I sent a post about Russia previously.  In it I described how I finally discovered why I was supposed to go.  However, here I wanted to describe to you a little of what it is like in a government-controlled system of Socialism from really personal “hands-on- experience”.  I don’t want you to have to go,Continue reading “More on Russia”

I have written about the head of the Rangers who informed me that he had taken care of and protected me all of my life. Some of the other Rangers that I have known just seemed bigger than life. There is a popular saying about the rangers, that the local authorities call Austin and urgentlyContinue reading “Texas Rangers”

    As I mentioned elsewhere in this book, I was good friends with Bunker Hunt. He was a most interesting man. He really kept his thoughts quite simple. He was also very self-effacing. Even when he was considered one of the world’s richest men, being with him, you would never have guessed it if youContinue reading “The Hunts”

45 minutes north of my house is a large kid’s prison. It is for youth ages 12 through 19. Most are ages 15 through 17. It is called the Gainesville State School, but believe me, it is a very secure prison. It is complete with the high inward curving electric fence and razor wire. EveryContinue reading “Prison Boys”

We desperatly need more men like this right now.                                          Eddie Rickenbacker – Bigger than Life This was one of the most incredible men who ever lived in the United States.  He so loved this country, and spent his lifeContinue reading “Eddie Rickenbacker – bigger than life”

While in China with Chinese Intelligence I wanted to visit and see the area where Lottie Moon had ministered.  So, they agreed to take me there.  At that time there were no flights to Yantai, the main prefecture city.  There were no fast trains, either.  We had to take a really slow “local” that madeContinue reading “Shandong Province”

If you have ever been involved with Southern Baptists, I am sure you know about Lottie Moon.   She was a missionary to China in the late eighteen hundreds.  Southern Baptists have the largest foreign mission effort of any group in the world.  They raise almost all that money each year at Christmas time.  It isContinue reading “Miss Lottie Moon”

After the trip to China just described, I worked with Chinese Intelligence for 22 years.  But before you question whether that was “good” or not let me explain.  Shortly after 1980 the Chinese authorities were still determined to know about the United States’ “management system”………just like the authorities in Russia wanted to know.   Since central planning of a huge economyContinue reading “More on China”

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”

I have written about a bunch of amazing people in this book.  Most of them have already died.  Many were so close to God, and God used them to do some amazing things for Him.   Now I want to tell you about one who is still very much alive as I write this.   It isContinue reading “Dr. Peter Pry – EMP”
