This is about the born and unborn children of America…..our posterity.  The Founding Fathers of our country,  whose memory that so many current educators are trying to wipe away, were so very interested in their posterity……..the millions of yet unborn.  The Founding Fathers sacrificed their PROSPERITY for their POSTERITY.  Would you take the time toContinue reading “Our Posterity”

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”

I would really like for you to know about one of the most brilliant men that ever lived…..Isaac Newton.  Do take the time to read this short revelation about him that I have prepared for you……..  Isaac Newton was born on December 25, 1642, the same year Galileo died.  Newton’s mother was widowed twice, resultingContinue reading “Sir Issac Newton”

So, I am off in Afghanistan 5 years ago doing things that would be challenging for an 18 year old, much less an old dude like me. I am sleeping on the concrete back of those piled-up sandbags and doing things that I can’t tell you about. In late 2001 in the aftermath of 9/11Continue reading “A Soldier in Afghanistan”

                           On about the third medical team trip down to Honduras, I got this neat idea.  After our labors in the heat and humidity all day and from the pressures of the mass of people, everyone is just exhausted at the end of each day.  However, as I have related several times, we want toContinue reading “The Take-up Reel”

Do you know the for real origin of Valentines’ Day?   If not, I for sure want you to know.  Just follow along: The origin of Saint Valentine’s Day goes back to the 3rd century.  At that time, the Roman Empire was being invaded by Goths.

I was privileged to get to know Dr. Hill.  He had the huge church in the black, Watts area of Los Angeles.  He was a really big black man both physically and otherwise.  You may have seen him on one of his many TV appearances. He was reared on the outskirts of La Grange, Texas. Continue reading “E.V. Hill”

There were many “Fighting Texas Aggies” who contributed greatly to the Allied success in WWII.  However, there were probably none more so than Richard Brooks from Waco, Texas.  And you probably never heard of him.  Many have been honored and commemorated down at College Station for their contributions to our military efforts, but he hasContinue reading “Richard Brooks”
