Battle
Sam HoustonWhen I look at the history of Texas, I’m amazed. The slaughter at the Alamo lead to victory at San Jacinto. Texans were running away in what was called the Runaway Scrape. The Texan army commanded by Sam Houston was small in comparison to Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna’s army. Mexican arrogance won the battle for the Texans. Sam Houston was concerned that his own army would run from the battle, like they had done previously. To ensure that would not happen Sam Houston had brought his army to a place of no escape. Trapped in by two rivers, Sam Houston had the bridge burned and planned his attack. Santa Anna knew that the Texans were trapped and planned to attack, but he and his army would siesta first.
Sam Houston attacked and the rest is history. I believe God will lead us to a place of no escape and the defeat the enemy by our desperation of survival. They shouted, “Remember the Alamo”. We should shout, “Remember the cross”.

I have heard that if there had been a back door in the Alamo, Texas would belong to Mexico.
^^ I’m sure that’s true. lol
That’s your point right? thanks for the morning thought. Ang
I see. I live here and we had Texas History in high school. Bible class was in the public schools also but that was in the 1960′s and it was an elective.
Lead the Way Jesus!
Have A Happy Week!

Indeed….every day we need to shout…Remember the Cross!! The only thing that makes life worth living!!
Yeah, i could never understand the people i took care of, In the way that they were willing to sacrifice the ones they love. But its a all consuming attack on their self control. I believe without faith in Jesus Christ they will never be free of it! People are willing to sell their children to get high….Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is more deceitful above all things and desperately wicked;who can know it? Have a great week,-)

so true. it seems sometimes pharoah is hot on our trail while we are staring at a red sea. God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we are able to ask or think
