Life's Like That was born when I was having trouble getting clients at the Family Counseling Center. That is a fancy name that came from my family counseling career. I thought I needed to get some ads in the local newspaper. That led to my meeting Mr Rowe Ray, the managing editor of the San Marcos Daily Record. I simply wanted to explore possibilities but ended with an invitation to write a weekly column for the newspaper. I can honestly say I never broke my word on confidentiality; i.e. everything we talked about stayed in the Center, everything that is except the funny things. I was counseling with a game warden that told me about a lady who was losing a sheep a night to one old hungry coyote. Whenever the warden came out, she would start feeling sorry for the coyote and asked the warden not to shoot it. Finally she had five sheep left. She called the warden and once again told him she wasn't ready to have him hunt down the coyote. The warden looked at the little flock of sheep and said, Mrs. Jones, whatever you say, but we've only got five more days anyway" As you read this book there will be tears and sunshine. The good news is you don't have to sit down and read it all at once. Life Really Is Like That"

About the Author:
Col Bullock is a native Texan born from two pioneer families dating to the Republic of Texas (1836-46). He grew up on the western plains of Texas during the triple influence of the dust bowl, the great depression and the onset of World War II. He spent 28 years in military service, retiring in 1981 as the Vice Commander of the Air Force Office of Security Police. As an only child of well-spoken and well-educated parents, at an early age he was comfortable in conversation with adults. Too young to be in World War II and in college through the Korean Crisis, he was nevertheless already in uniform through the ROTC programs at Sunset High School (Dallas), Texas Technological College and East Texas State University; his life work was set. After graduating from East Texas State University in 1953 and at the same time being commissioned a second lieutenant in the U S Air Force - all of which was followed by a wedding to the loveliest girl in the world, Lucille Young, in August 1953. As born-again Christians, their love for Christ is prominent in these articles. Answering God's call to the ministry, the author was ordained a pastor long before he retired from the Air Force. In this book he shares with you the gleanings of 80 years. In his dash between birth and death he has written four books; served through the Cold War; saw the Berlin wall before and after it fell; served as a missile launch control officer on the Atlas ICBM; was executive director of a non-profit corporation; operated a business; had a family counseling service; wrote for and edited several journals; was director of human resources for a major corporation; and wrote about 1400 newspaper articles called Life's Like That.
