The city currently is winding up
a $1 million program of installing
larger water mains in several
sectors of the city and increasing
the capacity of the water plant near
the Boerne City Lake.
There is a book entitled, “you
Can’t Go Home Again,” but folks
either didn’t read it or didn’t believe
it, as hundreds of people came home
to Comfort for the Fourth of July
celebration. Old friends met on the
street before the parade, and later
in the park at the barbecue lunch.
Young people compared children,
older ones compared memories. The
fireworks display at the Marshall
Steves family river house was
enjoyed by all the town. This is a
family tradition and only once,
according to Mr. Steves, has it been
rained out for as far back as he can
remember. That was the Bi-
centennial year, 1976.
At the dance, later that night, it
was announced that Dawn Green
was chosen Miss Comfort, Dana
Boerner will serve as Princess and
Dawn Sanford will be our new
Duchess. These young ladies will
ride the Comfort float in the Labor

There are ironic things in life, but this matter has a sad aspect
to it: Col. 2:3 says of Jesus Christ, "in whom are all the treasures
of wisdom and knowledge hidden." "Hidden" has no
reference to a perpetual secret but means that such treasurers of
wisdom and knowledge are available only in the person of Jesus
Christ, and of him one does not have to remain ignorant. Yet, so
few make a study of Jesus. The sad irony is that we study
everything but this magnificent person.
In our fiends of education we expose ourselves even to the
point of post graduate work at the expense of much time and
money. This is understandable and society has been blessed by
our education, discovery, and application. Such has improved
our physical and material lives.
Yet, during this process, the Bible remains closed. Paul wrote
of such who "are ever learning, and never come to the
knowledge of the truth," (2 Tim. 3:7). Paul was a highly
educated man in the midst of his contemporaries. Yet, he wrote
in Phil. 3:7-8, "Howbeit what things were gain to me, these have
I counted loss for Christ. Yea verily, and I count all things to be
loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my
Lord..."
What is the point? Simply this: In eternity our special fields of
knowledge will be of no need nor purpose. There will be no need
for medical doctors, farmers, technicians, etc., etc. Those things
only serve us for earthly time and circumstance.
What an embarrassment it will be to face eternity ignorant of
Jesus Christ, having ignored that "all the treasurers of wisdom
and knowledge" are only to be found in him who is himself eter-
nal.
So, pursue your secular education, — but don't leave Jesus
out of your expanding educatoinal experience! He himself
underscored the essentiality of his person, saying in Jn. 14:6, "I
AM the way, and the truth, and the life..." How important!
Jesus Christ is the focal point of Old Testament history, pro-
mise and prophecy. He was the most majestic person of his ear-
thly time. And, the New Testament and our era look back to this
figure. Meanwhile, generations of people have come and gone,
secular education has made progress and served each genera-
tion, but Jesus Christ is where all real meaning centers — Read
your Bible and come study and worship with us!
TO THE EDITOR:
In the June 20th issue of the
Boerne Star, a report of the School
Board meeting on June 17 included
my comments of support for the
Boerne Band Program and its
current leadership.
The report gave the impression
that these statements were pre-
sented as an individual. Actually, I
represented a large group of
parents and other supporters.
The meeting room was filled
nearly to capacity. When supporters
of the band program were asked to
stand, the majority of those present
did so.
After the presentation of the
Comfort Little Theatre is offering
good food and lots of laughs at their
upcoming production, “The
Comfort-Welfare Corridor.” Even
though the name of Comfort is in
their title, this group has not
presented anything in Comfort for a
long time.
