April 21 is San Jacinto Day in Texas, which celebrates the final battle of the Texas Revolution in 1836 when Texas won its independence from Mexico. The battle was fought in present-day La Porte, Texas and lasted just 18 minutes before General Sam Houston defeated General Santa Anna’s Mexican army.
Mama was a Preacher  

Mama was a Preacher

3 years ago By Louise Bishop
We grandchildren called her “Mama”. Many called her “Sister Richards”. For fifty years she preached in tent revivals, brush arbors, and did pastoral work. Most of her preaching engagements were in the towns and communities of East Texas including Rose Vine, Center, Hemphill, Stockman, Teneha, Timpson, and Evan’s Shop in the McClelland community. She played the organ, piano, harmonica, and accordion by ear. And she preached and sang….LOUD. One of her former church members told me, “When Sister Richards preached, you didn’t have to know where the meeting was. You just had to have your ears open.”

Since the time of Adam and Eve when the two were joined together by God Himself in the Garden of Eden, marriage has been cussed and discussed, praised and pitied. Someone has said that the act of marriage dissolves a close friendship. Much has been pontificated on the subject of marriage and we will take a look at what people have said over the years.
