Brother Viv John shared these words of encouragement from 1 Corinthians 15 during a visit to Lake Worth, pointing out seven things about the Lord Jesus.

Send us a textIn the summer of 1969, strange things started happening on Lake Worth, outside of Forth Worth, Texas. There were whispers of an odd creature- described as part man, part fish, and part goat- being spotted in a local nature preserve. What started out as an outlandish rumor became front-page news on July 10, 1969, when the creature jumped on the hood of a car and disappeared into the forest, but not before leaving an 18 inch scratch down the side of the vehicle. When 6 visibly shaken locals showed up at the sheriff's office to report the incident, law enforcement had no choice but to investigate these strange goings on. Soon, seemingly the entire town was taking to the forest, armed with whatever weaponry they could find to hunt down the Lake Worth Monster. But would they catch him?

The Boaters' Rights Advocacy Coalition is a group of dedicated boaters associations representing more than 20,000 members committed to advocating for the rights of all active cruisers and boaters. Our mission is to ensure safe, equitable, and sustainable access to our public waterways. Here's how you can help protect anchoring on Florida's waterways:Contribute to our Advocacy Fund. This fund helps pay our lobbyist in Florida. Without professional representation, we don't have a seat a the table. Contact the members of Florida's Senate Fiscal Policy Committee:We are concerned that Senate Bill 594 will be added to the agenda for the Senate Fiscal Policy Committee the week of 4/14/2025. SB 594 could ban anchoring within 2,500 feet of Florida's Seaports and is purported to be a security measure, but there is no evidence of a security threat needing mitigation. Please email or call the Senators on the committee (see below) as soon as possible and share why you oppose the bill. Below some specific points regarding this bill for your use when calling or emailing. Please choose a few and tailor them to make your own.State Parks near several ports -- including the Ports of Everglades, Panama City, Fernandina, Fort Pierce, Pensacola, Key West, Tampa -- where anchoring is currently enjoyed are within the potential no-anchoring zones created by this bill.Common recreational anchoring areas are negatively affected in this bill. Fernandina, Port Canaveral, Ft Pierce, Lake Worth, Miami and Key West will lose much or all of their anchoring area.The setback is excessive, and is not supported by historical events or the water depths which are 10ft or less in some of the areas the bill would make off limits, making the ideal areas for us to anchor but not useable by cargo or cruise shipsPort security concerns are not highlighted in publicly available minutes from meetings of the Ports Council, Port of Palm Beach, and Port of Miami.Generally, federal law controls the regulation of navigation, seaport security and other aspects of admiralty law in and upon the navigable waters of the United States. The U.S. Supreme Court has consistently determined that federal supremacy principles mandate that federal law preempts state and local government efforts to impose conditions on port entry that federal laws already cover. Federal law allows a state to regulate its ports and waterways, as long as the regulation is based on the peculiarities of local waters that call for special precautionary measures. We believe these waters do not call for special precautionary measures, and the state of Florida lacks jurisdiction in this matter. There is substantial case law that supports this assertion.The US Coast Guard (USCG) is the lead federal agency for maritime security and the primary enforcer of security zones around seaport facilities and vessels not the Florida Wildlife and Conservation Commission. The USCG issues security zone orders, conducts patrols and inspections, coordinates with other agencies and stakeholders, and responds to incidents and emergencies within security zones.General Guidelines on Contacting Legislators:Email or phone are the best ways to reach a legislator. Letters are second best, but in our electronic world today everyone uses computers.Timing is very important. Don't delay your email until after the bill has been passed. HB 481 will be heard in committee onWednesday aftermoon.Be polite and professional. Profanity will not help no matter how frustrated you may be.Address the email/letter as ‘Dear Senator xxx' and ‘Dear Representative xxx'.Limit your message to 200 words or so. Long emails don't get the point across. Three paragraphs are a reasonable limit for emails and letters.If not a Florida resident, identify yourself as cruiser/tourist from ________ state. Emails from citizens of other states are also effective because a large segment of Florida's economy is based on tourism.Form letters are routinely ignored except they are simply tallied up. They represent the viewpoint of one individual, no matter how many times they are transmitted. Please take the time to put the “talking points” we've provided into your own words.Work very hard to avoid misspellings, grammatical errors and skipped words in your document. These are easy to spot, and may cause the reader to misunderstand what you are saying or skip reading your email entirely.Here are the committee members to contact:Last NameFirst NameCapitol PhoneEmail AddressGrutersJoe(850) 487-5022gruters.joe.web@flsenate.govOsgoodRosalind(850) 487-5032osgood.rosalind.web@flsenate.govArringtonKristen(850) 487-5025arrington.kristen.web@flsenate.govAvilaBryan(850) 487-5039Avila.Bryan.web@flsenate.govBernardMack(850) 487-5024bernard.mack.web@flsenate.govBoydJim(850) 487-5020boyd.jim.web@flsenate.govBradleyJennifer(850) 487-5006bradley.jennifer.web@flsenate.govBurtonColleen(850) 487-5012Burton.Colleen.web@flsenate.govCalatayudAlexis(850) 487-5038Calatayud.Alexis.web@flsenate.govDavisTracie(850) 487-5005Davis.Tracie.web@flsenate.govGaetzDon(850) 487-5001gaetz.don.web@flsenate.govIngogliaBlaise(850) 487-5011ingoglia.blaise.web@flsenate.govJonesShevrin ''Shev''(850) 487-5034jones.shevrin.web@flsenate.govLeekTom(850) 487-5007leek.tom.web@flsenate.govPassidomoKathleen(850) 487-5028passidomo.kathleen.web@flsenate.govRodriguezAna Maria(850) 487-5040rodriguez.anamaria.web@flsenate.govSimonCorey(850) 487-5003simon.corey.web@flsenate.govTruenowKeith(850) 487-5013truenow.keith.web@flsenate.govYarboroughClay(850) 487-5004Yarborough.Clay.web@flsenate.gov

Send us a textThe summer of 1986 in Lake Worth, Texas should have been like any other – locals cooling off at the lake, hanging out at what they called "the beach," enjoying cold beers in the hot Texas sun. Instead, it became the setting for a murder that would remain unsolved for over two decades.Lloyd Tobin was the kind of person everyone wanted in their corner – a 30-year-old bouncer described by friends and family as loyal, friendly, and protective. As a father, brother, and son, he worked hard at the local bar and was known for making people feel safe. In a cruel twist of fate, it was this protective instinct that would ultimately cost him his life on that fateful day in 1986.While hanging out at Lake Worth's makeshift beach area, Lloyd noticed a suspicious man approaching young people. Being the protector he naturally was, Lloyd confronted the stranger, telling him to leave the kids alone. What happened next would shock the community – the man returned with a shotgun and fired a single shot at Lloyd before fleeing through the brush in a bright orange hatchback. Despite witnesses hearing the shot and glimpsing the suspect, the case eventually went cold, leaving Lloyd's desperate family to conduct their own investigation as official leads dried up.The breakthrough came from the most unexpected source in 2009 – a letter sent to the Fort Worth Cold Case Unit from prison inmate Billy Wallace, who was already serving life for other violent crimes. In a surprising twist, Wallace confessed not only to Lloyd's murder but to multiple other unsolved crimes throughout the region. His detailed account of confronting Lloyd at the lake, returning with a shotgun when told to leave, and fleeing in the orange car that witnesses had described decades earlier finally brought closure to a case that might otherwise never have been solved.This episode reminds us of the random nature of violence, the dedication of cold case detectives, and the lingering question: how many killers take their secrets to the grave? Magic Mind

During a visit to Lake Worth, Brother Howard Gordan from Jamaica shared this encouraging word on what it means for us to “see Jesus” in the context of our worship.

HOUR ONE: “Jerry Meets A Sasquatch” *** Greer Island, a small patch of land close to where the West Fork of the Trinity River flows into Lake Worth, is heavily shaded by tall oaks, cedar elms and cottonwoods. One of the quietest spots in Fort Worth, the island is home to egrets and owls, perhaps an alligator or two. And maybe, just maybe, the Lake Worth Monster. (The Lake Worth Monster) *** In 2017, Washington State Senator Karen Keiser was quoted as saying, “The incidents continue, they continue, and we have to consider that there is potential cosmic life over the island… it's a very special place, with a cosmic presence.” What exactly happened on Maurey Island in 1947? (The Maurey Island Incident) *** Whether you're a true believer or one of those skeptics, stories of spirits haunting the living from the confines of a Ouija board can chill you to the bone, and make you think twice before communicating with entities from another dimension. (True And Disturbing Ouija Board Stories)==========HOUR TWO: Did she drown? Did she commit suicide? Despite her death in 1889, we still don't know how Maggie Hourigan died. (The Mystery of Maggie Hourigan) *** In 1958 Gavin Gibbons wrote a children's science-fiction novel By Space Ship to the Moon, which featured a UFO landing on Moel Sych in the Berwyn Mountains of North Wales. Sixteen years later, in a surreal case of life imitating art, those very same mountains would again be the focus for a story involving a downed UFO. But this time, some said, the story was for real.

Send us a textRecorded live at Henry's Majestic, November 7th. Could a deadly mistake lead to an unsolved mystery that plagued a community for over a decade? On Thanksgiving Day 1985, a tragic bombing shattered the hopes of the Blount family, who had recently moved to Lake Worth, Texas. While they anticipated a warm holiday gathering, a mysterious black briefcase turned their lives upside down. Only the mother and son survived the catastrophic explosion, leaving investigators to grapple with questions of intent and identity. Was it a botched attempt on a different target, or did Joe Blount's past hold the key to understanding this senseless act?Join us as we unravel the complex investigation that followed this heartbreaking event. Forensic experts initially considered alternative explanations, from propane accidents to drug-related mishaps, before confirming the briefcase held a deadly bomb. The lack of clear motives and evidence created significant hurdles for investigators, who were faced with a tangled web of possible suspects and theories. We scrutinize the controversial conviction and later exoneration of Michael Toney, whose life was forever changed by a justice system that faltered under the weight of scant and unreliable evidence.Our episode also confronts the unsettling reality that the Blount family might have been innocent bystanders in a criminal plot gone awry. We explore theories involving a local jeweler and meth dealer, whose illicit dealings may have inadvertently drawn danger to an unsuspecting family's doorstep. This haunting case serves as a sobering reminder of life's uncertainties and the unexpected threats that can disrupt ordinary lives. With insights from surviving family members and seasoned investigators, we invite you to ponder the lingering questions that continue to overshadow this chilling unsolved mystery.www.texaswineandtruecrime.com

On the night of July 10, 1969, John Reichart was fishing near Greer Island on the shores of Lake Worth, about ten miles from Fort Worth, Texas, while his wife Linda sat in their car reading a book.  Moments after John finally hooked a large catfish, he heard his wife screaming in terror and turned to see something moving around on top of the car. As he raced to help, this thing was now on the ground and next to the passenger window, appearing to try to get at Linda. John instinctively lunged at this creature, shoving it away from the car while getting a good look at it. He described it as massive and standing on two legs, horns on its head, covered with white hair and what seemed like shiny fish scales; some kind of human-animal hybrid he said was "half man, half goat." The Reicharts weren't the only witnesses to this scary scuffle as two other couples parked nearby also saw the entire horrifying incident. Almost forty people claimed to have seen the same beast the next night, with sightings continuing for months afterward, generating news coverage and a police investigation. Our friend, author, musician, and intrepid cryptid hunter, Lyle Blackburn, once again deftly and comprehensively investigates one of the strangest and most disturbing creature encounters in Texas and U.S. history in his latest book, Lake Worth Monster: The True Story of the Greer Island Goatman. Please join us as we welcome Lyle to discuss the particulars of a brute so bizarre it makes a plain old Bigfoot seem ordinary by comparison.   Visit our website for a lot more information on this episode.

HOUR ONE: Did she drown? Did she commit suicide? Despite her death in 1889, we still don't know how Maggie Hourigan died. (The Mystery of Maggie Hourigan) *** In 1958 Gavin Gibbons wrote a children's science-fiction novel By Space Ship to the Moon, which featured a UFO landing on Moel Sych in the Berwyn Mountains of North Wales. Sixteen years later, in a surreal case of life imitating art, those very same mountains would again be the focus for a story involving a downed UFO. But this time, some said, the story was for real. (The UFO Case That Refuses to Die) *** What if creatures like gnomes and imps aren't just real – but also evil? (Nasty Gnomes, Evil Imps and Terrifying Tommyknockers)==========HOUR TWO: “Jerry Meets A Sasquatch” *** Greer Island, a small patch of land close to where the West Fork of the Trinity River flows into Lake Worth, is heavily shaded by tall oaks, cedar elms and cottonwoods. One of the quietest spots in Fort Worth, the island is home to egrets and owls, perhaps an alligator or two. And maybe, just maybe, the Lake Worth Monster. (The Lake Worth Monster) *** In 2017, Washington State Senator Karen Keiser was quoted as saying, “The incidents continue, they continue, and we have to consider that there is potential cosmic life over the island… it's a very special place, with a cosmic presence.” What exactly happened on Maurey Island in 1947? (The Maurey Island Incident) *** Whether you're a true believer or one of those skeptics, stories of spirits haunting the living from the confines of a Ouija board can chill you to the bone, and make you think twice before communicating with entities from another dimension.
