Welcome to Episode 57 – The Civil War starts and Texans Start Killing Each Other In the previous episode I talked about the path to secession. How Texas called a convention to consider the issue and how, even though some resisted the whole idea, it still went through. In fact, President Lincoln did tell then Governor Sam Houston that if he wanted to resist the convention, then Lincoln would be willing to send in Federal troops. However, Houston rejected that idea because he did not want to turn what was already a tense situation into an outright violent conflict among Texas citizens. Remember that during the convention, the Civil War Committees of Public Safety was formed. Even though secession had not formerly been approved by the rest of the citizens, the committee started to negotiate with Maj. Gen. David E. Twiggs, who was the commander of United States troops stationed in Texas. Twiggs, originally from Georgia was in poor health and at the end of his career. On the morning of February 16, Benjamin McCulloch, a veteran Texas Ranger and Mexican War hero, led a force of about 500 volunteers into San Antonio. Once there, they surrounded the garrison at their headquarters and demanded Twiggs surrender. Twiggs did not put up any resistance and readily agreed to the surrender of all federal property in Texas. He also agreed to evacuate all 2,700 Union troops that were stationed in the various frontier forts. This resulted in Camp Charlotte, Camp Colorado, Camp Cooper, Camp Davis, Camp Del Rio, Camp Montel, Camp San Saba, and Camp Verde all becoming forts for Texas Confederates. It's important to remember that even though a significant majority of Texans approved of the efforts of Texas politicians to support and join the Confederacy there were Texans who were loyal to the Union. After all, more than 14,000 Texans voted against secession. Who were those opposed? Members of various political parties including the Whigs, Know-Nothings, Democrats, and others all maintained some degree of support for the Union. Texas had also seen a very steady stream of German immigrants and from those who originated in the northern (or free) states. These were people who were inclined to support the union. In fact, as 1860 came to a close German immigrants who lived in the Fredericksburg and New Braunfels areas formed the Union Loyalty League. To become a member a person had to swear loyalty to the United States, of course, over the next several years members of the league faced violent reprisals from Confederate sympathizers. In 1862 then Governor Lubbock declared martial law for several counties in the Hill Country (which is where this program originates from and where my ancestors settled) and the confederate legislature passed the Confederate Conscription Act that specifically targeted German Unionists. These actions had the effect of increasing desertions and draft dodging as people did their best to get out of the confederate army. While some German immigrants from the Austin County region did join up and helped to form three companies of Waul's Texas Legion, once they were captured at the battle of Vicksburg, they quickly took the oath of allegiance to the United States. However, certain of the early Texas Union supporters such as James W. Throckmorton (I spoke about him in the previous episode), and Ben H. Epperson, who was once one of the leaders of those in East Texas who opposed secession, did in fact accept and endorse the Confederacy after Fort Sumter. Others, such as David G. Burnet, E. M. Pease, and Sam Houston, rather than stay in the public eye, withdrew from public life and did their best to avoid controversy. Some of those opposed to secession either left the state or tried to leave. There were some, such as S. M. Swenson, the man who led or started the immigration of Swedes to Texas and William Marsh Rice, who came to Texas from Massachusetts and who made a fortune in the mercantile busi...

Thanks to everyone who read my article “Things I would say to my younger self” (or listened to the podcast, “4-minute Devotions – the Podcast”)Many of you have written back to say what you would say to that younger version of you, if you had the chance. There were so many good responses. Here are some of the ones that stood out for me.First, a few made me laugh: “Just dance” quipped Gennie from Angeles City, Philippines while Brian from Northampton, UK expressed what might have been a recent regret, plaintively writing, “Don't dispose of or delete any notes/assignments, essays, sermon notes, or any similar material when you retire or move house.” I've been there, brother, message received! Yvette must have been emerging from a full-on morning of school run chaos when she typed, “Four kids is too many kids!!” (she wrote to me later to tell me how much she loves each one of them).There were some who felt they would not send any message to their younger self, reminding us that it is often in the most difficult times when we don't know what to do, that we learn to seek God's wisdom and trust in His sovereignty. Receiving a message from the future with detailed instructions of how to survive the crisis would deny us the opportunity to experience the Lords leading and faithfulness. An excellent point of course, but, for the rest of us who didn't think of that: “It's never too late to repent, and it's never too late to admit that our ideas and plans and schemes get ahead of God's will in our lives sometimes. Stop – Pray - Be still - go to the Word of God and wait for the leading of the Holy Spirit. Read the Word and then Do It!”, said Dave from Springfield, Tennessee Steve (from Camp Verde in Arizona) had a list:· Don't be so lazy. You have potential use it.· Be more disciplined.· Listen to God's call when He calls you the first time.· Your parents have been where you are, listen to them. Like God, they want what's best for you. Vernon from Ansbach, Germany (Deutschland) had a longer list:o Life is very brief, regardless of how long you live.o Every moment of life is a precious gift. Don't squander the gift of life.o Older people might look different, but they think and feel much the same way as you do.o Find a spiritual discipline that is meaningful and relevant to you. Practice it daily.o Seek opportunities to spend time with the dying and terminally ill. They have much to teach you.o When you make a mistake or hurt another person, apologise, and say, "I'm sorry."o Avoid intoxicants. They numb your spiritual awareness.o Remember that everyone you meet is carrying one or more heavy burdens.o Anger is usually caused by fear.o Tell the people you love that you love them. Clive from Newry, Northern Ireland would tell his younger self to “read more, think more, love more, believe more, question everyone and everything more. But most of all, play more!” And David from St Austell in the UK would want the one who trod the paths before him to “take more calculated risks”.Thanks to all who contributed, Sorry I couldn't include everybody's. But let me finish by stating the obvious: we cannot change the past. We can, however, “Listen to advice and accept discipline, and at the end you will be counted among the wise” (Prov 19: 20)

In episode 89, we take two-day trips from Sedona, Arizona. This is part three of a series of podcasts recapping our travels to Camp Verde, Sedona, and nearby places in Arizona. Day Trips From Sedona We had two main destinations outside of Sedona during our travel to the area - Jerome Arizona and the Grand Canyon. Jerome Arizona Day Trip We booked the Jerome History Walk tour with the Jerome Ghost Tours company. The small group tour explored the once-booming mining history of the area, visiting key locations in town. We loved listening to stories about the old mining town, saloon escapes, and the rise and decline of Jerome. Book a Jerome History Walk Tour Here When in Jerome, we highly recommend The Clinkscale for dining. Our lunch there was fantastic! We started our day attending church at St. Cecilia Catholic Church in nearby Clarkdale, Arizona. After mass, we strolled the town, which offered a wonderful small-town America feel. Grand Canyon Railway Tour Our next day trip adventure was riding about The Grand Canyon Railway from Williams, AZ, to the Grand Canyon Village.

Face aux pénuries d'eau du fleuve Colorado, les agriculteurs du sud-ouest des États-Unis doivent mettre en place de nouvelles stratégies pour aller au bout des récoltes et pérenniser leurs cultures. C'est ça l'Amérique, saison 2 - Colorado, le fleuve qui refuse de mourir, épisode 4/8. Les fermiers du sud-ouest des États-Unis nourrissent le reste du pays avec fierté depuis des générations. Cette tâche leur serait impossible sans la présence du fleuve Colorado, dont 80 % de l'eau est utilisée par le secteur agricole. En parcourant le fleuve, on entend souvent dire que les agriculteurs sont en grande partie responsables de la crise de l'eau. Ils ne seraient pas prêts à changer leurs méthodes de production. Mais qu'en est-il réellement sur le terrain ? Dans ce 4e épisode, Alexis Buisson, le correspondant de La Croix aux États-Unis, s'éloigne du fleuve pour s'enfoncer dans les terres et se concentrer sur les affluents. Direction, le comté rural de Pinal, en Arizona, l'un des plus touchés par la déclaration de pénurie de 2021. Plus au nord, dans la petite ville de Camp Verde, agriculteurs, entrepreneurs et associations s'unissent pour préserver l'eau en faisant des paris parfois audacieux… Que se passe-t-il quand l'un des plus grands cours d'eau des États-Unis disparaît ? Quelles sont les conséquences économiques, sociales, environnementales et politiques de cet assèchement ? Est-il possible de sauver un fleuve de cette envergure ? Au cours d'un road trip sonore, Alexis va à la rencontre d'élus, d'entrepreneurs, de citoyens, de militants écologistes, de tribus amérindiennes et de scientifiques pour trouver les réponses à ces questions. Retrouvez un nouvel épisode chaque vendredi, tout l'été. Colorado, le fleuve qui refuse de mourir est une nouvelle saison de "C'est ça l'Amérique", un podcast proposé par La Croix, en partenariat avec le site d'information des Français des États-Unis, French Morning, et le programme universitaire Alliance (Columbia University, École polytechnique, Sciences Po, Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne). Écoutez la première saison de C'est ça l'Amérique, sur la politique et la démocratie américaine. --- CREDITS / Écriture et réalisation : Alexis Buisson. Rédaction en chef : Fabienne Lemahieu.

“You know you are truly alive when you’re living among lions.” ― Isak Dinesen, Out Of Africa. Dean and Prayeri Harrison, founders of Out Of Africa wildlife park in Camp Verde, AZ are examples of what it means to be truly alive. There is truly something unique and refreshing about the way they approach this life. The idea that we live in world dictated by the laws of nature and not of man is evident in how they interact with all the animals on site. It's truly fascinating and something that must been seen and experienced to believe the connection they have with the animals. We had the great joy of experiencing the VIP - Behind the scenes tour guided by Dean himself. It’s truly the best way to get the full experience of the park. We recorded over 3 hours of content on site but due to audio quality and other issues were limited in what we could bring to the episode. Out of Africa is not another zoo where you simply stroll around the park and stare at animals in their habitats rather its a place where you can truly interact and experience the animals. Located an hour north of the Phoenix valley its a quick trip and an experience that you will remember for your lifetime. Make sure to visit and say hi to our friend Pilgrim the Giraffe. If he likes you as much as he did Rob he may just give you a sloppy wet kiss. Special Guest: Dean Harrison.

I know that this may come as a shock to many people but water in the desert is not exactly abundant. I know, crazy talk. But its true. And thankfully we have guys like Chip Norton who are taking strides to ensure the proper steps are being taken to keep the natural water flowing. Oh yeah, and Chip loves beer. His desire to conserve the Verde River and his love of craft beer led him to get together with some like minded individuals and start Sinagua Malt. The purpose of Sinagua Malt is to help preserve the Verde River flow but an amazing byproduct of this is that Arizona breweries can now have access to Arizona-grown malt for their beers. Although they just started a couple of years ago and aren't even running at full capacity they are already seeing a major increase in the flow of the Verde River. In this episode we travel up to Camp Verde to hang out with Chip and hear the story behind Sinagua Malt. Enjoy the show!

The RunRunLive 4.0 Podcast Episode 4-340 – Becca Pizzi – 7 marathons, 7 continents, 7 days (Audio: link) [audio:http://www.RunRunLive.com/PodcastEpisodes/epi4340.mp3] Link MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks - Hello my friends and welcome to episode 4-340 of the RunRunLive Podcast. It's Memorial Day Weekend this weekend in the States! It's officially summer! Wow! I had a May to remember! I'm telling you, you will never hear me say “I'm overwhelmed” but these past weeks came close! I was back down in Atlanta this week and I caught some sort of stomach bug for a few days that sapped my energy – but this morning – Friday – I feel great! Let me summarize my May adventures for you… Came in Friday night from Atlanta. Was the second trip of the week having been in New Orleans earlier. Rented a car and drove up to Teresa's graduation Saturday night for all day Sunday. Packed her up and drove back Sunday night. About 500 miles each way. Repacked and headed out to Phoenix Monday, took Teresa with me. Had a conference at the JW Desert Inn Tuesday and Wednesday – Up at 7:00 AM east coast time, (4:00 AM local time) for calls, in the conference all day, getting my workouts in. Meanwhile she slept late and floated around in the pool. Grabbed a rental car Wednesday night and headed up to Flagstaff. Crashed out for the night, up early, drive up to the Canyon. Into the trail head at Bright Angel by 7:00 AM – Down to Phantom Ranch in about 3 ½ hours, turn around and push back up and out in around 8 ½ - 9 hours. Jumped in the car and drove to Sedona for dinner and crashed. Up Friday morning for 7:00 AM east coast (4AM local time) for 3 hours of calls. Breakfast, short trail hike up Oak Creek, some yoga to loosen the creeky bodies up, shower and off again. Sightseeing around Camp Verde and Montezuma's Castle, an early barbeque dinner and off to the airport for a 10:30 redeye back to Boston Saturday morning. Back on a plane Monday morning to Atlanta, suffered with a sore tummy and no energy all week. And now it's Memorial Day weekend! Made it! Didn't drop too many things in the process except sleep, health most of my RunRunLive ToDo list. That's why this show is all me! Didn't have time to get any outside editing as I fell behind on my production schedule. Did I mention you people are great? Did I mention I had a crazy spring? But – as crazy as all that sounds, my life is nothing compared to what our guest today did. Becca Pizzi was the first American woman to do the 7 marathons on 7 continents in 7 days last year and we have a great conversation about it. I'm going to give you the Becca interview right up front and then give you my overly-long Grand Canyon adventure summary. I'll leave it at that because I don't want to go over my time limit again! Our Grand Canyon experience was pretty tough and totally cool. I'm so happy I was able to spend these days doing something interesting and worthy with my baby! We had a blast. I'm fun to travel with because I'm a 30 year travel veteran. I have status and get treated really well. This gives me a certain chill fluidity in the chaos of the travel world. I just skate right through like a ghost, having a grand old time. … The RunRunLive podcast is Ad Free and listener supported.

Section one - Voices of reason – the conversation Becca Pizzi – 7 marathons, 7 continents, 7 days… Running is in my DNA. My Dad is a runner and inspired me to start running when I was a 6 years old. I ran my first race when I was 7 . I have never stopped, competing through college and running 44 marathons, including 15 Boston Marathons, qualifying for all of them and marathons in 24 USA states. I love running and share my passion with others, volunteering as a coach, coaching with Team In Training and Boston Fit, I'm a pace setter for Beast Pacing. I am an ambassador for Orange Mud trail running gear. Running permeates every aspect of my life - I'm a Mom… my daughter is seven and ran her first race in 2014. I'm a sister…my twin sisters are also accomplished runners. I'm a Bostonian…I have run 15 Boston marathons and wont ever stop. I'm a friend…I have built lifelong friendship over miles of training. I'm a business owner… I own a day care and manage an ice cream shop, both in my hometown Belmont MA!! I'm every runner…a real person that faces the challenges of everyday life, while making time for my the sport that I am so passionate about. When I learned about the World Marathon Challenge, I immediately wanted to compete in this event in 2016. This event is 7 marathons, 7 days, 7 continents. The physical and mental demands of this race will be an awesome test of endurance. I will be the first American woman to complete the challenge and attempt to break women's record time of 40:22:25. The race director, Richard Donovan accepted my application and saved me a spot while I get organized! This race and representing USA as the first American female runner to run this, means everything to me. But above all, I am doing this to inspire people! I have the drive to complete this race, and I have the best resources in the world (cardiologist, nutritionist, coaches etc). It would be incredible to have you support me on this journey in which I have already been training for since January. I am committed to giving 200 percent. It would be my honor to represent the USA and become the first American female to run this race. Thank you to my friends who have heard me talk about this race for countless hours and to Joe and my family, this would not be possible without your support. Im truly very lucky to have so much love in my life. This is for my daughter Taylor told me I can so this, so it must be true. Section two Grand Canyon- In and Out in a Day - Outro Well my friends that's it – you may have been listening to 7 podcasts in 7 days on 7 continents but you have finished episode 4-340 of the RunRunLive Podcast. It's getting hot up here in New England. Summer has arrived. Buddy the old wonder dog has a full thick coat of black fur and isn't really designed for the heat. He's not running much anymore. The girls take him for walks in the woods and I bring him for the first 20 minute loop if I'm doing a slow trail run in the woods. He gets out on the weekends with me to run errands and visit. He gets a lot of cuddling with the girls at night when they force him to sit with them on the couch while they watch TV. But, his distance running career is pretty much over. His hips hurt him too much for the long stuff and he never liked to run in the heat. I can still remember him running all those miles with me that summer I trained for the Vermont 50. Buddy has a big heart. He's a good dog. I'll have to work in some swimming trips down to the pond for him this summer. I have to tell you that I'm pretty beat up this week. I flew down to Atlanta as scheduled on Monday but have felt awful all week. I've got a sore stomach for some reason and have been really low energy. Some sort of stomach bug taking advantage of my biome being weak from the antibiotics onslaught a couple weeks ago. All of this travel and weirdness makes working out a challenge. I was in such good shape for Boston and I feel like I've lost a lot of that. I'm definitely not going to run the Vermont marathon on Memorial Day. I'm instead going shift my training to focus on the Spartan Race at the end of July. I've been looking into it and I do believe I'm in for a ‘learning experience'. I was a wrestler in high school but it's been a long time since I've been in that kind of ‘total body' shape. The first couple workouts have been comically challenging for me as I try to do just one chin up. But, that's why we do these things, to learn something new and to be challenged. I've been doing some research on the obstacles in the race and I think I can simulate some of them. There's a lot of climbing, carrying, crawling and even some throwing. And hundreds of burpees – which we used to call squat thrusts. It's like boot camp. Should be fun. … I'm burnt out. With the travel, the pneumonia, the canyon and now some sort of stomach bug I'm feeling like I need to lay down for a couple days. But, I won't. These kind of challenges are part of life. They are temporary setbacks. It's important to position them in your plans as temporary setbacks. There are small setbacks like these and big setbacks. You can't use them as excuses to turn away from your course. The danger when you give in to setbacks is that it permanently changes your path. When you let those setbacks dictate to you what you can do it changes your velocity and your direction. There are always going to be setbacks and challenges and they are always going to be poorly timed, inconvenient and unwanted. You have to accept that they are part of life. You keep moving and do what you can to recover and continue on your path. That's grit, when you keep going even when it sucks. If you keep moving, keep pushing, hold your course eventually the universe will bend back around to meet you in success. So keep pushing – and I'll see you out there.

It’s Memorial Day Weekend this weekend in the States! It’s officially summer! Wow! I had a May to remember! I’m telling you, you will never hear me say “I’m overwhelmed” but these past weeks came close! I was back down in Atlanta this week and I caught some sort of stomach bug for a few days that sapped my energy – but this morning – Friday – I feel great! Let me summarize my May adventures for you… Came in Friday night from Atlanta. Was the second trip of the week having been in New Orleans earlier. Rented a car and drove up to Teresa’s graduation Saturday night for all day Sunday. Packed her up and drove back Sunday night. About 500 miles each way. Repacked and headed out to Phoenix Monday, took Teresa with me. Had a conference at the JW Desert Inn Tuesday and Wednesday – Up at 7:00 AM east coast time, (4:00 AM local time) for calls, in the conference all day, getting my workouts in. Meanwhile she slept late and floated around in the pool. Grabbed a rental car Wednesday night and headed up to Flagstaff. Crashed out for the night, up early, drive up to the Canyon. Into the trail head at Bright Angel by 7:00 AM – Down to Phantom Ranch in about 3 ½ hours, turn around and push back up and out in around 8 ½ - 9 hours. Jumped in the car and drove to Sedona for dinner and crashed. Up Friday morning for 7:00 AM east coast (4AM local time) for 3 hours of calls. Breakfast, short trail hike up Oak Creek, some yoga to loosen the creeky bodies up, shower and off again. Sightseeing around Camp Verde and Montezuma’s Castle, an early barbeque dinner and off to the airport for a 10:30 redeye back to Boston Saturday morning. Back on a plane Monday morning to Atlanta, suffered with a sore tummy and no energy all week. And now it’s Memorial Day weekend! Made it! Didn’t drop too many things in the process except sleep, health most of my RunRunLive ToDo list. That’s why this show is all me! Didn’t have time to get any outside editing as I fell behind on my production schedule. Did I mention you people are great? Did I mention I had a crazy spring? But – as crazy as all that sounds, my life is nothing compared to what our guest today did.

Starting in 1855, the U.S. Army experimented with camels as pack animals in the arid plains and hills of West Texas. While the evaluations seemed to go well, eventually the whole idea was abandoned and the U.S. Camel Corps became a footnote in the history of the Lone Star State.
