In my stories, I tell a lot about people who are determined not to just try, but to never give up in their "Doing".

 

Being an AmeriCAN, 'not an Americant' is quite impressive and we must all be AmeriCANs if our nation is to survive.

 

But this particular story tells us about a man, Charles Lindberg, who was not just striving to just do something that no other had ever done, but those before who had failed and died trying. 

 

So, let us see what AmeriCAN Charles Lindberg did.

Along with today's Feature I ask this question:

 

"Are we all responsible to help each other here in America, or do we just stand by with our cameras waiting for the Police to arrive?

 

What do you think?

 

Let's Keep Praying!

It's another warm one in Texas - hope your own local weather is doing well for you.

 

Our Story this week is not necessarily one that you haven't heard before, but the details of just what happened there are not always so clear.

 

It's the story of what I call "The Most Famous Tea Party in Our History". We have all come to know it as "The Boston Tea Party".

 

As you listen to this "Party Story" you will see just how close this event was to the passing date of our Declaration of Independence, and that one of our "Sayings" today, "No taxation without Representation", began in this event.

 

Please make sure that your listeners don't miss this story which was a great part in getting us on our way to our "Freedom Declaration"

What many people don't know is that Abraham Lincoln was not the first attempted Presidential assassination.  Of course, we all know that he did not survive the shooting, but there was another attempt on a president's life and his name was Andrew Jackson.  This story has two very odd parts - 1) The assination was attempted, but he was not shot and 2) The court's decision from this clear murderest attempt was not what anyone thought the decision would be. 

 

Listen to this story and learn what is still being used today.

This "You Are There" is about remembering and honoring our veterans who fought to keep us free and safe.

 

We need to remember why we have a Memorial Day and not treat it as a day to shop for great deals, but to talk to families that lost that loved one fighting for our country.

To be a hero you don't necessarily have to save someone from a burning building, or jump into freezing water to save someone from drowning - we are told in Webster's Dictionary what the true hero can be.

 

Listen and remember and honor those who have given their last full measure of devotion in war for our America.

This is the true story of one of the most dramatic efforts to burn our U.S. Flag in front of 10's of thousands of people and on television. 

 

Some believe that our flag is just a piece of cloth.  But just like our Bible, it's just not paper writings, it is a powerful picture of what we must know about our country and our American Flag, the red for sacrifice, the white for seeking purity as a nation and a people, and blue to remind us that our powerful help comes from Almighty God.

 

This is a great story, and make sure to listen to the end to see what the crowd did after the flag was saved.

The truth is this, we all have something to give and each of us is an important part of God's Plan for our country.  The story today is about doing.

Today, all around the world people believe that one of the largest ship wrecks ever was the Titanic.  But did you know that in April of 1865, there was a shipwreck that killed more people than the Titanic and it happened on the Mississippi River in the U.S. 

 

And, there were more passengers killed than the Titanic.  

 

Listen, learn, enjoy!
