking back at every jump, as
much as to say,"Idepend upon my wolfship and speed for safety.” The
wagon train was 'halted and one of our crowd called William, sprang from
his wagon, pistol in hand, and dismounting a boy who was riding a
favorite mare, mounted her bareback and dashed away after the wolf, at
the rate of about 40 miles a hour. Another of the boys who was walking
and leading a horse, mounted him also bareback, with a halter for a bridle,
and joined the chase, but the horse thinking a race was up, struck a bee
line not for the wolf, but for parts unknown, and not till he had run his
race would he stop , or turn to the right or left. But the wolf by this time
was putting up the best job of running he ever did, and William brining up
the race at about 10 feet from the wolf’s hinder appendages, and a little
star board, thus running in a circle of 3 or 4 miles radius, and all the while
insight. Men, women and children were up on the wagons, standing to see
the race. On they went and around they came, now slower and slower,
until he surrendered, amid shouts of victory, on the very spot of ground
started from, and a shot from William’s pistol put an end to his career of
prowling at night and howling to the moon.
We now resumed our march, and at the close of day, pitched .our tents
at the edge of the Trinity timbers, there to rest a few days, after our long
march over the prairies. We were now 3 or 4 miles from the town of
Dallas, on the Three forks of the Trinity.” This was the center of attrac-
tion. It sounded very big in the far off states, and I had it all shaped in my
mind, and expected to see three great rivers coming together from the far
off unknown west and uniting at one point, thus forming a great river, suf-
ficient for steamboats all seasons of the year. There I expected to find a
town all laid out and in order, with its stores, its shops and dwelling hous-
es, with all the surroundings of a nice country town. This was a nice pic-
ture, but it was one of my air castles that was destined to fall to the
ground. Behold my disappointment when the day after our halt, I in the
company with 3 other boys, started out on foot to see the city and the
great river. With light hearts we bounded away and soon reached the place
we had heard of so often. Yes, the place, but the town, where was it? Two
small log cabins, just as nature had formed them, the walls, just high
enough for door heads, the covering was clap boards, held on with weigh
poles, chimneys made of sticks and mud, and old mother earth served as
floors, a shelter made on four stakes for a blacksmith shop, a garden
fenced with brush, and mortar in which they beat their com into meal, this
was the town of Dallas, all told, and two families of 10 or 12 souls was its
population in 1844. (John Neely Bryan and John Beeman were those two
families, and the first woman to come to Dallas was Miss Martha Gilbert,
according to history written of Dallas County, by W.R Overton.)
After taking in the town, the next thing to see was the river, a few
yards away, and we were on its banks. A deep narrow, crooked and muddy
channel, was all we could see of the far famed Trinity River, so my imagi-
nary town and river had banished. We made haste to return to camp that
we might relate our discovery. (Will continue this next week)
THOUGHT FOR THIS WEEK:
When you put your hand in God’s hand you will never walk alone.
Our Helper in Prayer
In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness, we do not know
what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with
groans that words cannot express. And he who searches our hearts knows
the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accor-
dance with God’s will. And we know that in all things God works for the
good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His pur-
pose. Romans 8:26-28.
Have you ever been in such turmoil or pain that you dropped to your
knees but couldn’t form the words to pray? Perhaps you were too hurt To
speak, or you were so perplexed by the situation that you were unsure
what kind of relief to request. All you knew to do was groan, “OH, Lord
Help!”
God understands that times of turbulence and confusion assail us. His
Holy Spirit-who guides us in our prayer life-intercedes for us in those cir-
cumstances. The distress we experience might be physical or emotional,
