With summer closing and fall fast approaching the K if C’s from Slaton, Texas made our special BBQ to share with our tireless workers in the staff of local hospitals in Lubbock, Texas (Covenant & Covenant Childrens).
Just as veterans of service for our country have a difficult time describing what is deep in the hearts, our K of C’s have this difficult task of preparing the special meal in tribute of those who are trained to save lives. Words are not enough to show our appreciation so we dare to boldly step forward to provide a gift from deep inside our hearts. For a true message from the K C’s all you have to do is look deep in their eyes — even in these pictures — and one can see that yes in our Hearts are God’s GRACE.
By DAWNS EARLY LIGHT the fire was started at our special BBQ pit in Slaton next to DIVISION street starting with a prayer we hope and then enjoying the day just as our forefathers have done here at Slaton for over a 100 years. Division street – why is it so named Division? We have the best answer. On the days of equinox (Equal day and night) in the fall (September 22) and in the spring (March 22) the Sun rises on East Division Street – EXACTLY – and the Sun sets on FM 41 West of Slaton. Only on the Equinox days. So it stands to reason that the special street in Slaton is named DIVISION because it is the dividing line of Spring/Summer, Summer/Fall. See the SUNRISE/SUNSET pictures below taken 9-21-2020. The BBQ crew is happy because the heat of summer is past and we are privileged to help those who save lives.
SUNRISE – a little after – because of the smoke haze so the sun was close to center of division.
Close to SUNSET on 9-21-2020 taken at the corner of DIVISION/20th Street. For only one day before EQUINOX I say the street is correctly named.
Some of the hospital staff are preparing to sample this special meal. My guess is only one is ready to eat.
Once again — one is prepared to taste this special treat.
