A Birth Certificate shows that we were born. A Death Certificate shows that we died. Pictures show that we lived Have a seat . . . and enjoy the ride between I Believe I believe . . .that just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other. And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do love each other. I believe . . .that we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change. I believe . . .that no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while, and you must forgive them for that. I believe . . .that true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.

The Journey Author Unknown At first I saw God as my observer, my judge, keeping track of the things I did wrong so as to know whether I merited heaven or hell when I die. He was out there sort of like the president. I recognized His picture when I saw it, but I didn't really know Him But later on when I really knew Him, it seemed as though life was rather like a bike ride, but it was a tandem bike, and I noticed that God was in the back helping me pedal. I don't know just when it was that He suggested we change places, but life has not been the same since - life with God that is. He makes life exciting! But when He took the lead, it was all I could do to hang on! He knew delightful paths, up mountains and through rocky places - and at breakneck speeds. Even though it looked like madness, He said, "Pedal !" I worried and was anxious and ...

The Overland Mail Service (and Stagecoach)

639 days ago

After writing the blog just below this one about the Overland Mail Service, I began to find more and more research resources and, although I will continue researching, I have decided that at this point I have no reason to make any corrections to what I've already written. I'm going to stand by it. Yes, I'm aware that it may not have happened exactly as I describe, but for the lack of known facts, I see no reason to change it. It's as factual as I presently can get it. I finally managed to get a copy of "The Overland Mail" book (from St. Louis to San Francisco) which was documented by a Waterman L. Ormsby. Mr Ormsby was the first passenger to ride the stagecoach from the beginning to the end (going from East to West). Mr Ormsby documented it for what was then the "New York Herald" back in mid 1858. The New York Herald published it over the months of September, October and November of 1858. His book is apparently the only documented source for ...

The Overland Mail Service

657 days ago

Recently I have been researching information of and about the Mail Service, and more specifically of the old 'stagecoaches' that used to run many years ago. Actually, what brought it about is that I live in an area of Texas that was once known as "Tate Springs". Tate Springs doesn't exist anymore........well, not by that name. Geographically, it is still in the same spot it's always been. It's just not called that anymore except to those who have lived in or near the area any length of time. It is now a part of Arlington, Texas. Historically, it is described as having been a Baptist Encampment, and a school which dates back to somewhere in the middle 1800's. There is still a Baptist church at that spot. There is still a school there also. Both have gone through many changes over the years. The school is presently listed as the "oldest active school in the Arlington ISD". At one point it was in the Ft Worth ISD. However for many years it wasn't ...
