  1. That is what I wish would happen.  I see these elections come and go and they all focus on what they feel people want to hear.  Black, yellow, red or white, pandering to the division.  Would it be possible for an actual leader to emerge?  I see these major events come and just would love to see the president break in and actually speak from the heart.  So many opportunities come and go and the abilities to heal and bring people together are squandered.  

  2. After what Stanford did to Tech a lot of people thought that Stanford was the team to beat coming in to Omaha.  NC State dispatched the #1 team in the nation and they have a 4 run lead over Stanford in the 4th.  I can’t believe any team would wear black during the day in Omaha.

  3. To the disdain of many I believe there were numerous improprieties in this past election.  Too many things just didn’t meet the logic or smell test.  With that being said, I am so tired of all these commissions, groups, investigations researching everything.  The lines are drawn, we believe what we believe and they believe what they believe.  There are ideological and definitive divisions within this country that I fear will never heal.  There is manipulation through the varying media formats that are doing their job and doing it well.  I truly believe that EVEN if one of these investigations found a “smoking gun” the media would bury it, or that person would be found shot in the back of the head - committing “suicide”.  Circle the wagons, prepare yourselves for very tough times ahead, and make things right with God.  

  4. Had an observation I meant to post last week; draw your own conclusions.  After UT won their super-regional in baseball the team stayed out on the field, horns raised in celebration of the victory with their fans.  Is it just football team that has a problems with it?  Don’t really care for or follow basketball until March madness so I don’t know about the on-court traditions.  Just found it interesting in light of the “controversy” (heavy emphasis on air-quotes).

    Great article…..got to be around him and Jack when they were young.  We had boys the same age and they were always together at the Pony fields in Orange.  I’m so proud of both of them, and this is an amazing honor for Chad!  I know TD and mom are proud of all three kids, and their love and devotion definitely shine in their kids.

    What do you think?  Me personally, I will be pulling for Cheddar Dallas and the Vols, Texas or the NC State underdog Wolfpack.  Regardless, and my wife will be mad, but I will try to watch every game.

  7. Football forum does it the day after the season ends - why not baseball?  The following teams ended up in the final season polls:

    5A - #1 - Barbers Hill

            #17 - PN-G

    4A - #9 - Orangefield

            #18 - HJ

            #23 - Livingston

    3A - #11 - Woodville

            #22 - Buna

    2A - #15 - Evadale, 

    Private / Home-School - 

    #2 Good Samaritan Hornets.

     

        So who has the hosses returning to carry them to Austin/ Round Rock next year? I know Woodville and Buna were relatively young and return a great nucleus.  Evadale returns a great group but lost some really good seniors.  Anyone not on the radar that should be?  There is always a team that surprises and has a great run.  I think of the Bobcats of Orangefield as a team that got hot and surprised a few people.  Silsbee has a great core group returning and they were very young this year.  The work for a state championship starts now boys - get busy.  As a parent it is the best trip you can take, I know I miss it.

    My Canadian Liberal wife stopped reading that propaganda paper after being a subscriber for 5 years. Need I say more about your link ?

    That’s just the one link I clicked on from Google; not an ardent reader on that site.

    My postings may be erratic.  I sometimes try to think of something profound, but can’t.  Then a couple come along, like today.  Was reading an old post I kept on S. Print of a Bible quote from 2nd Timothy Ch 4 vs 3 & 4.  I’m using the St Joseph, but it’s virtually the same in King James.  

    I became Catholic about 50 years ago.  Once had a Catholic Priest preach, “The main thing is to be a good Christian.  If there’s something in Catholicism that’s a barrier to you being a good Christian, you might consider becoming a Baptist or Methodist (some old parishioners dropped their teeth, lol).  Personally, I thought it the most Christian thing I’d ever heard anyone say.  At that time, “new” non-denominational Churches were almost unheard of.  Now they’re everywhere.  I’m sure some may be fine, but I wonder about others, which brings me back to this Bible quote:

    3- The time is sure to come when people will not accept sound teaching, but their ears will be itching for anything new and they will collect themselves a whole series of teachers according to their own taste.

    4- And then they will shut their ears to the truth and will turn to myths.

    Point is, if for whatever reason your Church is blocking you from being a good Christian, be careful you don’t pick a Church that leads you astray.

    Amen!!!!!

  10. To each his own.  I think you want me to debate you and become open to the ways of the world.  I’m not sure which characteristics you say I lack, but I am okay with who I am.  I sin daily, am convicted and do what I can to be the best Christian I can be.  I serve a risen Savior and wish you nothing but the best.  I believe the topic was Critical Race Theory, and I do not agree with it.  Hopefully that gets things back on track.
