Some Talk.....Some DO!


The crew of Columbia’s final flight...all seven of them...are Champions.
I have always told the children in our family that there is a difference between being a ‘winner’ or a ‘champion’.
To me......a CHAMPION is better than being a winner.
A ’Champion’ works hard, is responsible for his success and gets up and goes again and again for the goal....win or not.
A winner is a one time...win.

The St. Pete Times had an article today about debris being found all over the Texas area and how notoriety has come to obscure places. It went on to say....’Amid tragedy and sudden fame, simple values in Nacogdoches, Texas shine through.”
A retired farmer was interviewed and had this to say about his town...
“When someone dies, people you don’t even know show up, bringing you flowers and food. If you need some friends, this is the place.’
The reporter asked another resident this question......”Do you suppose that Nacogdoches(nack-uh-DOH-chuz) will change after all this attention?”
Billy Smith, a cowboy in a black felt hat, paused over his hamburger at Smokehouse Grill.....”People’s good,” he said. Taking another bite...he finishes with....”How could it change?”

Some Talk.....Some Do!
