The Miracle of America

The Miracle Of America by B. Larimore columnist A few years ago I read the book, “The American Miracle” (the divine providence in the rise of the Republic) by Michael Medved. I was enlightened by what he wrote about the many events in early America’s history that could not be considered anything less than God’s hand in the building of America as we know it today.

The Salesman

Larry Ron Gandy was born in McCamey, Texas, in 1938 as there was no hospital in Kermit, Texas where his parents lived…his birth was quite an event as Larry had a twin, Jerry. In those days twins were not often seen. Larry’s Dad grew up, one of twelve, in Breckenridge, Texas where the family worked in the oil fields and farmed. His dad was working as a truck driver in 1933 when he met Larry’s mom. They fell in love and married in Breckenridge, Texas, where Larry and Judy would repeat their vows 28 years later.
