❤️🌿 This YouTube clip was sent to me, and it made me pause for a moment and appreciate the beauty we have right here at home. ❤️🌿

I don’t just see a park when I drive through Midway, I see memories.

I see little kids catching their first fish, 1st dates, families gathering, father son moments or people just finding a quiet place to sit and think, and sunsets that somehow make everything feel a little lighter. It’s one of those places where life quietly happens. Years from now, people may not remember every detail of the day, but they’ll remember how they felt there.

That’s why places like this matter to me. They aren’t just pieces of land; they’re shared spaces where our community’s stories are written. Every family that visits leaves with memories that are uniquely their own.

There’s still a handful of projects I’d love to see completed at Midway Park, but even now, I’m constantly reminded of how beautiful it is when we simply take care of what God has blessed us with. Being entrusted with helping preserve a place like this is one of the most rewarding parts of what I get to do.

A heartfelt thank you to our Road & Bridge Pct 3 and Parks crew. The work they do every day may not always make headlines, but it absolutely makes a difference. Their pride and dedication show in every mowed trail, every cleaned-up area, and every effort to keep Midway beautiful for the next family making memories there.

I hope you’ll take a minute to watch the video and see this little piece of Dimmit County through the same lens. Sometimes we’re so busy living here that we forget just how blessed we are. ❤️

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

🦒🚧 Gracie the Giraffe just had to stop by and see what all the excitement was about!

After a long wait, our Road & Bridge crew has FINALLY made their way back to Midway Road and is hard at work. Gracie wanted to personally inspect the progress, and so far, she gives it two hooves up. 👷‍♂️🛣️

Thank you to our crew for their continued hard work and to our residents for their patience as we continue making improvements throughout Precincts 3 & 6.

🌿🦌 Youth Hunt Contest 🦌🌿

One thing I love about our community is when people take the time to invest in our youth, and this is such a great opportunity for our local high school students. This is such a wonderful opportunity for who enjoys or wants to explore hunting & wildlife, I’m sure expert knowledge and great conservation along with out beautiful south texas outdoors views. The Texas Youth Hunt Contest is a chance to learn, grow, and and make some unforgettable memories.

A big thank you to Warden Krpec for hitting the ground running and bringing opportunities like this to our area. We’re happy to have you here and look forward to working together to get our kids involved in the outdoors. 🌵🤠

After a week filled with sadness, I found myself stopping to reflect on words my mother used to tell us growing

“Everything in this world will come to an end, but Gods word is forever.”

Earlier this week, many of us found ourselves asking the hard questions —Why do bad things happen?Why does God allow heartache or tragedy?

Sometimes we forget the bigger picture. The ultimate goal is to save as many souls as we can and lead one another toward heaven. Life has a way of reminding us what really matters faith, family, and love for one another.

If we can trust God to fill our cups on our darkest days, imagine what He can do when our cups are only halfway empty.

This week, I attended two church services, and both churches were filled beyond capacity — seats were scarce. It reminded me of the beauty of what church should look like every Sunday: people coming together in faith, in prayer, and in support of one another.

And in a way, the people we lost completed their mission here on earth, because through their lives and their passing, they led many hearts back into church this past week. That is the beauty I am choosing to take away from such a tragic and heartbreaking time.

The beauty of honoring, celebrating, and mourning together as one community. 💙

So today, I simply want to encourage you:
Go to church.

Because life is short, and every day is a gift.

Stay strong, stay faithful, and take care of each other. 🤍
