First Baptist Church, DeKalb has started a new missions program called Caring for Cubs.
This local mission provides a change of clothes to the school nurse at DeKalb Elementary for students so students spend a minimum amount of time out of class and parents miss a minimum amount of work.
Sizes needed for this ministry are 4T -12, boys and girls.
All items must be new, with tags attached or in sealed original packaging. Items include underwear, tights, jogging pants, t-shirts and sweatshirts. Items that stretch can accommodate a range of sizes and can be found on clearance tables.
Donation boxes will be in the church office or if you want to donate money, just write Caring for Cubs in the designated area. Community members and businesses are encouraged to give generously and support our local students.

Job-Applications.com today announced winners of the company’s national Working Parent Scholarship, which recognizes the efforts of students across the country who balance the difficult tasks of parenthood, working, and excelling in school.  A Texarkana, Texas, mom was one of this year’s winners.

Job-Applications.com awarded $1,000 Working Parent Scholarships to: Sandy Chappell, 34, of Chandler, Arizona; Amanda Condon, 29, of Texarkana, Texas; and Desiree Moreno, 19, of Ingleside, Illinois.

Condon, 29, is a junior ­attending Arkansas Tech University in Russellville, Arkansas. She is seeking a Bachelor of Science degree in emergency management administration. Condon has three children, spanning the ages from 4 to 12.

There is a long list of things that might come along in a person’s life to change their direction. I dare say, few have ever altered the course of their life because a barrel horse came up with a limp.
Yet, that is exactly what happened to DeKalb High School graduate Deanna Harrison.

The dyed in the wool country gal stays busy with acupressure and Meridian therapy, and uses a technique known as The Balancing Method, and it was in 2005 when a limping barrel horse started her down the road of Chinese medicine. I started studying Chinese Medicine in 2005 when I a barrel horse that was limping.  They told me at Texas A&M that there was nothing they could do for him so I came home searching for some way to help him feel better.  Chinese Medicine did help me manage his pain, and I retired him last year at the age of 23, he was still running!   I have studied Traditional Chinese Medicine ever since.  It is ongoing education.
