NO! {yes}

A certain Kentucky Senator said a LOUD NO! to the stimulus bill.

Then gave a quiet yes to spending a lot of it in Kentucky.

Wonder what that says???

I know some of these people

Ned Ludd is said to have destroyed, in a fit of insanity, a knitting frame in 1779. In response to the Luddites, the British parliament passed the Frame Breaking Act which made the destroying of knitting frames punishable by death.

Amazing Frogs

Perhaps not what you think

I am talking about my Horn Frogs at Texas Christian University.

I am not much of a sports fan so I am shocked to discover that TCU is number 4 in the nation in collage football. Amazing When I went to TCU a winning season was when we actually won a game. Now they are undefeated. Amazing Frogs!!!

Two Connections

A woman was talking to her friend holding her new cell phone telling her friend how it had everything on it. It’s my plan for the day, my directions for how to get there and has connections to all my family and friends.

 

 Her friend held up her bible and said It’s has my plan for life, my directions for getting to heaven, connections with God’s people and tells me how to love my neighbor.

 

We live in two world’s one physical and the other spiritual and we need connections to both.

 

This is Sunday the Lord’s Day so make your connections.

Perfect Day

This was a wonderful day!

The weather was perfect to be outside and I spent the day at Jefferson Memorial Forrest serving as a Trail Ranger guiding hikers around the trails.

Oh yes and the fall colors in the forest are awesome. I am a happy man.

The Last Time

The last time I visited my father at his house we discussed old times in Lamesa, Texas. During the course of the conversation he said, “The whipping [his word mine would be beatings] I gave you made you the man you are today.”

 

I glared at him for a moment trying to comprehend what he said. I told him that it was my mother’s faith that did that not his beatings. I then got up and left and never returned. It is sad that he honestly believed that.

 

Over the course of  the last ten years he alienated all six of his legal children and none of us are speaking to him. He will likely die alone in the nursing home wondering why no one comes to visit.

 

All six of us tried to reconcile with him many times but he kept up his verbal beatings until we could no longer take it. It is a sad state of affairs’ but he brought it all on himself again and again. He has no memory now so there is no making up with his children.
