Book Cover & Preview Text
Why do we need a story about an illegitimate eastern Oklahoma Hill-Country kid? That’s a good question. -------------------Well, why not? --- He developed into quite a man, of many talents. When God has his hand in your life, things move along in a very different way. Things in your life work out much better. Read chapter 28 of Deuteronomy, in your Bible. Learn how different life can be, IN God’s plan. He had an 8th grade log school house education (about 50% Cherokee Indian students), and more determination than most kids have. I expect that determination was largely brought on by the unkind treatment he received from others, because of his being illegitimate, and everyone knew about it, and no one let him forget it for a minute, in those days, he was fair game. Later in life, in a different location, this problem was greatly reduced. All but what he held inside. But even so, he made a pretty good-sized mark in the world, before he graduated to his Heavenly Home. Not too bad for a no-body country boy. He had something that a lot people don’t have. Grit, determination and drive. The will to win, I would say. Whatever IT was, he had a bunch of IT. A Blessing and a Curse. It gave him the internal DRIVE to accomplish all that he did, but pressing so hard, for so long, broke down his health, so that his life ended after 48 years. He felt that he had to prove himself worthy of taking up space on God’s earth. Makes a verry interesting story.... Taste and see ......

About the Author
Son of Vernon Ted McCombs. I am mostly an average person, but very proud of the accomplishments of my father's life. I watched his life, up close, and personal. He told me stories of his life, that I found most interesting. I was also blessed to spend a lot of time among his family members, when he bought the farm in Oklahoma, near where he was raised.
