Deep in the Heart of Texas

Texas is a land rich in history and rich in natural resources. The land is rich in oil and other resources. As the early settlers moved across the country and settled in Texas, they capitalized on the gifts they brought with them, courage, and strength, loyalty to family, ingenuity, and spirit! These attitudes of survival against all odds, served them well during the period of the gold rush, as well as the battles and wars that had to be fought to claim the land.

As Texans say, “everything is big in Texas! ” Moreover, that includes their big heart!
