Our Recommendations
While out to Sunday brunch with friends, they thanked me for recommending Quik Trip as their Bank of Texas ATM location. They didn’t know about the ATM though she is a Bank of Texas Private Wealth Advisor here in Austin. They were thankful because there are no Bank of Texas banks here. But now they…
And Many More…
Are you one of those who must have the last word? If so, then at the conclusion of singing “Happy Birthday” to someone, you probably added the big finish…. “And many more!!” I’ve come to find those words reassuring, so I always sing “and many more” under my breath in hopes that my quiet wish…
Have You Had a “There was Jesus” Moment?

Improve Your “Serve”
It’s Holy Thursday – and we recount the Last Supper when Jesus, the greatest of ALL, was servant of ALL, as He washed His disciples’ feet. He, with the towel and basin, is the KING of the universe. The same hands that shaped the earth, the stars and the moon, washed away grime and filth.…
