Earthly Ambassadors for Above

Earthly Ambassadors for Above

When a cowboy or bull rider reaches a level where he gets a corporate sponsorship, he works for that sponsor. When we own our own business, we want employees that represent us to the public well and we think twice about how we speak to someone. We take our commitment to our sponsor seriously and we care that he or she or the business is well-represented. 02/21/2024 05:00

Let’s All Vote in the GOP Primary

I’ve lived in Texas for over forty years, but it wasn’t until I moved to Bandera a few years ago that I learned much about Texas politics. The occasion was the 2020 Presidential election, and I volunteered at the polls along with a very interesting bunch of fellow volunteers, Republicans and Democrats alike. 02/21/2024 05:00

Letter From a Birmingham Jail

Letter From a Birmingham Jail

In April of 1963, Martin Luther King, Jr. was arrested and jailed in Birmingham, Alabama. Alone for several days in the dull “monotony of a narrow jail cell,” as he described it, King penned a letter that has been described as one of the most important historical documents ever written. Considered a classic treatise on civil disobedience, it is perhaps one of the most beautifully crafted and eloquent letters ever composed. Every American should read it. 02/07/2024 00:00
