Billy Graham's Prayer For Our Nation THIS MAN SURE HAS A GOOD VIEW OF WHAT'S HAPPENING TO OUR COUNTRY! 'Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, 'Woe to those who call evil good,' but that is exactly what we have done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values. We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery . We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare .. We have killed our unborn and called it choice . We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable . We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self esteem. We have abused power and called it politics .. We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition . We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression. We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called ...

For a long time I have been reluctant to post any pictures of "the loves of my life". I'm not sure why unless I'm just being over-protective, or maybe even possessive. These girls are all my granddaughters. (The youngest is missing in pic to the right). These three girls are all cousins - none are sisters. Gramma and I like to get all of them for a week every summer for pictures - and fun. Hopefully we will one day be able to get all the grandsons together and do the same thing, but we may end up trying it with half now - half another time. There is getting to be too many of them to have them all at one time. (Or maybe we're just getting too old!). Anyway. I sure think I'm a lucky grandfather. You all take care, now. L e e

Portable Outhouse, aka "thunderbox". aka Porta-Crapper, aka Sanitation Device I live in a neighborhood that 25-30 years ago was actually considered 'out in the country'! It has pretty much built up in that period of time. I've lived here 34 years and have watched it grow. Heck, a block away from me used to be a private airport. Now, one of the state's largest high schools sits on that property. As is the norm, new streets were laid for the subdivisions, but little was done to the main roads that was there long before they ever started building subdivisions - until recent. Apparently they couldn't put them off any longer. So, they finally got around to completly re-doing one of the main roads (a two lane road), opting to straighten it out eleminating several turns, building a new bridge over the creek, making it four lanes, and in some instances, just rerouting it (since there is another town involved in the completion). I use that ...

When someone starts talking about Texas weather, the first thing you must do is find out what part of the state he is representing. Now, that's has nothing to do with 'bragging rights' or the like. You can find just about any kind of weather within the State of Texas. Just depends on where one is standing. Living in the Fort Worth-Dallas area we are, at present, enjoying some cool weather for a change. Well, that actually depends on whether you consider 91 or 92 daytime temperature 'cool'. For us is surely is. Actually, we consider that temperature "tolerable"! I've heard or read of various ways to describe weather in different parts of the country. But, the best description that I've heard doesn't have that much to do with the actual temperature since the level of humidity plays a very large part on the 'comfort zone' of people. And that description simply describes the weather as either "tolerable" or "intolerable". It kind of ...

Well, here I am posting in my blog again. I don’t know how much, or for how long, but I’m going to leave that door open for those times that I have a surge in energy. (LOL) Anyway, I had a little accident a couple of weeks ago, and bruised or cracked several ribs. Doc said there was nothing they could do but give me a Rx for some pain pills. I took one on the day it happened, one-half of one the next day, and have just been taking aspirin ever since. I find the aspirin is more effective, and I don’t have to walk around ‘spaced out’! So, there I was. . . . up on a step ladder, using a broom to try to knock some of the pine needles off the roof of my one-story house. Needless to say, I reached too far and the ladder went out from underneath me. On the way down, it’s amazing how fast things cross your mind. The first was that there was nothing to grab hold of to break my fall. The second thing that crossed my mind was “Oh, s-hucks, this ain’t gonna be good! (Or maybe there ...
