Jerry @ The Lake #001 Brazos River
by Jerry Kitten www.JerryAtTheLake.com
The Caddoan Indians
The Brazos River is the longest river in Texas which is 840 miles and the one with the greatest discharge. The Brazos is probably the river that the Caddoan linguistic group called TOKONOHONO ! This name is preserved in the narratives of the expedition led by Rene Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle, and the Brazos is widely identified as the river that La Salle named the Maligne. The name Brazos was probably first applied to the Colorado River, and there is considerable evidence that several early explorers (Austin) confused the names for their benefit ! In 1716 Isidro Felix de Espinosa and Domingo Ramon pro
bably called the Brazos “la Trinidad”, but the present names were established well before the end of the Spanish period.

An Introduction to Romans
By: Curtis Baker
As we begin a new year together here in Slaton, I would like to take up a new course of study with you. When I first began writing this article, nearly five years ago now, my intention was to use the article to study through Biblical texts with you. We started with a series on the Gospel of John, and since then we have gone on to do a number of other things, including both topical studies, as well as historical studies–like our series on how the King James Bible was made. But as we begin a new year here in 2014, I would like to go back to my original intention with this article. I would like to study through a Biblical text once again, and I have decided that Paul’s letter to the Romans might be one of the best places where we could do such a study.
