TRAIL BOSS' JOURNAL Trail Date: March 6, 1886 Location: Somewhere On the Sedalia Trail Dear Journal, Remember the Alamo. How often did I hear that as a child growing up? We had kin who fought with Sam Houston at San Jacinto. The battle that won the war for independence. Today we took a side trip to Brenham TX town for supplies and were surprised to see banners and signs announcing something called a semicentennial celebration of the battle at the Alamo. There was a dinner on the ground at the local church. Some local dignitaries spoke and then a grizzled old Methodist preacher named John Wesley Kennerman spoke. He had been a circuit ridin' preaching during the fight for independence over on the Brazo river territory. He spoke of the dedication of the brave volunteers who fought and gave their lives for freedom for future Texans. He reminded us that Freedom is never free and that much of the freedoms we enjoy as Christians came at a cost. My bible lays open beside me now at John 3:16. As I close it is with a prayer of thanks for the free range I ride as a Trial Boss and a child of God. Fire's about out, Stars are shining. Time for my talk with the Lord.   Scripture reference:  God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. ç   Show Notes:   Remember The Alamo   A remembrance of the fight for freedom a the Alamo in 1836 and the cost of "freedom" for believers.
