This coming Sunday in Atlanta the New England Patriots will battle it out with the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl 53.

History will be made in that it will be winner take all! Two mighty, well-equipped, well prepared teams will suit up for one last final battle. Battle is not new for either team and both teams have been to the point of seemingly defeat but refusing to concede, they came back.

The Bible talks about a battle that is to take place in the future. It is the last and final battle between good and evil. Satan and the evil forces have already suffered one great defeat when Jesus Christ died on the cross. By His death and resurrection from the grave He provided forgiveness from our sins and the free gift of eternal life with God, (John 3:16, 1 Peter 3:18). Some think the final battle will take place on the plains Megiddo, (Esdraelon, Revelation 20:8&9).

January is School Board Recognition Month and Dilley Independent School District is joining other districts across the state to honor the countless contributions of these locally elected advocates for Texas school children and public schools.

“School board members serve countless hours working to make public education the best it can be for every child,” DISD Superintendent Dr. Clint McLain said. “In a climate of change and challenge, they develop policies and make tough decisions on complex educational and social issues that affect the entire community and the lives of individual students.

“They bear responsibility and oversight in Dilley ISD for an annual budget of $12 million; 1,000 students, in grades Pre-K3 to twelfth; 25 students in the Early Childhood Center; more than 170 employees and four campuses.

Major district accomplishments achieved this year under the oversight of the Dilley ISD school board include:
