One Scoop at a time
Excerpt From The Book
When my cell phone rang at 6:45 PM on that Friday evening back in 2015, the caller ID displayed: our President and CEO at Blue Bell. To be getting a call on a Friday night indicated that something was out of the ordinary at best. Good news was generally saved for Monday, so even before I answered, my imagination immediately went into overdrive.
In those initial few seconds, my thoughts went from the possibility that his Dad, Ed Kruse, and leader of our company for so many years, had fallen ill to there being something wrong at the plant.
Uncertainty of the unknown can cause immediate anxiety, which tends to lead to fear. Emotions like this can also have a way of taking over when you are least prepared, and nothing had prepared me for what was next……..
Meet The Author
HE SUCCEEDED IN LIFE AND BUSINESS WITH ONE SCOOP AT A TIME.
What started out as a college term paper opened the door to an amazing 43-year career at Blue Bell Creameries for Ricky Dickson. Throughout his journey that led to him becoming President and CEO of Blue Bell, Ricky’s life has been filled with many blessings, but also extremely difficult times that challenged his faith, leaving him searching for answers.
It’s in those moments when Ricky realized when there was nothing more he could do, he anchored in his faith by totally depending on God. He discovered that when fear tried to relentlessly take over, peace came at the same place where faith began, following God’s direction …..”One Scoop at a Time.”
Ricky and his wife Anita currently reside in Oklahoma City. As a blended family of 26 years, they have five children and eight grandchildren.
Life is all about the journey.
One Scoop at a Time is a collection of stories and fun experiences from my journey—from college to working for Blue Bell to personal events. All these moments left a profound effect on who I am today.

A book Persevering Through Hard times
Forward Written by Mark Batterson
Few things bring us to our knees, like fear.
Fear is a powerful emotion, whether it’s fear of failure or the future. How we manage that emotion will make us or break us. You can draw closer to God, or you can distance yourself.
When life is good, walking with God is relatively easy. It’s when things get complicated—when fear wiggles its way into our minds and hearts—that we find ourselves at God’s feet.
