Offsite Insight!- Treaty Oak!!

The "Treaty Oak" in downtown Austin is the last surviving oak of a grove of 14 known as the Council Oaks. Local folklore suggests that the oak was the sacred meeting place of local Indians in the area and even witnessed the signing of a peace treaty between Stephen F. Austin and the Indians. The Indian women believed that a potion made of a mixture of honey and its acorns would ensure a safe return of warriors and loved ones. Having endured an attack by a lunatic that tried to kill it with massive amounts of poison, the tree provided the perfect backdrop for us to discuss our own need for deep roots that are tapped into the strength of the Lord, and to trust Him when he chooses to prune us and shape us as He sees fit. A beautiful place to glorify a beautiful God!!
