Texas Bred. American by birth, Texan by choice!

Today is November 24, 2007. While I have wanted to start a blog for a long time, I know that action is the only way to accomplish a goal - not wishing, wanting, thinking, planning, or getting ready to get ready, etc. (as important as those things are).

"It is only in the doing that things get done" - Texas Bred.

This blog will focus on things that are important - faith, family, and freedom.

American is a land of promise to those who honor the Creator, the Rule of Law, and support the rights, freedom and protections identified in the Declaration of Independence and implemented by the Constitution of the United States of America. It must ever be the HOME OF THE BRAVE to remain the LAND OF THE FREE. May each citizen with the courage and conviction of the Founding Fathers, at least in our hearts, pledge our "Lives, Fortunes, and our sacred Honor". May it ever be thus for those of us to whom it is entrusted.
