Wildcats' three football games to look out for

Body
For the second edition of the top three football games of the 25-26 season, the Archer City Wildcats come into the spotlight. Last season, the Wildcats’ dangerous run-game clawed through defenders with relative ease, but with the quarterback (Landon Smith), and a pair of explosive running backs (Isaac Dieguez and Noah Cornell), as well as those same athletes and several others on the defensive side all graduating, how will this refurbished backfield matchup against this year’s opponents? Week 6, Oct.

Are you looking for a Church home?

Body
Do you have a church home? If so, great! Keep going to your church. Keep living the best life you can and making a better relationship with Jesus. If not, find a place. I’m personally a little partial to The First United Methodist Church of Archer City. The only First United Methodist Church in Archer County, home of history and believers in Grace.

Abandoned by God

Body
When it was noon, darkness came over the whole land until three o’clock in the afternoon when Jesus said, “ Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which means, ” My God, my God, why have you forsaken me” (Mark 15:3334)? Jesus felt alone and abandoned by his father, and his human nature was crying out. People can sometimes feel forsaken, too. All of us have experienced feelings as though God abandons us at some point in our lives.
