@ToddYorkt Congrats! Retirement is great! I know you will enjoy it. I looked for you when the Hallsville’s Ladycat softball team played Heritage in the regional playoff game in Forney. Miller is our catcher. She hit a 3 run HR in the 6th to win it for us. She will be a senior.

Dr. Ben Carson warns that the media will stop at nothing to elevate Kamala Harris from being “universally disliked” to a “godlike figure.”
TUCKER CARLSON: “What do you think of Kamala Harris?”
DR. BEN CARSON: “I think she is a politician.”
TUCKER CARLSON: “Yeah.”
DR. BEN CARSON: “And she's interested in the accumulation of power and control.”
TUCKER CARLSON: “Do you think she believes in anything?”
DR. BEN CARSON: “I think she believes in government, like most Marxists. Yes, I think she is a Marxist.”
TUCKER CARLSON: “Do you think that she can win?”
DR. BEN CARSON: “Absolutely she can win. This is going to be a great test of the power of the media to take someone who formerly was universally disliked and transform them into a godlike figure, and they will use everything that they have to try to do that. The question is, are the American people smart enough to see through it? And I actually think the American people are smarter than anybody gives them credit for. And I don't think that they are going to be willing to sacrifice what we have in this country, which is what everybody else wants, even though they try to denigrate our country, say we're systemically racist, we're unfair to people. If we were all that bad, why are all these people trying to get in here? Why aren't people trying to get out of here? So we know that we have something that's very good. And I think the American people realize that, and they're not willing to give that up and trade that for something inferior.”
If I were elected Governor, I would establish a committee of current and former Superintendents and let them recommend how to improve student achievement and finance Texas public schools properly. Politicians doing this is like me performing brain surgery on myself. No vouchers!
“Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence?
Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons in the revolutionary army, another had two sons captured. Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the revolutionary war.
They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.
What kind of men were they? Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners, men of means, well educated. But they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured.
Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags.
Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward.
Vandals or soldiers or both, looted the properties of Ellery, Clymer, Hall, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.
At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson Jr., noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. The owner quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt.
Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months.
John Hart was driven from his wife’s bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished. A few weeks later he died from exhaustion and a broken heart. Norris and Livingston suffered similar fates.
Such were the stories and sacrifices of the American Revolution. These were not wild eyed, rabble-rousing ruffians. They were soft-spoken men of means and education. They had security, but they valued liberty more. Standing tall, straight, and unwavering, they pledged: ‘For the support of this declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of the divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.’”

Reading the news about the Durham report, it is evident that our nation is in a moral and spiritual crisis. We have turned our back on our Creator, Almighty God, and the results are evident. If we obeyed one of God’s simplest commands—do not lie—there wouldn’t have to be a Durham report. If we had followed God’s law—do not bear false witness—there wouldn’t have to be a Durham report. If we had followed Jesus’ instruction—do to others as you would have them do to you—there wouldn’t have to be a Durham report. What we have is sin, and it has affected every level of our government. It is growing like an aggressive cancer of the soul of our nation. I have known many fine FBI agents over the years who are honorable and love this country; however, this corruption seems to be from the top, filtering down. For public trust to come back to the FBI, there’s going to have to be some real soul-searching and some real accountability. It is my hope and prayer that those responsible for this deceit and the destruction of trust they have caused will resign and be held accountable. We need to go back to the Biblical principles and moral integrity that this nation was founded on.

HUSTLE IS A TALENT
You don't have to tell others about your commitment or desire. Your actions will speak louder than your words. Great teams have great teammates.
Don’t want church to feel like a routine?
-Pray before you get there. Ask God
to speak to you.
-Listen to worship music on the way.
-Take a Bible with you, instead of
relying on the screens.
-Don’t run late.
-Sing loudly like you mean it.
-Take notes.
-Expect God to move.
Parents, one day our kids will also stand before King Jesus, & the top priority won’t be their…
social status,
bench press,
looks,
points per game,
hobbies,
scholarships,
or class rank.
These things are okay, but how are we investing in their soul? That has to be top priority.
