What this world needs is a few more CCYR members! Our members had a blast (literally) at our recent member-exclusive Clay Shoot.
Join today at https://t.co/rwcGBvmfLn to not miss out on our three remaining special quarterly events.
I believe in one God,
the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God,
Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
consubstantial with the Father;
through Him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
He came down from heaven,
and by the Holy Spirit
was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.
For our sake He was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
He suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead,
and His kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Lord, the Giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism
for the forgiveness of sins,
and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come.
Amen. 🙏🏼

4 years ago, both of my grandparents passed away, starting a court battle that's put 200 years of Texas history for sale.
The estate includes hundreds of acres near Marble Falls, TX, that have been in my family since before Texas was Texas. Stephen F. Austin himself granted this land to my ancestor, Captain Jesse Burnam, in the 1820s, one of the original "Old Three Hundred" families. There are stories of him fighting off Native Americans and fighting in wars!
That land stayed in our family for five generations. There's a state historical marker on it, placed by the Texas Historical Commission in 2014.
My family has never had money in the bank kind of wealth. But I wouldn't sell this land for millions of dollars. Some things matter more than money, and history and nature are two of them.
My aunt, the executor, has managed this estate about as badly as it's possible to manage one, burning hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees fighting my mom and uncle, to the point that land had to be sold just to cover the bill. Yes, there was a will involved, but it's complicated...
Now, more than 150 acres of it are listed for sale by my aunt. My aunt has no heirs of her own tied to this place.
And beautiful, spring fed land that survived the Texas Revolution, five generations of my family, and a war with Mexico might get bulldozed for a subdivision.
What I'm hoping for is that it doesn't end with a developer.
If you know a rancher, a conservation buyer, a family, or a land trust looking for real Texas Hill Country land with real history, let me know.
250 years ago, our Founding Fathers declared the Colonies to be free and independent states, dissolving all political bonds with Great Britain. The Patriots would not stand idly by amid the long train of abuses and usurpations by King George, who sought to reduce the Colonies to absolute Despotism. "With a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence," they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to the cause of independence and ordered liberty. Through this appeal to Heaven, victory was won!
Never forget the great men who fought the early battles for us and paved the way for the nation we have today.
Flo Balogun, who just scored the game-leading goal for the U.S. Men’s National Team, was only born here because his mother’s airline wouldn’t fly her home to London at 7 months pregnant. She was on a *tourist visa.*
Because her son is a U.S. citizen by birth, we’re winning.
