How’s about a caramel Sunday sundae today? A big scoop of our oh so popular “Salted Butter Caramel Crazy” and salty caramel swirled chocolate “Pretzel Logic” (hat tip Steely Dan) topped with hot caramel fudge, sprinkled with Heathbar crumbles, drenched in bourbon vanilla whipped cream and finished with a cherry as always for good luck… 🍒

Sunday scripture: Acts 9:16 KJB… “For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.”

Few more true words have ever been spoken. The apostle Paul suffered greatly for the Lord and he fulfilled his commission with an unshakable love for his fellow man, even for those who continually sought to kill him (2 Cor 11:23-28).

Ananias makes his way to see Saul and speaks of Jesus sending him that Saul might regain his eyesight.

Acts 9:18 KJB… “And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.”

This water baptism follows that baptism of John for repentance and remission of sin. Though this practice will soon change (1 Cor 1:17), it is what was called for at the time. Saul begins to eat and regains his strength, remaining in Damascus.

Acts 9:20 KJB… “And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.”

Note well, we are still in Hebrew synagogues. The Jews there were shocked indeed to hear the former hunter of believers begin to teach the very things his prey believed.

Acts 9:22 KJB… “But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.”

The focus remains on Jews because up until this point it is the Jews through whom God speaks to the world. It is yet unknown, but that mystery or hidden wisdom of God (1 Cor 2:7-8, Rom 16:25-27) has begun to be revealed with Christ’s unprophesied return to the unbelieving Saul.

Is there anything about his behavior that would cause Christ to show favor? No, for Saul was the chief of sinners (1 Tim 1:15-16). Previously, all believers were commanded to love the Lord, keep the commandments and sell all property as the earthly Kingdom was at hand. Something very different is happening here. ...

Another shooter off our St. Patrick’s Day March Madness Cocktail Menu! “Green Tea Shots” are made with a combination of Jameson Irish Whiskey, some peach schnapps and our house sweet -n- sour mix. Tempting, tasty, tenable and as easy to drink as fallin’ off a log… 😆 I said it before and I’ll say it again, let the Irish shenanigans begin!

Ooooh-weee it sure was rainin’ early this morning! Lightnin’ flashin’, thunder crashin’ enough to nearly wake the dead! It looks like much of that stuff has moved off to our east. There’s another diminishing front headed in our direction that might bring one last storm to our door just past lunchtime, but after that it looks like we’ll be in the clear! A bit chilly out there with a high of only 58 degrees dropping to a low of 47 by early Sunday morning. The sun will shine once again on Sunday and temps will rise through 70 givin’ us a nice finish to our weekend!

If it’s Green Tea Shots on the menu today, now ya know right where to find ‘em! Of course all y’all know where to go to find the boozy ice cream, doncha… 😉 Well, those two places are one and the same; we got all that and more here at your friendly neighborhood Ice Cream Barlor! Make your Saturday a sweeter one and come see us after a delicious lunch or dinner at any one of downtown’s finest dining establishments! There’s somethin’ for everyone there on the square and we’ll leave the lights on till 11:00 for ya. Have yourselves a fantastic Saturday friends… 😊

Happy Friday everyone, the weekend is here! It’s big fun at the Barlor tonight, we got DFW’s own Creek Bed Drifters comin’ to play a wild mix of red dirt, folk and bluegrass music that’s just gotta be heard! Lemme tell ya, these folks are fun, y’all… 🤠 Come on in, grab a table and don’t be late, the first set starts at 8:00!

Them no-rain vibes are holdin’ the line, our chances of rain has dropped several percentage points! We may see a scattered thunderstorm or two develop later this afternoon and again very early Saturday morning but my money is on the vibes! We might even see peeks of sun before the day is through! High temps in the upper 70’s today and down around 70 Saturday and Sunday by which time these clouds should blow away.

The Drifters got iced out back in January (that seems like a long time ago already) so we’re real glad to have ‘em back here in March! Super cool folks playin’ super cool tunes… 😎 I just know you’re gonna love ‘em! Join us tonight for good times, crafty cocktails, boozy ice cream and live music all in one cool place! The weekend starts here, the weekend starts now but the big fun starts when YOU get downtown!

Can I get a heck-yeah, let the shenanigans begin indeed… 😁 We here at the Barlor are feelin’ just a wee bit Irish already and St. Patrick’s Day is still two weeks away! Shenanigans are right up our alley, always have been, just look at what we do with perfectly good ice cream… 😆 This picture here might look like two mugs of beer but shenanigans have crept in againigan; these are what we call “Mini-Beers”, shots of deliciously sweet Licor 43 with our house bourbon vanilla whipped cream floated on top! One of our special St. Paddy’s Day shots… ☘️☘️☘️

The rain held off for much of the evening last night and there’s a 50% chance of thunderstorms today. Since shenanigans are in play let’s roll the dice and say, I think our Friday Eve is gonna be a good one… 😉 Keep them no-rain vibes flowin’ for tomorrow cause we got wonderful live music featuring the very talented Creek Bed Drifters for ya!

Here’s to hoping the whole weekend ain’t a bust; the forecast is lookin’ kinda sketchy for sure. The vibes have worked a charm in the past and I’m puttin’ my money on ‘em yet again! Getchoo a jump-start on the shenanigans and come on out for Mini-Beers tonight and some shenanigan inspired ice cream too, the weekend is only a day away… 😊

It’s Wednesday once again and time for karaoke! The Krew is assembled and the time is right, say goodbye to those mid-week blues cause it’s Kocktails and Karaoke with Tish on the hot mics tonight starting at 7:00! Join us for a good time singalong all night long; the tide is high and so am I, hit it Blondie… youtu.be/8Ak06IseGgg?si=GmvVo4HvU9FtHHM6 😎

Maybe the rain will hold off so we can have some fun this evening… 🤞 There is rain in the forecast unfortunately and it looks like it’s gonna stick around and wet our weekend too… 🫤 Let’s get them no-rain vibes flowin’ for Friday at least cause we got the always amazing Creek Bed Drifters comin’ to town to make up for a missed Friday back in January and we just can’t rain on their parade two times in a row…!

Put the umbrella by the door and grab that thing if ya need to. It looks like one is gonna come in handy these next several days. On the bright side, at least it’s not an ice storm that closed us down for days on end; we can deal with some Spring time thunderstorms to fuel the budding of the trees! If you feel like braving the rain, head on over to the Barlor and come sing some of your favorite songs; tonight’s the night we turn the audio system over to you and you call the tunes! We’ll be playin’ ‘em till 10:00 for ya, rain or shine… 😁

Gotcha a little public service announcement today. Besides being primary election day here in Texas I found this map indicating when hummingbirds begin to arrive back in North America from their winter stay down south. We absolutely love the remarkable tiny creatures and this serves as a great reminder as to when we should get our feeders filled with one third part raw sugar and two thirds parts filtered water to help them along their way. Several pairs usually take up residence near our feeders and raise their young ones throughout the Spring and Summer seasons before heading South once again come mid-September and we just love that!

We got us a nice day today but there’s some rain coming too. A mix of sun and chemtrail clouds today with a high in the low 80’s dropping down into the mid 60’s overnight. It’s lookin’ like karaoke night might be kinda wet and Friday too so get them no-rain vibes a-flowin’ cause the Creek Bed Drifters are comin’ back to town to play for us!

We’ll be headin’ to the polls today to cast a vote for docpetechambersfortexas in the hopes for leadership that puts Texans first and clears our skies of chemical geoengineering (solar radiation) efforts (to learn more see Geoengineering Watch); and fillin’ up our hummingbird feeders for the first time too in the hopes of attracting a few to stick around and successfully raise the next generation! We remain hopeful for positive change in our lives with issues both big and small; and for us creatures both big and small too!

I do believe winter is officially behind us cause here we are in March of 2026! There’s a really fun day that happens in March on the 17’th which is a Thursday this year; the perfect day to start a weekend just a wee bit early… 😉 It’s Saint Patrick’s Day, woohoo… and so we can start celebrating that big fun day just a wee bit early too, here’s some Smithwick's Ireland Red Ale to help quench your thirst… ☘️☘️☘️ A beautiful blend of mild hops, sweet malts and roasted barley, that deep ruby red color makes it distinctively Smithwicks!

A nice day today but there’s some changes on the way. With Spring comes rain and the rain is coming this week. High temps in the mid 70’s today and upwards of 82 tomorrow with a mix of sun and clouds. Things get wet starting Wednesday and we’re gonna need them no-rain vibes for Friday as the amazing Creek Bed Drifters make their triumphant return after being snowed out during the January ice storm!

It’s one of those “get out while the gettin’s good” weeks, yes it is. The gettin’s good tonight and tomorrow; we’ll see what Wednesday looks like, and hopefully it ain’t too bad for Kocktails and Karaoke… 🤞🤞🤞 Get on out there and have a little fun and if you happen to be havin’ a little fun in downtown McKinney, swing by the Barlor for a little taste of Ireland as we all look forward to the day when everyone is just a little bit Irish… 😁

Got ya a little somethin’ Springlike for today’s Sunday sundae, a large cup filled with our Grand Mariner infused, honey sweetened “Orange Blossom Special” drizzled with honey, sprinkled with white chocolate flakes, orange ripples and topped with bourbon vanilla whipped cream and a cherry as always for good luck…🍒

Sunday scripture: Acts 9:8 KJB… “And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.”

That light which shined down from heaven was the Lord Jesus in His glorified body; bright enough to blind Saul that his men had to lead him by hand unto Damascus. For three days he did neither eat nor drink. Meanwhile the Lord was constructing the framework to reach Saul with information the world had never heard before.

Acts 9:10 KJB… “And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.”

Ananias is a faithful servant and when Christ calls, Ananias responds…

Acts 9:11-12 KJB… “And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth, And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight.”

…but not without some trepidation as Ananias knows of Saul and his mission to take captive Jewish believers like himself.

Acts 9:13-14 KJB… “Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem: And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.”

God is ever in control and Ananias is reassured.

Acts 9:15 KJB… “But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:”

Till this moment there have been no apostles sent specifically to the Gentiles. The totality of scripture has been focused upon Christs ministry to reclaim the earth via the nation Israel. Clearly the earth is fallen; realize that heaven is fallen as well (Rev 12:7). ... See MoreSee Less
