July 26, 2024 - Good Morning! It's Friday, July 26.
A man died on this day in 1863. Here's his resume.
- U.S. Congressman
- U.S. Senator
- Major General
- Hero and wounded in two wars
- Led ragtag army, outnumbered 2 to 1, to victory over a superpower
- During two separate periods, lived with the Cherokee
- Governor of two U.S. states
- Ran twice for U.S. president
- Served as president of another country
- His name was the first word spoken from the moon
Of course I'm talking about Houston, Sam Houston. What a resume! A truly amazing life. And on November 19, 1854, he added the greatest moment to his great life.
On that day, Samuel Houston, 61 years old, was baptized.
Meet you back here on Monday,
