I'm not from Hale Center, but I love it here and am amazed how the "Hale Centerites" LOVE their (your) hometown!! Terry and I are trying to keep everyone in touch via the Hale Center Insider and we love that it's so immediate. We are utilizing technology and going with the ever-changing times.
So many have moved away from where they were raised (much like yourself... and me) and the hometown newspaper is unfortunately not what it used to be. It's not just here..it's Dallas, Los Angeles, New York, etc. where the newspapers are having to change their "normal" way of getting the news out. All over the nation people are getting their news on the Internet or TV because it is NOW...not a week from now or even tomorrow. So large and small newspapers are changing and putting their news on the Internet. We don't want them (the written newspapers) to "go away" because they are so much a part of especially a small town. They depend so much on advertising dollars and subscriptions, so if you subscribe, please keep doing so.
Some charge also for your news on the Internet,...but the Hale Center Insider is FREE. And...we can provide as many pics as we want, long or short stories, and any breaking news, we can have online within minutes!! Like yesterday when the fire broke out northwest of town, we can post things quickly.
We need and want YOUR input too. Any history or old pics of HC that you may have and want to post in the Hale Center Insider, you can email it (or them) to us at literockonline@hotmail.com.
We also want to feature YOU as the LiteRock Star of the Day. We can use your FB or Twitter Pic and if you'll send us some info about you to the hotmail email address above, we will have your pic and info on within the next week. You can go to the Hale Center Insider and get an idea of what others are saying (current or past).
Thanks for the prayers for what we're doing . God is truly blessing the many, many hours we put in to make it work...but it's all worth it. So, go to http://www.halecenterinsider.com and take your time reading...and don't forget to listen to our Internet Radio Station 24/7 at http://www.LiteRockonline.com.
Thank you also for your support in spreading the word out about YOUR hometown.
We love y'all

Mother's Day
Mother's Day is a very special day to honor mothers, but for me anymore, it is so different. I lost my Mom to an aortic aneurysm in 2003. It's amazing how much I still miss her (and hearing her sweet voice), especially on special holidays or occasions.
Mother's Day was always a special day to recognize what an awesome Mom she was. Even if the miles were too great to be able to take her to lunch, I would send flowers, or a special gift, and always a phone call.
She loved each of us kids unconditionally, like Christ loves us. Mama Fudge was an awesome Godly woman, and always going about trying to help others. She dedicated her whole life and existence to caring for my mentally handicapped sister. Mom always said it was such an honor and privilege that God chose HER to care for Susie. My sister is such a kind and loving person and I know it comes from being cared for by our Mom.
I will take flowers out to her grave Sunday, but I know she's in Heaven with the Father still interceding for me and so many others. I still feel her presence and love that she instilled in me all my life, and I know someday I will see her again.
I am so blessed to have a wonderful Mother-In-Law, Mary Garrison. She shows her love for me and her children (Terry, Susan, Larry and grandchildren) every day. She loves the Lord and is an awesome prayer warrior. I'm thankful to have her in my life!!
If you are fortunate to still have your Mom on this earth, please take the time to honor her this Mother's Day. The Bible says,

I'm very blessed to have 2 children of my own. Bryan who has 2 sons (Evan and Dylan) and April who has 2 sons (Kyle and Tyler). They are kind and caring and love their Mama :0) I am here for them and I know they will always be there for me. They are a gift from God and I love them so much unconditionally!!

Ephesians 6
1-3 Children, do what your parents tell you. This is only right. "Honor your father and mother" is the first commandment that has a promise attached to it, namely, "so you will live well and have a long life." (The Message)
