Echoes From the Campfire--May 11 

     "You'll be expected to perform unreasonable duties and make unreasonable sacrifices, without regard to any personal consideration.  For this you'll receive little thanks--in fact, very few will ever know of it.  If you die, you'll get six feet of Texas soil, with not headstones, and no memorial."                                                                                                                                                  --Paul I.

Echoes From the Campfire:  April 11 

     "These men were not of the same flesh or the same blood, but the response within them was the same, and the fire that shaped the steel of their natures was the same.  They were men bred to the Colt.  Bred to the law of strength.  Men who knew justice, but could fight to defend what was theirs, and what they believed."                                                                                                    --Louis L'Amour  (The Tall Stranger)

Echoes From the Campfire:  April 6 

     "This was a man's life; a part of its fullness--lying and listening to the loneliness of the hills break before the noises of the little night travelers to hear the abrasive creaking of their feet and the sibilant movement of their bodies through grass; to see small eyes winklessly shining; to hear the 'thunk' of a beaver's broad tail on the mud, and to see the v-shaped ripples on the still water where a mink swam silently, or a water ouzel cruised."                                                                 --Ernest Haycox  (Saddle and Ride)

      "He makes the clouds his chariot and rides on the wings of the wind.  He makes winds his messengers, flames of fire his servants."                                                                                           --Psalm 104:3-4 (NIV)
