I am still pumped up about
this honorable place called the Texas State Capital grounds. Many
buildings, with many offices, with many state elected, and appointed
men, and women, serve our proud portion of the United States here. If
you ask me it is the best state in the union. My son, and both of his
children have been volunteers, and paid employees to work at this
weighty, influential Texas Power House. It gave back to them
knowledge, and will power, to challenge every type of obstacle that
crossed their path. God bless Texas, and God bless America. God is
blessing my children, and grandchildren. They keep me on edge as to
what opportunity they will be offered next. They just will not be
satisfied with a life without challenges. I call this one of God's
greatest blessing to man, although I have never fit into that
category. I'm thankful for the simple life I have always been
accustomed to. I have always been a lemon pie maker. If life gave me
lemons, I made a pie. Sometimes the pie wasn't very sweet, but we
always ate it without much frowning. Jesus carried his own heavy
cross up the mountain to where He was to be crucified. I would not
expect to be treated any better although, because Jesus did that, we
do not have to be crucified. We all have a cross to bear, but it will
never be as hard as Jesus cross.
My day has been filled with business trips to take care of personal needs. We are not without need to keep our business updated. This changing, challenging, sophisticated time we're living in is hard on our nerves. It seems like I am always being asked to change my routine to a new version of doing what I have been doing for years. Back to school, but not in a classroom. It's just whoever you can get to teach the new system. About the time I get it learned, it changes again. It's suppose to be easier, but how can you go through the dessert without water to get to “easier.” I hear ye Israelite children. I wouldn't want to change places with you. But I do have to praise your great leaders who led the way. We are all flesh and bones, and was created to live as such. When this life is over we may be allowed to look back at our graded test, and know more about how well we did. I can't feel too confident that I made a high score. I have never felt naturally smart. I depend upon God to help me with my work each day. I know that my score will depend mostly upon how I've treated other people. Everyone needs to study hard on this subject of love. It doesn't have a formula to go by. It just has a demand to “love thy neighbor as thyself.” If we don't love our-self then I don't think we will love others.
God Bless
