The Inappropriate Quilters met at Cherry Springs Retreat Center in Texas, where they discussed their journey there, including Leslie's stop at Moda warehouse and Dee's experience with traffic in Waco. They shared stories about their current quilting projects, including Rochelle's pixel quilt of a Nutcracker and Dee's Elizabeth Hartman Show and Tell pattern featuring animals holding miniature quilts. They talked about Rochelle's handmade "Cowgirl Chic" outfit for an upcoming event, complete with needle-felted cats in cowboy hats, red fringe, and rhinestone-decorated boots. A highlight of their retreat was when Deb pranked Rochelle by placing over 200 googly eyes on her belongings, from her earbuds to her sewing supplies, which everyone found hilarious.The quilters enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere at the retreat, noting how everyone worked quietly on their projects for eight hours straight, which they attributed to the lack of noise distractions that typically plague other retreats. They appreciated Sarah Nichols' hospitality at Cherry Springs Retreat, mentioning amenities like instant hot water and comfortable accommodations for up to nine people. Before concluding, Rochelle shared an insightful thought about the "invisible guest phenomenon," reminding everyone that at social gatherings, most people are too concerned with their own appearance and behavior to judge others, which can be freeing when attending holiday parties. BIG Texas THANK YOU to Sarah and the local quilters who came to meet Leslie and Rochelle during their stay. What a great treat!

Efforts at downtown and riverfront renewal met with mixed success, reflecting broader struggles to redefine the community's identity and economic base.

This week, our Groups Minister Josh Duinker continued our Desert Rose sermon series with a message from Psalm 25. Through this passage, we're reminded that loneliness is real, but Jesus has the final word. Even in the desert places, God calls us to depend on Him, to wait on Him, and to trust that He can bring life and light where there once was darkness.

In this message Pastor Les Cody expounds on one of the Ten Commandments, Keep the Sabbath Holy. Pulling from Exodus 16:22 through 30. Pastor Les teaches that you radically love God by keeping the Sabbath Holy! Pastor Les teaches that we as believers need to trust the Lord and understand that he can do more with 6 days than we can do in 7. Ps. Les touches on four points that war against Sabbath Rest. Teaching that resting in the Lord provides true peace and rest and that all other types of rest do not provide the level of rest that the Lord can provide. Teaching that the Sabbath is about trusting the Lord. And when you trust the Lord he proves faithful. Ps. Les provides 3 practical pieces of advice to prepare for the Sabbath. Teaching that freedom is found in the Sabbath Rest. When you reject the Sabbath, you reject God.  In this message, Pastor Les Cody delivers a powerful teaching on one of the Ten Commandments: “Keep the Sabbath Holy.” Drawing from Exodus 16:22–30, Pastor Les reveals that keeping the Sabbath is not a religious duty but a radical expression of love for God. He challenges believers to trust that the Lord can accomplish more in six days than we ever could in seven. Pastor Les identifies four key challenges that war against true Sabbath rest. He reminds us that genuine rest is found only in the Lord. All other forms of rest, cannot compare to the deep spiritual renewal that comes from trusting in Him. The Sabbath, Pastor Les teaches, is fundamentally about trusting the Lord's provision and faithfulness. When we set aside time to rest in Him, we declare our dependence on His strength rather than our own. And as we do, He proves Himself faithful again and again. To help believers embrace this rhythm of grace, Pastor Les offers three practical steps to prepare for the Sabbath, intentional ways to structure our time, hearts, and homes to honor the Lord. He concludes with a powerful reminder: true freedom is found in Sabbath rest, for when we reject the Sabbath, we are ultimately rejecting God's design. The vision of Mercy Culture is to take people from corporate encounters with God to daily personal encounters with God.

The basis of the celebrated Paramount Network miniseries starring Michael Shannon and Taylor Kitsch -- Waco is the critically-acclaimed, first person account of the siege by Branch Davidian survivor, David Thibodeau.Twenty-five years ago, the FBI staged a deadly raid on the Branch Davidian compound in Waco. Texas. David Thibodeau survived to tell the story. When he first met the man who called himself David Koresh, David Thibodeau was a drummer in a local a rock band. Though he had never been religious in the slightest, Thibodeau gradually became a follower and moved to the Branch Davidian compound in Waco. He remained there until April 19, 1993, when the compound was stormed and burned to the ground after a 51-day standoff with government authorities.In this compelling account -- now with an updated epilogue that revisits remaining survivors--Thibodeau explores why so many people came to believe that Koresh was divinely inspired. We meet the men, women, and children of Mt. Carmel. We get inside the day-to-day life of the community. We also understand Thibodeau's brutally honest assessment of the United States government's actions. The result is a memoir that reads like a thriller, with each page taking us closer to the eventual inferno.https://amzn.to/42UuycPBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

6. The 9/11 Failure and the Cold War Mindset Liza Mundy Book: The Sisterhood: The Secret History of Women at the CIA Leading up to 9/11, the women of Alec Station had been repeatedly warning that al-Qaeda had the capability to attack the United States. On 9/11, the CIA learned of the attacks via CNN, confirming the women's "sick inevitability." While CIA Director George Tenet evacuated the headquarters due to the threat of a plane attack, the Counterterrorism Center staff remained at their posts, working 24/7 to prevent a second wave. The women faced a reckoning afterward, being blamed for failing to connect the dots, despite previous internal struggles to get their analysis published. Adding to the difficulty, the incoming Bush administration, composed largely of "Cold Warriors," struggled to recognize a stateless terror organization as a legitimate, existential threat, focusing instead on traditional state adversaries with armies and capitals. Furthermore, historical failures like the Waco incident made the Clinton administration hesitant to approve operations against bin Laden due to fears of collateral damage.
