Wow!! It has been a whole month since my last great soliloquy of East Texas musings. I told yall I am horrible at this whole bloggin thang lol But the good part is that I have a lot of info to share to my loyal and probably exasperated followers :):):):)
First order of bizness, Youth Camp. My goodness!!!!! Wow! Although only my second one, for me it was better than last year. Bro J. Dudley did a fantastic job of preaching. He walked in the Holy Ghost every single night. And Bro Rodgers was excellent in sharing the burden of this years theme. Laborers Together. Such a thought provoking and soul searching theme. All of our Rec activities were geared towards teamwork. Human Bridges, Toothpick Towers, Basketball, and Baseball. All teaching the value of teamwork and how that no one person can truly succeed alone. We need each other to strengthen ourselves.... As always there is a great emphasis on outreach and evangelism. It ties into the theme, in that not only for teamwork and support, but ultimately for The Great Commission. We are Laborers Together in the harvest fields of lost souls. I love the emphasis on soul winning and outreach. It is something that in these last days we need to strive to make it our way of life as Apostolics. Youth Camp does a great job of strengthening this within our hearts.... Thank you to the awesome people of Tulsa Lighthouse Church for putting this meeting together and allowing me and my Youth Group to be a part of it all. I was impacted by this Youth Camp in such a special way. I needed its strengthening more than anything and in a very important way. It came at the absolute best time. Being together with my old friends and strengthening those ties even more.... To know you have friends that are there for you and will always be there for you... That is a feeling indescribable.
Next....(drum-roll)..... My lovely Princess Brittany came to see me, and my family too I guess. Oh, I guess it was few weeks ago. And what a time we had!!!!!!!! Now unfortunately, for my Princess and I anyways, I had to work my normal off-days. Sooooooo, we really didnt have much time together during the day, but we went to church together those days. Because at the same time, we were in revival with the Zach Brown family, and Mr. Brantley :) So, I got to go to church two nights in a row with my girl. Now, that to me is a cool thing. Because I admire her love for Truth, God, and His Kingdom. She is a true Apostolic lady, and she loves church. So, I was honored to be able to take my girl to church. And, strangely enough, she loves my small-town Atlanta church. And, she loves Atlanta.... Soooooooo, Id say that is good news for me :) As for me, I just want her to be happy. Gods Will for my life and my future and His Will for us is Number One. Period. No Questions. Always. But after that, I want her to be happy. I truly do. I will always strive for that. She knows that too, by the way :):) BUT, we still had a wonderful time together, as we always do. Two young people in the throes of a happy and Godly relationship together, what else is there but good times??????
Then, Summer Heritage.... which I missed because I gladly chose Youth Camp over Heritage. Although, I do miss Heritage. Seeing old friends and making new ones. Alas, one can only do what one can.
Ditto, for ADMIT as well. Again work kept me from it this year. Super bummed out, but there is always the years ahead....
Lastly, was this past weekend. Much to the puzzlement, chagrin, astonishment, and outright admiration of Bro Doug Howard, I eluded his contingent of Border Patrolmen with my world-stopping and mind-dazzling Ninja skills and made it to Tulsa. Once there I made my way to the home of my gorgeous Lady, Brittany Lyn. This little lady had a spread laid out for me.. Sweet N Sour Chicken, Fried Rice, and Stir Fry Veggies. AND, a sinfully delicious Oreo Cheesecake.....Wow! She is an amazing young lady and an AWESOME cook. Seriously folks, Brittany can tear it up in the kitchen. So, Wednesday we left to go to Pops. As previously posted by Miss Brittany on her blog, it is a gas station/restaurant/coke bottle extravaganza. Really good food and every flavor you could want. FYI, if you look at the front..... You see the shelves of bottles.... I counted the bottles. Because Im OCD like that, dont judge. There are a little over 4500 bottles total. 4,513 if I remember exactly. Thats a lot of bottles.. and that is just the front. There are more at the back. Enyhoo, I had a wonderful time with my Princess and her folks. We went to a barn next. Its old...and big...aaaaand round. Something to do with Route 66 I believe. Not sure.
Then, it was church time. Eld. Howard preached a stirring and soul-searching message of outreach and revival. "The Final Harvest" Wow! Phenomenal job. And then it was Thursday.......... We went to visit The Daniel Copeland Family. Unfortunately, Mr Dan Cope wasn't available so Miss Brittany and I had to do our best to make a dent in the delicious Chicken Spaghetti, Corn, and Homemade Rolls that Mrs. Tasha Copeland had so kindly prepared for us. Oh, and the homemade Chocolate Cake. I left quite full, needless to say. And then, because all good times come to an end, I had to say my goodbyes to Little Miss Noelle, Tasha, and my pretty Lady Brittany. Saying goodbye is always hard, but this time.... It was really hard. I kinda, sorta, a whole lot, didn't want to leave. Being away from my girl is very hard. But, the distance teaches one important things. It teaches the value and importance of quality time together. It makes you value and cherish every moment that you have together. Even the little moments that dont seem to make a difference. But it is the small moments and little things that make the biggest memories. And yes, if you ever wanted to know if it is really true, absence most definitely makes the heart grow fonder. Exponentially so. I am so thankful to God for bringing this wonderful young lady into my life. God has given me a blessing I could never repay. I just hope I can be as sweet to her as she is to me......
And that wraps up the updates for this segment. Nothing else has happened yet, and I refuse to acknowledge College starting back up. But, it is inevitable I suppose. Thanks, to the Copeland Family for being so kind as to allow me to stay with them. Thanks, to Eld. Howard for allowing me to continue my dating excursions to Oklahoma. Thats all folks so tune in for the next installment later...... Stay Calm and Watch Out for Storm Troopers and Wampas.

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nope it aint Christmas, so yall kin all jest calm down. All my money (after tithe and offerings) goes to my sweetheart and Rotert/Lee Campaign Funds. Not random Christmas presents in June.... ITS TIME FOR YOUTH CAMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh yes, it is indeed..... I can hardly wait for tomorrow to get here. Cause, thats when we leave for Henrietta, OK. More specifically Tiger Mountain Retreat. I was actually disappointed that I didnt see any tigers last year. I mean, why name it after tigers if there aint any tigers??? Hmmm.... I'll just have to make some phone calls. I want tigers. Like a whole flock of tigers. Bengal and Siberian. Big ol honking suckers that could shred the skin of you in a New York minute. This is possible....Why hasn't it been done??? Bro Austin Rodgers, I am requesting a flock of tigers this year at Camp. But I digress......
Camp is a wonderful experience, all tiger jokes aside. It was one of the most impactful weeks of my life. The atmosphere of the entire Camp is one of unity. Everyone there is on the same page and there for the same reason. To get away from it all and have awesome church. And awesome doesn't even do it justice, people. All from Tulsa can agree with me when I say that it is an experience that you have to be there to really understand and fully grasp. The services are personal. The moving of God feels like it is just for you. It is so deep and refreshing..... And I still cant do it justice. Absolutely not......It is just amazing. A wonderful experience that any Apostolic young person should get the privilege to enjoy. It will change your life.
For me, another great aspect of Youth Camp is the fact that the Friday of Camp will always mark the anniversary of Miss Brittany Lyn and I officially becoming a dating couple. It was there in a meeting with Eld. Howard, my Pastor, and her parents that Miss Brittany and I received permission to start a 3mnth trial period in which we could communicate back and forth. Then after those three months were up, after talking with my Pastor, Eld. Howard, and her parents, I again recieved permission. This time it was permission to be able to travel to Tulsa to see her and take her out. And oh the joy that has ensued. It has been the most wonderful year ever. Many many memories have been made that will last a lifetime. I cherish every one and will always hold them dear. Now, I have since learned of the hostilities that exist between certain Oklahoma elements and this humble and meek Texan. A particular gentleman, and I wont say Bro Doug Howard's name because I dont want to name folks here, but this particular gentleman has even used the threat of deportation by the Border Patrol to try and deter my harmless romantic activities. Now I didnt take that too seriously. It is funny that one Oklahoma Border Patrol unit would even THINK that they could stop ONE Texan. Laughable. I mean seriously????? It took 1,800 Mexicans to subdue almost 200 Texans. Come on now.... How many Oklahomans would it take for just ONE Texan????? Too many let me tell ya.
He has repeatedly said that he is watching me.... And I believe him. He has connections to powerful people in the Tulsa Church. BUT, Im not worried. Im a Texan. We were born in adversity. We are used to fighting for the priceless and the valuable. For that one cherished thing we hold so dear.
All in all however, he is a fine and upstanding gentleman. One of (if not THE) nicest men you will meet. Has a wonderful sense of humor; he is from Oklahoma so he has to have one. I have enjoyed the privilege of making his acquaintance. Just a great man and an inspiration. If he can ever just get used to the idea of a Texan being respectable :):):) Its all in good fun... I had to give Bro. Doug Howard a shout-out here on my blog.
Wow!!! This has been one random post lol Good Honk! Oh..... One last news item on the docket. I could not forget this one. Nossireebob!!!
I want to wish the most wonderful young lady in all the world a Happy Birthday!!! Happy 21st Birthday to my amazing girl, Miss Brittany Lyn.... may God bless you with many more birthdays in the years to come.. I wish my Girl all the best on this day.
Alrighty then! That is gonna wrap things up here for the time being. Just a little bit of weird randomness from Travis' head today. Hope you at least crack a little bit of a smile with this posting. I hope so...Adios Amigos!!!

The Vice Presidental Candidacy Platform/Introductory Speech
My Fellow Amer'kins,
Troublesome times are indeed here. Mens hearts are filling with fear, and the freedoms we all hold dear are now at stake. Through the abuse of power by certain Democratic persons as yet unnamed, America is quickly an dangerously becoming a Socialist Republic. The Republicans have been uncharacteristically unwilling to make a big deal about our current Regime implementing its own total government control agenda against the will of the People. Im not calling for a Communist "People's Nation" ........Im calling for the old
United States of America. The very one President Abraham Licncoln famously talked about as "that government of the people, by the people, for the people, that shall not perish from the earth." The very same government that defeated, at the time, the most powerful army and the most dangerous navy orf the British Empire, all for the right to be free and independent. The same Nation whose Founding Fathers penned the words, " We the People," fought and died and gave of their lives....How can we as Americans turn our backs on the Principles we fought so long and hard for during the American Revolution, War of 1812 (the War in which Francis Scott Key from the captivity of a British warship penned the Immortal words to our Anthem), the Civil War, WW1, WW2, Korea, Viet Nam, Desert Storm, War in Afghanistan, Operation Iraqi Freedom......
I am a Texan. Our mighty and proud state was forged from the raw wilderness and from the blood of Texas Patriots. Men like Stephen Austin, Lt. Col. William Barrett Travis, Davy Crockett, Jim Bowie, Sam Houston, and many others who gave their lives for a vision of what Texas could and should be. From the bloodstained grounds of the Alamo, to the San Jacinto battlefield, from the "Come and Take It" flag at Gonzales, to the proud patriots at Victoria....We Texans hold freedom and liberty close to our hearts.
How can I, being a Texan with my roots grounded soil stained by the blood of Texas Patriots, stand idly by and watch as power hungry, greedy, lying, Godless politicians drive America into the ground??? I cannot! As Patrick Henry stated so famously," Give Me Liberty, Or Give Me Death!"
Lt. Col. Travis stated at the end of his final letter,"I am determined to sustain myself as long as possible & die like a soldier who never forgets what is due to his own honor & that of his country — Victory or Death." I would bring shame upon the man who is my namesake if I did not speak out against this Tryannical Regime.
I am announcing my candidacy for Vice President of the United States. I will be the running mate of CEO Jeron Rotert, who is running for President. We will stand against this tide of greed, lies, godlessness, and corruption. We will make sure that the voice of the American People does not go unheard. It will resonate from our blogs and wherever we go. Oklahomans and Texans will stand together, we will bring these two states into a force of Conservatism and God-fearing Principles. Your votes and support are needed. All financial support can be sent to our Campaign Headquarters in Tulsa, OK by care of Mr. Rotert. We will not squander your donations....They will go towards building a powerhouse Campaign that will dominate in 2016.
In closing, we as Amer'kins must stand up as we did in the days of old for our Rights, Freedoms, adn Liberties. What happened to those "certain unalienable rights" so eloquently expounded upon by John Locke??? Why stand we here idle?!?!?!?!??? Rise up America!! Take up the Standard of Liberty and Justice!!! We can overcome this onslaught of Socialism and Communism threatening our way of life. Until the Flag of America stops waving, until Lady Liberty stops standing and lowers her torch, until the Liberty Bell no longer tolls for Liberty, until we have no breath in our bodies, until our money runs out.........Jeron and I shall not give up the fight.
Stand Strong Americans!!!!!!!!!

Well........Excuuuuuse Me!!!!!!!
I have just been informed by a NON-FOLLOWER "ACHEM" that I ignored her birthday.......So, even though she is not a Registered Follower, I GUESS I can make an allowance for that fact. So, before she kills me and destroys my very being...I have a Birthday Shout-Out......
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUUUUU!!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOOOO YOUUUUUUU!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MISS LAUREEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNN! HAAAPPY BIRTHDAAAAY TOOOOO YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ( that hurt my throat and fingers lol)
It is apparent that Miss Lauren Bundy has been the recipient of that great and wonderful gift of Birthdays. Well, its the Anniversary of her Birthday....she wasnt born Monday.....that wouldve slightly nauseating and awkward.....she was just.....Never Mind. I know how old she is but its dangerous to tell a females age, so I will let Miss Lauren share that bit of info. When she yelled thru her comment at me, she told me how old she was ....... But I will say she not 15 and she isnt 17 yet.
In the short time I have made her acquaintance, she has become a very cool friend. She is DEFINITELY Trent Bundy's sister. They are like a pair of March Hares. She has always been extremely nice to me and very friendly. She is quite hilarious to be around. At least, in my experience she has been. So, Happy Birthday to Miss Lauren Bundy and Congratulations on How-Ever-Many-Years!!!!!!
FYI, if you want a shout-out for B-Days leave Name, Age at Bday, Date of Bday, Bank Account Number, Social Security Number, and DOB. Jus kidding about the last three ROFL But I will need the first three tho......So send em in. Leave a comment on this post. Oh and also where you are from, if I know you.

What A Time!!!!
Whats crack-a-lakkin blogger Homies !!?!?!? Just had some thoughts run thru my mind, so I tripped them and now I can put em up in CyberSpace for yall......Dont worry they aren't hurt :):):):)
So a quite a few weeks ago, I received an invitation to a Marriage Conference, sponsored by Tulsa Lighthouse Church, in Springdale, AR. Basically, it was a "thats a good idea, now go talk to Pastor Howard about it" setup LOL Thanks, Eld. Baglin. Well, Eld. Howard strongly approved...............So I went. Not really any other way about it when two Elders tell you to do something.
Well, it was indeed a trip to remember. Eld Steve Kelley from Kamiah, Idaho did the teaching for both morning and evening sessions. It was tremendous! I had heard some parts of it from the ADMIT CDs, but still it had a way of being fresh and new. He expounded about discerning spirits to see whether they be of God, refusing the lies that give Satan power over you, not allowing idols in your life, and so much more.....All in context of marriage. I could not do justice to it all in this meager post. No way.....I learned so much and feel like I am better equipped for my future. He is an amazing teacher with an incredible insight into the things of the Spirit. And a great anointed Man of God. Thank you, sir......
An added benefit of the Conference was that I was able to see my beautiful girlfriend, Lady Brittany Copeland. She is something else let me tell you......(take that how you wish). She is a wonderful young Lady. Emphasis on the "Lady." We had some great times and laughs for sure lol Of course with Eld Baglin in form, laughter will ensue immediately. Trust me on that...We ate at the famous AQ Chicken House in Springdale. It was phenomenal!
Also, I had the honor of formally meeting Eld. Steve Kelley. Admittedly I was a little bit...uhhhh...nervous shall we say. But, Eld Kelley is an extremely nice man. Very down to earth and friendly. I, obviously, knew who he was, and because I have a Father, Uncle, and a Grandfather in the Ministry, had seen him at various meetings. Never actually introduced to each other though. But, it was indeed an honor to make his acquaintance. Which leads me to another thought I've been thinking of....
I am so blessed to be an Apostolic. More specifically, an Apostolic Preacher's Kid. Now, I must say that it is a life that few could handle. The pressures, scrutiny, preconceived notions of behavior, conduct, and attitude are ENORMOUS. You live in a glass house. People hold you to a higher, if sometimes unfair, standard. Is that right?? I dont know, but it is something that we must bear. For better or worse....
But, the benefits FAR outweigh the negatives. As a result of being a "PK," I have had opportunities that otherwise would've been only dreams. I have met Men of God that I would never have known had it not been for me being a PK. I count it a humbling honor that Men of God I look up to know me. I have in some way been influenced by them. Men like Elds Joe Ben Terry, Jerry Hovater, Morris Terry, Mark Baughman who have passed on to their Great Reward. Those still living and they are so numerous I would not be able to name them all..... My life has been surrounded by Men of God and the Ministry and that alone, I would not trade for all the pleasures of sin and the whole world combined. That is WAY too cheap of a price to give it all up for......I know Men in Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Ohio, Mississippi, Florida, Colorado, Oklahoma, Idaho, California, New Mexico, Arizona, Missouri, Kansas...and Im sure others but my memory fails me.... The total impact of all of these cannot ever be measured.
Because of knowing them, it segways into getting to know other people all across America. For 22 years, my life has been church based. Twenty-two years of making friends and tremendous memories. I have great friends that had I not been a PK, I most likely wouldn't know them. Because we have a smaller church, unfortunately, our Youth Group doesn't get out much to other venues for fellowship. That easily could be me......Instead, because of my Dads ministry and the legacy of my Grandfather Eld. Donald R. Lee, I have been able to meet hundreds of people. I have a friend that is like a brother to me. Closer maybe...Jonathan. Ive known him since he was a 6-7mnth old baby crawling around a blanket in the Parsonage when my grandparents Pastored in Atlanta. Weve become very close....Our families may as well be one big family. Bro an Sis Waldrep are almost as an Uncle and Aunt. Kaylen is like my little sister, because I remember when she was born (yeah I'm that old). But I wouldnt know these people if not for my PK status. Here's something more depressing for me.........I more than likely woudlnt know Brittany. I met her at ADMIT. Which I was there with my dad and mom....Had I been a saint, it wouldnt have happened. Whose to say if we would have the same wonderful relationship today???? I cannot understand how people can walk away from everything.......for nothing. Because when put side by side to all of this....It turns to nothing. It cannot be traded, because these are Godly things. All the hundreds of people I know and have known, I will not and cannot trade them for anything. They deserve better.
So, a little different post, but Ive been really thinking about it all. And I still say, I am blessed more than anybody else.
Thanks to Eld. Howard for inviting me and allowing me to attend the Conference, Thank You sir. Thanks to The Copeland Family for allowing me to stay with them the weekend as well. And thanks to my sweet and pretty girlfriend Miss Brittany Lyn for some laughs and memories. You are the best ever ;)

So a quite a few weeks ago, I received an invitation to a Marriage Conference, sponsored by Tulsa Lighthouse Church, in Springdale, AR. Basically, it was a "thats a good idea, now go talk to Pastor Howard about it" setup LOL Thanks, Eld. Baglin. Well, Eld. Howard strongly approved...............So I went. Not really any other way about it when two Elders tell you to do something.
Well, it was indeed a trip to remember. Eld Steve Kelley from Kamiah, Idaho did the teaching for both morning and evening sessions. It was tremendous! I had heard some parts of it from the ADMIT CDs, but still it had a way of being fresh and new. He expounded about discerning spirits to see whether they be of God, refusing the lies that give Satan power over you, not allowing idols in your life, and so much more.....All in context of marriage. I could not do justice to it all in this meager post. No way.....I learned so much and feel like I am better equipped for my future. He is an amazing teacher with an incredible insight into the things of the Spirit. And a great anointed Man of God. Thank you, sir......
An added benefit of the Conference was that I was able to see my beautiful girlfriend, Lady Brittany Copeland. She is something else let me tell you......(take that how you wish). She is a wonderful young Lady. Emphasis on the "Lady." We had some great times and laughs for sure lol Of course with Eld Baglin in form, laughter will ensue immediately. Trust me on that...We ate at the famous AQ Chicken House in Springdale. It was phenomenal!
Also, I had the honor of formally meeting Eld. Steve Kelley. Admittedly I was a little bit...uhhhh...nervous shall we say. But, Eld Kelley is an extremely nice man. Very down to earth and friendly. I, obviously, knew who he was, and because I have a Father, Uncle, and a Grandfather in the Ministry, had seen him at various meetings. Never actually introduced to each other though. But, it was indeed an honor to make his acquaintance. Which leads me to another thought I've been thinking of....
I am so blessed to be an Apostolic. More specifically, an Apostolic Preacher's Kid. Now, I must say that it is a life that few could handle. The pressures, scrutiny, preconceived notions of behavior, conduct, and attitude are ENORMOUS. You live in a glass house. People hold you to a higher, if sometimes unfair, standard. Is that right?? I dont know, but it is something that we must bear. For better or worse....
