As families are creating new routines and learning how to educate students from home, the Texas Historical Commission (THC) is providing free instructive resources and online education about Texas history, preservation, and heritage tourism as an alternative to visiting a historic site or museum.

“Short Call – Snippets from the Smallest Places in Texas, 1835 – 2000” is the most delightful book I have read in a very long time. It was funny, interesting, truthful, and even, refreshing. Written by Joyce Gibson Roach, an award-winning author and published by the University of North Texas. The snippets are only each a few pages long and all occur in Turtle, Texas. A town developed for these stories. I thought, perhaps, the best way to show the stories was to copy one of shortest snippets as a review. I chose the snippet called “Cleanliness is Next to …. Outhouses.”

GALATIANS 4:6 – Because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father.”
