Earlier this month, I was elected to my church’s Board of Trustees….
…A week later, I was invited to a new critique group….

People keep giving me opportunities. And that feeling that it’s all undeserved? Still it remains.
“Remember the Alamo” has two primary connotations, depending on the audience. It’s either a jingoistic rallying cry, a justification for the incursion of white settlers into Spanish-held territory. Or, if you’re a certain kind of Texan, it’s a reminder of the nobility of sacrifice, when things are worth fighting for.
Not being Texan myself, nor a believer in the peculiarly American kind of Manifest Destiny, I fall into the former category.
