In Mark 8:11-13 we find these words - “The Pharisees came and began to question Jesus. To test Him, they asked for a sign from heaven. Jesus sighed deeply and said, ‘Why does this generation ask for a miraculous sign? I tell you the truth, no sign will be given to it’. Then He left them, got back into the boat and crossed to the other side.

November 5, 2024 - It was an ordinary school day in 1948.  My classmates and I were in our second grade class room at Hemphill Elementary School in Hemphill, Texas. Since I was in the second grade, I probably had on a dress that was made from chicken feed bags sewed together by my maternal grandmother, Mam Howell.  Had I a clue that this would be a special event day, I probably would have worn a “church” dress. Our teacher was Verna Thedford on this particular day.
