INSPIRED BY THE WOMEN’S MARCH IN WASHINGTON, I, too, wanted to do something to support human rights.
I marched at the Texas State Capital last Saturday with three of my friends from our church and about 5,000 others on behalf of little women, those pre-born Americans who are aborted by their mothers, along with pre-born men, and people of all colors, in the thousands, every day.

The “town” of Cornudas, Texas, was little more than a wide spot on Highway 54 between El Paso and Carlsbad, New Mexico. It consisted of two or three abandoned gasoline pumps, a motel, which also appeared to be abandoned, and a rustic little country restaurant operated by what I surmised to be the only family to reside in that isolated desert landscape.

For centuries the legend of the Lost Spanish Mine has lured fortune hunters into the Texas Hill Country. That legend began on a hill south of Llano.
In 1753Spanish soldiers exploring the Llano River heard stories from Apaches of a hill of red ochre (cerro del almagre). Veins of silver were said to run through that hill so thick it hung in stalactites from the roofs of caves.
