October 1, 2026 - Good Morning! It’s Thursday, October 1.
Welcome to a brand new month! The first day of autumn was a week and a half ago, and here in East Texas we’e about to finally get a break from our summertime temperatures. Change is in the air, literally. Here’s ten memorable and momentous events that happened in the month of October.

What will happen in October 2026? Most probably there will be a few surprises, perhaps an event that will go down in history. We cannot know what lies in the days ahead, but we can claim the promise found in Jeremiah 29:11.
“I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
Meet you back here tomorrow,
