Patti Miller had been thinking of taking on some kind of business for quite some time, but she wasn’t really sure what she wanted to do. That is until she discovered that the owner of Cottrell’s Chris- tian Bookstore, which had been in business for thirty-three years, was getting ready to retire. She and her husband, Tom, were friends of the Cottrell’s, they attended the same church, and she says she had been going to the bookstore for as long as she can remember. So on February 1st when Patti became the proud owner of the bookstore, she set about doing exactly what all women do when they move into a new house, or as in this case, a new business, she and her team set about making it her own. The name was the very first thing she changed, inspired by Matthew 17:20, the bookstore is now “The Mustard Seed”. This is not your average book- Folk Family Revival, shown above, store.

One full wall has become a lovely giant chalkboard where Patti can be creative in sharing a favorite Bible verse or simply announcing an item that is on sale, with only a piece of chalk. Very clever. She was innovative, not only in her design but in her amazing inventory as well. Literally, walls of books have been added and the bookshelves throughout the store are all new. There is a staggering style and variety of Bibles, even camouflaged Bibles for the men and women who serve our country, and there are many other Two Tons of Steel is one of the inspirational books as well. If you find a Bible you like, they will “heat stamp” it festival favorites. with your name, at no extra charge. They carry lots of devotionals and interesting books for children of all ages too. They have a large “Bible journaling” section too. Remember when you used a yellow highlighter to mark one of your favorite passages in your Bible and when your mother saw it you were grounded for a week? Or you wrote a note along the side margin of the page and the ink seeped through and ruined a couple of other pages of your Bible? Well, not any longer. You can now purchase special “Journaling Bibles” and even take a class to learn how to highlight it. They have an amazing array of tools which make it easy and fun to create a visual Scripture entry. They will be starting Bible journaling classes at The Mustard Seed in late May. They will teach you how to personalize these unique Bibles using gel pens, highlighters, markers, and watercolors that will not bleed through thin Bible paper, and make it come to life for you. It’s a creative way to meditate and reflect on your reading. They are especially proud of books written by local authors and they showcase those along with several other crafts by local artisans as well. All with the empha- sis on faith, but not limited to it. You will find some of the most beautiful jewelry, candles, and fragrant soaps. They stock a great selection of Michel Design Works, including, but not limited to, Magnolia, Lemon Basil, Lavender, Rosemary, Honey Almond. These make a great gift. You will also find beautiful signs, pillows, coffee mugs, unique kitchen towels, cookbooks and much much more. Right now they are getting ready for Easter and they plan to have a dedicated jewelry line available by Mother’s Day so you can be sure they will have some incredibly beautiful PLEASE SUPPORT items, and/or the perfect book for your mother.

This simple quote is from their website. I think it reflects the vibe of the whole store, perfectly. Patti simply invites you to, “Come see us and get your inspiration to make today a great day!” Now, I think that is something we all want. Matthew 17:20, “ Because you have little faith, truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you”. (Just ask Patti, she’ll Our Pledge . . . verify this is true.)

Tailgating is another invitation to a severe collision. If a truck stops in front of you, it is likely that you will run up under a trailer when following too closely. Trailer bumpers are not impact absorbing like small vehicles, and they can come right up over the hood and into the front seat. It’s not the truck’s fault. With more than 6,500 lane miles in the Lufkin District and 8.8 million daily vehicle miles traveled in the district, it is important that you and your loved ones remember to be safe around the hundreds of trucks you will see each day. We expect those numbers to grow in coming years as Interstate 69 and Interstate 14 expand through the Lufkin District, creating additional lane miles to transport freight across the state and “cross country.” Be safe. Drive smart.
