ANOTHER WAY TO LOOK AT ALTERNATE LIFE STYLE

PLEASE NOTE: THIS POST IS NOT FOR EVERYONE. SOME OF US HAVE HAD TO ADJUST TO OUR CHILDREN'S CHOICES. BY THE SAME TOKEN, THIS IS NOT INTENDED TO BE THE ONLY WAY TO LOOK AT THIS TOPIC---IT IS ONE THAT SEEMS TO MAKE SENSE TO ME. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF TELLING  OTHERS A SON OR DAUGHTER'S STORY. IT'S THEIR CHOICE NOT MOM OR DAD. OBVIOUSLY, IF ASKED TO HELP---BY ALL MEANS DO SO.

"I WANNA THANK YOU BABY

"DON'T STOP BY THE CREEK, SON"

AS MOST OF THE READERS OF THIS BLOG KNOW, I LISTEN TO ALL SORTS OF MUSIC. I ESPECIALLY LIKE R&B NUMBERS. (TAKES ME BACK TO MY HIGH SCHOOL WLAC RADIO DAYS.).


STEVIE VAUGHN HAS A SONG THAT COULD WELL BE MY THEME SONG. CHECK THE SITE BELOW:

LYRICS OF "DON'T STOP BY THE CREEK, SON"   (GRAHAM CREEK ANYONE?)


Don't stop by the creek, son, that's what my Daddy said
Don't stop by the creek, son, that's what my Daddy said
Didn't hear my Daddy's voice, and I almost end up dead

Take ol' Glannon Road, you don't have to go that way
Take ol' Glannon Road, you don't have to go that way
Didn't hear my Daddy's voice, and that's where I went astray

Don't stop by the creek, son, that's what my Daddy said
Don't stop by the creek, son, that's what my Daddy said
Didn't hear my Daddy's voice, and I almost end up dead

Go right straight to school, son, don't be labeled as a fool
Go right straight to school, son, don't be labeled as a fool
But fall in the crowd, that meant one dip in the pool

Don't stop by the creek, son, that's what my Daddy said
Don't stop by the creek, son, that's what my Daddy said
Didn't hear my Daddy's voice, and I almost end up dead

Don't stop by the creek, son, that's what my Daddy said
Don't stop by the creek, son, that's what my Daddy said
Didn't hear my Daddy's voice, and I almost end up dead

WHAT WE LEARNED AT PCHS STILL TRUE

OUR FOUNDERS WERE MORTAL, IMPERFECT BEINGS. BUT THEIR WISDOM IS AS TRUE TODAY AS BACK IN OUR START AS A GREAT EXPERIMENT IN HUMAN DIGNITY, LIBERTY, AND SELF-RELIANCE.

REFLECTIONS ON DECEASED CLASSMATES

EVEN THOUGH I OFTEN DEAL WITH ILLNESS AND DEATH, THE LOSS OF A CLASSMATE HAS AN UNUSUAL EFFECT UPON ME.


OUR CLASSMATES, FOR BETTER OR WORSE, ARE THE YARDSTICKS BY WHICH WE MEASURE OUR OWN MORTALITY. WE REMEMBER THOSE WONDER YEARS OF OUR YOUTH AND ALL WHO PLAYED A PART IN IT. THANKFULLY, GOD HAS GIVEN US A FILTER THAT STRAINS THE BAD MEMORIES AND PERMITS THE MORE ENJOYABLE TO STAY WITH US----PERHAPS FOREVER!

CLASS OF '59 MEMBER HAS GRADUATED

I WAS SADDEN TO RECEIVE A CALL THIS AFTERNOON TO TELL ME ANOTHER MEMBER OF THE CLASS OF '59 HAS GRADUATED FROM THIS LIFE.


IT SEEMS OUR ROLL IS FAST DWINDLING.
ONE CLASS MEMBER RECENTLY REMINDED ME THAT WE ARE GETTING OLD!


I HAVE NO FEAR OF DEATH. MY ETERNAL SECURITY IS SECURE. MY LIST OF THINGS TO GET DONE SEEM TO NEVER SHORTEN. THAT BOTHERS ME---BOTHERS ME A LOT.


IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHO PASSED AWAY, AN EMAIL TO ke5gk@sbcglobal.net WITH IDENTIFICATION WILL PROVIDE THE INFO.


MAY OUR CLASSMATE REST IN PEACE.

NOTE TO TOMORROW: i STAND FIRMLY WITH ISRAEL

I HAVE OFTEN ASKED MYSELF WHAT WOULD I HAVE I DONE IF I LIVED IN GERMANY DURING THE TERROR OF HITLER ??


I NO LONGER HAVE TO WONDER ABOUT TERROR ONCE MORE CONFRONTING ISRAEL AND ALL OF THE WESTERN WORLD. THIS COMING WEEK THE PRIME MINISTER OF ISRAEL WILL ADDRESS THE CONGRESS OF THE U.S. MOST AMERICANS STAND WITH ISRAEL AND SUPPORT THE VISIT. 


FOR ALL TO KNOW---I SIDE WITH ISRAEL NOW BECAUSE OF THE PROMISES OF OUR TRIUNE  GOD AND THEIR LONE ISOLATION IN THE MIDDLE EAST AGAINST EVIL OF THE WORST SORT. WHERE DO YOU STAND ???? 


THE FOLLOWING ISRAEL NEWSPAPER SITE SPELLS OUT THE CASE VERY, VERY WELL.
