There is always and turn in the road.

We all face problems and stress in this world. After all Jesus said in this world you will have tribulation. He also tells us that those problems and stressful situations cause us to grow in Him by becoming like Him. That is a good thing to happen. But there comes a time when we are given "release" to know that what we were about is not what we have to be about.

An example may be your current job. Now I personally believe that God calls us into a "purpose" with our vocation and He equips us to do the job in a way for Him to be glorified by our success or failure. If you're like me you make have spent a majority of you life in the same job or working in with the same organization.

I've actually had several jobs while working for the same organization. Teacher, coach, counselor, acting Principal, night school principal, summer school principal, principal, assistant principal all are different jobs with different situations calling for some different skills. I'd like to think that I have done a good job at all of these jobs and that I'm worthy of my position because of my having experience and knowledge that come with years of service.

My job now is very difficult because I deal with young students who have made mistakes and have been put out of their home schools. Drugs, weapons, fights, threats, you name it they have done it. The causes, who actually knows? Mother, father, family, lack of family, prenatal care, being dropped on their head, what ever. Difficult but purposeful. It gives me a sense of worth that for most of the last 36 years I have not felt. Making a difference in one life is great but having the opportunity to make things better for many kids is what it is all about.

You reach a point that you examine the scales and notice it takes more on your side than it does the other. Paying more, getting less, sacrificing more, affecting less, investing more with less return. Helps me see God's hand more clearly.

Today it became very evident that I can continue to work where I am and make some difference but the cost has become to high. It's kinda a feeling that you have been given permission to change post in the battle. That your commander has said I need you at another post now, I release you from this responsibility.

So released I am to face another battle, to take on another responsibility. I'm sure it will be under the same commander with the same purposes. I need not hope I know that my commander/leader will not change and my purpose will not change.

I know who holds the future. In the book of Jeremiah God tells us he knows the plan for us, it is for us to look at His purpose and see when He is saying "I release you to do my purpose some where else."

These thing don't happen over night and once given release you don't, you can't just walk away but you can think more clearly of what the next post will be.

I ain't dead yet, neither are you!

Let's Get a Grip!
PLEASE!!

We have gone here before but I can't help but to visit again the insanity of the surrender by individuals to the college athletics.

So much for enjoyment in athletics, especially college. Cheerleaders, strategy on the field, on the court, and during the game. Traditions like the cow bell, family tail gating, special FOODS!

Then there are those things that spoil it all, hatred, selfishness, missed place devotion, they all jump in. It's like the devil taking away our joy by tempting us with that most tempting thing we would ever face. The sin that separates us from joy.

Can't we all just enjoy the game and then look forward to the next game?? I don't think so! Watching or being at a college football game has become a passion for some people. I mean a passion in the strictest sense. I mean a passion like makes husbands leave their wives. I mean passion that causes hurt to those who just minutes before you were saying I love you to.

At what point do we GET A GRIP?! At what point does this passion become a rage and what is the real cause????? Is it worth it? It has become an addiction like alcohol to the alcoholic. How does each individual deal with this??

I really can't say how people handle this attitude, feeling, addiction, but there are many many individuals that are failing miserably at controlling themselves when it relates to college athletics.

To them and to you I say GET A GRIP!!!! You hurt it for most of us borderline sports fans.

What's That You Didn't Say?

Well darn the farm Mr. President. You missed another opportunity.

"Far be it for our American President to publicly congratulate (let alone even mention) AMERICAN ingenuity and AMERICAN PRIVATE ENTERPRISE for the miracle rescue of the Chilean Miners.

• Schramm Inc. of West Chester , Pennsylvania built the drills and equipment used to reach the trapped miners.
• Center Rock Company, also from Pennsylvania , built the drill bits used to reach the miners.
• UPS, the US shipping company, delivered the 13-ton drilling equipment from Pennsylvania to Chile in less than 48 hours.
• Crews from Layne Christensen Company of Wichita Kansas and its subsidiary Geotec Boyles Bros. worked the drills and machinery to locate and reach the miners and then enlarge the holes to ultimately rescue them.
• Jeff Hart of Denver Colorado was called off his job drilling water wells for the U.S. Army's forward operating bases in Afghanistan to lead the drilling crew that reached the miners.
• Atlas Copco Construction Mining Company of Milwaukee , Wisconsin provided consulting on how to make drilling equipment from different sources work together under differing pressure specifications.
• Aries Central California Video of Fresno California designed the special cameras that were lowered nearly a mile into the ground sending back video of the miners.
• Zephyr Technologies of Annapolis Maryland , made the remote monitors of vital signs that miners wore during their ascent.
• NASA Engineers designed the " Phoenix " capsule that miners would be brought to the surface in, and provided medical consulting, special diets and spandex suits to maintain miners' blood pressure as they're brought back to the surface.
• Drilling Supply Co., Houston also involved.

Oh, and Canadian-based Precision Drilling Corp. and South-African company Murray & Roberts, drilled backup rescue shafts in case the American rig failed. Which it didn't."

IT JUST DOESN'T MATTER!



There are certain parts of movies that just hang on. One of my favorites is a moment at Camp Mohawk when the Lake "something" Olympics were taking place. Of course the rich kids camp was winning and Camp Mohawk chances are slim and none. Head Counselor Bill Murry steps up to give the motivational talk to the seemly dumed campers and profoundly states that no matter what they did all the really good looking chick would still go out with the kids at Morning Star because they had all the money. And then he begins to chant "it just doesn't matter, it just doesn't matter, it just doesn't matter" over and over till the whole camp is screaming "it just doesn't matter. "



Recently I was apart of two meeting where "well-to-do" men and woman came together for some common purposes. Of course that is an assumption on my part because my conclusions are that both groups wanted the same results but weren't welling to give up part of themselves to accomplish a common good. I guess they all were inwardly chatting "it just doesn't matter.".

Facts are, it really does matter. It matters that we are together in what our efforts can accomplish and even more it really does matter that we realize that God is able to meet ours and the needs of others exceedingly abundantly beyond our greatest expectation.

It is time for us all to put aside ourselves for others and do what is right instead of what is proper or fitting.

Bit'em Dawgs!!!
I say that to say this... There are a lot of "nuts" in the world. They say things that even they don't understand but expect everybody else to understand what they meant after saying stupid things that no one understood to begin with. I know some of these people personally and they just don't get any better with time. They are their own worst enemy. Their heart's desire is for someone to take care of their every wish in life. Whether it be financially, socially, spiritually, or "hopefully." (I know... you have to think about that one.) Good grief!! Grow up and be your own person. Take notes so you don't forget who you are. You could make you own life and live it. Stop trying to live someone else's life or get someone to live for you. Tell the truth and stop looking for excuses.
Let me make one last statement, if you want to blame someone blame Al Gore. They tell me he takes credit for the World Wide Web and most people wouldn't be able to think up the crap they throw out there if it wasn't for the "web".
Thanks, Al! Now go climb a mountain.

Every now and then I get a little story via e-mail that I think it would be a tragdy if all didn't read it. This is one of them.


The Pickle Jar

The pickle jar as far back as I can remember sat on the floor beside the dresser in my parents’ bedroom. When he got ready for bed, Dad would empty his pockets and toss his coins into the jar.


As a small boy, I was always fascinated at the sounds the coins made as they were dropped into the jar . They landed with a merry jingle when the jar was almost empty. Then the tones gradually muted to a dull thud as the jar was filled.

I used to squat on the floor in front of the jar to admire the copper and silver circles that glinted like a pirate’s treasure when the sun poured through the bedroom window.
When the jar was filled, Dad would sit at the kitchen table and roll the coins before taking them to the bank. Taking the coins to the bank was always a big production.


Stacked neatly in a small cardboard box, the coins were placed between Dad and me on the seat of his old truck.


Each and every time, as we drove to the bank, Dad would look at me hopefully. ‘Those coins are going to keep you out of the textile mill, son. You’re going to do better than me. This old mill town’s not going to hold you back.’


Also, each and every time, as he slid the box of rolled coins across the counter at the bank toward the cashier, he would grin proudly. ‘These are for my son’s college fund. He’ll never work at the mill all his life like me.’


We would always celebrate each deposit by stopping for an ice cream cone. I always got chocolate. Dad always got vanilla. When the clerk at the ice cream parlor handed Dad his change, he would show me the few coins nestled in his palm. ‘When we get home, we’ll start filling the jar again.’ He always let me drop the first coins into the empty jar. As they rattled around with a brief, happy jingle, we grinned at each other.


‘You’ll get to college on pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters,’ he said. ‘But you’ll get there; I’ll see to that.’


No matter how rough things got at home, Dad continued to doggedly drop his coins into the jar. Even the summer when Dad got laid off from the mill, and Mama had to serve dried beans several times a week, not a single dime was taken from the jar.

To the contrary, as Dad looked across the table at me, pouring catsup over my beans to make them more palatable, he became more determined than ever to make a way out for me ‘When you finish college, Son,’ he told me, his eyes glistening, ‘You’ll never have to eat beans again - unless you want to.’


The years passed, and I finished college and took a job in another town. Once, while visiting my parents, I used the phone in their bedroom, and noticed that the pickle jar was gone. It had served its purpose and had been removed.


A lump rose in my throat as I stared at the spot beside the dresser where the jar had always stood. My dad was a man of few words: he never lectured me on the values of determination, perseverance, and faith. The pickle jar had taught me all these virtues far more eloquently than the most flowery of words could have done. When I married, I told my wife Susan about the significant part the lowly pickle jar had played in my life as a boy. In my mind, it defined, more than anything else, how much my dad had loved me.


The first Christmas after our daughter Jessica was born, we spent the holiday with my parents. After dinner, Mom and Dad sat next to each other on the sofa, taking turns cuddling their first grandchild. Jessica began to whimper softly and Susan took her from Dad’s arms. ‘She probably needs to be changed,’ she said, carrying the baby into my parents’ bedroom to diaper her. When Susan came back into the living room, there was a strange mist in her eyes.
She handed Jessica back to Dad before taking my hand and leading me into the room. ‘Look,’ she said softly, her eyes directing me to a spot on the floor beside the dresser. To my amazement, there, as if it had never been removed, stood the old pickle jar, the bottom already covered with coins. I walked over to the pickle jar, dug down into my pocket, and pulled out a fistful of coins. With a gamut of emotions choking me, I dropped the coins into the jar. I looked up and saw that Dad, carrying Jessica, had slipped quietly into the room. Our eyes locked, and I knew he was feeling the same emotions I felt. Neither one of us could speak.


This truly touched my heart. Sometimes we are so busy adding up our troubles
that we forget to count our blessings. Never underestimate the power of your actions. With one small gesture you can change a person’s life, for better or for worse.


God puts us all in each other’s lives to impact one another in some way. Look for GOOD in others.


The best and most beautiful things cannot be seen or touched - they must be felt with the heart ~ Helen Keller


· Happy moments, praise God.
· Difficult moments, seek God.

Friends there has been a William sighting!












ain't life great!!!!!!!!!!!
SHOES Part II


I start with the "I sorry" for not letting the shoe thing go, but is it just a female hormone thing or what! NO! it happens to guys too. Good grief! Do you not understand that those shoes are for hunting bears in the woods and they just don't go with a tie! Guys guys guys... Take a second and thing. Unless you have "problems with your feet" get something that doesn't make you feet he topic of discussion after you leave the room.

Here's a clue, OK, some clues. Right list time.

Clues you made a mistake in shoe selection or reasons to "get thee to a shoe store.":
1. Your toe is sticking out between the slits in the shoe.
2. You have walked the heel down on those shoes where they look like mountain man clogs.
3. There are parts of leather (or something that looks some what like leather) "hanging" off the heels.
4. One shoe is a different color than the other and yes, you have tried to polish them several times with that can paste polish your dad used.
5. SOMETHING Smells!
6. My sister has a pair like yours but she wears a dress some.
7. The heel is "way" high making you look like you're walking in high water.
8. You laces form the shape of an exotic animal.
9. They are the same color as your Christmas tie.
10. The toes are shaped perfectly for kill insects running to the corner of the room.
11. Good grief men unless you name is "Huggy" purple is not a shoe color.

12. STEELE toes???? What are you afraid of??? are you planning a dance contest with a BIG women??



Now... GO... get thee to the shoe store.

What is the source of you actions?

Speaking today of a widely published report of a Florida church's plan to burn the Muslim "holy" book the Kuran. Let me be clear how I stand on this.

STUPID STUPID STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not just the logical stance to prevent provocation of extremist who, to begin with are just looking for reasons to murder people that might be wearing the same tag as those who perform this action, but the better reason of "faith and action" this is stupid and dumb.

Why would you want to do such a thing? OK, we were all shocked at the actions of a few Muslim extremists of September 11th and I can imagine the hurt and hate of those who suffered lost of friends and family towards those of like faith and beliefs, but is hate a good reason to demonstrate a hateful act that is most assuredly gong to create more acts of hate. What more is at the center of this "burning" than hate, hate, and more hate.

Show me where Christ demonstrates hate except where it relates to sin and convince me in the least way that "hate" is not SIN!!!

Our whole existence as Christians is centered around Glorifying the Father. All things are to glorify the father and for that much all things do glorify the Father whether it is our intentions or not. God is in control always no matter what.

As to the "pastor " who came up with this idea I say, GOOD GRIEF! Get out, get out! Go away! Run into the wilderness and seek to find the truth you probably had at one time. You cannot stand at the Holy desk and present the Word of God and then not follow the teaching of that Word. You are not the care keeper of those in the faith family at your church. You are the wolf in sheep's clothes, the agent of the dark one, the false one spewing puss from you mouth leading others away from the true Christian walk.

The source of our actions as Christians is Christ the son of God. His love eternal.

Do all as you would be doing it unto God.

They will know you by your love for one another.

Now, of course I want to have an open mind. SO, if you can show me in the WORD of God how burning the "book" will glorify God I will bring the matches to Florida. Better yet I will buy a zippo with the emblem of the USMC on it and start the fire myself.

Sir you are the 1% percenter of the Christian family of faith.

War HUH!… What is it good for?????

Allow me to step to the soap box and shout with vigor… GOOD GRIEF!!!!

Mr. Obama has declared the war in Iraq, Iran, and Uran over. Hello, we’ve been at war?? Seems to me that we were in a war on terrorism and terrorism is where it is found. Whether Iran, Iraq, or Memphis. I was around when JFK was murdered because he was prepared to get out of Viet Nam. The “war we lost”, remember those kind of statements back in the 70’s. Seems it was to costly for us to stop the “war” then because of the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ to be made because of the “war”.

I see the “end of this war” as the same pulling out of a military action that was never unleashed on the true enemy. “Look but don’t touch” as I see it and at what cost? Lives of young men with loved ones that are shaking their heads at why. It’s not like the enemy is wearing a uniform that we can identify and pop a cap on him. Oh yea, we kill those that shoot at us but the ones that sit back and set off a bomb with their cell phones, the throw the brick and hide the hand group, they walk away to blow up kill kill kill another day.

Hell yes it is time to get out of the country but who do we send the bill for these years of “conflict” to? Now we’re going to sell $13,000,000,000 worth equipment to them. Get me right on this, we are leaving $13,000,000,000, of equipment behind. We don’t need it, opps, I forgot the Mexican border where bunches of people are flooding in to suck the tax payers money away from them. That will have to be for another time.

Now don’t take me wrong. I believe that being the strongest nation in the world comes with a price. We are called to stand for freedom and liberty, but where is the respect and “thank you”s for our expenses and sacrifice? WHERE IS THE RESPECT???

What do you think would happen if we took just 1/10 of the price of the “conflicts” and spent it on the gulf coast to restore the BP oil spill, or maybe another 1/10 and built fresh water wells in eastern nations of the world of need. We might cause some good and it wouldn’t be hazardous to any one’s health. 27,000 children dying daily of preventable diseases… how about doing something about that.

Here’s my decree for dealing with conflicts, since this is Walden World I can decree, No more “conflicts”!!! If we have to go to a nation to clear up a “problem’, we go full speed, fully manned, guns a blasting and then get out!!! No forming government, no training the army to take over just wham bam thank you mam.

Here another decree just because it my world and this one is a list of course.
1. One billion dollars to the Mississippi and Louisiana coast to rebuild from Katrina and the BP “accident.” One each, keep the change.
2. 3 billion dollars to supply fresh water wells for the peoples of Africa.
3. 4.5 Billion dollars to states education funding directly to alternative education to get the dummies out of class rooms with the students that want an education.
4. I decree that no “checks” will be provided any person who is not a productive citizen and does not work! No matter how many kids they have out of the union of marriage, NO CHECK!
War HUH!… What is it good for?????

Allow me to step to the soap box and shout with vigor… GOOD GRIEF!!!!

SHOES: A women's affair
I just had to share an observation of mine that has served to entertain me for a life time. I get a kick out of what women will do to have fashionable feet.
Girls will buy anything that is offered without thinking about whether or not the shoe is going to last long enough to pass the store door, and of course Carol and Marilyn say "90 days and the style is out." I mean "style"? Good Grief!
List time. Observations related to women and their shoes:
1. There are really only a few styles of women's shoes. The difference is the junk that is glued on them and that is not limited in any way. Then you got your high heel, not so high heal and the "flat". Then you modify the heal to the wedge, spike, boxy, geometric, "death pointy", and the "grand ma's." Any variety of this will work.
2. Women have no regard for safety when selecting shoes. Some of these shoes should carry a warning label because of the height of the heal or sole.
3. Women have no regard for the way their feet look in some shoes. I mean when your toes run out the end of the shoe a good 1 1/2 inches where your foot looks like a Golden Temple monkey's foot gripping the shoe, it's time to let those babies good or it's time to confess that you were under the influence of the shopping gods when you bought them.
4. It is possible to determine the price or comfort of women's shoes by the noise they make when a women walks. Whether it is a "slap" or a "slappy dap", girls please!
I'm not sure because I'm one of those people who wear things out, shoes included, but there seems to be a lot of shoes boxes in every girl's closet to justify a movement to give some to those children in foreign lands who are without shoes... that is if they would wear them.

Frustrated? #%@$#&!

Seems as I look back on my life that it's filled with frustration and and being dumped on. Well, I guess it really depends on where I am standing when you are looking back that makes the difference. It's that old "half full or half empty glass" thing. In my Christian walk it depends on whether I'm up to the challenge or not. Key word there being "I."

It wasn't till I got to college that I discovered that the Christian life is impossible to live and my frustrations were because I was fighting to live it on my own. Impossible, yes, because only one person has ever lived the Christian life, Billy Graham. No not Billy, it was Jesus. That is because he is God. Sinless God. The sadness, frustration, and depression in my life all were centered in my failure to grow and learn and apply what was available to me because of the same sacrifice that brought me eternal life in Christ. The book of Galatians talks of the fruits (results) of the Holy Spirit of God, but even those results are only evident when we are dependant on the totality of God.

The Christian like life is hard to live. "THAT'S DA FACT JACK!"

Time for a list. These are things that are certain in the Christian pursuit of the abundant life:
1. God loves you and has a plan for us all. Special UNIQUE plan for us individually.

2. God will get glory in all He does in our lives and through our lives.

3. Satan does not want you to follow Christ therefore he will do everything he can to frustrate you and derail you in your path to glorify the father. Satan will attack you in every area of your life especially your family (loved ones), your body (physically), and emotions (love, hate, etc...)

4. This too shall pass.

Let me share with you a short note that I read today that really is "uping".

BY THE WAY I'M INVENTING A NEW WORD! IT IS THE WORD "UPING". No it doesn't have two "Ps". It is spelled 'U' 'P' 'I' 'N' 'G'. Defined as something worth mentioning that bring your spirit up from where ever it has been. As in the sentence: I was feeling down because my bank account was short my needs till I was remind that God still loves me by reading an article that was "UPING".

If God Really Loves Me...Then Why Do I Suffer?
The worse this planet becomes, the more people ask that same old question... "If God Really Loves Me...Then Why Do I Suffer?" It's the basis for all kinds of attacks against the God of the Bible and His teachings. It's even used to attack the evidence of His existence and the legitimacy of the Christian faith. The response typically given to "Do You Believe in God?," is almost always the same. If there is a God and he loves me then he wouldn't do that, he wouldn't cause this, he wouldn't allow this to happen, and on it goes. Is there a purpose in my suffering? Is God truly Sovereign? Is there a purpose in all things, even my death or someone else's? Why do these things happen to me!?

"My comfort in my suffering is this: Your promise preserves my life."(Psalm 119:50)
You might not get it but for me the answers were pretty uping, yes? Of course yes!

GIVE ME A BREAK! OR NOT!
Hot story today is about the flight attendant that got feed up with a passenger and released the emergency exit and said "outa here". The guy slid down the exit, got in his car and went home. I say... sign of the times. I don't know what the passenger did but couldn't he have just done what he was suppose to do. GOOD GRIEF! What ever happened to folk just doing what is right. Day's pay for a day's work. I think somebody removed the you courtesy from the dictionary of life. The only thing i might have done differently would have been to fill my pockets with those little bags of peanuts before i jumped down the slide.
Some how we've got the idea that we are owed something. What ever happened to that more blessed to give than receive??? It's till around just not on the minds of a lot of folk.
Second point today is Native American. I'm proud to say that i actually have Native American blood in my family. Great great grand mother thing on both sides I'm told. Thus my understanding of and the actuate interpretation the "TV Indian" language as I have. Things like "speaks with forked tongue" "they went that away" are right up my alley.
And that brings me to my second point of the day, the real message behind "speaks with forked tongue" is "you are a two faced person" that brings crap into the good lives of others.
I have to claim a Gump for not saying anything else on that. you know Forest Gump, "and that's all I have to say about that."
