Classmate of deceased 3rd grader: 'I will miss him for a million years'

Classmate of deceased 3rd grader: 'I will miss him for a million years'

From Tyler ISD:

One by one Andy Woods Elementary School third grade students scooped up handfuls of mulch and sprinkled it around a new tree they planted by their playground. Next to the tree is a bench with a plaque that reads “In Memory of Jordan ‘J.S. Smooth’ Samples 2013.”

Doctors gave Jordan Samples eight months to live when he was diagnosed with brain cancer in November 2011. Jordan’s mom, Jacqueline Samples, says from that day on he lived by the acronym F.R.O.G., which stands for Fully Rely on God.

“Jordan had the courage of a lion, and that courage came from God. There is no other explanation,” Mrs. Samples said. “He encouraged me even when I thought there was no way I could keep going. There he was, this little boy, struggling. But really he was not struggling; he even went back to school when he could have given up. He encouraged and inspired not just me, but the kids, the teachers, and everyone else who came in contact with him.”

Local Christian rock band's new release in top 100 on iTunes

From Key Marketing Group:

This week, independent record label Tate Music Group is excited to announce the official release of The Avid Light’s self-titled album, “The Avid Light”.

Produced by Tate Music Group, the album offers 7 tracks and is readily available for purchase nationwide at the iTunes Store, Amazon.com, or directly from TateMusicGroup.com.

Tyler-based group The Avid Light was formed in 2010 by Chase Castleberry and Tanner Terhune. The duo used to play only in their local church and they hoped to reach out to a larger audience which prompted them to make their own music group. A year later, the band was completed when Colton Baum and Justin Frazier joined the group. Together, they hope to inspire others to pursue their own dreams and believe that nothing is impossible with God on your side.

Farmers in the Lone Star State are doing more than helping to feed and clothe the world. They’re also helping agricultural production in other states. Did you know the nation’s largest onion plant supplier is located in Carrizo Springs, Texas? 

Meet Bruce “Onion Man” Frasier, president of Dixondale Farms.

Dixondale Farms ships millions of onion plants across the nation each year to be planted in states with shorter growing seasons. This year, Dixondale Farms is celebrating a milestone–100 years in business–and millions of plants sold to garden centers, farms and home gardeners across the United States.

In this Meet a Farmer segment, Bruce explains why onion plants helped his family’s business to grow.
