I just noticed today while visiting at Chuck’s house, this pretty water tower ½ block from his house. It is one of several that have a flag with a star painted in red, white, and blue. Our water comes from underground, and is extremely purified before being piped out to houses and businesses. This water is a plus for Perryton. So many places get their water from lakes, and it cannot be uses for drinking by folks living around the lake, because it has not been purified. I have know of cities who do not have quality drinking water, because of a poor purification system. This is the reason millions of gallons of bottled water are being sold daily. I have no fear at all of drinking Perryton’s water, but every where else I go I usually take bottled water. I am paranoid about my drinking water. I even doubt that all bottled water is pure. I do drink the coffee, and tea at restaurants, but I have often been left with an up-set stomach. Perryton’s water comes from the wonderful oquliqia reservoir. It’s a great feeling to live directly over this huge reservoir.
I, and a friend, will be campaigning for the next several days for a Texas State Representative for the 88th district. We will be working hard to get Richard Beyea from Perryton elected. Our city has suffered greatly from lack of leadership relating to the oil and gas resources. This part of West Texas is very dependant upon oil and gas for it’s economy. At this time due to loss of production, and other reasons of extra expense to the producer, caused by freelancing, the oil, and gas, activity has dropped to near rock bottom. Our local taxes have risen greatly. This would not have happened if we would have had the right State Representative in office. The candidate running for that office against him will make a good one. He needs lots of help to get his name out, since the incumbent is running for his third term. I used to love to campaign, but not to excited about it anymore. I depend on prayers a lot, but so does my candidate.
I am experiencing a host of answered prayers. I sometimes have to think if I am right or not, when the opposition forces set in. However I know God does test us, before real victory comes. Nothing is easy, but we must take things as they come. I claim victory long before it happens, when I see a first sign of God in the fix. As long as I wait upon God to work out all the problems, I will be a winner. I have a goal in life, and it must be met before I leave this world. I just pray, “Take my hand precious Lord and lead me on.” Never will I doubt that God is doing that.
God Bless
