Happy National Texas Day!

According to the National Days Calendar, February 1st is National Texas Day, but it’s not clear why.  Texas Independence Day is March 2, San Jacinto Day is April 21 and Texas was granted U.S. statehood on Dec. 29, 1845.

Could it be because on February 1, 1861, a group of Texas delegates voted to secede from the Union?  However, it wasn’t ratified by voters until February 23 and secession wasn’t made official until another convention in March.

Anyway, what better way to celebrate the day than to explore what a Texas entrepreneur learned from the Father of Modern Management?

The Christian Husband

Today is my 24th anniversary of marital bliss with Jennifer! It’s a different anniversary in 2021, as we’re both in quarantine with COVID-19.  Fortunately, we both have mild symptoms now and will be out of quarantine later this week.

Three years ago, we celebrated our anniversary with a trip to Barcelona, Spain, where I was speaking for the “HR Minds Future of Talent Forum.”  For the plane ride, I picked up a copy of Bob Lepine’s The Christian Husband. 

As Lepine puts it, “Any man can be a husband, but only a godly man can reflect the glory of God as he fills that sacred role.”
