Glorify God this Thanksgiving

Glorify God this Thanksgiving

We are all guilty of this. It’s Thanksgiving Day, your house is packed, and you’re rushing to get the turkey out. At no point have you stopped to just appreciate the holiday, God, and everything He has done for you to make this special occasion happen. Thanksgiving turns into day of gluttony and the day loses its reverence and power.

‘New’ items at depot museum

The Rockdale International & Great Northern Railroad Depot & Museum is open again after being closed since the first of the year and it had added some items to its collection. One of the added items is this ticket cabinet filled with things it would have had in it years ago when train stations were bustling places. The cabinet is from the collection of the late Bert Dockall, who was a charter member of the Rockdale Historical Society. The museum is currently open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays and 1 to 4 p.m. Sundays. For information or to join the historical society call 512-446-2956. Reporter/David Money
