Living for Truth
I was given the honour of delegating to the Republican Party of Texas Convention this year. This position fell onto my shoulders. I did not seek it; I was called to serve. I answered the call.
In early 2023, I had reached out to the Blexit organization. They had a call to action on their website, and I answered the call. I did not receive word from them for months. I had forgotten the entire ordeal and figured they already had selected enough individuals to become strong.
In late 2023, I moved out of the Capital area and into Ellis County for my family. In February of 2024, I was contacted by Blexit and set for interview. This was several months after I had initially made contact; things do not happen on my time nor my will but only through grace. I spoke with some leaders thereof and was blessed by their confidence in my ability to serve their organization.
When I asked them what I should do to get started, they told me to reach out to the local GOP and see what was needed for them. I obliged.
I showed up to the Ellis County GOP office the following week. When I arrived, the office was locked. I waited. Another gentleman walked up and waited as well; he soon left. I remained for 15 minutes. No one came not open the door. I asked for guidance in the hallway and the Almighty messaged me to set for five minutes more. I obliged.
Five minutes passed and still no one came. As it is my duty to follow and not to question, I began to walk away. As I took my first steps back to my vehicle, I heard a car door slam shut and was called to wait. I obliged. A man then entered the building and opened the door. We sat and had a long and fruitful conversation about Constitutional Conservativism; I was put at peace.
I was told to go to something called a “Precinct Convention”. I had to ask what a Precinct was, why there were conventions for such things, and a boatload of other questions regarding local politics. I received a great lesson that day and went on my way after entering the Precinct Convention onto my calendar.
Once again, answering the call, I arrived to the Precinct Convention. I was a new face to everyone in attendance, but I was welcomed with open arms from the very beginning. It came time to choose people to serve their precincts. My precinct, 1022, needed a secretary, and no one more experienced than I would answer the call; I answered the call. I felt comfortable being a secretary even of a group I did not know because of my history in the Courts.
Then I was asked to be a “Delegate to the Senate District Convention.” Once more I was called to serve, and once more, I answered the call without question. I did not know what a Senate District was. Those others in attendance were happy to explain to me the duties. I was also handed a form to apply to be a Delegate to the State Convention. Luckily, I was familiar with what a State was so this was simple. I entered the Senate District Convention onto my calendar and went on my way.
As it is my duty to follow and not to question, I went to the Senate District Convention. Before the Convention was to begin, I was called to be interviewed by a committee; I answered the call. I spoke to my past, my involvement with the community, and why I went from Independent to Republican. Apparently, I made a decent enough impression as I was chosen to go on to State Convention.
The Almighty spirit resident within my heart led me through patience and understanding to the RPT Convention. The reason, I came to find was truth. At the RPT Convention, I was surrounded by like-minded, Conservative, Family-Oriented, Patriots like myself. There is no better environment that I have experienced for parents and children than the RPT Convention, No better environment.
Everyone there believed their most important duty was to serve the Almighty and move us forward with grace in search of a more perfect union. Everyone was proud to parent children who knew what a boy and a girl were. Everyone was proud to secure our border, our families, our land, and our treasure. Everyone was proud to stand on business rather than standing on handouts.
Sometimes, we are called to enter into places we know nothing of. We are asked to walk through doorways past which we cannot see and for reasons we cannot yet understand. We are asked to trespass against the unknown armed only with faith. In such situations, it is our duty to act and succeed forsaking our fear and leaping into action.
I learned the truth this convention: that there was more wonder and fulfillment behind the elephant than there was behind the donkey. The promises of each are incomparable. I learned this by living for Truth, guided by spirit and not by my selfishness. I stand with those who live their lives on the pillars of faith. I stand with those who live for and with their families. I stand with those who honour the American and Texas flags. I stand with our strongest elected officials: President Donald J. Trump, Senator Ted Cruz, Representative Brian Harrison, and State Senator Bob Hall. Let’s Make America Great Again.
