Don't forget to vote today!  And when you vote, please consider voting Sharon Meyer for County Clerk!  The financial systems and financial procedures of Gasconade County are a complete mess!  The County Clerk is the "Chief Financial Officer" of the county.  Incumbent County Clerk has plenty of time to bring our financial systems into the 20th century.  For whatever reason(s), she has failed to do so.  It's time for a change!

Ernest Dale Tubb (February 9, 1914 – September 6, 1984), nicknamed the Texas Troubadour, was an American singer and songwriter and one of the pioneers of country music. His biggest career hit song, "Walking the Floor Over You" (1941), marked the rise of the honky tonk style of music. In 1948, he was the first singer to record a hit version of "Blue Christmas", a song more commonly associated with Elvis Presley and his mid-1950s version. Another well-known Tubb hit was "Waltz Across Texas" (1965), which became one of his most requested songs and is often used in dance halls throughout Texas during waltz lessons. In the early 1960s, he recorded duets with up-and-coming Loretta Lynn, including their hit "Sweet Thang". Tubb is a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame.

This song goes out to Dick Schaefer, Jack Grant, Bill Johnson, Ron Steele and Brian Duschell and all the old regulars at 'The Happy Hollow' beer joint in Oriole, MO.  Here is Ernest Tubb, the 'Texas Troubadour', singing "Waltz Across Texas" .....

Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. – Colossians 3:12-13

Paul’s admonition to the Colossian believers is a call back to the gospel. One of the true tests of a believer is how they respond when faced with the pain of offense. If our identity is in the love that the Father showers upon us, then we are able to reflect the nature of the Holy Spirit to others. This is not a display of our benevolence, but an exercise in our personal awareness of our daily need for Jesus. To hold grudges against each other shows that we have forgotten our own need for mercy.
