Our Choices For President

Spring

Robert McCracken

Today is the day when bold kites fly,When cumulus clouds roar across the sky.When robins return, when children cheer,When light rain beckons spring to appear.Today is the day when daffodils bloom,Which children pick to fill the room,Today is the day when grasses green,When leaves burst forth for spring to be seen.

Happy New Year

2007 is past and we look to a new year. During the past year I was plagued with a few medical problems but those out weigh the joys we have encountered like seeing Kimberly graduate high school and then getting engaged to Adam. Finding out our middle daughter Kaylee and husband Bradney are expecting their first child. Krista and Kyle also finding out a couple of weeks later that they are expecting their 2nd child, and finally Sarabeth's birth mother signing the adoption papers. Although we are going to be real busy we are looking forward to 2008.

Remembering Dad

Tonight on the way home from work I stopped by the cemetery to see the new headstone that we purchased for dad and mom's grave. As I stood there thinking about dad and Christmas time I remember how dad didn't like Christmas too much, I'm not saying he didn't like the real meaning of Christmas, however he didn't like the commercial side of it, the buying of presents, trees, and decorations, but he would always enjoy when we all got together as a family on Christmas. Dad I really miss you and wish you were here.

Going Back To Work

I know it seems crazy but I'm so glad I get to go back to work tomorrow after being off for a week and a half for emergency eye surgery. Woo-hoo. The doctor says that I'm 20/30 in my right eye and before the surgery I was 20/25 so I have a little way to go.

I Can See Again !!!!

After a week or so of impaired vison I can see again. On Friday evening while riding with my wife to Columbus I was able to distinguish makes and models of vehicles and license plates. I was so excited because the prognosis from the doctor really had me scared, he was saying he couldn't guarantee when or if I would regain my sight back. Thanks to my wife Rhonda who took care of me by making sure I had everything I needed and taking me to the frequent doctor appointments, and to the many individuals and churches that interceded in prayer for me, however the one who deserves all the credit is Jesus Christ, he was with me through it all. Once again this shows the faithfulness of God and with Him all things are possible. I see the doctor again tomorrow and I pray he will release me to go back to work.

Update on Tom

Hi there....this is Tom's wife, Rhonda. Just wanted to let you all know that Tom had emergency surgery Wednesday evening for a detached and torn retina. Now, most of you won't know this but Tom only has one good eye. He is legally blind in the other. Unfortunately, this happened to his good eye. The surgeons are hoping for a full recovery but cannot assure us of anything at this time. They are telling us that it could be up to a year before he regains his sight in that eye. At this time he has very limited vision and what he is able to see is extremely blurry. Please pray for him that he will make a full recovery. He is already having a tough time as all he is able to do is sit or lay.

Guns Don’t Kill People, Staplers Do

In what context is a stapler considered a weapon?A. When the guy you’re fighting pulls out a three hole punch B. When a militant Islamist terrorist group takes an Office Max hostage C. When you’re fighting an angry mob of 200-feet tall piece of loose leaf paper According to the Associated Press, a man tried to rob an ice cream store with a stapler.
The man entered the store, produced a chrome stapler and demanded money from the teller. A chrome stapler? Is Harley Davidson getting into the office supply business?
The teller gave the man the money and he fled the store before witnesses of the crime led police to the man’s house. Police recovered the money, a mask and the stapler. They also confiscated a .45 caliber label maker, a double barreled hole puncher and a sawed-off sticky note dispenser.
A police spokesman said he wasn’t sure how the man was going to use the stapler as a weapon. Investigators believe the man threatened the clerk to either open the cash register or ruin the book he was going to read on his lunch break by stapling the pages together.

The Day After Thanksgiving

After spending the day yesterday gorging on turkey, and dressing I had to keep busy today to burn off the calories that I put on so we went to the church and took down the fall decorations, and then I came home and finished decorating the outside of the house for Christmas. We are having some friends over tonight for another Thanksgiving dinner so I'm preparing myself for the food coma that will follow. Is it true that something in turkey makes you sleepy?

Happy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving Divorce

A man in Phoenix calls his son in New York the day before Thanksgiving and says,"I hate to ruin your day, but I have to tell you that your mother and I are divorcing; forty-five years of misery is enough."Pop, what are you talking about?" the son screams. We can't stand the sight of each other any longer," the father says. "We're sick of each other, and I'm sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in Chicago and tell her."Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone. "Like heck they're getting divorced," she shouts, "I'll take care of this,"She calls Phoenix immediately, and screams at her father, "You are NOT getting divorced. Don't do a single thing until I get there. I'm calling my brother back, and we'll both be there tomorrow. Until then, don't do a thing, DO YOU HEAR ME?" and hangs up.The old man hangs up his phone and turns to his wife. "Okay," he says, "they're coming for Thanksgiving and paying their own way."

The Meaning Of Thanksgiving

It's the time to put all differences aside and mend those relationships that for whatever reason have become strained. It's time to gather with family and friends and enjoy each others company. So this Thanksgiving instead of grumbling and complaining be thankful for those who have been put in your life.
