the possibilities...
Matthew 19:25 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? 26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
It wasn't really near Big Bend. It happened around Van Horn, TX in what Customs and Border Patrol calls "the Big Bend Sector"; an enormous swath of the border. Big Bend Park and Van Horn are about 175-200 miles apart.
Well, tonight at aa we discussed our Thanksgiving experiences and gratitude. Since I am always very happy when holidays are over, it wasn't too monumental to me. Then I remembered you John and your lifestyle experience. Everyone talked about family. All the people from San Antonio go to Houston and vice versa to see family. I never explain but what bothers me about some holidays is the play on emotions and spend, spend, spend encouraged by the merchants over nostalgic feelings. This results in heavy traffic, big crowds, crashes, rudeness, and so forth. Then everything shuts down during the holidays. Even when my children were home, we would sometimes work during some of those days when everyone else went nostalgically berserk - or whatever. I am just grateful to be an American. I guess these holidays are supposed to bring us all together or something with traditions.
Do you know anything about the agent Martinez death? They said it happened in the Big Bend area.
