LAUGHTER,CHEERS,AND FOND MEMORIES

Well I am a Happy Camper tonight(literally) Nug and I are out in the Motor home .Granted it is parked in the driveway.But one can dream of being Camped along a lake. My niece and her Husband arrived today.Along with their two Kids,Connor age 6 Hunter age 3.They drove from Texas.We have not seen them in three years.My Sister Trisha(the one that had the hurt leg) couldn't wait to meet her Grandson Hunter and get reacquainted with Connor.My niece Misty with whom I nicknamed her" Nelly" (After Nelly Olsen on Little House on the Prairie) was glad to be back home.She grew up in Grandma &Grandpa's house.She looked around at the changes that Dad had done and the new ones I'm making to the house. She said it doesn't seem the same.She turned toward me and I could see tears in her eyes.This is her first time back Since Grandma passed in 03 and Dad June 29 Th 08.That kind of saddens me that it doesn't feel like Grandpa&Grandmas house any more and mor

Its Merry Christmas,Not Happy Holiday

Hello everyone.O.k I want to start off with a small complaint.Today I was at my local LONGS DRUG STORE (Im there three to four times a week.)I do all my developing there for our Church Pictures.I was at the check out counter,all around me.I read signs that said.Holiday gifts here,Holiday CardsHere,Holiday Trees Here. I cant stand the word HOLIDAY now.I know originally it meant Holy day. But not now.They have replaced Merry Christmas with Holiday.Back to my thought.So im a t the check out paying for my items.The clerk hands me my change.I tell her Merry Christmas.There was dead silence.You could hear a pin drop.

Instead of Of being greatful for a Child that was born.We are now greatful for getting a deal on that lastest X Box.Our mentality is I must get it for little Timmy.Dont get me wrong,thats nice.But the true gift is reminding s

Journey To Bethleham

On thursday.I rode with Elias ( My Pastor) We took some of the youth. To Ceres a small town near Modesto. A Church there puts on a re- inactment of Journey to Bethleham. They really do a nice job.We waited out in the cold 2 1/2 hours. There were so many people. Finanlly it was our turn, They use about 100 acres to recreate the Journey that Joseph&Mary took to Behtleham.We went in groups of 32.Two woman dressed as Bible charaters Sarah &Ruth were our guides..Our first stop was a man dressed in Bible Character ,As he walks out of his tent he explains to us to pass the Jordon river, And to beware of the the Roman Soldiers.So we began walking ..And The Roman soilders appeared on horses and on foot.They yelled at us and asking us where we going,Sarah spoke for our group.She said we are trying to get to Bethleham.The Romans made us stand shoulder to shoulder,One of the Soilders stopped at me. And asked where are you coming from?I got nervous and said from over there,My Pastor standi
