July 26, 2022 - Good Morning! It’s Tuesday, July 26.
On this day in 1863, a man passed away at the age of 70. In those seven decades this man -
*Fought in the War of 1812
*Lived for three years with a Cherokee tribe
*Was elected to Congress
*Served as a US Senator
*Was governor of Tennessee (AND Texas!)
*Led the Texas army to victory at San Jacinto
*Was the first president of the Republic of Texas
*Ran for president of the United States
An utterly amazing life. And at the age of 61, this man did the most amazing thing of his life. Sam Houston . . . was baptized.
Meet you back here tomorrow,
Bro. David
