I Will Never Forget

 

A very special song from a very special young lady 

I will never forget. In all my seventy-three years nothing has affected me as much as the floods of Mystic on July 4, 2025. Nothing can compare to the sounds of screams of little girls as they were aroused from their beds at 3 AM that night. And my eyes will never dry.

While most people recoiled in horror the news services did what they always do. They reported. Then they gave their opinion. Place blame. Blame the emergency services. Blame the director of Mystic. Blame Trump. And then blame God. Well, God was there for them that night. Where were you?

Bad things happen to good people, and who can be better than a little girl at a church camp. Spending the afternoon canoeing on the very river that would come for them that night. And they answered the call and said “Goodbye” to mommy and daddy. They took their place in history and in our hearts as only little girls can do because only the purest of hearts can take Jesus’s hand without hesitation.

And the responders. They knew there was little or no hope of finding a six-year-old little girl after a flash flood washed her from the very bed that she was sleeping in as the entire building rushed down the roaring torrent, but by God they were going to find them and they were going to bring them home!

And the world moveed on. But I didn’t. Witt &Wittier Films is a Faith Based company. When the world hears those words, it thinks that we are just another Bible thumping bunch of religious nuts from Texas, but couldn’t be further wrong! From Kielia finding Christ in her time portal, to Ashley Johnson welcoming Jesus at the Second Coming at Immigration Pass in Utah to Karly’s swift justice upon traffickers, we speak to the kids, and those kids baptized us in fire the night of July 4!

Even as I write this, my glasses continue to fog up from the tears, and I’m forced to stop, wipe my eyes, gather myself, and continue. I can see them standing all about me. And for all the books, songs, and articles that I have written I know that I have to do this one thing just right because I’m not worthy to undo the laces of their boots.  Men are always looking for “The love of their life.” Well, I have twenty-seven! The purest, sweetest little ladies who ever ate ice cream at Dairy Queen. Thank you, Lord, for allowing me to play a small part of sharing their story, but I will never forget.

    The good news is most of not all are now being comforted by their heavenly father. Those of us that remain don’t have all the answers, but we do have to deal with the pain. I pray the comforter be with you

      This has profoundly affected me. Not in depression. In determination. Don’t fall in the ugly night of death, rise in the celebration of life. These girls did more in their short lives than I will ever do.

Don’t Stand So Close to Me

    This is the Evil that has taken over our Texas School Systems. Texas has been facing a serious crisis regarding child sexual abuse in schools, with thousands of allegations against educators. Here are some key findings: 52,782 complaints were recorded against Texas educators between 2021 and 2024. 6,888 cases of sexual and violent misconduct by public school employees were reported, with 6,654 left unresolved. 44,349 educators were flagged as “do not hire” due to misconduct, yet enforcement actions remain inconsistent. 38,778 abuse cases were reported statewide, but no formal investigation was opened in response to any of them. Additionally, a report titled “State-Sponsored Child Abuse” revealed that 61% of misconduct reports were not investigated by the Texas Education Agency. Child sexual abuse in schools is a serious issue, and statistics reveal alarming trends: Prevalence: Studies indicate that 1 in 5 girls and 1 in 20 boys experience child sexual abuse. Many cases go ...

Hell is not Hot Enough

from: Kriss Odom 🚨*Graphic Content Warning  Wesley Davis has been charged with murder in the First Degree. No mother should have to hold her child as she is hooked up to machines that are tracking her last breaths. Ava Anne Marie Tabor was taken from this world. She didn’t lose her life, her life was taken from her, in the most vicious and cruel way.  Wesley Davis was watching Ava when she “wasn’t listening” as he stated, and he began to attack her. Yes you read that correctly. He lifted her frail 2 year old body up and threw her around the room for 30 minutes straight. Slamming her against walls, furniture, and anything else in sight. For 30 minutes she was brutally attacked by this animal. For 30 minutes she lived in pure pain and agony at the hands of this subhuman monster.  Ava’s body was covered in bruises, head to toe, her brain received so much trauma it bled on itself to a point that mimicked a massive stroke. Her brain died due to the amount of bleeding the trau...

Money For Nothing

      Did you think MAGA would just go away? Did the carefully constructed articles and main stream news spots make you believe that LBTGQ was 85% of the population? Did you concern yourself about which pronoun is correct when addressing a child? Congratulations! You will not leave anything of lasting value when your family drops you off at the graveyard!   All hit records have a meteoric rise. “ Money For Nothing ” sprang out of nowhere and within a week my own sister asked me if I’d heard that song and I knew exactly which song she was talking about. With his bare feet and truncated guitar style, Mark Knopfler cemented a melody into the public consciousness that would make Mozart roll over in his grave if it weren’t so overcrowded. Now, decades later, my grandchildren have never heard the song.   So what makes some ideas, movements, or sometimes simple statements survive the test of time while others become difficult to recall in less than a generation? And i...
