The end of May 2003 and at the end of this particular month you can count on a big gathering in Kerens. It is graduation night where all of these kids who have waltzed through four years of High School make their first steps into the real world. I always thought High School was easier than the real world.

All my bags are packed, I’m ready to go. I’m standing here, outside your door. I hate to wake you up to say goodbye.
Who was she kidding when she sang that song? I did not want to go at all but the tickets had already been purchased and the trip scheduled. Plus, I had already taken all of my shots.

Annika Sorenstam & Golf
May 19th, 2003
|

In the past few months we have had a Space Shuttle blow up, the United States invaded a foreign country, North Korea is threatening nuclear war, our Texas Liberals ran out of town to hide in an Oklahoma motel (must be a Liberal state), but there is another huge story brewing now that is racing onto the radar screen. A political correctness battle of immense proportions.
Annika Sorenstam has been invited to play in the MEN’s Colonial Invitational Pro Golf Tournament. The world is ending. Armageddon must be just around the corner with all the hoopla this is raising all over the country. Have you been listening to this stuff? Vijay Singh, the male pro golfer that just got through winning the Byron Nelson tournament threw his clubs in the water and said “Enough!” and withdrew from the Colonial Tournament. He knows what is going on.

Mother's Day at KESA
May 12th, 2003

She took the candy right out of my mouth, no doubt about it. Priscilla Gorman was determined not to let me have that candy. I had walked by that shiny white wholesome looking home made divinity earlier in the day and she pointed it out to me. “Better make a bid on that one.” Cocking an eyebrow and bending over to take a close look, I knew I had to have it. But she was setting me up. Or maybe Betty Ivey, the maker of this basket of candy, was setting us all up. At one point in the auction Tinker Ivey jumped up and made it a three figure bid on this divinity raising it to a price almost as high as the bid on a home made antique quilt on another table. I could not believe it. I was hungry too.

Don Pascal has planted his shoes right here where I am today while he was on vacation last year with his pretty wife Jean Ann. They were probably as wide-eyed as I was this morning at 9:00 a.m. when I finally parked and stepped out of an airport rent car. Wide-eyed at all of the sounds in the air, and wide-eyed at all of the immense vehicles parked nearby.
Right after I returned from the solemn battlefields of Gettysburg last year I had the opportunity to speak with Don about all the history I had just waded through and what it felt like to stand literally between the pages of a history book. I remember telling him how surprised I was with the Northerners for not allowing any Confederates to be buried at Gettysburg (those bad Yankees). It does feel different when you are around something that has only existed in classroom pictures or in books your entire existence and suddenly you see it come to life right before your eyes.

Speed Bumps
April 28th, 2003
|
|
For the third time in the Kerens Alumni Center, .I got to see a remarkable continuing family reunion. This is that annual “Speed” family gathering that occurs right here in the homeland of their ancestors in the little town of Kerens, Texas. I was one of those “Speed Bumps” in attendance, being one of the people that are not related to this wonderful family at all.
Speaking of the “Bump” people, I also had the chance to run into one of our newest residents of Kerens returning after a long absence from his hometown, Mr. Ty Whorton. I believe most everyone has heard the “Whorton” name before in Kerens. Graduating from Kerens High with the Class of 1950, here he is retired and right back at home having just moved into the house that James and Terry Orn just vacated. He was there visiting with one of his friends that happened to be a relative of the Speed’s.

KESA Easter Luncheon
April 21st, 2003
|
|
With some trepidation, with some anticipation, and with some mild preparation, we witnessed the third annual Easter Sunday Buffet Luncheon at the Kerens Alumni Center this year. It went off rather well too with the Association making at least enough to fund another $1,000 scholarship. Now if everyone had eaten at Kentucky Fried Chicken instead, well I guess Colonel Sanders can always find something to do with another big bill like that one.

My father fell last week in the kitchen of his home and broke not only his hip but also his arm in two places. Surgery for this was from 3:00 p.m. until about 8:00 p.m. at night by an overworked orthopedic surgeon at Navarro Regional Hospital. This is so tough on the elderly and this one is going to be a long period of rehabilitation. Tough on him and tough on Mama too. That broken arm is going to be a real problem with getting him up on his feet. He does have a brand new hip though. Thanks to all the people that sent flowers and to his Kerens Classmates that have been checking up on him. The Class of 1946 has to be one of the best groups that ever grew up in Kerens.

CNN, Fox, and other news broadcasts continue to march across our television screens with the content beginning to show us more detail of Iraqi civilian day to day lives. This has happened as our military has moved into the central regions of Baghdad itself and the suburbs are being searched for enemy forces. In the beginning broadcasts tended to center more on the military buildup and all of our tanks streaking across the endless deserts of sand making their way toward the capital of Iraq itself. But now we are in the heartland of the capital of this foreign country.

I was going to put something to paper tonight of historical significance or maybe something about the space shuttle. Maybe something about the war or the political implications of warfare in the Middle East as the nightly views from CNN continue to invade our homes with the invasion of Iraq. Maybe something about Kerens and computers?
Nope. Cannot do any of that because the invasion of our home tonight came from another battlefront. Tonight the newest member of our family has arrived and the house is in an uproar. My wife is running around in circles worrying that the walls are about to come down. My youngest boy is going back and forth and in and out of the house and keeps asking “What do I do now?”

There are a lot of bookstores that surround us in this area and many of you have visited some of them. The only problem is, we have to drive about an hour to visit a place where the novels and depictions of history will surround you from wall to shining wall. Each one of these bookstores has its own characteristic atmosphere of literature and sometimes, that of a solitude filled with stories both real and imagined.

Here it is Monday night and I just got through watching Bush give his speech to the nation and his ultimatum to Saddam Hussein. The speech is over and now all of the spin doctors are going round and round with half of them ridiculing the President and half of them saying this has got to be done. Can you guess which half is which? Which half elected Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter? Which half elected George Bush and Ronald Reagan? That’s a tough one isn’t it? Requires a lot of head scratching.

“Weeeeeeee” “Weeeeeee” He was squealing like the brakes on a runaway locomotive about to run off the tracks. The pig came barreling out of the door sprinting like he had just come out of the blocks in the Olympics. Snout down, ears laid back, legs stretched, he was heading hell for leather to the highway and nobody was catching him.
Once upon a time these two little kids were in the car with their father who was taking them on a trip to the shadowy lands of East Texas. It does not take long for little ones to get bored and this trip was getting that way when suddenly father decides to stop. The gas gauge was a little low and right here was a gas station on the side of the highway in this little bitty town. At least it was little bitty in the eyes of the children having lived in the big city of Corsicana for as long as they could remember, which was not very long.

The President of the United States
March 3rd, 2003
|
|
He has only been in the Presidential Office such a short time serving his first term as President of the United States, and already it seems like the whole world is looking at him. His own country is assailing him on all sides and criticisms come from everywhere. “You are a war monger!”
When he picks up the newspaper in the mornings he sees caricatures of himself and his seemingly backwoods country style. The Liberal newspapers do so enjoy seeing this conservative Republican portrayed as a country bumpkin and they milk it for everything it is worth. Reporters are having a field day making jokes about him. And those Democrats, man the things they can come up with. What would we do without our Liberals entertaining us by talking out of both sides of their mouth morning, noon, and night.

Sitting still as a stone in the saddle, Thomas raised his eyes to the sky ignoring the fire and struggle surrounding him on all sides. With his eyes wide open glaring upward with the intense strength of his faith, he prayed to his Lord to give him strength this day. He prayed with a deep resounding conviction knowing his Lord would listen to his prayer. Then he closed his eyes, opened them slowly again, and lowered his gaze back to his men. He issued his orders in the tone of command that creates a black silence. “We must kill them all.” His deep blue eyes stared fiercely from beneath the bill of his old worn hat. “Stand where you are and defend our land. If we fall today in defeat, we are all doomed.”
