Many parts of Texas have been parched with drought for the last few years. Here in East Texas, we’ve been spared the worst of it, although the channel running up into our yard on Lake Tyler was completely dried up two summers ago – that’s 9 feet of water gone! Today, as we listened to the flash flood warnings issued throughout our area and looked upon a full Lake Tyler, we gave thanks for the rain. We pray that our fellow Texans in points west receive the same relief we’ve enjoyed.

We welcome the rain here at Lake Tyler 3.9.2015
