[February 6, 2024] Miracles do happen. I’d been delivering newspapers on my bicycle back in my old High School days, just a few blocks from where I lived, and standing next to a green-colored, early 1950s Studebaker Champion car was this older man who looked meaner than dirt and older than Moses. With his shirt sleeves rolled up,… Read More »
[February 5, 2024] A few days before the start of my Junior year in High School, me and a few of my best buddies sat around a large fire pit eating, drinking soda, and yakking it up about whatever we wanted. The conversation strayed to many topics, and most of all, we spoke of girls. All summer, we… Read More »
[January 29, 2024] Sitting beside my Mom, I remember watching the epic movie “The Ten Commandments,” starring Charleston Heston as Moses and Yul Brynner as Pharaoh Ramesses II. It was a moment in time that helped me see my Mom as a woman of good character and that she made sure her kids understood right from wrong. Indeed,… Read More »
[January 28, 2024] A large truck convoy is headed to the Texas border. U.S. Rep. Keith Self (R-TX) announced earlier this week that truckers will hold a “demonstration along several border routes to protest the wide open [southern] border.”1 between January 29 and February 3.

[January 27, 2024] For all the hoopla surrounding politics, one of the most divisive is the Constitutional crisis we are experiencing at America’s southern border. President Joe Biden’s unwritten but deliberate policy has allowed unfettered access into our country by illegal aliens. The Texas governor has finally said that his state has had enough and told the federal… Read More »
[January 24, 2024] There is a saying about what happens to companies that adopt extreme progressive values. We’ve all heard it. “Go woke, go broke.” There has been much talk about this ever since Bud Light tanked after pandering to the woke and transgender crowd early last year. This disaster is a reality for businesses that opt to… Read More »
[January 21, 2024] Standing there with my brother Philip, we were mesmerized by the lights, the music, the crowd, and the energy of the Morehouse Parish Cotton Festival – near Bastrop, Louisiana. Like a county fair anywhere else, the cotton festival brought out everyone from miles around for curiosity, amazement, and almost professional entertainment. I was amazed. I’d… Read More »
[January 16, 2024] Today, more than ever, peace and unity are so important because we have an enemy who targets our families and relationships and brings division. Adversity comes. Disagreements happen. We have to do whatever we can to stand together. One of the most powerful ways you can strengthen your relationships is by being a peacemaker. “And… Read More »
[January 13, 2024] I wrecked out, scraping my knee into a bloody mess, ripping apart my boot, and tearing up my plaid pants. I was trying to take a turn too sharply and too fast on a sun-scorched day in Abilene, Texas. The paved road surface was soft, gooey-like from the sun’s heat, and you could see the… Read More »
[January 12, 2024] As a kid, I wasn’t concerned about sharing my toys (I had so few that sharing was easy), but I had one personality around age 13 or 14 that concerned my parents. It took me years to fix. I didn’t recognize this childhood problem until I learned how to deal with it the hard way. … Read More »
