GARDENER’S MAILBAG Dear Neil, this little weed is taking over my Asian jasmine. It now covers a section that’s 12 ft.

HEAD OVER MEALS Living in southwest Texas, hot sauce or salsa is a staple in most households—at least it is in mine. If I do not have at least a couple of diverse types of salsas and/or hot sauce in my refrigerator, my food feels almost naked.

Recently my wife and I watched some of the 2024 Paris Olympics. We really enjoyed the Field and Track. Maybe because our children were in sports, and we spent time with them. Over 10,000 Athletes from 200 countries competed at Paris and 25 world records were broken. One young woman, Sydney Mclaughlin-Levrone is breaking one world record after another in the 400-meter hurdles and after she ran, they put a gold crown on her head. The sports commentators say she has two special coaches that have helped her very much. One said, “she will probably give or put that gold medal in her coach’s hands” Gold crowns remind me of something in the Bible. It talks a lot about rewards and crowns. In ancient Greece crowns were awarded during the Greek games by the rulers for symbols of honor. They were usually woven wreaths of leaves. That term was used figuratively in the New Testament of the rewards of heaven God promises to those who are faithful, (1 Corinthians 9:24&25). The Imperishable crown, (1 Peter 1:4), The crown of Rejoicing, (1 Thessalonians 2:19, Philippians 4:4, Luke 15:7), The crown of Righteousness, (2 Timothy 4:8), The crown of Glory, (1 Peter 5:4, Romans 8:18), the crown of Life, (Revelation 2:10, John 10:10). We seek to serve out of love not for Salvation but just for the love of Christ, (Hebrews 10:24&25). Only Christians qualify.

Despite the recognition of an existential threat to the state’s water supply, attendees expressed doubt about the Texas Legislature’s ability to allocate adequate resources or make necessary policy changes in the upcoming legislative session.
