Deuteronomy 1:29-31 “Do notbe terrified; do not be afraid ofthem. The LORD your God, whois going before you, will fight foryou, as he did for you in Egypt, -- - you saw how the LORD yourGod carried you, as a fathercarries his son, all the way youwent until you reached thisplace.” New International Version

It seems that life constantly gives us reason tobe terrified. When we feel that we have masteredone season of life, the season changes! Yet whenwe realize that it is God who carries us we cango past the fear into faith. God is a faithful fatherwho carries us all the way. Take courage andface your internal and external adversaries withGod, and go forward.Life Application Bible Notes

The size and appearance of these toothy speciescan be frightening to many; however most gars aregentle giants. The only true harm gars pose to peopleoccurs when trying to handle the toothy and scalyfi�sh. These fi�sh play a large role in keeping the Texasaquatic ecosystems healthy. Gars are responsible formaintaining healthy numbers of many other speciesof fi�sh. The popularity of this species is growing. In2009, Animal Planet released the documentary fi�sh-ing series “River Monsters” with Jeremy Wade. In Epi-sode 3, Jeremy travels to the Trinity River and catchesa very large alligator gar and quickly discovers thatdespite its large and scary appearance, the gar is do-cile in nature.

In my experience, landing gar isn’t easy. It would be15 years before I saw this prehistoric-looking fi�shagain. My son’s very fi�rst fi�shing trip on Brady Laketurned up a longnose gar caught off� a trotline. It wasthen that I was able to pass on the story of my fi�rst garencounter and all the information I knew about Tex-as’s largest and most misunderstood freshwater fi�sh.

bars and dialed back restaurant occupancy limitsamid concerns that the virus was spreading rapidlythrough the state.

Abbott’s news conference also comes days afterthe Texas Department of State Health Services an-nounced that it has refi�ned how the agency calculatesthe percentage of positive tests, or positivity rate, afi�gure the governor has used as a key metric in deter-mining which types of businesses can reopen andwhen.

Now, the state is calculating the positivity ratebased on the day the test is given, which state health

offi�cials say provides a more accurate fi�gure but canlag a few weeks behind.

The updated methodology reveals that the state’spositivity rate was 7% through much of May as Texasbegan to reopen, higher than the rate of 4% to 6% thathealth offi�cials reported at the time.

And as the state in June moved into its third phaseof reopenings, which allowed bars and restaurants tooperate at greater capacities, the number surged.

New data reveal that the positivity rate skyrocket-ed through June to a peak of nearly 21% on July 7, in-stead of around 14% in early July as previously report-ed. The updated method shows a positivity rate ofnearly 7% Tuesday, the latest data available. Howev-er, that number is expected to change in the comingdays as more test results are received for the sevendays included in that date’s calculation.

COLEMAN – An international fugitive took his ownlife Wednesday morning after deputies confrontedhim outside a house.

Reached by phone, Coleman County Sheriff� LesCogdill said his offi�ce Friday had received a warrantfrom the state of Coahuila, Mexico, for a male suspectwanted there in connection with the shooting deathof his wife there. “I made contact with the TexasRangers and the U.S. Marshal Service, (who) startedworking on it all weekend,” Cogdill said. On Tuesday,Cogdill surveilled a residence in the 700 block of Rip-ley Street to see if he could identify the fugitive. Oncehe did, a task force from Del Rio was sent to attemptan arrest. Marshals, deputies, members of the Cole-man Police Department and local DPS troopers were

on the scene when they saw the suspect go outside ofthe house around 8 a.m. Wednesday.

“We went to make contact with him, the suspectran into the house and we started giving commandsfrom him to come outside,” Cogdill said. The manbriefl�y stepped out of the doorway, then went back in-side. Two other people stepped outside and were giv-en commands to exit and did so.

About 8:13 a.m., the fugitive came back outside.“When he came back out, he came out with a pistol

to his head,” Cogdill said. “Offi�cers started giving com-mands for him to drop the weapon. It looked like hewas saying a prayer because he made the (sign of the)cross across his chest and pulled the trigger.”

Cogdill said the house is by itself on the street, soevacuation of neighboring homes was not required.Two more people were found in the fugitive’s house,unharmed.
