Best Prayer I Have Heard In A Long Time...
Heavenly Father, Help us remember that the jerk who cut us off in
traffic last night is a single mother who worked nine hours that day
and is rushing home to cook dinner, help with homework, do the laundry and spend a few precious moments with her children.
Help us to remember that the pierced, tattooed, disinterested young
man who can't make change correctly is a worried 19-year-old college student, balancing his apprehension over final exams with his fear of not getting his student loans for next semester.
Remind us, Lord, that the scary looking bum, begging for money in
the same spot every day (who really ought to get a job!) is a slave to
addictions that we can only imagine in our worst nightmares.
Help us to remember that the old couple walking annoyingly slow
through the store aisles and blocking our shopping progress are
savoring this moment, knowing that, based on the biopsy report she got back last week, this will be the last year that they go shopping together.
Heavenly Father, remind us each day that, of all the gifts you give
us, the greatest gift is love. It is not enough to share that love with
those we hold dear. Open our hearts not to just those who are close to us, but to all humanity. Let us be slow to judge and quick to forgive, show patience, empathy and love.
If you send this to 5 people, then you have a chance to touch 5 people. Working for God on earth doesn't pay much.. . ...but His retirement plan is out of this world.
Letter to the Editor
You can click on the picture to read it or below I will have what I wrote and you can read it that way it will be after this paragraph explaining how we got here.
Athens had been dry for a long long time then they got it to a vote and it passed since then our economy in Athens has been booming. But what bothered me was a Methodist Pastor and then other "Christians" got into this war before we even vote on 8/14/07. Every single week in the Sunday paper for months now prior to getting to the signatures to even have it show up on a ballot and ever since this is like starting May or June. But every Sound Off or Letter to the Editor or 90% give the benefit of the doubt has been all about wet/dry. Dang we wonder why people dont believe Christians because they act like this. To be honest I could careless how the vote goes. I will vote to keep it wet but if you read these articles it would make you sick. I did not make the Headline above my letter. "Are Christians missing the point?" The rest is mine I had to cut it down so there were other things in there.
Dear Editor,
Where is Jesus? I ask that question after reading sound off and letters to the editor the past several weeks. The time and the talent it took to write these over whether or not Athens should be wet/dry. I found my heart shattered as to the body of Christ. It seems if I were deciding whether or not I wanted to join any church especially if I were young and saw this battle I would run like hell. Especially after seeing the article on the front page of The News Courier on July 24, 2007 where Jennifer Lord is basically begging for needed supplies for the elderly and the homebound, paraplegic etc.
I called and talked with Jennifer Lord to offer some things we may have. I also discussed our situation and others. You go by a wellness center and watch these mothers, fathers, sitters wrestle these wheelchairs in and out of vehicles and then get the patient out. I know the routine all to well. Satan is winning if we can keep the Body of Christ this distracted and not take care of the elderly and homebound, paraplegic and Veterans we are in trouble. I say we because I am a sinner myself and do not always use my talents to the best that the Lord would have me do. So here is the body of Christ writing all these letters and not one this Sunday was about the situation Jennifer Lord brought to the Body of Christ attention nothing was offered to help her out I am not saying Jennifer did not get response thier was no crying out from the citizens.
So if its wet or dry those without a bedside commode (THAT'S JESUS) or those without a handicap vehicle (THAT'S JESUS) or Handicapped equipped houses (THAT'S JESUS) Shower benches (THAT'S JESUS) Elevated toilet seats (THAT'S JESUS). They more than likely will not be even able to get to vote. Jesus Wept. For Lord when did I see you without all these things? Will God say to us at the end of this well done my good and faithful servants? Dry/Wet? Jesus Wept.
Call Council on the aging and Jennifer Lord? WWJD?
True friend working hard for Lolita
A dear friend of ours named Charley lives in Louisiana he and I used to travel together to work to provide for our families he was up here recently working 2 1/2 years at the Nuclear Plant and it drove him crazy that Lolita did not have the necessities she needed he has been back home for nearly 7 months and he kept calling everyone from there and finally he reached this writer who came out about 2 or 3 weeks ago and this article appeared in todays Huntsville times.

1965 Mustang bad as can be.
I have not seen any pictures of it I dont think I have any mom and dad might since he took the glory for building it I distinctly remember putting in at least the radio. But I will say this my dad built one bad motor when I say in this article we lost that was on long drag races on the interstate we never lost whether I drove it, bubba drove it or big zig drove it in the 1/4 mile we had marked off out in the county where Big Zig dad had a buisness. It would scream from the start. Now this is a public service message I do not condone drag racing except at official drag racing sites this message has been brought to you by the campaign for John Edwards.
Miami Herald Sat. Oct. 3rd 1970 :Parkway Middle School
On each piture to enlarge it you will have to click on it to read it and follow it on the top one it stops at During the first week. The second page picks up top right hand side its hard to see but it starts: of classes the prinicipal explained and that page ends at UNAWARE of several students. The next page picks up at who were interviewed and finishes at thirteen year old Scott. (the part in the upper right hand corner comes in later.)The last page picks up at Halsey and ends that makes it a lot nicer. (forget the paragraph next to it.)Those 2 paragraphs I told you to ignore went like this: It was a subsection called NEVER CALLED and it went like this: An armed gaurd is on patrol daily at Parkway as at many other schools in the county, prepared to take actionif Problems arise. To Principal Jordans knowledge Parkways gaurd has never been called on to handle any conflicts. The guard walks quietly up and down the halls, the only existing symbol of force in an otherwise peaceful situation.

Jolene, I have included some other family members on this info that you requested. "daddy told me to ask you about a song with jr growing up or something that happened today" Yesterday Grandpa and I were looking at the pictures and movies of Aliya's play. Grandpa has to look at them on my computer because his is very old and it locks up and he has to shut it down when he gets them (so please don't send him anymore, just send them to me and he can see them on my computer) anyway, on one of the movies when the kids were singing, when it first started, in the background almost drowning out the kids, the song that your Dad embeds in all of his emails, "Watching Scottie Grow", was playing. Grandpa heard it and I heard it and we commented that your Dad was covering over the kids singing with that song. I sent your Dad an email about it, and he tried to find it on what he sent and he sent it to your Mom's computer, and I went back to look for it on my computer and it was gone.......................!!!!!!!!! I believe that Scottie came for a short visit. I love it. Love, Grandma/Mom
