"The basic premise of the event is that hunters hunt rattlesnakes from the surrounding environment all across West Texas, and bring them into the roundup for the weekend. And during the roundup, these snakes are kept in a pit and then, one by one, beheaded and skinned in front of in front of audiences." - Elizabeth MeLampy Elizabeth MeLampy is a lawyer dedicated to animal rights and protection, and her passion for this work shines through in her latest book, Forget the Camel, the Madcap World of Animal Festivals and What They Say About Being Human . To research the book, Elizabeth traveled across the country, immersing herself in a wide range of animal festivals — from the Iditarod dog sled race to the rattlesnake roundup in Sweetwater, Texas. Elizabeth examines these festivals as revealing microcosms of our broader relationship with animals. Whether it's rattlesnake hunts, frog-jumping contests, ostrich races, or groundhog celebrations, these events reflect the ways humans use animals to express cultural identity, community pride, and historical traditions. Yet beneath the pageantry and excitement lies a deeper question: Is our fascination with these spectacles worth the toll it takes on the animals involved? With compassion and insight, Elizabeth invites readers to consider whether there’s a more ethical and empathetic way to honor our stories — one that respects both animals and the traditions they inspire. Please listen, share and read, Forget the Camel. It will be released on April 8th, 2025. https://apollopublishers.com/index.php/forget-the-camel/…

Hi this is Marquis Egerton. I'm my song writing I've always come from my heart. 99% of my songs have come from my experiences in life. Some experiences have been sad, happy, disappointments, loneliness, joy, peace, hopeful, mostly my faith in God as he's brought me from storm to storm, from chapter to chapter. The interesting thing is, for me , it's been a life long journey, I've had my ups and my downs, but God has always proven to been around. At the Times I've even disappointed myself, but something on the inside never allowed me to give up. The fight to stand and withstand, has been in me since I was 9 years of age. When I wanted to quit, I wanted to give up, I wanted to end it all, Jesus just never allowed me to. That word somehow is powerful. He's always made a way somehow, from abandonment to filling the void in my life. Today I'm not speaking from a weak place but from a place in knowing it's God that has kept me. Listen to this. https://youtube.com/watch?v=cHS8cYl4uhM

Marquis Egerton had the esteemed pleasure to meet the writer of this song Dr. Robert Frison many many years ago when I was a young man. As a young child and teen this song blessed administered to me many years before my meeting him. God is my all and all. I need him more and more each and every day, this very hour, God you are my all in all. - Marquis Demacking Egerton…
Marquis Egerton here, as I am reminded during this season there are so many people in the world that need love. There are so many people in the world that would love to have just a small portion of your life. This is what I mean, many times in life its so easy to complain, about this and about that. Some people complain about their living conditions, wanting a noicer for bigger house, they despise the home they live in, some complain about the shoes they are wearing, the clothes they don't like, the meals that don't match their approval, I'm too fat, I'm too skinny, I'm too dark, I'm too light, I think by now you see my point. Now let's look at the same scenario and look at the person that, slept outside last night under a bridge, not because they wanted to, or did anything wrong but circumstances hit them and they were forced into survival mode, let's look at the person that don't have clothes or shoes to put on for them nor their children, lets look at the person that is on life support holding on to dear life, or that person that lives in a bubble that needs assistance to eat, need someone to bathe them, wipe them when they use the bathroom, ah hah yes we have so many reasons to be thankful. Even the person that failed in life, your failure don't need to define you, that's the decision you make, get back up again, do good, be thankful in all things, be grateful, be gracious, be forgiving, and be loving to others. In all things be thankful, even your ability to see and read this is a blessing, there's someone somewhere that is blind and would trade places with you right now. Marquis Egerton Thanks Don Moen for this song. Give Thanks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blbslHDgceY…
Hi Marquis Egerton here, if you've ever been in a place of hurt, brokenness and God has kept you and brought you through some hard and tough times. If you know what it means and what it's like when it feels like the weight of the world is on your shoulders , and we'll... listen to this song. It tells a story I believe most of us can relate to. I thank God for being God. My God. Thank you Bishop Hezekiah Walker for this song. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tu9j_n0gihE…

Marquis Egerton favorites, Israel Houghton & New Breed ministry was such as gift through the years. Nothing beats true worship and praise. Check this worship experience, everyone in the house sitting around singing getting lost in pure worship. Reminds me of when I get to heaven and how it'll be sitting at the feet of God singing and worshiping him 24/7. Hallelujah! Enjoy! Marquis Egerton…
