As I have written before, historians say that General Curtis Lemay was one of the most important warriors that our country ever had. During WWII we were not putting any effective bombs on the Japanese, and that had to be done if we were ever going to defeat them. However, he showed us how toContinue reading “Lemay in Asia”

In the Summer of 1980 China had just been opened to outsiders. The people there all still wore those grey baggy clothes……everyone the same. If one was privileged to be able to “dress up” it had to be in one of those Mao suits. There was no style, no color as respects clothing. Except forContinue reading “China”

This is an excerpt from my soon to be published book, as are several others in these posts. I have already alluded to Dr. E.V. Hill’s insight into how God works. Remember, Dr. Hill said that God decided to do His work only through people. As Dr. Hill put it: That was the dumbest thingContinue reading “Dr. Edward Teller”

Clarice was one of the most amazing ladies who ever lived in Dallas. Even when she was quite “up in years” she still taught and sponsored a large number of bible classes across the area. It is hard to calculate all the good that she did. She was so much of an influence that sheContinue reading “Clarice Nichols”
