Memories Of Mary E. Stanton

Memories Of Mary E. Stanton

I was born in Denton County, Texas, July 6, 1873. I moved with my parents to the Indian Territory in 1889. There were three families and three wagons in our caravan. I was in high school when I left Texas and how I wept when I had to leave my friends and come to such a wild country. The parents of the boy I married came as we did, so I soon became reconciled. We camped at Thackerville the first night in the Territory. We crossed Red River on a flat boat at Thacker’s Ferry. We were all afraid of the Indians and none of us slept much that night.

Biden’s Destructive First Year

Biden’s Destructive First Year

At the beginning of 2021, President Joe Biden entered office as the 46th President of the United States promising to usher in hope, bipartisanship and to rebuild our country after the coronavirus pandemic. However, his first year has unfortunately been fixated on partisan, out-of-touch polices that have triggered several converging crises nationwide. Sadly, President Biden has managed to push our nation into a worse place than it was before.

Toby Dawn’s Merry Winter Break

When I arrived home recently to discover a large red-headed man in a Santa hat writing Grynch in my driveway with a charcoal briquette, I choked up a little bit because every year, my lifelong friend and childhood hero, Toby Dawn McIntyre, castigates me about canceling Christmas. It’s our sweet little Christmas tradition, and it always makes me a bit sentimental. The holidays just aren’t official until someone puts a lump of coal in my stocking about the whole Christmas versus Winter Break issue, so I am glad it was jolly old Toby Dawn. This mean superintendent’s heart grew two sizes just at the sight of his charcoal smudged face.

Gifts of Hope and Freedom

The month of December is marked by many holiday traditions celebrated by Americans across different backgrounds and faiths. During this Christmas and throughout this wonderful season, I am reflecting not only on the miracle and joy of the Savior’s birth thousands of years ago but on the blessed gifts of hope and freedom we share as Americans.
