     With everything that is happening in our country.  There are people that still believe it's a guns fault that people are dying.  These are also the same people that think if we legalize marijuana no harm will come to anyone. These are the people that believe that only adults that use the drug and my kids will be fine.  People believed that if alcohol was outlawed it would be best for the country a long time ago.       These are all examples of problems that can not be legislated.  These are problems that can only be educated.  Children that grow up on farms and ranches or with families that hunt are taught the proper ways to handle a gun.  These are also the families that teach their kids morals and to know whats right from wrong.       Kids do not go and kill other people for the 'fun of it' .  Kids do not go out and shoot people at the early hours of the morning . This is a parenting...

      Recently an actor stood up at at the teen choice awards and made a speech, that in my opinion will make history . Click the sentence above for the link to the YouTube video.  People young and old need to hear this speech.  They need to hear it from their parents, their teachers, their counselors and even their friends.      When I was in college I did a few different jobs.  I worked on local farms in College Station, flipped burgers, and even on campus.  Those jobs were very important to the survival of me and my years in college. When I was out of college I actually started working in retail sales.  Within no time I was an assistant manager and within a year I was managing my own store.  There are a lot of reasons that I moved up so quickly.  One of the largest reasons is I wanted to do a good job even if it was sorting boots, straightening shelves and racks of clothes.      I also knew that I wou...

     I will be the first to admit that there are plenty of times when I do something or say something and I sound like a complete idiot.  This is a gift that god has blessed us all with at some point in time.      This last weekend Dad and I went to see family and some good friends. It's always great to get away for a relaxing weekend.  The one downside is I tend to not read a paper or check twitter or news stations.  This allows me to really clear my mind and not worry or think about too much while relaxing.      Monday's can be a drastic day for everyone if we allow it to be and give that power to others.  As I got home from a decent Monday I started really watching the news and catching up on the events over the last few days.  Lets sum items from recent stories over the last month that stand out to me. A man killed a young man that was beating his head against the pavement went free, found not guilty. A com...

     It may seem like a strange title, I hope its a blog that many will enjoy. Today was a Sunday where my Dad and me did not do a whole lot. We laid around the house after our outside chores were completed. Dad took a nap and I played on the computer.  One reason we were so tired is we hauled hay Friday evening and Saturday morning.      Friday was a day where I drove to work, about an hour, worked 8 hours, and drove home also about an hour.  Then went and hauled hay and unloaded it in the barn.  Went to bed and got up and did it again.  We still had calves to feed, water troughs to fill up and a high maintenance Chinese Pug to feed and walk.      This was all while it was very hot out and something a lot of people do in the summer time.  It's called hard work. This is something that some people are immune too.  There are people in this world that won't even live in a house they own because of all the extra ...
