JUMP!
After attending worship this morning, my wife and I were waiting for our
daughter to lead us out of the parking lot. That's when the cell phone rang
and she informed us that she left her lights on during worship and her car
battery was dead.
I asked a couple of people leaving the parking lot if they could jump her
battery. No one had cables with them but one man said he would drive
home and get his and be right back. I headed on home in my car while my
wife and daughter waited for the man to return. When he arrived, he got
the battery jumped and soon they afterwards they headed home too.
Richard was so kind to take the time to offer us help on a cold, wet Sunday.
The good Samaritan came along just at the right time and jumped right in
to help her.
** Ohers would of helped had they had their jumper cable with them. They
said call AAA but along came the Good Samaritan who was willing to do
more.

My wife says I moan and groan more and more so she wants to know why. Here are my top ten reasons why I moan and groan: 10. I work too hard and day. 9. I get bored because there isn't
any work to do. 8. Watching cars pass ou house from our front porch makes me tired. 7. coming
up with 10 right answers wears me out. 6. I lost my get-up& go & can't seem to get-up & go find
it. 5. My undies are too tight. 4. I'm almost as old as my oldest old brother. 3. I keep seeing my dad whenever I look in the mirror. 2. I can't see anything anybody said and I can't hear anything anyone see's. 1. It's a hymn I'm working on for the Rest Home & entitled: Come Moan, We've Gotta Be Groaning On Our Way. I have to hum it since I can't rember the words and because my teeth fall out if I hit a high note, Sing along now, children..a one, a 2......

A DAY OFF
I slept in this morning untill 7:30. I would stayed in bed but Derby (dog) was scratching
at the door to go out. Therefore, I got up to let him out & get him back in. I stayed awake
and had my morning coffee while reading two morning newspapers. Then I watched the
up and down game between UK-Alabama, which UK won! Go Cats! I ate pizza before
doing a couple of other things here at home. Life sure can be tough on an old man even
on a Saturday when it's his day off. Speaking of off, I'm off this thing and off to take a
nap. After all, Sunday is comin'

ONCE UPON A TIME
While I was reading early this morning, I put my book aside and looked at my wrinkled
hands. I started thinking about where they have been and what they have done, and why
do they look like they do.
Once upon a time, long ago, they were so small and so soft. They were held in the hands
of mom and dad to keep me from falling or to pick me up when I did fall down. Once upon
a time they wrote words for the first time. They made a bed or they learned to ride a new
bike. Once upon a time they held a Bible given to me by my parents. Once upon a time
my hands held the hands of a young lady. And then once upon a time almost 43 years
ago they held the hands of my wife and then our children.
These wrinkled hands were once soft and smooth but now they show wrinkles, scars and
smudges of dirt even if my mom did tell me to was my dirty hands, many, many times.
These hands are slowly starting to look like the wrinkled hands of my aging father who
held a big King James Bible in them for the 300th time. When I look at the cast of dad's
hands that are in our house, I remember that once upon a time, not all that long ago,
those hands waved a kiss towards me from the bed upon which dad died.
What do your hands look like? Why do they look as they do? Let me hand it to you to
keep using your hands to do the very best you can to touch someone with compassion
and care like our Lord did with His hands, long, long ago, and even again today.
Every Sunday I look down at my hands while in worship at the early service at church.
While the preacher preaches I see my hands. I see the aging hands that soon will
take communion bread and juice and consecrate it for the congregation and soon
there after, serve them one by one the Lords' Supper. It's then and there that I know
that at that time, I'm doing what God called me to do when I said yes to being a
pastor. But there is something else that happens in that service that touches me.
Years ago I served communion to some of the very people who approach me each
Sunday now. And when they reach out their hands to take the bread, I see aging
hands that were soft and smooth once upon a time.

MOVIES IN THE MORNING
As I grow older, I'm watching more and more old, old movies. I turn the Turner
Classic Movies on and watch movies from way back when. The problem I have
is how many of the movies or actors I can call by name quicker than I can snap
my fingers. I can't do that very well when it comes to today's movies. I guess I
just happen to like the goodd old day's better.
It's 6:30 a.m. cdt and I'm about to watch Joan in Paris just to see if I remember
anyone from the movie. Looking at the cast of character's thus far, I can't place
one name in my old mind. Maybe I will the next time I watch it. Or, I may turn
Turner off and turn on Good Morning America and see if I know any of the
people on it. Better yet, I may go back to sleep after my morning cup's of hot
coffee. Problem with that though is having to get up and go to the bathroom
so many times, just like being at the movies. Excuse me, please, I have to go
right now!

YOU ASKED FOR IT
While I was having coffee this morning at Barnes & Noble, a man from our coffee group
came in late. When he saw me he pointed at me and said, "Hello, potted plant (because
I'm there so often)." I looked at him and said, "Atleast I'm not a blooming idiot!" He
hushed up but smiled at me as if to say, "I'll get even." I doubt it because I'm too quick
on the draw. Besides, my plants are resting for the winter.
I enjoyed reading from four books while I was at Barnes & Noble today. I needed to stay
there and take my time being by myself after the coffee club guy's left. It was so nice to
not have to be anywhere else, doing something else. (my wife may not agree with me)
I started reading a new book that I really was blessed by reading as much of it as I did.
I'll have to go back (soon, I hope) to finish it. I even cheated and wrote down a couple
of notes from it.
The Cafe' was full with people talking, reading, playing cards or chess while sipping a
drink & eating something. I only knew one person in the crowded cafe' so I said something
to her as I was leaving.

ATTENDANCE WAS WAY UP
Our pastor was gone last Sunday and someone else from the staff preached. I wanted
to ask him today in church if he saw how high the attendance was last Sunday when
he didn't preach. The week before was less than 800 and last Sunday it was almost
1300. Maybe he should let staff members preach more often if he wants to see the
church grow. (ha)
He preached to a full house today and preached a great sermon on the subject of prayer.
If I had asked him what I wanted too, I might need prayer! come to think about it, I
do!!

AN AFTERNOON TO REMEMBER
This afternoon while I was watching football, I realized I had on a sweater that belonged
to my twin who died last year. All of the sudden I could see him in his house sitting on his
lazy boy with his dog in his lap while watching tv and wearing the sweater I have on. You
see, I was sitting on my lazy boy with our dog in my lap watching tv with that sweater on.
Wierd, I felt Harold's presence and almost heard him saying, "nice dog, nice lazy boy, nice
tv, hey! THAT'S MY SWEATER!!" Well, it's mine now and I'll take good care of it. Except,
I should ask Harold what this food stain is on the right sleave.

The new garage door was put in place yesterday morning at our house
after a few weeks without a door at all. It looks so nice, keeps the house
cooler and safer. As we rejoice in this being done, we also are trying to
get some rest after a very busy two weeks.
I plan to go to Barnes & Noble Wednesday and read from a couple of
new books while drinking coffee and eating a blueberry muffin. I had
wanted to go today but I had to take the dog for a shot and help do
a couple of things here at home. It worked out. My wife made a cobbler
this afternoon and it is sooooooo goooooooooood.

A HOT HOUSE
I'm glad to say that at the end of this second day we have
a new ac in place and clean air ducts. Today was worse
than yesterday due to not having the ac on as much. It
has been a hot house with little cool air at all. Even if a
fan was blowing, it was blowing hot air!
It will take all night to get it cooler inside due to the hot
outside. But we are delight that we have ac most of the
time when others don't have it at all. I feel so sorry for
those that don't have ac at all.
We look forward to next Monday morning because that
is when a new garage door will be put in place. We and
our dog will be glad because it gives us safety as well as
a quiter house. Besides, it will look better than no door
at all or tarps hanging down to keep the weather out. We
might even win an award for the best improved house
in Hunting Creek. We even gave the old door away today
to someone for scrap medal. I have an idea whe did pretty
well with taking it off our hands. Good for him, good for
us.
I plan to rest Wednesday after two hot day's here at home.
As I've said, we both worn out with waiting, working and
having a hot house on two very hot day's. By the way, our
son came today and plans to leave Wednesday. He should
of taken my advice and come at a better time. However, it
is so good having home even if it hot stuff!

A HEAT WAVE
I attended the 8:15 service this morning and then headed
home to let my nephew drop his dog off for the week at our
house while his family is at music camp. Now we have two
barking dogs to take care of till Saturday. the worse thing
(really best) is that tomorrow the air-conditioning will be
shut down while a new one is installed through Tuesday.
We can't complain since we have had air-condioning while
some people don't have any at all.
I went to Barnes & Noble and started reading a new book
this afternoon. It was a cool place to be while drinking my
hot coffee and reading a the same time. I may go back in
the morning if I can't stand the heat (get out of the kitchen)
and I doubt I can. It will be a heat wave as I wave good bye
to the dog's & my dear wife.

BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING
Big brother is watching. That is an old statement about the
possibity of the government watching everything anyone
does. But I like big brother better because my big brother
is watching out for me and our younger brother.
It is nice to get a phone call from big brother to check up
on you and it is even nicer to know that big brother is much
older than I am. He doesn't look as old as he almost is (soon)
but he sure is wise in his ways.
May the Lord look down upon my big brother and bless and
keep him safe and sound. May the Lord look down upon my
big brother because he is someone I care about a great deal.
Thanks big brother, Kenneth.

SATURDAY SILENCE
I got up before 5:30 and took the two news papers to the back
deck to read them. Instead, I found myself staring at the gray
sky above and the fog. It looked so calm. Then I listened to the
silence of the early morning and thanked the Lord for another
new day.
As I drank coffee and read the papers, I placed a covering down
on the deck for Derby (dog) so he wouldn't get wet from the wet
deck. A few minutes after that I felt somehing on my left foot. It
was Derby telling me he was ready to come back inside. So, here
I am at the desk while Derby is back in bed beside our daughter.
Maybe I can get something done now.
I twisted and turned all night it seems. I think i had too much on
my mind to sleep well. Most of the time I sleep pretty well through
the night. Not last night. I'm glad it doesn't happen very often. It
could be too much coffee or too much rubert pie or somethimg like
that.
My right leg looks like it's all red from a fall a few weeks ago. While
it is healing and not hurting, it is amazing to see it like this. As the
healing takes places the blood goes down the leg until it's healed.
The small knot on my hip isn't as big as it has been but it's still
there. It reminds me of just how quick things change and that I
better behave. Well, try to behave. I walk with my cane most of
the time and try to watch where I'm going. I just hope it's not down
again.
That's enough stuff for a Saturday filled with silence. Soon the sounds
of silence will be replaced with the sounds of traffic, people, tv, and
things like that. As Paul Harvey would say, "Good day."

GOOD INTENTIONS
I have missed my twin brother today. While I was at Barnes
& Nobel, I picked up two books about the death of siblings. At
first I was just going to get a quick glance at them and get up
and on my way. Several minutes latter I did just that with tears
in my eyes.
Each book spoke about things siblings meant to say and do with
one another but failed to get it done. Things like talking about the
past and the future, going on trips together, calling one another
more often, etc. Harold and I both had good intentions but failed
to follow through on them when we could have and should have.
I saw my twin as I turned the pages of the two books. I thought
of my twin as I put the two books back where they belonged. And
then I left as a soft rain was falling down from the sky as I walked
out to the car. The rain and tears kissed one another as I wiped
them off my face and headed home knowing that it is good to have
days like this. It was a good day indeed. Good night Harold, good night.

AN OPEN AND CLOSED CASE
When I drove into the parking lot of the resturant where
three of us meet to eat every three weeks, only one truck
was in the lot. I wondered why no one else was there. When
I put my car window down, my friend told me they were on
vacation till Monday. No problem. We went to Bob Evans.
When another friend showed up we informed him that he
had to buy because his name is Bob, he has a birthday this
month so we know he will get money, and because he was
such a nice guy. It worked, he bought for the three of us.
I went to Barnes & Noble to read all alone because I was
far behind on a book I've been trying to read there before.
I got in several chapters before a lovely lady sat down at
my table. I asked her where her husband was and she told
me she didn't and she didn't care. Then and there I
knew I had to take advantage of her so I gave her my
membership card for a cup of hot tea. Afterwards, she
gave the card back to me and went to read some magazines.
Caught up in her beauty and the chance to flirt with her, I
sat down beside her while she was reading. We looked at
one another. Before we knew it, we left together and drove
in seperate cars to meet again. After she unlocked the front
door of her house I walked in and asked her when he husband
would be back. She told me he was with two friends at Bob
Evans and wouldn't be back till afternoon. That's when I
asked the lovely lady her name and she told me Janice as
she slipped her arms around my neck and hugged me. I
melted in her arms until our daughter walked into the room
and said, "You two stop that kissing."
What a day. What a date. What a wild and crazy guy! And
so that's the case of an open and closed case.
three of us meet to eat every three weeks, only one truck
was in the lot. I wondered why no one else was there. When
I put my car window down, my friend told me they were on
vacation till Monday. No problem. We went to Bob Evans.
When another friend showed up we informed him that he
had to buy because his name is Bob, he has a birthday this
month so we know he will get money, and because he was
such a nice guy. It worked, he bought for the three of us.
I went to Barnes & Noble to read all alone because I was
far behind on a book I've been trying to read there before.
I got in several chapters before a lovely lady sat down at
my table. I asked her where her husband was and she told
me she didn't and she didn't care. Then and there I
knew I had to take advantage of her so I gave her my
membership card for a cup of hot tea. Afterwards, she
gave the card back to me and went to read some magazines.
Caught up in her beauty and the chance to flirt with her, I
sat down beside her while she was reading. We looked at
one another. Before we knew it, we left together and drove
in seperate cars to meet again. After she unlocked the front
door of her house I walked in and asked her when he husband
would be back. She told me he was with two friends at Bob
Evans and wouldn't be back till afternoon. That's when I
asked the lovely lady her name and she told me Janice as

GREEN MONSTER MASHED
I threw about half a water melon on the compost this morning because it wasn't worth eating. A few minutes ago, Derby was barking at it like it was a green monster. He barked and barked and barked until I got him inside. Now I am going back outside to smash it up so that the dog will stop all his barking. Maybe he will feel safe after the green monster is dead.
I just killed the green monster. It was a struggle to the end. It spit at me and tried to escape under the vines of other strange looking green looking things. But I prevailed thanks to my shovel and strength. It was not a pretty sight! When Derby went back out he barked at the green monster until he saw that it had split the scene. Feeling safe, Derby licked my leg (I think it was juice from the green monster) and laid down safe and secure. What a day. What a dog. What a grandaddy. What a mess!!

A RETURN TO ROUTINE
The fire crackers will soon be sounds of our past as people
get on with their lives. The celebration will be replaced as
we get back into the routines of day by day living. We will
complain about the heat, hard work and having so much
to do. Welcome to reality that isn't a tv show.
As for myself, I know it sounds crazy but I want to go to
Barnes & Noble to read today. There is something about
the places that allows me to really relax. I will pick up a
new book and find myself wanting to read it. At times,
that new book takes the place for awhile of the book I've
been reading. I will get back to the first book after the
other book is read.
Back to work, house hold duties and the like is what it's
like around our house. Routine things might get to be a
bore at times but that what life is all about. Just be glad
if your able to do things and get on with it. That's what
it is all about. Just like my routine of writing boggs from
time to time.
